Rosanna berklee assignment week 7 + Monumental fail at end

Hi, Guys!
We were given the assignment to play Rosanna by Toto (obviously this is a cover.) We had 1 week to learn to play this song. I have never played it before and this shuffle feel is not something I am quite used to playing. The chart that was provided did not contain all those crazy ghost notes Jeff Porcaro played in the original recording. The goal for this assignment was to test our chart reading skills and to see if we could perform the shuffle feel. Obviously this assignment was not to perfection and of course it would take a longer while than only 1 week to get that feel flowing with ease. It was a struggle for me and it was a heck of a week. I put in 37 hours to be exact to get this much down. Anyhow.. Monumental fail at the end of the video as my stick/grip slipped and caused me to loose the groove so to speak. I decided to not re record as I think the basic idea is there and also have to get moving with my next assignment that needs to be turned in next Sunday and also, I'm just that burned out to re record! I hope to have the opportunity to keep working on this song after I am finished with school as I know there is much to learn from it. With that said. I hope you all enjoy! :)

Thank's Stanley!

Good job Jarah and nice fills. I know my hand fatigues playing a long up tempo shuffle!

[@JarahOnDrums]

Thanks Gail!.. Yeah the only trick is to relax the hand as mich as possible and rely on that rebound. I struggled with the fatigue also! Thanks for dropping in 😊

[@markricher7362]

If somebody asked me to play Rosanna, I would run away screaming and crying, lol!

[@JarahOnDrums]

Hehe.. Well. When I got done with it I did run and scream.. Haha..

Nice work. 😂 I've tried it a few times this year, and that groove is not an easy one, but is it ever a fun song to play. In fact, now that I've just pulled into the driveway, after an annoying stint of work, I think I'll go in, get changed and throw that song on the stereo and jam out on my practice setup 🤔

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nah, not a monumental fail, just a bit of a flub at the change 😋

[@JarahOnDrums]

@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Thanks.. 😊.. My grip/stick slipped right there and just threw me off!. Thanks for watching and commenting.. Happy jam!
