Wow I just love that driving beat. It makes me want to create my own workout routine. Jeff Porcaro and his drums are the backbone to the whole theme.It totally rocks.Everything gels together. Keyboards guitar bass horns and percussion.He is still the best and there will never be anyone like him again.He will always remain the best Heartstrings Drummer of all time and Dropdead Gorgeous Dreamyeyed Angel.Still number one and Leader of Heaven’s Rhythm Section.

Jeff Porcaro and his drums were the perfect backbone to all the Toto hits starting with the debut album and ending with Kingdom of Desire. But let’s not forget his brilliant session work with artists such as Seals&Crofts Boz Scaggs Steely Dan and so many others.He knew how to add the right groove. I love watching his drum instruction video and music videos on my I-pad screen. Still the best and there will never be anyone like him again Forever number one.And the greatest of all time.
