@StoobyToons Hahahahahahahahaha I know what you are talking about. What a great remark. I`m envious with you that I didn`t think of this before you did. RESPECT!!
Great snare drum sound! Very crisp, bright interplay between the hi hat and snare drum, and very clearly explained. It's too bad Jeff died as young as he did, he seemed like a cool guy.

fool in the rain has a different high hat pattern.the hat is open/shut on the 3 and/upbeat (clutched?).This is great but there is sumpin magic about the way Bonham does it...
Jeff played on numerous recordings such as "Beat It, Human Nature, The Girl Is Mine" by Michael Jackson, "When A Man Loves A Woman" by Michael Bolton, "Like A Prayer" by Madonna, "Human Touch" by Bruce Springsteen, "Unison" by Celine Dion and played with musicians such as Michael McDonald, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Aretha Franklin, Al Jarreau, George Benson and many many more. He is probably the world's top drummers of all time in pop and rock genre. Only a fool would say otherwise.
I'm certainly not a drummer but dealt with many. This is simply brilliant and sounds great. Man I wish Porcaro was still around....Toto was an outrageously great band! And I'm glad Boz still keeps his music going because he's fantastic!
Is amazing how he relies and blends the styles of two very different drummers such as Bernanrd Purdie and John Bonham to achieve a new and ultimate "hybrid" as he calls it... THAT just happen when you are a true musician from blood and guts.
I learned this groove from this very video. I have worn out my copy on VHS. It is my favorite grove to play. I have mastered it. I have mastered the quarter note high hat thing (Jeff plays at the end of video) but I personally think that it detracts from the half time feel of the grove making it sound sloppy or too busy.
Too bad he wasn't on stage in that famous '89 Buddy Rich concert with Steve Gadd, Vinnie, and Dave Weckl. That concert would still be going on, and I'd want to hear every beat.
