Does anybody knows what kind of setup he had? User:Woden —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.197.67.120 (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biased.

This article is so biased. Things like-

1) From the start of his career, Porcaro was viewed as one of the music industry's top drummers, possessing an impeccable sense of rhythm as well as a versatility that bridged virtually every style.

2) During his 20's, he played on hundreds of albums, including several for Steely Dan. Where are the sources for this? Listed reference: Jeff Porcaro discography on Toto official website

3) Porcaro is thought of today as one of the most innovative drummers of his generation, and an example to other musicians who seek to absorb and blend a wide array of musical styles. (I'm taking this one out.)

4) Richard Marx dedicated the song "One Man" to him and said Jeff was the best drummer he had ever worked with. Where is the source for Richard Marx saying this? Added reference: liner notes state that quote on Richard Marx album "Paid vacation

Spinal Tap Reference

My gut tells me the part about his Death is not the place for a good funny reference, but i'm not sure where else to put it. In Spinal Tap, the bandmembers are asked what happened to all their drummers. One story is about a drummer dying in a "freak gardening accident".
