Continuing with the theme of great drummers explaining their parts, I had to share this one. This is the legendary Jeff Porcaro, who in this video looks like he just got back from eating a steak.

No JamSmooth.com is not turning into a drummer’s blog, I’m enjoying these great musicians and their insights into playing.
