Nikos Sygletos - Rosanna - TOTO - Drum Cover

Nikos Sygletos - Rosanna - TOTO - Drum Cover
My cover version on this unbelievable track from Toto.It's the first track of the fourth album of Toto , "Toto IV" released in 1982 and it's known for the legendary half-time shuffle of Jeff Porcaro. At first, I did't realise the difficulty of this groove but when I decided to make a cover on it, I understood.Jeff is the groove master and it's really magnificent how he plays those very silent ghost notes . So , I tried my best and I hope you like it!
I do not own the rights of the song.

[@Jsybillionaire]

I think any musician, sax player here. Respect

[@thunderdax8759]

yes. it's one of the goals of any drummer. I still haven't get here :(

[@jackk8093]

Just like session drummer should be. Solid and complimentary to the music. You add the grove and timing needed to let the music shine along with the lead instrument or vocal at the time. You know how to not walk over everyone else. That is the real art to drums. I am sure you are just as complementary when playing live. Your self control is priceless

[@nicksigletos4421]

Wow! Thank you so much for such kind words! I try my best!

[@nixneato]

Well that is just PERFECT. The groove is simply perfect from beginning to end. Fantastic stuff.

[@nicksigletos4421]

Thanks!!

[@1idua]

for a year now listen and listen this song trying too to play with drum. I think it be one of the best songs of all time for a drummer

[@nicksigletos4421]

Yeah it' s a great song to play!!

[@KLRFJR]

Pocket so deep and wide that the whole band can fit.

[@nicksigletos4421]

Thnx🙏!

[@russellstewart4177]

Wonderful job, Nikos! I appreciate your playing. Solid, smooth, controlled. I'm so tired of too many egotistical show-off drummers getting off on their own playing and trying to look flashy and important. You sir, are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for putting the song first, keeping it musical, and leaving any ego out of the video.

[@nicksigletos4421]

Wow!! What wonderful words!! Thank you so so much!! It really means a lot to me hearing such kind words!! It really gives me energy and passion to keep going!! Much love Sir 🙏.

[@VintageBoxingTM]

Just like Sir Jeff was. Played for the song. He’d be proud of you Nikos.
I’m just at the early learning stage for this groove. It’s hard as hell but I’m determined to nail it.

[@serenityproto]

Awesome Cover and I really love the Sound of your Drums! You are just what I am looking for, just playing the Drums and enjoying it. Most Drum Covers on youtube are just people showing off and playing completely unnecessary Fills every Measure. And on the other hand there are the few people like you just performing the Song.
Keep it up, I´m exited to see whats coming up next!

[@nicksigletos4421]

Thank you❤. I appreciate it!!

Incredible cover dude, this is not an easy one and you nailed it! What kit do you play? 🤜🤛🥁📺

Thanks man!! It's the Gretsch Renown Maple !

[@jaygee8566]

Really awesome, have a sub. That only thing I'll point out, and it's minor, is that in the lead-in fill into the chorus, that last hit on the floor tom works better on the bass drum.

[@nicksigletos4421]

Thanks man!

[@donaldmeehan1631]

that was great but can you play like Steve Gadd on 50 ways I would love to hear you do that or the Purdie shuffle from home at last and fool in the rain John Bonham according to Jeff Porcaro thats where he came up with that half time shuffle you have great chops and a swinging groove keep on playing music needs more cats like you

[@VXReef]

Easy to tell you have chops without you showing off. Solid performance.

[@nicksigletos4421]

Thank you man!!

[@robdrumcover]

I love your style of play which is very square and clean, well done!!I also make drum videos, take a look at the occasion, I make metal and rock, congratulations to you again and I really like Toto !!

Ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε!! Ναι είναι η σειρά HHX evolution του Dave weckl! Είναι πιο dark πατίνια, αλλά το εντυπωσιακό με αυτά, ειδικά στα crash είναι ότι έχουν άμεσο projection ,δηλ. ακόμα και με ένα άγγιγμα με το χερι το πιατίνι θα παίξει κανονικά!

[@DeezNuts-zv6mj]

You're missing a kick in the main groove on count 3 when you hit the snare in bar 2. Google rosanna shuffle on google images. Nonetheless, great job.
