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! 🤘🥁🎶
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
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.
@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). 👍👍
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.
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 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!
