Can Drum Machines Sound Human?

So I’m into drummers. I’ve got my favorites. One who kind of flies under the radar is Jeff Porcaro, the drummer for Toto, but an extremely accomplished session musician. As Wikipedia quotes, his drumming pretty much defined late-70s and 80s pop. In 1982, Michael McDonald released I Keep Forgettin’. The track is smooth, soulful, and […]
