Hi,
Also check out the tune:My Own Way to Rock by Burton Cummings; amazing shuffle on that one.
I keep forgetting is an amazing track.
Here's one of my fav Pocaro tracks - Burton Cummmings - my own way to rock.

I love listening to him on Dire Straits' Heavy Fuel. Jeff lays an awesome groove to that song.
Guess I'm wrong about the studio? I thought it was Jim on most if not not all of those tracks. He recorded with Burton Cummings but it sounds like Jeff Porcaro was on some of those tracks.Brian - Wiki discography shows My Own Way to Rock is Jeff P no? my band plays it and I always thought it was Jeff.
Happy Birthday Jeff

Great thrift and he really creates a nice feel for the song. I think the best grooves are like a rolling egg instead of a rolling ball. This egg rolls slow and then those great tom fills. Jeffs the man.
I really like Boz Scaggs song 'Lowdown'. Tasty 2 beat fill intro (3e+a 4_+a) into a beautifully played 1/16th groove. The kick pattern is nice, 3 strokes per bar. The '1', and the 'a3'. Played so clean.
