You are so right. On KZitem there are many a break down of this groove as demonstrated by prominent KZitem drummers but while some of those videos are commendable lessons , none of them are like the original! The missing element in those videos? Jeff had a feel that is so difficult to reproduce. I'm trying now though but not by watching other drummer break downs but by exclusively researching Jeff's own break down of his unique shuffle and also by listening to a lot of his records. I think we can re produce it but so far haven't heard it on KZitem by main channels with videos on the topic. Porcaro is historically a reminder of what it is we bring to music as individuals and not just as technicians or students of this medium

@@kevinsibert3160 hey thanks for responding to my former comment! That's a cool insight you've shared with me here. My comment was for drummers, but as a drummer of some time I've long learned to want non drummer's point of views. Non drummers,ie other musician has been my primary source of gigs. Listening to guitarist preferences and singer's and bass player's wants too helped me get more gigs by catering for the composer's vision rather than being the standard or stereo typical drum part accompaniment or hired time keeper. Porcaro always represented that more musical ethos for buddying drummers before me and many other of his actual peers. It's here where he inspired me most. Your sharing his propensity for humbleness and relatable human fear further solidifies that for me. He cared about the song and then after how his contributions would affect it. you sharing this exchange you had with him is so educational for me, thanks for sharing this so!

I suspect what the OP was referring to was that any time Jeff himself was asked about his parts, he would go out of his way to enumerate every single player who influenced the parts he came up with - and he would consistently play down his own creativity in favour of the players who influenced him. To circle back - any musician who knows their stuff should be well aware how brilliant Jeff was and is - and while I'm sure Jeff must have had some idea in his own heart of how good he was, most everyone who knew him insist he would never have accepted that accolade without at least explaining who inspired him.

When the Rosanna tracks are isolated Its like a creation that's coming to life. You also can hear how much detail was put in by each member of Toto. Every isolated track sounds great and you can really hear the ghost notes Jeff P did. He probably did the drums on this drums in one take he was that good. He had to the busiest drummer of all time in the 70's-90's. People hired him because he had the best time in the world and was very versatile. He has played on over a 1000 records during his career. Words cannon explain how great this man was as a drummer and as a person. When he passed away that was the biggest blow for Toto. They almost quit after he died but carried on with his parents blessing and are still going strong today. Jeff P is looking down on the band and will always be with them.

It's all coming together now..I didn't need someone to show me how to play it..I just needed to hear it without the rest of Toto being Toto on top of it.

There is a story about Porcaro in the studio. The engineer ran a few bars of click/metronome in Porcaro's head set. Porcaro began playing a drum beat to the click. The engineer then turned OFF the click in Porcaro's ears but kept the click playing in the control room. Porcaro NEVER got off beat until about 2:30 into the click! And his variance was oh so slight. I think that displays the amazing talents of Porcaro. That's why he was one of the hottest pop/rock session players in L.A. and why TOTO was so damned tight!

Now this was what a real drummer sounds like. Beautiful finesse, ghost notes are amazing.....such a loss. RIP Jeff, we miss you.

The room by brother and I shared had a poster of jeff with his kit. For years I never knew why my brother ( drummer) had that poster. Now after discovering toto and coming to this video to see this pic, the same that was in my room growing up do I understand why. It's simple. Jeff porcaro is a drumming wizard.

Loved Jeff since before Toto. (Warren Zevon, Jackson Brown, Steely Dan etc..) He still means as much to me now as ever even after he passed. What a beautiful monstrous groove he does (and he always plays some kind of cool groove) It never gets old.

This is so awesome to listen to. The feel, the timing, the complexity and yet he makes look simple. I really like how he subtlety switches up the groove during the outro of the song with an extra bass drum hit to match the music.

May his memory be blessed. Jeff was certainly a talented musician. The way he played those drums was perfection.

The balance when he goes to the ride at 3:25 - excellent. I mean it's all excellent I could listen to this all day. And those analog drums.

This song is one of my all time favorites that has continually haunted me. It's time to get over it and apply whatever it takes to get it. My drumming challenge that I want to overcome.

Just an incredible piece of drumming. That shuffle is legendary and Porcaro did an excellent job with his rendition of it.

I saw Jeff on January 31st, 1987 during the Fahrenheit tour with TOTO in Vienna. 95min 5 meters from Jeff - speechless.... His left hand not only on "Rosanna" but also on "Mama" and "Could this be love" which he played totally different compared to the studio track left a lot of drummers "enlighted" meaning it can't get any better....unbelievable. He was positioned at the right front on stage sideways so anybody could see his left hand perfectly. It changed my life and still does.....95 min of my life.....I have seen any TOTO show in Austria since 1987 but 1987 was really special...Thank you Jeff!
