The drummer truly was the star of this video, Jeff Porcaro would have been proud, he was beating them drums like they owed him money. Excellent job. He absolutely nailed it, great tone, nice fills, and timing.
Yeah I've been recently trying to learn the Rosanna Shuffle on drums after a 25 year hiatus from playing and it is a deceptively hard groove to get right and this guy nails it like it was easy as pie. What's sad is the casual music listener just hears a "pop-rock" beat and doesn't realize what's going on with the grace notes and the smooth stamina in the right hand. This guy has it down pat.
@@Sugarsail1 I am not a musician, but i know music. And you're right the casual listener won't hear that. Bernard Purdie is another great drummer (the Purdie shuffle) not sure if Jeff Porcaro got it from him or not, doesn't matter they both are phenomenal drummers. Check out Steely Dan's Deacon Blues, Bernard Purdie was the drummer on that song, another great drummer is Jim Keltner.
Joel could play this stuff with seemingly ease of falling off a log when he was in Jr high. Granted, he lived all things drums n has always been very dedicated to practicing. Still, a little freak of nature. Nicest guy you could ever meet too
@@B5Blue1968 Jeff knew the Purdie Shuffle well and where it came from. Incorporated it on purpose. That's not a slam on Purdie nor on Porcaro ... the saying "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" has truth in it and comes most likely from the entertainment industry. Porcaro was knowledgeable about 20th century pop music to a degree that few could match at his age. The bass drum part was adapted from Bo Diddley and Jeff's genius was in combining the two and seeing its usefulness for the tune Paich had written. The instructional video from 1986 where Jeff discusses this is findable here on YT.
Drummer went full Porcaro mode on this one. Such a solid centerpiece to this production and that shuffle is PERFECTION.
That drummer is INSANELY good and beat-for-beat perfection. Overall this engaging performance knocked it out of the park, great job one and all on one of my fav 'oldie' tunes. Vocals were a 10 for sure, great lead and great backing vocals! Loved this rendition!
2:27 :)!
Guy is a monster player...love it!
Perfection...wellll...no. But good.
he has it.
Called "The Rosanna Shuffle" named and created by Totos' drummer Jeff Porcaro. A half time shuffle with a heavy jazz influence.
If you can play drums like Jeff Pocaro then you have achieved greatness. Great work sir.
I’ll second that!
Drummer is the star of this video
Agree. Drumming was spot on
Hell Yes.🐣
Not even close to Pocaro. Where's the shuffle???
Everyone giving the drummer love (deserved) but the guitarist absolutely 100% on tone and execution on that solo.
yep
TOTO-lly agree
Had to be said. Great leads.
And the keyboards!! 😮
Agree. Not easy. Absolutely
The drums are the glue here, keeps everyone stuck together. BRAVO FREE RADICALS very well done.!!!
I think the reason I've watched this 100 times is because the band really looks like they are having fun. Oh, and the lady. Her too 😀
Oh yeah, definitely her too 😍
No words are adequate for this! Everyone is awesome, but that drummer was sick! He brings it all together, and the drums sound amazing!
Yes, I thought the same - he has THAT feeling for Rosanne! And its a SONOR ;-)
In that Jeff has passed, this is the greatest form of flattery. My gosh this drummer is fantastic and his interpretation of Jeff is spot on. 👍👍👍
IMO snare don't sounds any good, no punch and over compressed.
Snare sounded awesome! The whole band sounded awesome! And they had fun doing it😀
Please give the sound guys some props - they spend tons of time setting up and dialing in the sound, always behind the scenes, and should not be forgotten for their talents
This was bad ass musicians doing their thing. Drummer is awesome. Horn section rocking. Great vocals. tight band. Love you guys.
Just imagine being part of that group who make such amazing music..... I would die happy.
Agreed bro!!
Did you even listen to the entire song?
@@andyharpist2938
I’m thrilled just listening to them. Toto sounds almost as good!
But these guys and gal are more fun to watch. Screaming guitar solos!
@@markklein437 Try this for class!....th-cam.com/video/a1zNRIs0OiM/w-d-xo.html
I grew up with Toto and I've heard dozens of covers over the years but THIS IS THE BEST OF THEM ALL. Absolutely fantastic. Drummer Joel nailed every nuance, vocalists captured every detail perfectly (great harmonies!), horns were needle sharp, guitarists supreme, keyboardists outstanding. GREAT PERFORMANCE!
That is a studio filled with talent. Drummer dude is a legend 👏👏.
Drummer nailed Jeff’s masterpiece and yes I caught the stick flip in the flam fill before the chorus ahead of the solos, in the studio no less
Yep, loved it!
ya noticed right away hes got the Procaro parts down perfect
Drummers snare is beautiful.
Missed the kick hitting with the snare on 4. Sounds good though.
Yeah, stik flip was so cool. Cat can play.
Started the video thinking “If it’s another one where the drummer can’t do it, I ain’t watching”. Was not prepared for how amazing both he and band were!
YES!!! pretty close to Simon Phillips with a lot less equipment.
Purdie Shuffle executed pretty flawlessly by the drummer.
Drummer was slayin' it...damn.
@@rbryda1 Jeff Porcaro, actually.
@@rbryda1 Jeff Porcaro
I cannot for the life of me understand where the music like this is today. like....someone has to be out there in this big ole world .
Check out Rick Beato’s channel for some great content about WTF happened to music over the past 20 years.
I’ve heard lots of covers of Rosanna. This is far and away the best by miles. The best. You guys absolutely rock !
Great cover! So many talented people in one space faithfully recreating timeless music. The drummer kinda stole the show for me though. Laid back and in the groove, and great job with the shuffle.

As a veteran performing keyboardist and now audio engineer, I'm not easily impressed, but you all impressed the daylights outa me! Every single one of you is top-notch!
yes this is great
Why such a snobby comment. Nobody cares about your musical background. You like it or you don't.
@Jeremy Wade that wasn't a snobby comment. He was complimenting them and adding context as a musician with a professional background. Smh
Also a veteran keyboardist with some producer credits, I’m the same. The musicianship was top notch. The female vocals could have been dropped a few db in the mix, and some of the lower harmonies up a couple, but this was TIGHT! (Loved the stick flips off the snare). Keyboardist nailed the synth parts both sound and action.
@@jeremywade6986 You are the snobby comment. The guy gave context that bolstered his compliments.
Steve's guitar solo. NAILED! Note for note! Crushed it!
I think I've watched this video a thousand times. Toto never enough! Congrats to the band, awesome !!!!!!
The Drummer and Guitarist are phenominal, absolutely spot on!
And not forgetting the excellent vocals in harmony with each other oh and the female singer is a looker to!!❤️👍🎸🎧😁
Sim, os 2 são 80% da banda rs
I keep on coming back to this one all the time! I have been a TOTO lover since 99 was first played on the radio in the Netherlands. The drummer is amazing and all do a great job, the mix is so pleasant to listen to and I do not get bored watching it! Thank you for bringing this joy to us!!!
GREAT drummer, AND I want to compliment the brass boys. Perfect horns! 🙂
This is EXCELLENT! Vocals , drums, guitars, keyboards and music complete with sax/trumpets. Jeff Porcaro ( drums ) would be so proud
I get the chills when I hear fantastic music. I am a retired musician, * if there is such a thing! this was way beyond beautiful, and way beyond anything I expected. Does anyone else get the chills when they hear something perfect, or is it only me? It makes my whole body tingle. You all did a great job. This was wonderful!!!
Spot on Paul - I remember the 45 minute drive home after going out in the mid 70's with the V8 sound on the outside and TOTO as loud as possible on the inside - this cover was so good I did get chills just like I did when I played this song in my car for the first time - so glad I was around in that era.
I’m right with you. Reading your words did it too. I’m a drummer/percussionist as well.
Concordo isso ultrapassou os limites de uma música boa parabéns!
Great Drummer!
That dude has a KILLER voice. Everyone in this band is a mega talent, but that guy is so unique.
YEA! What a proud feeling to see yet ANOTHER Fabulous group of superlative musicians and vocalists from here in America. The stick flip was icing on the "WE GOT THIS" cake! I sure hope it was as much fun for you all as it was watch and hear. Thanks also to the engineering folks for doing such a great job recording Rosanna
Hands down the best version of Rosanna I've heard. Drumming and Guitar were phenomenal but all instruments including the voices superb.
Hmmm, I'd say the best version is the original. This is a great cover, though!
Drummer nailed Jeff Pecoro’s version of the Purdie Shuffle. A true delight. Had me at the drummer’s start!
Porcaro was a genius. What a loss!
Right off the bat, I looked at my son (who is a drummer) and said “dang - guy certainly has Jeff’s Rosanna Shuffle down.” Kudos to the drummer, and all members of the band. Impressive cover.
Y'all are simply FANTASTIC!!
Dudes got a crazy powerful voice! Wow!💯💯💯👍
Nice job all around.. but that drummer KILLED IT !
Porcaro would be proud!
👍
The groove the drummer creates with that ride cymbal is insane.
Holy f#ck that man can sing! He had range to spare! And the band. Thank you you guys made my night
I agree, his range is phenomial. Wow! And the girl's vocalizations were perfect; THERE but not overpowering. Loved it!
Fantastic. Props to the drummer for pulling off the Purdie shuffle. Wow. That is was a super performance.
Love to see a drummer so deep in that groove! Great show!
@Len Sharps Are you a drummer. The beat is hard to learn but it's epic.
Ahhh, yes, but no one plays it like Jeff did. Except my dad. He actually played it just like the original.
It was just okay for me...the ghost notes weren't there.
@@bigelile07 It looked like he was playing them to me. Maybe not high enough in the mix.
Loved watching how he worked the high hat. Shades of Jeff P.
All these musicians are just awesome. Yes!!!
Everything about this rocks. Absolutely everything!
Great cover - but I've got to give props to the guy on drums. His 'Rosanna shuffle' is awesome. Porcaro would approve.
Purdie would also approve ;)
Drums spot on. Excellent job by everyone.
Rickae and Jordan absolutely nail this cover. Love it. Sound so good together.
Drummer, bass, lead, keys, brass and vocals all on point! Awesome team effort here.
Seeing a group of talented people come together and doing what they love...I'm grateful. Awesome job gang!!
Outstanding performance - perfection!
THIS GROUP JUST NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!
BRAVO👍👌👍👌👍
I've been listening to this video for more than a hundred times already, probably closing on 200. And I have questions.
Why does this channel only have 12K subscribers?
Why does the band have only 8 videos??
Why aren't they performing live in front of thousands of people???
Everything in this video screams *talent* and *tons* of it. From the unbelievable drum groove through through the excellent voices, the awesome guitar and brass play and into taping/mixing. I want so much more of this!!
Well, at least one reason is, no matter how good cover bands are, they're still cover bands and there are many around who do great jobs...on ytube. What makes the difference is original material and that is what, as the old saying goes, "separates the men from the boys". Just the way it is.
Vocals, guitar, EVERYONE on point on this - absolutely amazing version thanks so much!!!
That is really an iconic drum groove and flawlessly played. Great drummer! 👏
Damn talented musicians right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is INCREDIBLE!! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents. WOW. Just WOW!!
Not too many drummers could even approach Porcaro’s epic riff in this song…props to him and the rest of the band, very well done.
Obviously they all nailed it. Let's just remember one thing that's going on here. They are all having a blast doing it. It sounds absolutely magnificent but people in a world with full of Filth, They're having fun. Plus, they are putting smiles on all our faces. Hats off. Keep the music alive
Awesomeness in musical and human talent!! No 0ther words needed IMHO! Perfect harmony!
I just HAD to come back and hear this again! Fantastic!!
I can’t even tell how many times that I’ve watched/listened to this. Great cover. You can really tell when everyone really gets into it
The drummer is ON IT!!!
Not to take away from the rest of the band BUT... he's is in the moment.
Great job
Thanks for sharing
Like, super on it!!!
Yep, drummer is awesome
It’s so cool watching these unknown studio guys just lay down drum tracks like it was their job(ok it is) lol try live from Daryl’s place blue collar man that guy just crushes
@@davewhite3193 I've listend to Daryll Hall and his studio band often.
They are tight... but THEY get paid :)
Yes he is great: he used to be in the band YYNOT--a Rush tribute with original music too....you can still find videos of him playing in that band on youtube
tears are running down my face,AWESOME!!!!!
Excellent. One of my favourite Toto songs.
You guys are awesome. Such talent. A real trip down memory lane. Thanks heaps for sharing.
Awesome cover guys, TOTO is a musically top shelf band and you guys nailed it beautifully.......well done !
Simply an amazing cover. Note for note. Bar for bar. It really highlights what an amazing band Toto was and what skill level is needed to reproduce their sound. RIP Jeff Porcaro.
Omg the joy this gives me ❤
What a tenor! What a voice!
My 2 years old love this song. It has been on repeat for the past couple of weeks at least. Great cover, great band.
You guy are absolutely incredible!!! All you need are more videos!!! Thank you so much for the great music. No matter how bad the day is when you hear great music it cheers you up. So again, thank you so much.
One of the best Toto's cover I've heard. Super!!!
Nailed it!. The Drummer is ACE. Thank you.
Really great. Everyone including Stoker White. Every drummer will tell you this song sorts the wheat from the chaff. Joel is obviously wheat. Excellent guitar solo. The vocals are just spot on. Jordan and Rickae - husband and wife? excellent!!
This video is pure joy to watch and listen to.
Wow..!! This is just awesome.....great musicians..!! Bravo..!!
Great cover, this is one of the best that I've heard...Jeff Pocaro would be impressed with the drummer!
one word, GREAT... now we need more and more from you.
This is definitely one of the best - energy galore.
just utterly amazing
Amazing! I’m a huge fan of covers by Leonid & Friends so when a cover band can hit it on the head like you did I’m super stoked. I’ll be watch from now on!
Love me some Leonid!
Breathtaking musical team. There's good, there's great, and then there's par excellence!
Absolutely on point killer. Total top level pros. Wow!!!!!!❤
Made me smile.
Made me appreciate this throw back from my youth.
This band nailed this song! Multi-layered and just a great composition. Really good musicianship.
I'm saving this one as a favorite!
LOVE how you guys took the energy out the roof when the drummer flipped his stick! Chills went down my spine. GREAT JOB! Drummer dude, you made me smile...
Everyone: Terrific! No words for that drummer. I can't even...
Espetáculo!!!👏👏👏
Great sound, great vocals great horn section, great drummer, great keyboards, great guitars......super great cover !!!
The musicianship is outstanding. I just saw Toto perform this 3 weeks ago. This totally does them justice!
That "shuffle" is how I rate a drummer. Superlative! Nailed it!
Acoustically perfect! Awesome.
Listening again and again!!!! This so effin great!
This is a tremendous cover of a superb song. Everyone involved absolutely nailed it!
Unexpected vocals. Still so put-together and so clean. Damn!
ABSOLUTELY AWSOME BAND covered perfectly with extremely skilled muso's. Thoroughly enjoyed the performances.
What a drumming masterclass right there capped off with perfect stick flip. Amazing
Man, I am IMPRESSED. Toto's music is not easy by any means, and these guys (and lady) freaking nailed it. That's one of my favorite guitar solos, too. Excellent job!
I almost forgot how great this song sounds and the drummer bang on, the band is awesome.
Fantastic, bravo to all , plus the engineers for this mixture
Simply brilliant.
Sweet!👍❣One of the best, if not the best cover of Rosanna I've heard since I fell in love with the song sooo many years ago! Standing ovation worthy for sure!👍
Damn! I have seen countless covers of this song. This is #1 incredible. Drummer kills it!! Everyone does.
Wow! All of you were awesome, those horns added a new dynamic to the song, and the drummer kept it all together! I look forward to seeing more.
More than fantastic. Congratulations and thank you so much....
