They sound great. You used the proper heads. You went all out with the huge hole on the bass drum.

[@sethcashman1011]

Not only is this great in terms of sound accuracy, but the shuffle is played to a T.

That was fun to play, and fun to mix!!

very cool and great playing

@@ChrisHoffmannTube thanks Chris :)

[@rubenromijndrummer]

You nailed the finesse! Timing this thing is sooo difficult! When you play along to the drumless isolated tracks you can hear how much Jeff manipulated the time in order to get a great feel. He was a magician.

[@pascal_thielen]

@@rubenromijndrummer thanks! He absolutely was...

[@RolfHering]

Nailed it!

[@rs52594]

I found this from a Blogspot on Jeff Porcaro: "On Toto IV, his drum sizes used to record were 10", 12", and 13" rack toms of standard depth, 16" and 18" floor toms, and a 22 X 16 bass drum. He also used a 6 1/2 X 14 Radio King snare drum. The cymbals were all Paistes, and included a 20" Formula 602 ride, 18", 19" and 20" 2002 crashes, a 16" Formula 602 crash, and 14" Formula 602 hi-hats."

[@loO5r]

Guys this is really amazing! I love how you put emphasize on the heads, tuning, muffling and especially how they sound without all the fancy effects. This is truely inspiring 👏👏

[@rodrigoguzmanleroy4915]

equal tone...even in cymbals; Porcaro was an Paiste 2002 drummer. Nice video

[@adrianlyord5300]

Exactly right he didn't use Zildjian !Sounds awesome though!

[@Theratron]

@@adrianlyord5300 It’s pretty well documented that even though Jeff had Pearl and Paiste endorsements, in the studio he used a Gretsch USA custom, and the hi-hat he used was a classic 14” K Zildjian.

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Totally right!

[@rodrigoguzmanleroy4915]

[@mladenpalenkas7750]

On the some video spots Porcaro used Zildjians (Stop Lovin' You, Pamela).

Great video! Porcaro used this drum set when recording Rossana: Yamaha Recording 9000 10x8-12x8-13x10-16x14-18x14-20x14 Yamaha Metal SD-965 MA Snare Drum Paiste 2002 Cymbals: -14" Heavy Hi Hats -19" Crash -21" Crash -22" Ride -19" Crash -20" China Type

[@lukeabrahamsen-collins808]

Huh! Where did you get this info? I'm very curious

[@TonyJBrennan]

Doubt it , he was known to use Gretcsh drums in studio

[@janekolszak6761]

@@TonyJBrennan Yeah, he used gretsch in the studio that's true, however on the back of this album you can clearly see him playing Yamaha drums in the studio. He used Yamaha on three albums (I think). It was Hydra, Turn Back and Toto IV

[@TonyJBrennan]

@@janekolszak6761 photo means nothing , he was a pearl endorsor , but all info indicates he used G's in studio, in any case Rosana sounds like G not a yammie , far to dark a tone to be a yammie RC. and the kick sound is def not a 20 inch , likely a 22 or more likely a 24

[@janekolszak6761]

@@TonyJBrennan All of the things your saying are true. I might be wrong about the size, it could be 22" however I'm 100% sure he used an actual RC set on this record. He made a deal with pearl right after recording the Toto IV album. That's why I'm talking about the photos, cause on the back you can see a Yamaha kit that he plays. That's also why it says 'Jeff Porcaro's equipment speaks for itself' 🤣

[@jonnychrist69]

Omg I love the sound of these toms.. even with all the muffling they have a clear note and tone.. beautiful sound.. the Percy shuffle is flawless too.. lots of practice went into this piece!

What a well organized well thought out presentation. You have shown you have a real passion for the subject matter. Very knowledgeable and impressive. Cheers.

[@ArtOfDrumming]

🙏

[@vwdiver512]

Really nailed the sound, but more importantly, those ghost notes on the snare. I've seen so many drummers on KZbin supposedly "teaching" this feel as a paradiddlediddle between the hi hat and snare, and they don't emphasize just how quiet the. ghost notes are supposed to be so it doesn't sound right at all. Nice work!

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Like Purdie said, "don't worry bout those ghost notes; ain't nothin but rebound!"

[@BoboDetector]

this is one of my fave toto song. I'm 17

[@ArtOfDrumming]

[@N8botelho90]

Incredible job across the board dude ! Truely impressed / enjoy my Self watching your content.

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Hey Nate Thanks for your feedback! Glad you like that video :)

[@brianmoore493]

So good man really interesting watching you put this together but I hate to say it man those ghosts notes are so incredibly hard to get exactly right. My uncle met Jeff vaccaro and Toto back in the eighties and he said before that song came out Jeff would spend his time playing that shuffle groove in between sets so I think it's just playing it over and over and over before you finally get those Ghost notes perfect because you can actually hear them really closely they're quite busy

[@flipnap2112]

honestly man, I played this song a lot, and love most of us just did the cheaters way.. you know what I mean. other night I sat on the set and spent 4 hours unlearning. its incredibly hard for people with a certain brain programming to be able to split their mind to echo those ghost notes. its just one of those things that really hard to do right. I finally clicked and when it did its like I had been playing it for 20 years. I cant believe how it happened. I still dont understand but its like magic. love this stuff

[@scottpitner4298]

[@ArtOfDrumming]

[@rubenromijndrummer]

Great sound! Only thing I would have picked different is the snare drum. I believe Jeff used a steel/metal snare drum, or at least no wood i think.. The original sounds a bit sharper.

[@Jonathan-dj5ry]

Also Paiste 2002 cymbals

[@tim6155]

All your stuff is spot on yet I am assuming you have little Paiste’s in the studio? Just curious being that this and Stewart were both Zildjian when they were very famously Paiste players and you all are super accurate so I doubt you’d miss that detail.

Sound is pretty good, but I'd cut the highs on the reverb a bit. And maybe use a metal snare. But playing is on point.

[@PeterParker-do5pv]

0:40 original beat 3:31 recreated beat Pretty close but in my opinion the hi hat is a bit more brilliant on the original tune, and the snare also sounds a little different and the recreated sound also has more reverb than the original. Nice job thought, keep it up.

[@Frank1979Zappa]

Good comment. And he plays one ghost note, after the last bass drum and before the second back beat, that Jeff actually didn‘t play. Never realized this until this great video. So thanks, both of you.

[@Sugarsail1]

I suspect the dry "muffling" sound came less from the actual drums and more from the recording method in the original...but whatever works if you're trying to emulate the same sound in a modern recording set up then go for it.

[@russelw.6288]

Sick guys. Nailed it.

you should get a VST drum kit, they sound much better than any hardware brain on these kits and you can tune until the cows come home. you can even use a standalone if you dont have a DAW. superior drummer is great is you have 400 bucks.
