Simplified Drum Sheet Music & Transcription "Afraid of Love" by Toto (Toto IV, 1982)

This drum arrangement is carefully transcribed to be simplified, yet authentic, preserving the essential feel and structure of the original recording while making it accessible to intermediate-level drummers or even beginners who are ready for a challenge. Every major groove, fill, and rhythmic accent is captured with precision, while maintaining a clear, easy-to-read format that helps performers quickly understand and execute the parts. Its ideal for practice, study, performance, or education.
"Afraid of Love" is a deep cut that showcases the full strength of Totos musicianship, featuring driving guitar riffs, tight drum patterns by the legendary Jeff Porcaro, and intense vocal lines. The drums are a highlight of the track, with dynamic control, groove mastery, and punchy fills throughout. This transcription brings those drum parts to life in a way that is both educational and fun to play.
