Rosanna - Toto (Drum Cover)

[@mazercortez7776]

I see drum covers of this song with more views, but I believe this is the best one I've watched so far.

[@edrumsense]

I still can't believe this is an acoustically recorded drum. The sound is amazing

[@TristanLangdon]

Lots of mics. He knows how to mic a kit up! It really does sound great!

[@N2112_CJ4]

Love the ghost notes!!!

[@rms8698]

Mikey... You answered my prayers. Outstanding bro. If you remember a month and a half or two months ago I asked you if you would do that for us. Then you did. You're the bomb Mike. Sincerely NOTHEAD NATION

[@rborroto]

You're an amazing drummer! You should have a million views on this song and others!! Thanks for sharing.

[@paulrogers885]

Fantastic job Mike. The kit sounds amazing. I see alot of Todd Sucherman in your style really a great job!

[@Daniel-vj6iy]

Well done Mike! I really now how hard it is to play Rosanna-shuffle, cause I’m a drummer on my own. It’s a few drummer in the whole world that they can play this as well like you, and with that sound! Well well well done Mike! Best regards my brother! 🤘🥁🎶

[@fireit7007]

Absolute perfection!!! Mike is percussion royalty!!!

[@James-kb8to]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you've added some extra things in there. So well done, it sounds like it always belonged there! Awesome!

Da ex batterista esecuzione perfetta .🥁🪘🥁🪘🥁🪘🥁🪘

[@daveh5508]

Another awesome video. Just curious, have you ever meet todd sucherman? I saw him do a clinic at guitar center in country club hills Illinois a couple years ago. I love my Metallica and lars Ulrich. But I have to say Todd sucherman is probably my favorite. Just love his style and drum sound and Technique . By the way, love the flurtas.

[@mikehetzel]

Thanks! And yes! I’ve met Todd a few times. One of my all-time favorites, too!!

[@philobetto1224]

Man you damm sure have that shuffle down pat.

[@anguse2068]

@MikeHetzel WOW!!!! 😵🤯👏👏👏👏 that is extraordinary! I have played the drums for about 35 years (sadly not at your level - more of what I’d call a very serious amateur). And Jeff has been my no.1 idol and inspiration for as long as I can remember. So of course I know how hard it is a to get the nuances and groove/flow of this song right. Not only do you do that but the fills you have added are so tasteful and cleanly executed - they just sound like very musical enhancements to the song. I’m sure some will rant on me for saying this but I actually prefer your interpretation to versions I have heard with Simon Philips who I also love and revere as a drummer but the style of your fills just fits this song better to my ears. On a more specific note I’d love to know the EXACT specification of your Masterworks kit (especially the shell sizes, thickness/plys/composition, edges and hoops). Could you please post it here? I have a Pearl Masters Maple Gum kit and I have been considering ordering a Masterworks kit and have a reasonably good idea of how I’d spec it but it is easy to get caught up in slight indecision with all the choices! Your kit here sounds absolutely superb and a carbon copy of the ideal drum sound I hear in my head. Of course that will also be down to your mic’ing and mixing skills not just the drums but that sound clearly starts with a great instrument. Keep up the great work and consider me a BIG fan! (PS: loved the Africa cover too). 👍👍

[@camilanebula1328]

Nice shuffles

[@dantheman669]

Just the main groove is a lot more complex than I thought. The ghost notes really add another layer to it!

[@connorritchie973]

RIP Jeff Porcoro he was a great drummer and did a excellent job at playing the drums for Toto. He was replaced by Simon Phillips who is another famous drummer.

[@RyanUybengkee]

what drums are you using? they sound great

[@mikehetzel]

Thanks! It’s a custom Pearl Masterworks, maple/mahogany blend, and a 14x6.5 Pearl Sensitone Brass Snare

[@Son-ke9fp]

Mike, you pretty much drummed the song the way Jeff originally recorded it, but I noticed you threw in some of your own chops on occasion. Your grooves, fill-ins and chops were executed flawlessly......as usual. Once again, great job! 👍

[@mikehetzel]

Thanks! I stole a lot from Simon, too! 😂🤘

[@Son-ke9fp]

@@mikehetzel Oh okay. I haven't listened closely to any of the Rosanna recordings done by Mr. Phillips, so I thought some of the fills you did were your own. Rock on!

[@jlin4406]

This is sounds like Simon Phillips style

[@joebusdriver]

I think it reflects Jeff's soul of the song plus Simon's live improvisation. Outstanding cover.

[@sushiroll9210]

Yeah, I think so too

[@emirohi]

very nice

[@jacopomacchi6926]

You look like Simon Phillips

[@131601]

Like a timex on steroids. !

[@wllprkr]

HETZ

[@jpvarth]

super batteur

[@drummersinger5324]

Way too brutal and not in the pocket like Porcaro at all! Rushed and nervous . Not groovy

[@joestocker660]

Awesome! 👍😃

[@bryanblackburn7074]

Awesome!
