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.
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.
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.
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.
Ghost notes on snare ..😮 mindblowing....totaly jeff porcaro thing..... nice😊... and 16ths on the hi hat... perfect man!...and toms roll also... what not😂❤
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
I've played this groove before,...it's not easy. It took me hours of practice to get smooth with it. There's a kind of swing lope to it that jeff does, but once I got comfortable with it, it's just fun to play. I haven't played drums in 7 yrs. But this is one of those grooves that I played a lot that I think it wouldn't take me long to get back on it. This is probably the best UA-cam version of this groove on youtube. When Jeff played live, he'd change the fills up a bit.
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!
This gentleman and Mike Barnes an instructor from the U.K. have done a great job on this. They are all pro instructors for sure. I am putting in a lot of time to get this song down right on the drums.

He's got that porcarro shuffle down perfect. Love it

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

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!
Definitely.
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 👍
Concur
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
Clean. Tight. Completely in control. Respect and salute.
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
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
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.
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
Anos se passam e esse continua o melhor Drum Cover de Rosanna do UA-cam.
This is the best cover. Nailed it. Love the stops and real hang back before coming back in. Nicely done.
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. :)
The kick drum is so locked in, amazing drumming
Nice intensity and groove. I like hearing an accurate transcription that still feels natural. 10/10 brother!
Subtle & details, the best rosanna drum cover i have seen.
Some of the smoothest and most subtle ghost notes you will ever see. Really nice !
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.
Beyond excellent work
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.
mantap shuffle 👍👍👍
FANTASTIC COVER MICHAEL !!!!!! IT'S VERY GOOD JOB !!!!! GREAT GREAT GREAT !!!! GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL
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.
One of most genius beat ever , how I love this crazy shuffle
Learning this song now. Very hard to get the groove sounding this good. Props to this drummer. Well played.
Great playing! That's the way it is supossed to be played!
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.
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
This is a great cover. Well done.
Smooth, simple and on point. Nice job.
Best drum cover of rossana ever
I think this is one of the best Rosanna drum covers I've seen on UA-cam. Mabuhay kayo sir!
Ghost notes on snare ..😮 mindblowing....totaly jeff porcaro thing..... nice😊... and 16ths on the hi hat... perfect man!...and toms roll also... what not😂❤

Awesome! Such an amazing groove! Well done.
The Máster Jeff Porcaro estaría orgulloso de ti por tocar esta súper canción de este modo.
Felicidades.

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 😁

Perfect! The best drum cover of this Masterpiece if I ever heard,bravissimo.
Masterly covered 👍
Really smooth!
Nice job!👍
Fantastic job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of the top 10 best covers of ANY song ever. Clean, tight , perfect groove and exactly how it’s supposed to be.
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.
Good job! Awesome song...
What caught my attention is Michael is in the moment and grooving with the track.
This is the best cover I have heard of this tune. Well done!
This gentleman and Mike Barnes an instructor from the U.K. have done a great job on this. They are all pro instructors for sure.
I am putting in a lot of time to get this song down right on the drums.
