Those ghost notes are so perfect! I love it!!!

Those ´"ghost notes" sound like a marching band's roll. Father's of this groove, Porcaro and Purdie have a completely different approach in ghosting.

It's more than a half-time shuffle. The comment doesn't reflect well on someone considering the groove on "Take the A Train" to be comparable to this fairly complex groove. (Bohnams track on "Fool in the Rain" was the original influence for this groove). This is the problem with the internet. Any idiot can spout off knowing nothing of the topic & a million fools will agree.

You are at the top of your game because you put in the work to get there. So much respect man … you’re teaching an entire generation of musicians (and regular folks too) that, if you wanna be really good at something, you practice that shit every day, you live it, you breathe it, you dream about it at night … THAT is how masters are made. It’s not natural born talent, it’s hard work and dedication.

[@egoequus6263]

I remember when this album and particularly this song dropped on the radio. It hit like an atomic bomb. Even though it was hit parade stuff, the musicians appreciated that really elite jazz grooves and drumming were making an impact on pop music. Steely Dan was also doing the same at that time too. I'd like to hear today's groups get off their drum machines and hit the sticks like the masters of yore.

I'm sick of comments sections questioning your technical ability. Thank you for putting an ender to the conversation, dude.

[@drumdone]

I've not seen anyone question his technical ability, but players like Jeff Porcaro had a certain something that elevated this groove to something above the norm and it became more than the sum of its parts. I think he's demonstrating that here, playing the beat, and a little extra, technically well, but not really with the feel and depth of rhythm that Jeff and very few others have.

[@joelcr2383]

@@drumdone You have now continued the conversation. So, Jeff Porcaro, Bernard Purdie and any other people that have originated or furthered this groove, do not detract from this man's technical ability and aren't something to put him down as that is not necessarily his artistic intention to better them. Dumb conversation, every time.
