I can spend hours listening to Jeff Porcaro playing drums. He was a master! He could play every type of music, pop, soft rock, jazz. He was famous for his half shuffel drum. He will ever be a legend. The best drummer I had the chance to play in live.
@@julianc.6589I would say that Jeff grooves better than Vinnie, but Vinnie’s chops are certainly legendary. Overall, Vinnie might be better, but if it’s a groove, I’ll take Jeff, Steve Gadd, or Steve Jordan everyday.
@@spencergsmith Exactly! Vinnie is SUPER technical, and I LOVE it, though all of those odd time sigs ("Seven Days" etc) have their place, as does a simple groove. Not cutting wither drummer down, and I love both.
How can anyone not love this guy??? What feel for the groove and the pocket. Spot on jeff. PS: I hope when we're all reunited one day with our loved ones I get to finally meet Jeff in the after life and tell him how much I enjoyed every swing of the stick he performed... and then I hope we can play drums together for a tune or two.
Hmm sure looks like a pearl hi end kit with finished inside shells ... a lot of drum forum scuttle that he only played gretsch and hardly ever used the drums he endorsed, even though he almost always on a yamaha 9000 or a pearl mlx kit in footage of him playing.. the guy could play a garbage can and kill it ... the best pocket i e ever heard is this guys time
I was expecting him to do a Blakey shuffle or something considering the excerpt is called a “jazz shuffle” (which mind you, he probably could play that, it’s Jeff Porcaro for christs sake) but nevertheless, the pocket is so deep it’s in his shoes!
