Discover the story behind "Africa" and how Jeff Porcaro's iconic drum part shaped the sound of this timeless hit 🥁🎶 Few drum parts are as instantly recognizable as "Africa" by Toto, and much of that magic comes from Jeff Porcaro's unique ability to blend creativity, precision, and feel 🥁🌟 We closed another year full of positive notes, and I'm beyond grateful for your support and appreciation of my content 🥁 As a personal way to say thank you for this year, I want to give you a truly special gift. Here you'll find a free PDF that includes all the drum exercises from the blog. That's a practical resource you can download, keep, and practice for life 🥁 "Distant Early Warning" is one of Rush's most underrated songs, featuring the precise and nuanced style of Neil Peart. He navigates the song with reggae-oriented and rock drum grooves, moving through the time signature changes with majesty 🥁 Vacation mode: Luxembourg, Basel, Maastricht, Eindhoven 🇱🇺🇨🇭🇳🇱
