Welcome to Jeff Porcaro: Groove Master!


My first intention was to get the word out! I started this blog years ago in effort to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Jeff’s passing. I was at Jeff’s funeral and that evening went to a Dave Weckl drum clinic. Dave dedicated a shuffle to Jeff…it was moving. I put the following together for the Modern Drummer issue- - August 2002. Much of what was published for that issue by Robyn Flans is similar. I go into much more detail here for those interested.
