Hmm, that advice changes things ... would it be Toto's Africa? That's the only hit I can think of with that pulse.
But there's cowbell and Jeff uses sticks as well ...
Well, I need to give a little direction on this, if only to save everyone the agony of trying to figure out which Gadd or Porcaro track it is; it's not either of them. You probably haven't heard of this drummer before.

So think one hit wonder?
No hints, this one's really not too hard.
Fine... ONE hint: focus on those last 3 kick/hat beats.

I almost posted that earlier as a guess, but Jeff plays a distinctive tom fill between the verse and chorus that is missing from the above clip.
Also, this is an interesting music lesson.
It seems every few months or so, someone posts a question about how to copyright their drum parts, with some claim of all the time they spent "writing" their drum parts, and/or how to keep someone else from using their parts. And the answer is always, you can't; drum parts are not covered by copyright laws, and if you're coming up with beats and fills to someone else's song, it's not considered "writing" anyway.
Bermuda's "guess the song" series is an excellent example of why. If we had the same length except of the melody or vocal line, most of us would get it right away. But strip away the melody, the harmonies and vocals, down to just drums, and it's no longer an easy to identify piece of music.
Or at least, I thought that was interesting.
My question is: How are getting these tracks isolated? It seems you'd have to have access to the master tapes.

If I tell you, it's only going to make it harder.
Which, I think I'd enjoy!
The artist/band has had many hits!
There - be careful what you wish for!
