I studied private lessons with Joe in the late 70's when I first came to town. He said "you already have too many chops" do you want to work in the studios or go on the road in a bus? I said, I want to do studio work. He said OK then, forget all that crap were starting over :) As it turned out, a few years later, he was the percussionist on my first TV session and that made me relax and do a good job. I owe a lot to Joe Porcaro.

You do realize that makes perfect sense right? you can't teach yourself what you don't already know, plus you might not even know what you dont know...... I took lessons from a guy who had been a drummer for 45 years,probably one of the greatest drummers that no one's ever heard of, he played everything from the Ed Sullivan show to cruise ships to Disneyland and everything in between, guy had played drums in just about every musical situation imaginable......and that's who you need to learn from somebody with real world experience that's applied their craft in multiple different disciplines. I feel like a lot of these drum lesson teachers around nowadays know how to play the drums but never actually applied it to any kind of real world situation, clearly the pocaros are the right kind of teachers.

Technique, listening to the other musicians, practice, thinking about complimenting the singer, no ego, no desire to overpower the rest of the band, no showing off with solos, just doing his absolute best to make the song great. So creative. We lost this nice man way too soon almost 30 years ago. You've heard his playing on hundreds of songs by various artists and never even knew it. A true master.

I remember learning this shuffle before KZbin and these videos were ever available anywhere I did this by listening to my dad’s Toto album and playing to it on my Cd ghetto blaster wondering who this guy was this amazing drummer? And by the time I watched an episode on tv His wife was explaining how he had passed on some tv show and I thought, bummer! No one knew who I was talking about when I mention his name. Now if you are a drummer no matter what age you are people know who this legendary drummer is thanks to KZbin and people sharing this. Great lessons all of them Jeff is one of my all time favourite drummers! Rosanna was bloody Epic and it is one of my go to beats to play every time I play drums.

Music is the most favorite thing in my entire life and have been told I have a great singing voice. However, I am completely clueless when it comes to understanding musical notes even though one of my guitar playing friends says it is all about counting to four. Of all instruments I figured drums were the easiest because I can keep a beat but, after seeing this I might have to settle for bongos, LOL. Both Jeff and his father Joe make it look so easy. Unbelievable how they an break it down so much and say "It goes something like this" when they really mean it does go like this.

This was not just by accident because of taking some food from an italian restaurant as some people wrote in the comments. Actually I saw lots of interviews with him and he always looks stoned. And regard his paintings published in the booklet of the live-record "Los Lobotomys". Skeletons! Why did he paint this? May be he knew, that he didn't have much time left. Also the whole athmosphere of Kingdom seems quite related to death. The guys knew they were on a dangerous path (Jeff was not the only one). Also the performance of "Jake to the Bone" in Montreux 1991, when they had to finish the song before the end because of his wrists ... the wings of time ... makes me sad to watch although he plays phantastic.
