    In this free drum lesson, I want to give you the FULL free PDF Drum Chart to the song “Africa” by TOTO, featuring the drumming of Jeff Porcaro.
    This has been requested from me for many years now, and the only reason I haven’t included it already was because of the difference between the recorded and the live version. So for this chart I’ve also included notes on how Jeff played it live as well.
    The recording uses lots of percussion, shakers and congas to build up the drum track. The pattern that Jeff played on the recording is actually quite sparse giving room for all the other instruments…a very mature and professional choice. No wonder Jeff Porcaro is considered one of the greatest drummers of all time. Enjoy!

    Excellent tutorial - you had me going from not knowing anything about playing it, to getting the versus completely memorized in one evening. Well done! I cant wait to be able to nail the fills :)

    • @DrumsTheWord

      Glad I could help, John. Those drum fills are so much fun to play!

  • @Ramshackled17

    I like the way you give options to play the parts. I read that Jeff and a percussionist sat in front of each other and jammed to this groove. than they picked a favorite part and made a loop.

      Thanks for the insight, mate! Fascinating stuff. Jeff is a legend!

      BRC Yes, and the percussionist is no other than legendary Lenny Castro

      www.DrumsTheWord.com Thank you for the great videos! Jeff told that story about Africa in a modern drummer magazine, If I can recall.

    Brave choice of song. Epic. To quote the 'Art of Drumming ' programme. 'Drummers have been fascinated with the Pecaro shuffle on Rosanne for 40 years' 'Africa' is just as challanging. Well done, glad to see it 'warts and all' including mistakes. Most instructors dont.

    Great lesson(s)! Although, you can hear clearly that he's playing 8th-notes on the ride in the choruses and I believe in the verses, also in the music video he's playing eightnotes (putting in 16-notes also) :)

    excellent way to break it down! extremely helpful for me...I am not a drummer, but simulate them with my sequencer, you made it simple to understand...thank you!

    I thought this beat is just a simple beat before I started to learn drums. I hope it's not too late to learn Heheh. I love Toto. Jeff Porcaro inspires me to learn.

    Great job! I would love to have a breakdown of the 3rd drum-fill that Jeff did live (after the key-board solo), like at the 1990 Paris concert!

    • @DrumsTheWord
      @DrumsTheWord  7 лет назад

      Yeah, I thought that fill was really cool as well!

    Nice analysis! Couldn't really hear what the right hand was doing in the verses on the album, as you pointed out, so this answers that nicely. :)

    • @DrumsTheWord
      @DrumsTheWord  7 лет назад

      Eh? I'm talking about how Jeff plays if live. There is a video of him with TOTO on stage paying Africa back in the day.
