This is one of those drum covers that makes non-drummers like me (guitarist and bassist) just wanna move to drums and never go back lol, nice work dude, sounds flawless! Keep playin’
TREMENDOUS JOYFUL BEAUTIFUL EFFORT. It is impossible to be in a depressed state when watching you exuberantly playing this wonderful song. From your co.ments I can tell you are very grounded. You express both humility and excellence, which a terrific combination in a human being.

@@SteveToccoDrummer I have been playing drums since I was young, and I took lessons for years! I got a new, new to me, DW drum set. It's so beautiful! It's 7 pc. Pistachio Green sparkle!
@@SteveToccoDrummer I wanted to do some drum videos, more teaching than playing, but I don't know how to make a youtube video? I"m not sure if I should use my laptop or something else. Maybe one of these days....
Very nice job! You brought out some things that I didn't hear before and love that you don't overplay! So many drummers over play so much, throwing their own inappropriate triplets and fills, multiple cymbal crashes, etc. that while they may be a good drummer, makes them look like douche bags and totally ruins the song! You were spot on! I also like your Gino covers! Those are hard to do! I play a lot of Gino! Love Mark Craney (RIP)!
hi, i have 3 long questions in my mind , 1) can drummer hit close hit hat and crash cymbal at the same time ? 2) or they normally dont do that , since close hi hat can not be heard when hit together with crash cymbal ? 3) or It is impossible to do that ?
stylistically, when we go for a crash as an accent (on a downbeat or something), we do not hit the high hat/ride/whatever we were "grooving on" with it. But it's not impossible. Especially when I'm on the ride cymbal, I'll smash the crash but keep riding as well. the crash does cover up the ride (or closed high hat, or whatever), but you can hear the difference most of the time. It's subtle, but there.
Thank you, Kevin!!! Re: cymbals...I have all kinds. Some are very expensive, some are very inexpensive. In general, the adage is correct, "You get what you pay for." The inexpensive cymbals sound good but they tend to sound "tinny" and harsh. They also lack a full range of textures and tend to crack easier.
I really like the sound of that hi-hat
It's a 13/5" Zildjian KZ hi-hat.

Where would drummers be without guitarists and bassists???? We'd all be locked up for disturbing the peace and noise violations!!! LOL!!! Thanks!!!
この曲、大好きです。朝から、この曲を聞くと元気をもらえます！ドラムが大好き！娘が吹奏楽で、パーカッションを担当していたので、どうしても、リズム系に耳がいってしまう！今日も、元気を有難う！
Awesome
one of the best cover i've seen..
Emmanuel Mabana Thank you!!!

Clicks are overrated.

You are so right...it's a great song!!!
@@andrewferrara11 No but I do now ;)
Bad ass skills Steve! Couldn’t tell you from the original! That drum fill at 3:19 was spot on!! 👍👍
Thank you!!!
It wasn’t spot on, as the original didn’t contain all those drum fills, but the embellishments were your own nice personal touch.
September... I love
It's a great month and a great song!!
What a delight! Enjoying it as we speak!
Thank you!!! I'm glad you enjoyed my cover. ALL the credit goes to Earth Wind & Fire for writing such a great song.

You made me want to dance. Thanks. Also I wanted to know how to play it.
Yes Sir!!!
Very well done, Kept simple but accurate
Very nice indeed! Who's snare are you using? Great Job!
Thank you! It's a Yamaha 14 x 4 Birch snare.

Thank you for your kind supportive comment. Yes, Gino Vannelli is great and so was Mark Craney (rest in peace).
¡Fabuloso! Muy bien logrado Steve.

Can you please tell me what's your crash and snare?
My main crash in this video is a 16" Sabian Studio Crash. The other is an 18" Sabian Explosion Crash. The snare is a 14" x 4" Yamaha Birch.
Awesome!!

Another great one...thanks! What's your opinion on expensive vs inexpensive cymbals?

Really good stuff Mr. Tocco!
Nice!
I wish I played so well, I could break sticks!!!
Thank you! I've been playing drums for 40 years. When I think about it, I should be WAY better than this by now. The learning never stops.
