This is one of those drum covers that makes non-drummers like me (guitarist and bassist) just wanna move to drums and never go back lol, nice work dude, sounds flawless! Keep playin’
TREMENDOUS JOYFUL BEAUTIFUL EFFORT. It is impossible to be in a depressed state when watching you exuberantly playing this wonderful song. From your co.ments I can tell you are very grounded. You express both humility and excellence, which a terrific combination in a human being.
Superb cover Steve, Maurice White is probably looking down with a big smile on his face ! Your interpretation is spot on to the original track, really doing it justice. Thanks for a great video, rewatched it several times. Take care and regards from Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦.
@@SteveToccoDrummer You Are So Welcome Steve. They Sound Beautiful man.!! Im A Drummer Myself. Love The Sound Of your Kit. Love This old school music !!!
@@SteveToccoDrummer I have been playing drums since I was young, and I took lessons for years! I got a new, new to me, DW drum set. It's so beautiful! It's 7 pc. Pistachio Green sparkle!
@@SteveToccoDrummer I wanted to do some drum videos, more teaching than playing, but I don't know how to make a youtube video? I"m not sure if I should use my laptop or something else. Maybe one of these days....
Very nice job! You brought out some things that I didn't hear before and love that you don't overplay! So many drummers over play so much, throwing their own inappropriate triplets and fills, multiple cymbal crashes, etc. that while they may be a good drummer, makes them look like douche bags and totally ruins the song! You were spot on! I also like your Gino covers! Those are hard to do! I play a lot of Gino! Love Mark Craney (RIP)!
@@SteveToccoDrummer You're welcome and yes they are :) I have been watching your covers for the past couple hours and they are all absolutely amazing,and your song selections are great!
@@brianmercurio9894 Wow, a couple hours!!! I hope it's been worth your time. It never ceases to amaze me how many great songs are out there in the world. I have about 450 songs on my channel and there are hundreds more songs I'd love to cover. Are you a drummer?
@@SteveToccoDrummer Yeah it's worth my time and I will be watching more of your covers soon. Wow you have done a lot of covers! No I'm not a drummer,but drums are my favorite instrument.
@@brianmercurio9894 Drummer or no drummer, I appreciate your kind support. Believe it or not, I have 450+ drum covers on my channel. I must be out of my mind but it's a lot of fun. Thanks again!!!
Thank you, Kevin!!! Re: cymbals...I have all kinds. Some are very expensive, some are very inexpensive. In general, the adage is correct, "You get what you pay for." The inexpensive cymbals sound good but they tend to sound "tinny" and harsh. They also lack a full range of textures and tend to crack easier.
Great Cover . What Crashes And What Sizes Are You Using & What Kind Of Ride Is That?!? They Sound Amazing !! And What Snare Head Are You Using ? Sounds Nice And Fat !!
This is one of those drum covers that makes non-drummers like me (guitarist and bassist) just wanna move to drums and never go back lol, nice work dude, sounds flawless! Keep playin’
Where would drummers be without guitarists and bassists???? We'd all be locked up for disturbing the peace and noise violations!!! LOL!!! Thanks!!!
この曲、大好きです。朝から、この曲を聞くと元気をもらえます！ドラムが大好き！娘が吹奏楽で、パーカッションを担当していたので、どうしても、リズム系に耳がいってしまう！今日も、元気を有難う！
Thank you!!
I really like the sound of that hi-hat
It's a 13/5" Zildjian KZ hi-hat.
貴方のドラムとても参考になりました！動画をあげてくれてありがとう！
ありがとうございました。私はあなたを助けてうれしいです。

Emmanuel Mabana Thank you!!!

You have a great feel. It cannot be easy to follow the record, copying what is there without a click. Great Job!!!
Clicks are overrated.
Bad ass skills Steve! Couldn’t tell you from the original! That drum fill at 3:19 was spot on!! 👍👍
Thank you!!!
It wasn’t spot on, as the original didn’t contain all those drum fills, but the embellishments were your own nice personal touch.
Solid play, great pocket and feel. True rendition 🤘 great high hat accents
Thank you!!!
Keep coming back to listen to this, Steve. Poss my fave of your vids.
Thank you, Dom. It's the song that keeps you coming back...NOT me!

Thank you for your kind supportive comment. Yes, Gino Vannelli is great and so was Mark Craney (rest in peace).

Another great one...thanks! What's your opinion on expensive vs inexpensive cymbals?
