Rosanna, Toto - Trinity Rock and Pop Drums Grade 8: 70% Speed Practice-Along Video

Jeff Porcaro’s masterpiece, as it appears in Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 8 - played at 70% speed! To facilitate practicing along and getting your hands and feet nailing the part before moving up to full speed.

Eagle-eyed Toto fans will notice that whilst it’s pretty close to the original drum part overall, there are some slight differences, most notably the drum-only intro, where in the Grade 8 version we’re playing the ghost notes “in the gaps” at the way through, whereas they’re more sparse on Porcaro’s performance. Once the vocal kicks in the groove is a very close/exact match.

My full-speed video demo is here:    • Rosanna, Toto - Trinity Rock and Pop ...  

My talk-through of the main groove (from the original) is here:    • How To Play "Rosanna" by Toto on Drum...  

I use an app called "Anytune" to slow down the backing track: https://anytune.us/

Grade 8 songbook, which comes with free download of all backing tracks is here: https://amzn.to/2Lk0CPf

Thanks for watching and hope you find this "practice-along" format useful. Have fun and please let me know if any questions :)
