Sting - Shape Of My Heart - drum cover by Steve Tocco

Here's another song from the great album by Sting, Ten Summoner's Tales. There's not much to see or hear from a drum perspective...it's as straight as it gets. I just love playing along with the song. Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=70581686

When the music started I knew I would have a good time watching this

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Well, I had a good time reading your comment! Thank you!!

[@DanielDurandDebuterLaBasse]

Very good cover. No demonstration. This is a drummer.

[@marcpaget6265]

Algo que se ve tan sencillo lleva un grado de complejidad muy bueno...que buen baterista...

[@darraghboyle4928]

Absolutely amazing brother I'm all over your channel ❤🎉

[@dimouhamelin]

Thank you so much ! I played it on my guitar with you and I really enjoyed it !

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you for jamming with me!!!!

[@Stayer1997]

Thanks for uploading it! You feel the song...

[@ishi-hrdrums]

The beautiful tone of the hi-hat led the groove and it sounded very comfortable. I recently practiced a cover of this song and found it very difficult.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!! Look into the Moeller Method to play fast 16th notes...it makes groove like this amazingly relaxed and easy.

[@stylianosberikos5291]

Bravo my friend!!!!!I am very excited when I am watching your videos.Your have accurate time without overplaying.I love this hi hat ....Please tell me which exactly model of K is?Thank you!!!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!! The hi-hats in this video are 13.5" Zildjian KZ. I bought them back in the 1990's when I was fixated on Dave Weckl. He was promoting these at the time.

[@gulomjonusmanov3230]

Fantastic🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@shaunrathbun6649]

Im just curious what the feet are doing..I see them moving but I don't see a kick or the hihat moving

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

My left foot (on the hi hat pedal) is moving because of a bad habit. I tend to bounce my left foot in tempo but I'm not moving the hi hat cymbals at all. It's kind of waste of energy. My right foot is hitting the kick drum on beats 1 & 3 throughout the song.

[@mimimokokoko4329]

That is 16th one handed right main grove?

[@Jetty-xd9yc]

Well done 👍 Do you have your kick down in the mix?

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you! The kick isn't mixed any lower than normal. I'm just not hitting it as hard.

[@hassanmessouk6203]

Very Nice ..ohhhhhhhhhh thanks you Hassan From morocco

[@AlecNsk]

Great! Judging by the movement of the right leg, you are using the bass drum in this cover, right?

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Yes, I am playing the bass drum part on this song. Because it's such a soft song, I am playing with my foot flat on the pedal, as opposed to my usual method of playing with the heel up. That's why you don't see my knee moving. Thank you!!!

[@ivanolmedo.1]

Excelent!!! Thanks for.this!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!!

[@chaiimixish3152]

Hi ! Just a question... Is it hard to play for a beginner ? (I find your game at the right hand really impressive)

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

A beginner might have some difficulty with this song because of the right-hand 16th notes. It's best to study and apply the Moeller Method technique, which makes grooves like this much easier to play. Just search for "Moeller Method" on KZbin. A ton of video lessons will pop up. The other thing to concentrate on is solid, consistent feel, timing and dynamics. In short, it's harder that it appears (for a beginner).

멋지다 so cool

[@dateplayd8403]

podemos grabar un video a distancia de ese tema con otros musicos??

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Sí, utilice este video como desee. ¡Gracias!

[@winho4145]

Cool

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!

[@zakariasadaq5052]

What rtyhem dose the hihat have?

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

16th notes with a slight accent on the quarter notes.

[@serkanayaz3366]

Where can I find the drum tone original shape of my heart ?

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

+Serkan Serkan I'm not sure what you mean. This song is from the album by Sting called Ten Summoner's Tales. I'm just playing along with the original song from the album.

[@AlecNsk]

As far as I can understand, Serkan Ayaz asked whether you have a recording of the drum track that you played, in the MP3 format. Just drums, without any other instruments.

[@juanfranciscoalonso4025]

Steve, a palabras necias, oídos sordos.... aunque si lo escuchas detenidamente, es verdad que el bombo no suena siempre. Fijate que en los silencios de la voz, o cuando dentro de la estrofa cambia el sentido de la frase, no le pega al bombo.- Siempre se puede mejorar! La técnica del hihat me gusta, ojala pudiera llevarlo así de parejo sin caer el tempo ni lesionarme (asumo que es cuestión de práctica).- Si es la primera vez que lo tocás, es una gran versión! Keep it going!!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

¡gracias!

[@sunisout]

You are my dream man.
