How To Get Jeff Porcaro's Sound On Toto's Hit Song Rosanna

Описание: *Use good headphones 🎧 or speakers for best audio quality*

Ok, so yesterday would have been Jeff Porcaro’s 66th b-day and I honestly didn’t feel right posting this on the same day and funny enough, I didn’t time it to be done by then but it just worked out that way. As I mention in the video, I never wanted this to be another “cover” - there are a million of those out there. So I muted the lead vocal and instead, this is my attempt at capturing and breaking down the sound of the drum track from my own home studio - everything from the drums themselves, mics, tuning, reverbs and playing techniques to get as close to the original as possible. Playing it almost note for note was CHALLENGING, if you haven’t ever tried it - locking in with the original band track made it that much more difficult. But doing so taught me a lot. I tried to reveal as much of what I discovered here but if anyone has questions, you know what to do. A special shout out to my friend, Blair Sinta, who’s videos have inspired me to dig deep on these kinds of matters.
