Porcaro Interview

[PocketPlayer]

One of Jeff's last interviews is being posted by Drum Mag

Kingdom of Desire Session

If you don't have TOTO's Kingdom of Desire....GET IT!

Some highlights...
Two hours and ten songs later-capped by a grueling, triple-stroke bass drum workout on the Sly Stone tune, "Higher"-he emerges from behind the pummeled tubs, holding his hip, limping, and laughing. "Man, I'm getting too old for this!" High fives are exchanged and slowly the room clears. For Jeff, the next stop is Chuck E. Cheese's pizza parlor for his son's five-year birthday party. "See you tomorrow," and off he goes.

===============================================

DRUM! Approximately how many sessions do you think you've done?

Jeff: Last year a British publishing company put out an encyclopedia of music which had a listing of musicians and the records they'd played on. I had quite a few, but it was probably actually only half of what I'd played on. A lot of stuff never even gets released. Probably half the stuff that anybody does never see's the light of day, it's on some shelf somewhere.

Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where?

Thank's for the link [img]cool.gif[/img]

I was seeing the transcription of Rosanna and i found a different place of the second bass drum note from where i expected it was

the transcription show it play on the third note of the second triplet ( hi hat )



while i always thought it was on the second note of the second triplet ( snare ghost note )



What's you opinion ?

I also see others differences on second a bar between this transcription and my transcription [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

this is mine



second bass drum on bar 1 and last bass drum on bar 2 are played in unison of the snare ghost note

Feel free to correct me if i'am wrong [img]wink.gif[/img]
