You Might Need Somebody Drum Breakdown
Learn how to play a classic Jeff Porcaro drum part
This Is The You Might Need Somebody Drum Breakdown
Welcome to the You Might Need Somebody drum breakdown. Here we will learn how to play the whole drum part for a classic 80s song.
This was a huge hit for Randy Crawford and it featured none other than session drumming legend Jeff Porcaro on drums. The drum part is so cleverly constructed and oozes with Porcaro’s impeccable feel.
He makes great use of the half time shuffle which he also famously used in Rosanna by Toto. So the first challenge is to learn the main groove, get it up to speed, and then make it feel as good as Porcaro does.
But in this lesson we will break down every groove and fill so that you can nail the part 100% accurately. You will also get the full transcription so you can download it and learn each part gradually.
It is a great challenge in playing for the song and it’s a huge amount of fun to jam along with.
