Rosanna [Drum Cover] by Michael Alba (Dubai Drum Masterclass 2 )

#MichaelAlba #Rosanna #toto #drums #masterclass

[@AndreasMSchroeder]

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.

[@thisusedtobemyrealname7876]

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!

[@roberthahn5235]

[@MrBuckWoody126]

Definitely.

[@climbjay]

Years and years scouring the internet and here it is. The most perfect rosanna drum cover ladies and gents. Home run. Absolutely nailed it.

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.

@Mart on Drums there isn’t supposed to be any ghost notes in the intro, litsen when the song starts instead

[@alydude2011]

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

[@xsbutter]

You can ask for the ghost notes lol.

[@oldmate86]

They were there. The groove doesn't have ghost notes in the first verse@@xsbutter

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

@@xsbutter he played it exactly how Porcaro did on the record. There's less ghosting than people think.

[@ginostrings]

@@xsbutter I think you better get lessons from this dude to know what ghost note is.

Never realized the complexity of the drums on this song! Pretty sick!

[@bradmacarthur3810]

Oh, man. It’s just a difficult beat at a difficult speed. You must be in the zone completely.

[@jjmarcos]

This is one of those beats that separates the men from the boys when learning drums. Its a right of passage

[@thomashvnmusic]

As a fan of Toto for many years i must say he nailed it!

This genuinely the best cover I’ve ever seen of this song - just perfect. Timing, feel, PERFECT GHOST NOTES 😮 *chefs kiss

[@NVRAMboi]

Clean. Tight. Completely in control. Respect and salute.

[@peterbigblock]

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.

[@fishingnotcatching9622]

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.

[@iBaraban]

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

[@androbyn]

The kick drum is so locked in, amazing drumming

[@JS-hu7pv]

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.

[@randyporter3491]

Some of the smoothest and most subtle ghost notes you will ever see. Really nice !

[@JoeMicroscope]

Nice intensity and groove. I like hearing an accurate transcription that still feels natural. 10/10 brother!

[@Utcheeow]

Ghost notes masterclass, that's how Jeff would love to hear it! Well done ❤

[@KaioMeneses]

Anos se passam e esse continua o melhor Drum Cover de Rosanna do KZbin.

[@traviswoodall6547]

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.

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

Absolutely agree. If the kick is off on any groove, don't even bother!

[@ethanwasme4307]

@@vaughanxaviermusic the kick in this song is placed exactly where it needs to be as well, so easy to tap along to 😁

Ghost notes on snare ..😮 mindblowing....totaly jeff porcaro thing..... nice😊... and 16ths on the hi hat... perfect man!...and toms roll also... what not😂❤

When it comes to this song, there are 3 drummers that would always come to my mind (aside from Jeff Porcaro, of course): Gregg Bissonette, Simon Philips, and Michael Alba

Art Blakey too

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

[@Zionist_Eternal]

Excellent. And, gotta love the Dennis Chamber's creation, "Crash of Doom" as your ride. Live that cymbal!

[@marcellemay7721]

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 KZbin version of this groove on youtube. When Jeff played live, he'd change the fills up a bit.

[@peevee605]

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.

[@jordanpounds4060]

That was incredible. So locked in and in the pocket. Don’t know why there is 28 dislikes.

So much control, pocket, maturity, technique. There’s a lot of young drummers out there that don’t understand that this is an actual example of what real drumming is. Self-taught drumming only gets you so far. This is what drumming sounds like with traditional training.

[@seb4376]

I would like to wholly disagree with your opinion on self taught drumming. Some of the greatest drummers ever are self taught. At the end of the day, lessons are just a tool to improve, like all of the other tools people use to improve.
