I cannot say how much I enjoyed watching this. Kid's a solid drummer and I love how much she was into it.

"When your bass player's flat and your drummer drags,
Don't you wish you had a fag."

Sex coerced and sex under false pretenses are two different things im pretty sure. False pretenses being some kind of untrue representation/lie. You slept with me and i had lied about having a girlfriend or i was the drummer in the band. Defiantly not rape. Coerced on the other hand, "persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats", sounds exactly like rape.

I totally agree, John Bonham was a totally amazing drummer and his untimely death was such a loss to music; as were the early deaths of Marc Bolan and Jimi Hendrix. I would love to have heard how their music evolved.

There are few drummers in the world that can compare to John Bonham, one of those few is Neil Peart of the Canadian rock legends RUSH. There was a article a few years back in Rolling Stone magazine which listed him as number 4 (Bonham was number 1!!). I think Keith Moon was second, although I don't know why. Peart is far better!! I can't remember who was third.

Thank you for this Oritteropo! Keep the beat mate!

oritteropo Sifted the first video I saw of Polyphonics *related=https://videosift.com/video/What-Makes-John-Bonham-Such-a-Good-Drummer when I got deep in and finally Sifted this one... That's a great one too.

Seriously *skillful
Could maybe use a better song, he seemed like he could handle a Skwisgaar solo, and drummer dude was an animal!

She's very tight but I don't wonder if this is a performance so practiced as to be muscle memory. Like that one person everyone knows that can play one song on the piano so well it's amazing but ask them to play anything else and they simply cant. 'Oh I've been practicing this one song... for years'.

There's a reason the some drummers on youtube, etc, have a big following and others that appear as good, do not. It's because those drummers release new performances all the time with completely different styles and genres of music just NAIL it.

Criticalthud is completely right on this subject as well. I was self-taught myself but always played to my strengths, what I learned to.. metal. Until I got older and fell out of that scene and realized I wasn't nearly as good a drummer as my youth had led me to believe. It took a long time but I changed that.

My first instrument was the drums and I would rather listen to my neighbor's dog bark all day then hear most drum solos. She's competent and has done her homework but it's still as formulaic and predictable as most drum solos are.

Now THIS is a drum solo, Dennis Davis was Bowie's drummer for a number of years and I still crank this 8 minute solo 40 years after it was recorded in 1976. I have yet to hear any musician top this solo on any instrument, for my money.

Agreed. "Talent" I think can be thought of as something akin to enthusiasm, rather than some kind of innate ability.

It's probably true to say that most of us are not cut out to be drummers, or theoretical mathematicians and such.

But I think this is only really because we do not care enough to practice sufficiently, or take enough care and attention in how we go about it to become truly good.

We lack the same "talent", but I don't think there's anything really mysterious about it.

She's good, but like 99% of drummers she uses the cymbals way too much. To me it's annoying.
