I’m a massive Jeff Porcaro fan, here’s for you another drum transcription from one of his most recognizable work… Africa by Toto is one the most famous songs of the eighties, it was recorded in 1981, released as single in 1982 and after was included on the album Toto IV. The song was co-written by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro, introducing a different sound from all previous works of the band.
If you want to know more about the song, visit this page:
