Whenever I fall in love and if it's not mutual I send them Sir John break up ballad haunting lyrics!

It’s amazing to watch you play the drugs to such a magical song thank you so much for the video. I’ve watched it several times now and probably will watch it several more.

[@arturodiazzurita8187]

I prefer to watch him play drums 😛

[@jeffpeters5297]

FANTASTIC JOB! Impressive sir.

[@jeffpeters5297]

Holy Cow, Steve! Perfect. Nigel would have to give you a thumbs up.

[@hisodesu1]

Love this Steve! Well done on this, and so many others, with great song choices!! ✌

[@djonesey5]

Steve: I bumped into your video by accident researching the song. This is an amazing cover. You have the timing of an atomic clock and the artistry/nuance to have truly captured the percussive essence of the song. This is an amazing job--bravo!!!

[@mobueh]

[@CWA61]

Outstanding

[@philipde]

Exceptional performance

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

All credit goes to Nigel Olsson, the original drummer on this song. Thank you nonetheless!!

[@dagnomer]

Absolutely amazing. What I would give to have the talent to have this ear and rhythm. I’d be broke and happy because I’d spend all day playing, but that would be okay too. Thanks for sharing brother, never forget that that is a gift from God.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you my KZbin friend. Playing the drums takes three things: desire, practice and time.

[@geegaw14]

Great job on the backing vocals.. : )

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

LOL!!! I actually love to sing backing vocals. I do a lot of backup harmonies in all the bands I play with.

[@walteriannaccone5374]

Great job. ❤️👍

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you. All credit goes to Elton John for writing a great song and Nigel Olsson for playing a great original drum part.

[@teresacallahan5701]

Beautiful drumming.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you! All credit goes to Nigel Olsson, the original drummer on this song.

[@Anything4adollar]

I've always been curious about the drumming on this track for years. How in the world did Nigel Olsson get that sort of slightly off kilter sound to his drums...reverb or something...?

[@homeone4054]

Definitely reverb...not sure which type or what else they did to the drums other than have very loose heads on them. Gus Dudgeon also apparently used a lot of mics on the drums

[@MC-ft8zv]

Just discovered your channel searching cover songs..wow you are good! Thank you so very much for allowing us inside this part of your life, and showing us just what is involved in drumming. You sound great and I look forward to looking at a whole lot of your videos. Thank You sir!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you for watching and leaving such a kind, supportive comment. I love to play drums and I love to highlight and share my favorite songs on my KZbin channel.

[@bigjohnthered1]

Enjoyed it so much !!!! Awesome drumming my friend

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!!

[@romanzzland]

This is great! Today I played this song for the first time on the drums and I did good! Can you release a version of this song without the drums so that way it’ll be easier to make a drum cover?

[@johnnyrotten8037]

Great. You have those flams down. That was excellent Steve.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

LOVE flams!!!! I'm always working on improving them. Thank you!!!

[@franciscowerlon]

[@sulaco799]

Te felicito. Además de tocar muy bien, tu interpretación es fiel a la canción. No agregas nada superfluo a la ejecución del instrumento, me gustó mucho. Saludos!!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

[@tented]

I always thought Elton John had a great rhythm section with Olsson & Murray, and your performance is a tribute to them and this great song.

good job !

[@21Shannara]

Hey Steve, can I get a mix of just the drums?

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

I wish I could send you a mix of just the drums but I record all my covers directly to my camera so the drums aren't separated. I'm sorry.

[@21Shannara]

It was worth a shot... During lock down we have been recording covers of our favorite records, tracking everything but having guest drummers on particular tunes. We love what you do and thought... Any way thanks for the quick response.

[@wernerausgelsenkirchen2505]

Bei den song habe ich mich enschlossen schlagzeug spielen ast rein!(I decided to play the drums for the song)

[@marceloesqueff5325]

....fantastic performance......drumless ?

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you! I am playing along with the original recording, not a drumless track.

[@Evaquiel]

DO you have your drum track alone of this for download? Hack, i'd pay for it.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

I record all my drum covers "live" to the camera so I don't have any isolated drum tracks. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

[@benapel1326]
