best recording drummers I've ever heard in my life probably one of the best drummers maybe ever I think so one of the best drummers in the world you got to do a tribute to a cat like that this is a guy who gave with Incredible generosity to everybody just one of the most amazing little human beings I've ever known in my life Jeff was like one of a kind man he had the greatest time steal he really had that sense of aura that you couldn't help but love him he was kind of a lightning rod at at sessions Believe It or Not people want to go back to using real drummers Jeff barar was a legendary figure in the drum World revered for his unparalleled skill versatility and musicality he was a founding member of the band Toto and one of the most recorded session musicians in history working with legendary artists in bands like sunny and Sher Steely Dan Michael Jackson Madonna and many others picaro's Groove timing and Innovative techniques launched him to the Forefront of the music scene in the 70s and 80s earning him a widespread Acclaim and numerous accolades as a true Pioneer of his craft his drumming continues to influence generations of drummers around the world join us as we dive into the genius of Jeff [Music] picaro from left to right CH Mike and Steve kakaro p o c a r o p o r c a r o right Born into a family deeply entrenched in the music industry it seems as though Jeff was destined for greatness his father Joe was a renowned Jazz drummer and [Applause] educator I'm Joe pararo today we're going to explore some of the many fastet of playing jazz and his two brothers Mike and Steve were accomplished bass and keyboard players playing alongside Jeff and Toto and forging their own successful careers as session musicians growing up in such a musical household Jeff displayed a natural Talent from an early age but I remember as a kid Jeff he was in his crib my wife and I are listening to Miles Davis he could sing his solo he began taking lessons with his father in his Connecticut Studio on weekends and sought out private instructors throughout his time in middle and high school he joined several bands during this time with his brother Steve recalling even back in junior high school he had that deep pocket I mean at one point in the school band they had two drummers one was the flashy soloist but Jeff you know he was laying it down he played better than any pro that I know as far as rock and roll and on time stuff goes and he was a teenager and he was a teenager he was 14 15 years old and really the drums were all about serving the music for Jeff he'd spend hours listening and playing to his favorite songs during this time all I do did is listen to records I don't read real well and all I would do is imitate watch guys listen to guys I would sit at home 5 hour today after school put on headphones and I used to love mimicking styles of different drummers and whatnot he began to forge his own sound inspired by his two drum Heroes Jim Kelner and Jim Gordon he and Jim ker were my Idols ever since I was 13 man I I used to follow this guy around and he was the number one Studio drummer in this town for years nobody's drums sounded better nobody groov better than this guy Jeff's First Recording gig as a professional came out of a rehearsal band headed by Jack [Music] dowy you can even hear him double drumming with his hero Jim [Music] Kelner soon after his work with Jack dowy came job with sunny and Sher which launched Jeff into the world of pop music you could already hear his deep pocket on tracks like it never rains in southern [Music] California T break Jeff had a way of making seemingly simple grooves feel and sound great his right hand was used for more than simple timekeeping it was employed to add texture through a subtle use of [Music] Dynamics it's wine Ki off your high heels sneers it's party time the girl when I played just the eighth notes on the high hat it wasn't like I just played them the same Dynamic you know real stiff I put kind of an interlope to it he'd also embellish grooves in unique and subtle ways what Jeff would call in between stuff the stuff that most the time you don't hear that should be it's the undercurrent little grooves like the little tiny things rosan or the the little Grace notes and the little subtleties that happen between the drums you got to hear those cuz those do magic to a Groove too Jeff would experiment with different variations and interpretations of a rhythm you can hear this on display in the song mushanga which is one of the most intricate drum parts that Jeff recorded [Music] Jeff's unique drum part for the song played a huge role in the creation of the song in an interview with Robin flans he said I knew what the thing was going to be but I wanted to think of a new beat for me something different I didn't want one of those situations where after I heard what I did it ends up that I stole it or I'd heard it before in some sort of context it was fun doing that beat now that I know it I wish we could cut the track again it was one of those things where I had to figure out the sticking a certain way there are no overdubs so all the drumless tracks and no for no transcriptions are available for you on Dro you can even sound better than this guy if you actually dive in and learn all the stuff we're not even talking about in this video but it's all there for you you can Loop the section you can practice and you can have all that good stuff so drum.com trial you can try drumu out free for 7even days let's get back to the video so this guy will shut up with so much knowledge being applied behind the kit you would think that Jeff had formal training in music but he never did and his sight reading skills were limited like a few times Zappa has called me to do sessions and I've turned them down and he think and thinks maybe I'm busy something but I'm just scared to death cuz I know no I know guys like Vinnie and bosio and whatnot and I've known them for years and I've seen what they have to sight read zapple would tear me apart he you know get poed from me wasting his time what he lacked in theory he made up for with his listening skills precision and innate sense of musicality the way he approached playing 16th notes was influenced by this and Jeff preferred playing them with one hand I like the single-handed method cuz it's a lot smoother feel reason I say so the more you develop it it helps with the execution of 16s and uptempo things according to Michael McDonald when it came to Jeff's drum coming in the studio a 100 drummers could have played the same thing but not that way I tried doing the alternating stroke method of doing 16s and it sounded just too stiff in staccato for [Music] meare [Music] to I keep forgetting we're not in love anymore I keep forgetting things will never be the same again I keep forgetting how you made that so [Music] clear on the surface the grooves we've looked at so far seem pretty straightforward but in reality they require so much finesse and feel to execute at Jeff's level Steve once said there were lots of guys who played faster or with more chops but there's no living Soul alive who played a Groove like that it's all finess it's that little extra something you either have it or you don't he was touched by God when he was born much like his ability to play 16th notes with one hand Jeff developed a foot technique that works for him with a surprising origin story goes back to when I was a young kid first learning to play drums I couldn't reach my dad's pedal so I play with my toes basically and the ball of my foot I guess you can say I dance on the pedals and I like to slide up into my pedal in addition to Jeff's deep sense of GrooVe deep pocket and Technical proficiency he was also incredibly versatile able to pull from a variety of genres at any given [Music] time Jeff's shuffles became a sign part of his playing even though apparently he hated to play them at the beginning of his career I hate shuffles on the Katy light album the tune Black [Music] Friday I played it twice and I threw my sticks down and I was 19 years old I was like flipped out I threw my sticks down I walked out of the studio and I walked around the block twice I know what a shuffle is supposed to feel like cuz I love hearing guys who play shuffles good and I'm here listening to myself playing I just couldn't stand hearing myself because I know I knew it wasn't swinging so I went up to Fagan and I said look get some other drummer to play this song man get somebody who really knows a shuffle and they got pissed at me and they said no you play it and I came back in mad and I did that track after I did that track people started expecting me to play shuffles you can hear him lay down a tight Shuffle in BOS Skaggs track Leo Shuffle and according to Skaggs it sounds simple but it's really not easy to execute in a 1983 interview with Robin flans Jeff explained that the beat I used on Leo Shuffle is the same thing Jim Gordon did except at twice the tempo there's no originality there a drummer's own style comes from eventually being on his own but I copied Gordon and Jim Kelner and all these guys I duck I remember realizing this but after a while the accumulation of all these guys you copy becomes Your Own Thing [Music] hopefully but most famously Jeff was known for his halftime Shuffle as heard on these tracks I don't love you [Music] anymore morning little cheer morning sister h did I tell you everything and of course we can't talk about pararo shuffles without mentioning his legendary halftime Shuffle from the song Rosanna all I do when I wake up in the see you rosan Ros I stole that beat from listening to two records one was home at last and Babylon sisters which is Bernard pie Steely Dan records another is the John bonam on a Fool in the Rain those Le Zeppelin to putting those two beats together I came up with my own little kind of hybrid I added the B diddly figure it's a shuffle B diddly [Music] figure let's take a look at how the groove is played on the totto 4 record which has one less bassom note than what Jeff Demos in the starx [Music] video see you Roan R and on the topic of Rosanna we can Overlook one of Jeff's most memorable drum fills where he accents the last note of each triplet [Music] grouping hi we're Toto I'm Jeff pararo I'm Michael pararo and I'm David paig Toto was formed in 1977 in Los Angeles after growing up together and years of playing music together as session musicians they recruited David hungate on bass Steve Luca on guitar and Jeff's brother Steve before the release of their first album in 1978 Jeff p and David hungate were doing really well in town as a section when they went on the road they added myself to cover David's overdubs and they added Luca the band name reflected Jeff's wide range of musical interests our name comes from the Latin term in to to at Toto toas which means all-encompassing all the fact that most of the band members knew each other from an early age was a big reason for their sustained success over the years the nucleus of this band um knew each other since they were children children don't lie to each other when they're young so as you grow older I think it's a good advantage to have uh that you know each other how do I say it's very honestly and openly the band announced itself on the scene in a big way with their self-titled album in 1978 and the track Georgie Porgy which is heavily influenced by all the Maurice and Freddy white stuff you can hear Jeff's trademark one-handed 16th note Groove Jeff once said that when it comes to that Groove my biggest influences were Paul Humphrey Ed green Earl Palmer and the Godfather of that 16th note Groove James Gadson that Georgie Porgy Groove I owe to them it's notu [Music] I but the breakout hit of the album was undoubtedly their debut single Hold the Line reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100 Jeff sites Greg ero from slideing the Family Stone as a huge influence for this drum part it features a triplet feel on the high hat with a driving bassom pattern in the verse not in the way [Music] and a four on the floor Groove in the chorus that maintains the triplet feel the line love isn't always on time W it's not in the way that hold me it's not in the way you say you care it's not in the way you've been treating my friends it's not in the way that you stay till the end it's not in the way you look all the things that you said that you do for the love isn't always [Music] [Applause] on for the line love isn't always on time and off the same record the song child's Anthem is another great example of Jeff playing in a triplet feeli this time on the [Music] toms over the next three years the band released two further albums called Hydra and turn back and even though they weren't as well received as the debut album they do feature some real gems especially in terms of Jeff's drumming like on the song St George and the [Music] Dragon and off the same record we can hear the band totally switch gears for the track 99 which features a more Soulful Vibe again showcasing Jeff's trademark single-handed 16th note Groove lightning I've been waiting so long on 99 where we turn back also has some standout moments from Jeff Baro from a more driving Hard Rock inspired track like live for [Music] today threw to a trademark for Caro Shuffle at a fast tempo on the track goodbye Eleanor she and fast forwarding towards the end of the track there's a rare instance of Jeff playing some busier drum fills on [Music] record the band really hit their stride with their fourth album totto 4 which launch the band to Global stardom Africa is a stand out track that blends genres and percussive elements from around the world it even features Jeff's dad Joe on the Basse verima and the popularity of the track actually came as a surprise to the band we thought we'd had the whole album I mean we listen if I listen to the rest of the cuts I go boy we really have it covered with the rock singles and all this no Jeff was very much of the Muse for the whole thing he was the one that said okay we're going to do this we're going to do it with a loop and he kind of he took over the leadership role in that particular especially when we first started cutting it all the way up to the point where and then he helped Dave with the lyrics on creating the drum loop as the foundation for the song Jeff explained so there was bass drum snare drum high hat two conas a cowbell and a Shaker we went back in cut the tape and made a one bar tape Loop that went round and round and round the Lin machine was available to us maybe it would have taken 2 minutes to program that in the Lin and it took about half an hour to do this but a Lin machine doesn't feel like that so we had an analog [Music] Groove this track features some iconic drum fills that were overdubbed over Jeff's drum Loop got to take the life to take me away from you there's more that 100 men are more than ever do I the Rains Down and we go going to take some time to do the things we [Music] never the album is incredibly diverse when it comes to different styles of music music it includes the track waiting for your love which features a catchy dance Groove as well as I won't hold you back A Soulful ballad driven by keys and guitar again showcasing Jeff's restraint and musical [Music] [Applause] touch when the dust settled Toto 4 received three Grammy Awards in 1983 this was also the final album with the original Toto lineup with David hungate and vocalist Bobby Kimble leaving the band before recording the next album isolation in 1984 while the vocals were different Jeff's tasteful drumming remained as heard in the track stranger in town where he lays down a solid BackBeat [Music] Groove following this the band got involved in some other projects like writing the Dune soundtrack and also writing the theme song for the 1984 Olympics which remains a classic largely due to Jeff's driving drum part Fahrenheit was the band's six studio album released in 1986 and it marked a more polished sound compared to their previous album till the end features Jeff laying down a tasty Groove while cycling through an intricate bassum pattern that follows the [Music] Baseline [Music] the single Alby over you went on to become the most popular track though with Jeff's melodic drumming weaving the perfect backdrop for the beautiful harmonies from his [Music] bandmates [Music] by the time the album the seventh one rolled around the band started consciously introducing More thought-provoking lyrics with social commentary I think there's three tune A Home of the Brave manga in a thousand years that say something we we've been together and only the children that for 10 years lucar has two beautiful babies I have two beautiful babies Mike has a baby Steve I think as we've matured and we have families and children what when we look at our kids what we do has a different kind of importance than it did five six seven years ago Steve Luca described the album as a period of one upmanship new synthesizer sounds and layers were being experimented with the track stopped loving you being a great example with Jeff's trademark Groove holding it all [Music] [Applause] together Pamela according to David P is obviously influenced by Rosanna it features an elaborate composition with a horn section while the Rhythm Section with Jeff at the center lays down a solid Groove I just remember it not he this time one totot track that often gets overlooked is can you hear what I'm saying from the past to present album This is a rare example where Jeff likely had a side snare on his kit I say we all unite and Weir our destiny might I bet dis [Music] tragically Jeff passed away during two rehearsals for the band's eighth album Kingdom of desire in 1992 the track don't shame my heart showcases Jeff's assertive rhythmic timing and interdynamic [Music] control and the drum part for Jake to the bone is a fusion master class in [Music] itself after losing Jeff the band wasn't sure if they would continue tragically and suddenly we lost Jeff Dave and Jeff are best friends I mean you know all of us were but you know I'm looking around the room are we going to be able to do this what should we do should we or shouldn't we we even talk to his parents kind of got a blessing from the family and the big thing was like who were you going to get to sit in that spot so a wild card I had worked with uh Simon Phillips uh on some stuff in in Japan with Jeff Beck and Carl Santana and we thought s would be just weird enough you know I thought well let me call him and see and as it turns out I called him he was on his way to La anyway well it was uh hell of a surprise and uh obviously a real honor to be asked to by Steve to come and play in Jeff's uh place I didn't know Jeff that well but every time I did meet him he was ever so sweet to me he was always very warm very friendly and that's how I remember him as a founding member of one of the most iconic and successful rock bands in history Jeff shaped the music scene for decades to come remarkably though he continued to pursue session work for some of the most prolific recording artists in the industry throughout this [Music] time throughout their last years in high school Jeff and his good friends David P and Steve Luca became some of the most sought after session musicians in La when we got out of high school we started immediately doing sessions with people like seals and crops and Steely Dan when asked about his approach to session drumming Jeff gave this piece of advice I'll tell you the basic thing you're doing a session for the first time you're walking in and they start playing and they try to play all their hip chops and all their hip fills and it turns off some people sometimes cuz basically all they want to hear is time and if you get through the first day where you've laid down good time for them then you'll get called back cuz you're not um inhibiting anybody you're not freaking anybody out you know what I'm saying from the mid '70s up until his past in 1992 Jeff recorded literally hundreds of Records he played with Legends like Sarah Von and Ray Charles contemporary pop icons like Michael Jackson and Madonna and in 1980 he contributed to a record that he was particularly proud of called [Music] GAO in the self-titled track Jeff laid down a smooth drum part with Buzz rolls perfectly accentuating the track boss gags was a another artist who often enlisted Jeff's help when he was putting tracks together in the track low down he sustains a funky 16th note Groove for 5 minutes throwing in tasty fills and offbeat high have barks along the way if you listen closely you'll hear that Jeff overdubbed the high hats to add an extra layer giving it an even deeper [Music] Groove but it didn't stop at Steely Dan and boss Skaggs in the late' 70s and early ' 80s Jeff teamed up with a up and cominging Diana Ross and you can hear his drumming on tracks like [Music] these Jeff worked with Alan Tucson an influential figure in the New Orleans rhythm and blues scene and you can hear his unconventional approach on the track night people night people hanging out looking at each other waiting and believe it or not Jeff can also be heard on Pink Floyd's album the wall with the band recording on a tight schedule one of The Producers suggested that they reach out to Jeff to record the part here's what he tracked on the album do [Music] think's let's take a closer look at this drum part paying close attention to the bars of five the syncopated rack Toms that are thrown in and also the varied high hat openings do you think she's good [Music] enough do think [Music] Jeff also worked with artha Franklin in the early 80s and he was featured on two of her albums take a listen to The Slick Groove from love all the her away which was a duet with George Benson Love [Music] the not wanting to be pigeonholed into a disco act the bgs enlisted Jeff's drumming for the 1981 album living eyes among other session drummers like Steve Gad listen to Jeff's Dynamics on the high hat and phills in the verse section adding an extra layer to the track are are [Music] in following this many of Toto's band members including Jeff Steve Luca David P and Steve picaro were tasked with production duties on Michael Jackson's Thriller which went on to become the best selling album of all time you know I remember going being at Jeff's house going like you know Jeff Maro he goes come on over man Quincy sent over the cassette for us to dig before the day before the session we're like okay in reality Jeff's involvement with the project likely came about by luck in a 2020 interview Steve ricaro explained how it happened to be honest I think the only reason Jeff got the call was because John Robinson was was out of town with Rufus John Robinson was Quincy's go-to drummer at that point for The Girl is Mine which was the first time Jeff played drums for Quincy they actually had cuz I was there they actually had John Robinson's drums delivered in case they didn't like the way Jeff tuned his drums or something and of course though they love the way Jeff's drums were tuned and they adored Jeff and his playing and you can hear Jeff's drumming on tracks like human nature which was written by his brother Steve tell them that it's human why do do it that way they say you can hear Jeff playing a more swung groove on the song The Girl is Mine from the start I'm so proud I am the only one who is special in her heart the girl and when it came to the track Beat It Jeff actually approached this track in an unconventional way which involved recording reporting his own click track Jeff went out and with his sticks listened to that had it cranked the phones and he made his own click ja just the way he wanted to hear it not necessarily the groove that ended up which is more straight like this but he put a little Shuffle into it so he can make make it swing make it feel and he went out there and he did a couple takes I think the second take was nailed his time was perfect it was great they don't you have aover don't want to see a face you better disappear the fire in their eyes and their works are really clear so [Music] be Jeff was on a roll after his work with Michael Jackson teaming up with Elton John on his album jump up listen to Jeff's lowprofile yet tasty drum and percussion work on Empty Garden a tribute to John Lennon [Music] we we he [Music] on KN Don Henley of the Eagles also enlisted Jeff's help for his solo career the track dirty laundry is a great example of Jeff's solid timekeeping accenting shots only where the music calls for [Music] it I make my living off the evening news though officially uncredited it's widely recognized that Jeff was also featured on Chicago's bestselling album Chicago 17 listening to stay the night you can hear Jeff's feel on the high hat and some of his classic drum [Music] fills Jeff's drumming can also be heard on Eric Clapton's album behind the Sun his Groove and offbeat accents Drive the track forever man in subtle [Music] ways a huge perk of Jeff's session work was the fact that he got to collaborate with artists he admired earthwind and fire is one example who he worked with on the 1987 record touch the world baby here we are waiting here for time to play the game let Ste and Jeff continued to team up with the biggest artists in pop music like Selen Dion and Madonna for her 1989 record Like a Prayer laying down the foundation for the track cherished with a classic Shuffle group Cherish The heav you he by my side oh baby I cherish you here by my side baby Jeff would even go on to work with Bruce Springstein on his iconic track human touch in 1992 shortly before his passing oh girl feeling safy it come over the course of 20 odd years Jeff recorded hundreds of albums across thousands of sessions it's no exaggeration to say that the sound of mainstream pop and rock drumming in the 1980s was to a large extent the sound of Jeff Baro having worked with such iconic artists over the course of his career and featuring on an estimated half a billion records sold worldwide it's absolutely no wonder his legacy endures to this day he was so honest within himself and such a giver just one of the most amazing little human beings I've ever known in my life man as everybody has said he was one of the most generous giving people I ever met and when he came to a session he would light up the room Jeff picaro's passion can be felt in every beat every Groove and every Rhythm he laid down his drumming was characterized by its Precision versatility and Soulful expression setting a standard of Excellence that few have been able to match whether driving the Rhythm forward with Relentless energy or laying back with subtle finesse Jeff picaro's playing always struck the perfect balance between power and Nuance to be so young and to be so bad with his pocket his his his soulfulness from the time he came on till 38 age of 38 he was I will say one of the best recording drummers I've ever heard in my life uh there he could do anything and and it was beautiful I won't say it was perfect but it was always beautiful what he did there was something special about Jeff's drumming with Bruce Springsteen recalling he had a tremendous Beauty to his playing that went beyond craft and precision into the realm of the spirit it was with that spirit that he graced and blessed my music he was a soulman this fact wasn't lost on the great Vinnie Kuda either Jeff was like one of a kind man he had the greatest time feel it can be imitated but never never exactly like you can play Rosanna really well but the way he did it is just on this other plane that right it just belongs to him it only belongs to him but Jeff's Legacy extends far beyond his drumming in the book it's about time written by Robin flans legendary guitarist Peter Frampton recalls playing in the studio with him was always a great adventure he would invent stuff no one else would come up with making the song feel amazing yes he was one of the best drummers ever but it was his humility and caring for those around him that made him one of the best people ever too after his passing in 1992 only age 38 a tribute concert was held in Jeff's honor with friends from the music scene performing and paying their respects this is a guy who gave with Incredible generosity to everybody as everybody has said he was one of the most generous giving people I ever met and when he came to a session he would light up the room with enthusiasm one of the best Drovers in the world and uh definitely the groove Master Jeff's been a touchstone for me we're all here tonight because of Jeff and Jeff is here tonight because of us he was the best friend I ever had and if it wasn't for him I'd probably be uh selling french fries at McDonald's you know what I mean taught me everything about music and a lot about life the thing about him is he was so enthusiastic he was kind of a lightning rod at at sessions and uh his personality came out in his drumming but he had that real popping sound that was unmistakably him you know Jeff also tried to give back to the drum Community whenever he could whenever we were touring he'd always managed to put some kind of Clinic together for us to play at he went out of his way to meet young drummers and help them in a spare time that's really unusual because it's very tiring on the road many of his peers have since shared their memories but Vinnie kudas in particular speaks to his special character I mean he would do things like one time I was playing at the big potato and he um we we're playing and I closed my eyes and and um I think maybe I had sweat in my eyes or something in my high hat broke and I opened my eyes and all of a sudden he must have somehow jumped I don't know how he got there but I looked down and he's on the floor looking up at me laughing fixing my high laughing he hee it over there to him was like a big joke you know but but it was I mean he was just that that that kind of guy in recent years Toto's band members have gone back and Revisited old recordings uncovering some deep cuts that feature Jeff strumming ultimately his legacy lives on through all the records he made over the years you know we were remastering all the new albums you we listened from the first album every track in chronological order up until all the end of the Sony records in the mastering room and like we hadn't ever sat in a room ever and done that and and you know there was it brought us to Absolute laughter and brought us to a lot of Tears because of missing our brothers who aren't here all these years later man go on 26 years Jeff's been gone man you know but his playing is uh every bit as good drummers around the world continue to study and try to replicate Jeff's Dynamic and intricate drumming the fact that so many drum covers Rosanna in particular are uploaded to social media is a testament to Jeff's lasting Legacy on recent tours Toto have dedicated the song wings of time off the album Kingdom of desire to Jeff and now his brother Mike as well who passed away in 2015 we're going to play an old song here for you this is a special song to us cuz it's a dedication song the first dedication goes to our dear brother Jeff who's always with us in our hearts and I'm playing and our second brother back home in Los Angeles Michael picaro there's one for him too come [Applause] [Music] on shortly after Jeff's passing his brother Mike joked Jeff had a takech charge attitude with rhythm an intense gift for moving things along in the music he touched and in his life it's just like Jeff to go ahead of everyone just to make sure it was cool up there for the rest of us he loved music through and through using the drums as a vehicle to express his unique personality though simple this one quote of Jeff's is powerful and words for any drummer to live by the best thing for drummers is to have fun even if you're falling apart inside you have a great Outlet to
