Yes he is a great musican no doubt. All the members of Toto are/were excellent session players. The drummer Jeff Porcaro also played with Box Scaggs and Steely Dan. He could play exotic beat time signatures like the “Rosanna Shuffle.” As well as a great drum teacher.
I really like Steve Lukather’s arrangements and phrasing on “Hold the line” one of my favorite solos of my generation. Plus he could play jazz, pop, hard rock you name it.
Yeah he’s a tasty player. I’ve been paying attention to him since the 80’s when I started playing guitar.
