I would like to point out that one of the underrated aspects that makes this performance so great is the way he modulates the density of the ghost notes on the snare throughout the song. Most drummers with enough technique and independence to play this come out all guns blazing with the ghost notes on the snare and fill up every available space. Michel Alba starts out playing barely any ghost notes, then increasing and pulling back again, just like Jeff did on the original recording. Truly an awesome cover that shows a deep understanding of the song.
I've seen so many covers of this groove, and this is by far the best one. He really captures all of the subtle nuances that make the groove so satisfying to listen to. Incredible.
Very well done great ghost notes and reading from a chart. There are thousands of covers on youtube and 99 percent are flashy look at me's not cutting it but you're laying it down as it should be, I loved it.
Great pocket and feel, and he gets the subtle ebbing and flowing of the shuffle just right. Most people play it too robotically. Spot-on cover. Give this guy a bigger kit and better crashes.
Perfect example of capturing the spirit of the late great Mr Porcaro but still being himself! Most players try to play like Mr Porcaro and that's impossible. We all have our own feel. Great job!
As hard as this shuffle is to play at that tempo, the perfect placement of the kick drum is the magic of this groove, and what would send it all to hell if it weren’t spot on the money. I haven’t played around with this song in a long time....this gave me the inspiration to revisit it. Great job.
drummer of Toto created it as not to get tired out of a semi shuffle that made a simple pop song GREAT. if that is their teacher boy they got a super drummer teacher
When it comes to this song, there are 3 drummers that would always come to my mind (aside from Jeff Porcaro, of course): Gregg Bissonette, Simon Philips, and Michael Alba
Years and years scouring the internet and here it is. The most perfect rosanna drum cover ladies and gents.
Home run. Absolutely nailed it.
Agreed 👍

The rosanna drum cover by 10 year old yoyoka is much better than this one. Not even close.
@@JnoPrds are you serious?
Sinas I very good

You nailed it! That is exactly the kind of control a drummer needs to really get the groove of this song and he played it beautifully!
cept his left foot was lacking biggly
Definitely.

Would be nice if you also check my version: ua-cam.com/video/KoADb7Phd3k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JanIlarionMelnikJanIlarionMelnik :-)
You’re right Jan, you are killing on your version!!!
@@kotoruser1 checked yours too! Amazing playing!! I have been following Jeff porcaro for such a long time!
@@kotoruser1 Wow that was incredible!
@Mart on Drums there isn’t supposed to be any ghost notes in the intro, litsen when the song starts instead
This genuinely the best cover I’ve ever seen of this song - just perfect. Timing, feel, PERFECT GHOST NOTES 😮 *chefs kiss
Never realized the complexity of the drums on this song! Pretty sick!
Oh, man. It’s just a difficult beat at a difficult speed. You must be in the zone completely.
This is one of those beats that separates the men from the boys when learning drums. Its a right of passage
This man really captured Jeff Pacarro's drumming to a tee. Jeff's drumming was always clean and tight!
*Jeff
And yeah this was incredibly close to Jeff’s mastery
Clean. Tight. Completely in control. Respect and salute.
Man this song is so huge. It’s so simple in structure but all the little things in it create such an enormous amount of texture
As a fan of Toto for many years i must say he nailed it!
Being a fan doesn't makes your judgement any more valid.
@@Frontdesk99 It does.
@@thomashvnmusic Keep telling yourself that buddy. Doesn't make it true, but if it makes you happy, be my guest.
@@Frontdesk99 I will.
Spot on ! Best Ive heard , all the neuances and feel of the original and in the pocket like Jeff
👍
The smiling girl is inspiring ... 🤣🙏👍
@@ronnielim4779 True. :)
I’m a full time drum teacher and drum school owner and I teach this on a weekly basis, can’t ask for any better than that. Great job. Aly
You can ask for the ghost notes lol.
They were there. The groove doesn't have ghost notes in the first verse@@xsbutter
@@xsbutter he played it exactly how Porcaro did on the record. There's less ghosting than people think.
@@xsbutter I think you better get lessons from this dude to know what ghost note is.
@@xsbutter👻👻👻 ghost is laughing they were in second part

The kick drum is so locked in, amazing drumming
Anos se passam e esse continua o melhor Drum Cover de Rosanna do UA-cam.
Best cover of this I’ve heard/seen. Seems a lot of folks don’t quite get those ghost notes to sit right, but these do.
Some of the smoothest and most subtle ghost notes you will ever see. Really nice !
The power, accuracy, feel and the passion!! Except for that K crash sound..
Offcourse Korean is best they have K perfect
Yeah, I’m really not feeling that crash at all, but the groove is very tight!
Yeah it sounds like a trashcan lid
That K crash sounded fine to me 👍🏽👍🏽
Meinl all the way. I hate custom Ks.
The Máster Jeff Porcaro estaría orgulloso de ti por tocar esta súper canción de este modo.
Felicidades.
Subtle & details, the best rosanna drum cover i have seen.
One of most genius beat ever , how I love this crazy shuffle
FANTASTIC COVER MICHAEL !!!!!! IT'S VERY GOOD JOB !!!!! GREAT GREAT GREAT !!!! GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL
This is the best cover. Nailed it. Love the stops and real hang back before coming back in. Nicely done.
He's got that porcarro shuffle down perfect. Love it
those ghost notes so smooth it looks he is not even playing them
Lol thats the point of ghost notes
YES DA BACK TRAK IS PLAYING 🥰
@@quinnmitchel4075 He was being sarcastic.
@@KyleDavisMusic Ik im just stating. And i said lol, lol
Vi todo el vídeo, esbozando una sonrisa porque da muchísimo placer verte tocar!!! Ejecutaste excelente la canción ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beyond excellent work

Absolutely agree. If the kick is off on any groove, don't even bother!
@@vaughanxaviermusic the kick in this song is placed exactly where it needs to be as well, so easy to tap along to 😁
And the way this cat grooves to Jeff's Beat......love how he knows to pull back the BPM on the pre chorus section where a lot of ppl rush it. Superb.
goddamn, mike alba's control is out of this world
Awesome! Such an amazing groove! Well done.
That was incredible. So locked in and in the pocket. Don’t know why there is 28 dislikes.
28 dislikes are from ENVY 😆
A much clearer vid! Thanks so much for sharing this! ❤️
What a groove. Brilliant cover.
No mistakes, wow, spot on!! Great skills
Excellent. And, gotta love the Dennis Chamber's creation, "Crash of Doom" as your ride. Live that cymbal!
Absolutely a perfect job great work
