Thank you for your flurry of comments on so many of my drum covers. I appreciate you taking time to watch. Just remember that I'm COPYING the great drummers who created these songs. Those guys are the great ones!!!
Even though you are copying the amazing drum work Of others doesn’t mean that you aren’t great as well. Don’t sell your self short they aren’t many people that place this solid. I play a lot of stringed instruments for twenty five years but only drums for five years. It takes a great ear for music as well as ability. I have learned a lot watching you man. Thanks
i am a musician but i dont play drums. so the best tribute i can ever pay to jeff is to share his music with others and listen to it and appreciate its immortality. you have another role. not only are you a drummer, but after much practice you can truly pay homage to the man and i am 110% certain he is smiling down on you, maybe giving you a nod. we all approve. even jeff. thank you for sharing this.
Thank you!! Somehow, I get a pretty good sound in my basement with an inexpensive drum kit with 15-year-old heads, an old analog mixer and a mishmash of beat-up microphones.
This song is the drummer equivalent of climbing K-2 or Everest, to play it like Porcaro did...and bravo Sir. That dotted eighth triplet with the ghostnotes too...gorgeous playing and Jeff himself is smiling down saying "holy shit!"
The Late Great Jeff Porcaro. Gone way to soon. Rosanna from ToTo IV. I think this album won a Grammy for Album of the year. Jeff is one of my favorites. Well done on this cover my good dude. 👍🤘
Remember the video for this song... The woman dancing in that was Penny from Dirty Dancing and the love interest in Staying Alive with Travolta.... This was from 1982 I believe..... Keep the flame alive man... I am loving it.....
Yo Steve, every time I watch one of your videos it raises my vibration! you are an inspiration and thank you, every time I want to figure out a song your the one I come to and you never fail to elevate my playing!!!
Thank you!! I started playing drums when I was 18 so I've been playing for 42 years. YIKES!!!! When I look at it that way, I should be WAY better than I am!!!!!
Thank you. The best way to develop a fast shuffle motion is to learn the Moeller drumming technique. There are videos all over TH-cam that teach this method. Once you get comfortable with it, you'll be shuffling like a Vegas blackjack dealer!!! LOL!! Good luck!!
K bárbaro k eres brother mis respetos saludos de Perú desde New York ❤🎉
Wicked good creation of the immortal Jeff Porcaro's shuffle beat. There's an incredible amount of stuff going on here, great job capturing it all!
Thank you!!! Jeff Porcaro was a genius for sure.
As a drummer guy, I’m amazed at all the flavors incorporated in this shuffle groove! Long live JP👍🏻💯🤘🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hey Steve, I'd like to go to sleep tonight, but I can't stop listening to you. LOL!

Do you tune your toms and snare specifically for every cover?

Awesome playing Steve, very tight! Great sounding kit!👍

@Dillon Rory yea, I have been watching on flixzone for since november myself :D

Ahh! The ghosts! The ghosts are coming for you!!! They are tapdancing all over your swing...and they are so freaking sweet!
Yes, ghosts are all around us...all the time. The tricky part is catching them!!! Thank you!!!!!

Welcome!!! I have 300+ drum cover videos on my channel in a variety of music genres. Thanks for subbing!!!
Ghost notes and flams. Yeah, you got this...
Ha!!! Yes, ghost notes and flams are the secret sauce of drumming!!! I'm still working on my "recipe"!
awesome cover. how do i develop a fast shuffle like that?

@@SteveToccoDrummer thanks for the tip Steve!
The old adage being 10,000 hours😳
Dig it man
Did you ever do Africa?
I posted a video of Africa but it was blocked by TH-cam. Sorry.
Ok. Too bad. I bet It was great.
Isn't that a Porcaro original? lol In the words of Franco Loja, "that's some really-really good stuff man!" Thanks for posting!
RIP Franco
Drum this, and you can drum anything
HA!!! Well, I wouldn't say "anything" but it was definitely a good feeling to get through it. Thank you!!
I always have trouble counting the break.
bon cover
Really good and solid playing that shuffle. I spent months to getting that groove. You earned a new sub!!!
The best of the guess who. it's to late . Let me know
No te molesto tocar con reloj
schuffle groove ?????
Yes, it's the Roseanna Shuffle.
This one works, but Africa doesn't!
+Fat Sam Do you mean the link to Africa doesn't work, or do I suck at it (Africa)?
+Steve Tocco says it's blocked in my country in copyright grounds.
+Fat Sam Hmmm. Try this one and let me know if it works. Thanks!!!!! vimeo.com/140273244
