As a drummer and a jeff fan i really don't understand how anyone can criticize this. This guy is putting a spin on a great groove to make it his own, which he has mastered. If Jeff Pocaro had not put his own spin on the Purdy shuffle, then there would be no Rosanna shuffle. Reinventing great grooves is how new ones are created.
You said exactly what I've been trying to articulate. This dude is just giving us drummers some ear treat and all good muso's can separate flaring up on UA-cam to grooving on a record and always knowing when to do so.
There are 1000s of rosanna drum covers ... this is my favourite ... cool ... laid back ... dynamic ... and a lot of remarkable new creative highlights ... yes ... like an surprisingly fresh update ... love it!
It’s incredibly refreshing to see a drummer play such a classic groove but feel comfortable enough to put their own touch on it and not play it exactly as Jeff did, hit for hit. Well done buddy. This is awesome.
@@theaterdreamer. Of course if can. He's just adding to it. You can hear that he's grooving just like Jeff. He's adding to it because it's not a studio track. Jeff was always smart to keep simple and not over play hence why he was hired so much. Of course this guy could just sit back and play it like Jeff did but he's just adding some flare!
If you want to hear the exact porcaro version then go listen to the record. This dude does an amazing job at injecting the part with his own style and chops
After reading some of the comments on here prompted me to chime on this young man's performance. Everything he added to the song was amazingly tasteful. His groove was infectious. Pocket for days. The sound of his drums was on point. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As I stated earlier this young man is smoking. I believe most who gave somewhat of a negative comment probably couldn't carry this young man's stick bag. lol!!
Its like listen to Vinni C playing it. Amazing. The groove is obviously there but this is UA-cam and he's throwing in some real tasty tech that he wouldn't do on a studio album.
@@briangilbert5595. You said exactly what I've tried to say in about 5 comments on this video. 👍 You just articulated and mailed the point much better and I couldn't agree with you more. He's clearly a fantastic drummer and can hold a solid groove. Any good musician knows when to be busy and when not. This is UA-cam. As drummers it's exciting to hear people flare up but they know there not going to do that on a record as they are playing for the song. This guy is playing for drummers and showcasing his skills. What drummer would ever do a clinic for drummers and just groove a shuffle. No, groove is for the song. A+ to this guy as it's like a clinic and he has skills that could only take years of practice to get tight. His fill leading into the keyboard solo is just fantastic and something you would hear from the likes of Weckl, Chambers or Vinni. Love this vid!
@@colinsburghlibrary2632. Yeah it's just so fun to listen to and how clean if plays on each 3rd of every other triplet on the bell. His hat playing with the splashes is real "Carter Beauford" style I think. I'm primarily a bass player but for me there's nothing more exiting than listening to a drummer flare up.
I’ve heard a LOT of versions of the Rosanna shuffle... One thing that caught my eye... THIS GUY DID A F***ing POLYRYTHMIC PATERN incorporated with the Rosanna Shuffle on the first instrumental!! It’s not the Rosanna shuffle... Its the POLYRYTHMIC shuffle! AMAZING!
Totally true. And easily the best version of Rosanna on UA-cam even if didn't flare up wits fills. He is world class. Most drummers could not play what this guy is playing.
Disagree. I enjoyed this less, because of the extra notes. This song has established parts, and my brain struggled to enjoy the song because it wasn't hearing them.
@@ryancox5097 Yeah, there's an element that too I think. We're so used to Jeff just being and absolute "groove king" that it's unusual to hear. For me, 'real exiting, love how he's just flaring up for the sake of it. Any good musician certainly knows not to bring it into the studio unless you're Carter Beauford (completely different style of music though)
A good musician has to be mature .I used to get told "I was a great bass player" all the time as a teenager. If I listen anything I played on in the late 90's I almost cringe at how much I over played. I played disco/funk/slap in nearly everything and it was cool to hear as a bass player. As I got into my 20's I got less and less busy but with the same and more tech ability. I just matured. Listen to my cover of ("Ryan Adams, let it ride, Brian Wolohan) I'm playing so little that I'm just playing one note on each downbeat of the bar but I'm playing for the song. I'm not showcasing my playing. I'm showcasing the song. That maturity took me a few years to get to and I'm sure you guys would have similar experiences. This Rosanna vid is great and I'm sure he is mature and knows he's showing his skills which are brilliant.
This is just unreal. That pocket is dead on, fills are otherworldly, the whole thing is just so crisp and clean. He brought this song to LIFE, but kept the overall groove and feel. Incredible!
Bro, I've listened to HUNDREDS of Rosanna covers, I'm a big fan of Jeff Porcaro, and this one blows all others away!!! Absolutely OUTSTANDING job! I have to believe even Jeff himself would truly appreciate it!!!
Omg!! The best 6 mins & 3 seconds on UA-cam I ever saw. Sublime, class, talent, effortlessly awesome. Dude has a finesse and speed which is jaw dropping. Well done man!! Cool drum room.
This cat just took one of the greatest grooves ever and absolutely SLAYED IT!! Love the personality you gave it! The technicality you displayed was epic level!! Brilliant!!
Amazing. took an incredibly difficult drum groove and added some extra spice to it. Extremely sharp, articulated and dynamic. If I thought i was never going to learn to play this groove properly, I think after watching this I wont even bother trying anymore. In My humble opinion, he just took the standard and kicked it up the street. For those who don't approve of this cover, see it for what it is.... someones interpretation of a classic with their own flair added. It should be respected and appreciated as such.
Absolutely one of my favorite drum covers. This kid is a pro and his extra touches are ridiculously tasteful and just out of this world. Technically perfect but lots of heart and soul on display here.
What this guy added to an already "perfect" drum groove was incredible. Most would think that you DO NOT change anything about such a groove as the Rosanna Shuffle, but when it's done with such good taste, it's all good in my book!! You can simply add fills to songs and it just doesn't work...This flat out works!! Excellent!!
Maaaan! That is absolutely a masterpiece performance. So much addition to the original. Polyrhytms, additional fills, general feel and groove. Jeff Porcaro will always be the God Father because he was the first one. But YT don't stop to surprise me revealing so many talented individuals out there. And You Sir are one of those ultra talent. Hats off to You!
Dude, your passion is infectious! Coming up through the ranks, many of us have learned or had to learn this groove at one time but the fact that you weren't afraid to embellish on an already signature groove is admirable. Very well done pal!
The ghost notes with the shuffle on the ride. Pretty clean. That ride sounds absolutely amazing!! Love how you’ve improvised your own way on the ghost notes which makes it very unique and it doesn’t lose its original taste.
I've watched alot of drum covers of Rosanna but nothing comes close to this. Everything about what this guy added to this song was just freaking awesome and had class written all over it. New fan of this guy. I hope he has other videos.
Já vi vários outros covers de bateria tocando essa música, porém a sua performance é a minha preferida e o som dessa bateria pra mim tá com uma equalização ótima. Parabéns!!!
This guy just went HAM!!! drummers should all aspire to be like this… good enough to play in the style and include every part but also the ability to be creative whilst keeping the genre and style in check…. Great. Wish I could play like this
Anyone who knows about drumming, and not just running their mouth, can tell this young man has the groove, and the reason why the song is loved down. His approach is very cool. Great job!
The first few seconds is like: Nah, kit way to up tight and such, close your hi-hat and what not....but then, eh wait a minute, I´m in awe! this is a freaking masterpiece!
I’ve seen a bunch of drum covers for Rosanna over the years so far this is the best why? Because this dude is playing his own take on this classic most drummers that cover it try to stay true to Jeff pacoro’s version of it but I like that he made this his take on this, jimmy your a great drummer
Semi pro drummer here. This is a wonderful interpretaton of the Rosanna groove. This groove is hard enough to master as it is never mind all the transitions between morphing in and out of the original shuffle and the poly-rhythms a little later on. But all the while never losing sight of where the time is and that all important bo diddley kick drum. Ive not even gotten to the ghost notes yet .... absolutely wonderful stuff. Well done young man .... a pleasure watching you play 👌👌.
Literally the Best cover of this Song on UA-cam😍. The tone, the talent, the skills, Just too Amazing man💯. I just watch this everyday its just too soothing mahn🤤. The song Sounds even better in this Cover. This song Needs a Million views and he need atleast a 100k subs🔥. This guy is a pure talent and is the best💯. He inspires me soo much🤩🔥
This absolutely incredible. This man will have no trouble finding studio gigs. I've heard so MANY DRUMMERS. None can do this. Most drummers want to be flashy and stuff, like we all do, but this tight sound says it all
This cover isn't by a novice trying to demonstrate a feeble attempt to emulate. Once you get past that minor point, you'll be able to see the artistry and his youthful enthusiasm in his interpretation. Porcaro would no doubt be smiling at this homage.
I agree, though I wouldn't say 'little' - I'd say 'little too'. It's not fitting, nor appropriate playing. Yes, it's his style, but not mine. Personally, also, I don't like the snare sound, nor the almost 'glassy' sound of those cymbals.
You my friend have CHOPS ! Absolutely loved your spin on this classic! Your fills were so tasteful , I didn’t want it to end ! Your snare sound is incredible! Thanks for an awesome video! Rich
Amazing drumming man👍 you did just make you’re own hybrid shuffle groove of this track. Not trying to be Jeff but just yourself! Me as a drummer too can respect that, very nice👍
If I want to hear this song played like Jeff P , I'd listen to the original with Jeff P. If I wanted to see someone put their own spin on it and kill it! I'd watch this guy. Great Job!
Well done bro! There’s a lot going on in this track and you made it look easy, you killed it. Can you tell me what Tama kit this is? It recorded really well! Keep rocking!

It’s incredibly refreshing to see a drummer play such a classic groove but feel comfortable enough to put their own touch on it and not play it exactly as Jeff did, hit for hit.
Well done buddy. This is awesome.
Rossy_P maybe he can’t play it the way Jeff did, hit for hit. There’s a reason why so many have tried, and failed.
Exactly how I thought of it. He help down the Jeff Groove perfectly and through in some real tasty tech stuff!
@@theaterdreamer. Of course if can. He's just adding to it. You can hear that he's grooving just like Jeff. He's adding to it because it's not a studio track.

Exactly. We can hear that he can groove like Jeff but he's just adding some lovely tech in the internet age.

Obrigado por postar isso.
Wow. Wow you are very good wow again
The maturity in this drum cover is incredible..keep it up!!
He’s keeping the “bo diddley” kick pattern, which is important, so his soloing overtop is great. I love his interpretation.
I love how you added your own flair to the song while still paying homage to the original. Freaken awesome brother, loved it!
I literally can only ever dream of a snare that sounds that good
I cant even dream of the sound
Note my favourite sound but i still find it good.
It's how you hit it
Best part is it's a not too expensive swingstar snare. You should be able to hunt one down for less than $100!

hey love that snare drum sound. thats the center piece
That's funny, different tastes, one of the ugliest sounding snares I've heard, especially for this song.
@@sectionq1 im with you .too poppy for me. Otherwise like the rest
Snare tuned up its about to explode. Its unique. Drummer has Nice touch though.
Best cover I would say. He has not missed any place. Well done man..
A little busy but nice groove. This song is as much about what Jeff Porcaro didn't play as much as he did.
Almost busyness
This cover isn't by a novice trying to demonstrate a feeble attempt to emulate. Once you get past that minor point, you'll be able to see the artistry and his youthful enthusiasm in his interpretation. Porcaro would no doubt be smiling at this homage.
I agree, though I wouldn't say 'little' - I'd say 'little too'. It's not fitting, nor appropriate playing. Yes, it's his style, but not mine. Personally, also, I don't like the snare sound, nor the almost 'glassy' sound of those cymbals.

Absolutely loved your spin on this classic!
Your fills were so tasteful , I didn’t want it to end !
Your snare sound is incredible!
Thanks for an awesome video!

the "nay sayers" are the people that can't play the shuffle to begin with!!! Make it your own dude... and have fun... great job...
Love the light hand. Nice job at capturing the essence of the groove while adding some really nice touches.
Effortless adlibs and just so on point. You are the man!
I mean...Porcaro is in Heaven proudly clapping each and every time someone plays this very video.
What a masterpiece.
Just realized I never commented on this one. Some things are just too good to stay quiet!
