- It was a big honour for me to be included in Episode 3 of Sky Arts Series 'The Art Of Drumming'. I was invited to talk about Keith Moon and demonstrate his style. In this video there's no talking, only drumming! Thanks to The Who for creating great music.

I don't think most people can really appreciate how difficult this is to play; Keith Moon was as far from a conventional drummer as you could get. He did not play to establish a rhythm, he played along with the vocals or the main melody of the song. To him, drums were a lead instrument and he used his incredible speed to place fills in places where they weren't supposed to be, but he made them work. This song is full of them and the combination of constantly playing intricate fills along with keeping the beat with the added element of what is essentially a drum solo towards the end of the piece makes "Won't Get Fooled Again" one of the most complex drumming performances ever recorded - and she crushes it! Really amazing.
yes, Pete Townshend always stated that he (Pete) mainly was responsible for keeping the rhythm, and that Moon was 'something else'. Keith was indeed a lead drummer, just like Entwistle was a lead bass guitarist
@Jack D'Ripa can you do it? I can't. I've been a musician for 35 years and worked with some very talented people. This drummer is very very good. Watch what she does with other bands stuff before you make a poor judgement.
@Jack D'Ripa how many likes did your video of this get? 🤔
@Jack D'Ripa could you do it when you were 19 years old? 🤔
Very interesting comment. When I was trying to learn keys I had to "unlearn" following the vocals, I'm mainly a poet and the difference between words-with-music and music-with-words gobsmacked me. Moon is very much doing "talking drums" in this piece and it's an enlightening observation.
Sina: I'm a 64-year-old, retired TV/video producer from NY & L.A. Worked with a lot of musicians. Seen more concerts of more top bands than I can remember. I started following your covers & originals about 3 years ago. Only wrote one comment before today, early on, telling you how extraordinary I thought your potential was. I fell behind on tracking your stuff for the past few months, but I'm finally catching up.
After watching this, I can barely find the words. It's not about potential anymore, it's about mastery. There was a point -- I didn't note the time, I should have -- where you closed your eyes, leaned back, then threw yourself forward... and, suddenly, your hands were everywhere, and you became more than just the sum of your training and natural talent. You entered a space where you could do no wrong. I saw it. I've seen it before in the best drummers -- including Keith Moon. It was pure Zen.
You have graduated. This doesn't mean you won't continue to learn. It doesn't mean you won't get better. It simply means that there is nothing ahead of you now but greatness. I think it's time for you to gather the right musicians around you, write some more material, and take your gift on the road. The world awaits. I would love to see you live.
Thank you for the rare opportunity to be your audience and your fan, Sina.
Thanks so much, Russel, appreciated a lot!!
You're welcome. The pleasure is all mine. :)
Russell, I could not agree more. I first saw Sina's videos about 6 months ago. The first video of hers I saw was her reasoning why Ringo was a great drummer. I always thought of him being good, but not among the greats. When that video was done some 15 minutes or so later, she got me believing Ringo may have just been a great drummer. From there I went on to check this young lady's videos.
My favorite band is The Who. I have always thought Moon to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest. I saw them with Moon at Madison Square Garden a couple of times in the 70's. I came across this video here and sat in awe. Sina gave respect to Moon. She did not create her own interpretation, she emulated him. The same can be said about her other videos and the artists she pays homage to.
There is no doubt Sina has a bright and wonderful future ahead of her. Her collaboration with other artists of her age group gives me hope that the music we grew up with, what we know as classic rock, will continue to be passed down for generations to come. Russell, you and I are of that generation that witnessed first hand the beginnings of Rock 'n Roll. With that said, I know you mentioned her writing some new stuff and I agree, I would also love to see her in a classic rock band that played the songs of our youth.
Peace.
@@Jimmy110459 Well said, Jimmy. Just move over, an' let Sina take over!

Sina is an awesome drummer. Period. End of sentence. Do not add "for a girl." Do not add "for someone so young." Do not in any way diminish her talent by such offensive limitations. Her talent transcends age, sex, or any other pigeonholes. She is simply a mind-boggling, amazing drummer. I enjoy every moment of performances.
Wishing you continued success and happiness, Sina.
Didn't see anyone doing that except for you?
@@carguy3460 LMAO!!
nothing more / nothing less but one of the best!!!!!
Edward was preemptively saying that, before anyone mentioned those titles and applied them to her. How could you not understand that? 🤷🏻♂️😬🙄🤦🏻♂️
Well said. Best. Period.
Keith must be smiling from up there with this perfect cover! Brilliant! The British top is such a nice touch too!
There is something satisfying about watching this talented drummer flying all over the kit, bouncing off the stool, and throwing herself into the song. She looks like she's having fun!
Yea she's really into it. Not just going through the motions.
My point exactly. Check out my comment.
Do not diminish her talent. This young lady is real. Breathtakingly real!
I come back to hear this from time to time. This should have 32 million views, not 3.2. Keith Moon wasn't a drummer, he was a controlled explosion. I've never heard a drum cover of this song that came even close, and this is absolute perfection. Brilliantly played.
I've been a drummer for a long time, and Keith was my inspiration. Sina lays this perfectly, and with so much heart! This is literally the best drum cover I've ever seen.
RE: "I come back to hear this from time to time."
Me too. And each time I am rendered speechless !!!
She absolutely kills it. 💯
The Who should give her a shot playing with them.
Keith Moon Reincarnated?
At 49 years old, it's nice to see a young lady who appreciates good music and also has the talent of a superstar. It's crazy to see her play the drums.
She needs to team up with other bands. And hit the road
@@johnkulpowich5260
why ? she's goin it alone, virtually !!!
Sina is a good example of the rewards that come with self discipline and focus, in her case being an extraordinary musician. But I think the biggest winner is the thousands of people who get to hear her play.
I’m just listening to this for the fourth time, it’s really brilliant. You really FEEL this piece and you’re playing it as well as Keith Moon, (but without wrecking your drum kit). John Entwhistle’s extraordinary bass line in the background helps put you right there on stage with The Who and I hope your talented rendering gets heard by the remaining band members.
Phil: Very well said!
Rare talent. +
HUNDREDS of thousands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎
Sina love
I also have to add I like how she has a flat layout of the kit like Moon’s. The stamina it takes to get through this song is supernatural.
You just know the feeling paid Drums since I was 5
:)she's nearly super human n flawless in this performance n every recording on You Tube, The Queen of :Drums ... I Absolutely C:oncur J E Tone !
What could any Who lover say? OMG!! I’m 72 and this performance blows my mind….perfection.
Keith Moon was considered off dead center because of his ability to add more than any other drummer to a song. Watching you play proved he was beyond all the rest. It would appear you are standing next to him. I'm so happy I got to see and hear you play. What a privilege and an honor to hear your talent. Thank you.
Chicago's Danny Seraphine had that gift as well
@@Nigel0813
ANDY WARD von der britischen Progrock-Band CAMEL hatte diese Gabe ebenfalls !
All of her Moon covers are out of this world. My appreciation of Moon only grows watching her play.
The biggest "Drummer- Queen! Sorry, i love her. But i'm 61❤❤!!
Never seen a better Rock-Girl like Sina!!❤
Having seen Keith Moon do this live, more than once, I can only tip my hat. What a talent.
There is simply NO way i will ever get tired of watching this video. This video melts away sadness and depression. There is NO way to not feel alive and energized after watching this. Thank you for such an amazing 'pick me up' of a video.

Bravo !! that was great you ROCK!!
I agree! Sina's enthusiasm and spirit in taking on these songs is so uplifting. She is amazing and inspiring to watch!
@@jackvictoryspartan499OKAY
Sina posted this video 5 years ago today (9 Nov 2023). It became my favorite then and it's still my favorite today even though she has done many great ones since then. It would be nice if Mike did a behind the scene video in it. There are many amazing things that Sina did while preforming it and it would be nice to see them in Hi Def.
Such a musical drummer. Her touch is insane, very very fine. She doesn't beat, she plays the instrument. I love her so. Being a pretty little girl is part of the draw, there's nothing wrong with that and it's not a cut-down, just a compliment. But the thing is how intuitive she is on the set. She's a champion. Her timing on these Keith Moon bits is perfection.
As an old drummer who sadly can't hold a candle to Sina and also was fortunate enough to actually have seen the Who live in the 60's (when they used to smash their instruments) twice, I am TOTALLY amazed by her raw talent. At first when I saw her stick positions, I thought oh boy this is going to be rough, but soon threw that thought out the window once she started playing. Not sure how or where you learned to play, but you probably surpassed and smoked everyone around you. Thank you so much for taking some real classics to levels that few have ever gone. Rock-on girl!!!
Awesome experiences you’ve had
Great words of encouragement. :-)
You said it Steve!
I love this song, I love Keith Moon and his style, and I am really moved and excited by this perfect performance, it's like I could see Keith Moon playing. Thank you so much. Keep on rocking, you don't have just so much talent, you got the very attitude.
--
Hi Steve - like you I was there - I was in a warm-up band called Macabre for the Who for about six months before they became really big in 1964 - so I saw Keith play a lot - so Sina is much neater than Keith and way more efficient. Keith could ring out a tee-shirt and 3/4 fill a pint glass he put that much into it.
You know damned well that any drummer from today would play this with a straight beat. She's a beast. Plays like Moon perfectly with runs and fills everywhere. I'm from that generation and I bow to her.
She is one of the best in my heart 🤠
Bless you Sina good night and marry Christmas Doug knoke 🤠
Old Who fan here. She kills it! I mean really! Amazing!
Großen Respekt
She’s exceptionally brilliant. She nailed it. 👏👏👏
I'm convinced there has never been a song recorded that she can't cover with absolute perfection. She is a talent that needs to be recognized.
Talent at it`s finest
There are no words!!!
uhhhh.....she IS being recognized. and much further down the road than most at this point. just chill and dig.
new world man..by Rush would be a challenge
As good as she is, and she is VERY good, Carl Palmer's work on Karn Evil 9 is probably beyond her capabilities, which is no knock on her, as his work is pretty much beyond anyone else's capabilities. I would love to see her try, though. And Bonham's Moby Dick.
I had my doubts starting this video. I am a huge Who fan, and I know that nobody replaces Moon. This actually brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Sina for putting your heart and soul into this. I am amazed. Thank you!!!
Brad....I too am a big Who fan. Saw them a few times back in the day here in NY. I consider Quadrophenia one of the greatest if not the greatest rock album ever. I digress. When I saw Sina practically emulate Moon I was surprised. It is a tough song to drum like only Moon did. You see Sina grin at the interlude and again at the end. She too realizes she just played something special and nailed it.
You are one awesome drummer bad to the bone i was wonder if you would do the song get ready by rare earth
Fuckin' moved me to tears..
@@filipporimondi7857 Me too...
Who the fuck are you? Someone people need to impress?
My name is Tim. I live in New Port Richey, Florida. I watch this video at least two times a day. It really helps me get through my day.
I'm at a loss for words. I'm fortunate to have come across this. It's inspired and inspiring. Thank you.
great job brings back a lot of good memories rock on SINA
If you can do Moon you're a titan. I've watched this a dozen or more times. It's my happy place. You, Sina, rock into this in pure Moon style. Hugs. Keep on doing you!
if You can do Moon you're a titan . wise words.
Bravissima! Just like that was the spirit with which Keith played the drums. The drum had a dynamics according to the progress of the song and emotions it only served to keep time but it was an instrument to be played at 360'...a live instrument that transmits emotion. This was how it was played in the 60s/70s. Now few drummers play it like this with their soul. Bye god luck.
Hi hi hi ...aTitan???. so over the top comments...Nothing to say after that...
I've only seen it maybe 6 times but it'll be your 12 before too long.
shees good drummer,the only thing is that Keith moon never used the high hat.
You should be proud of yourself. You're playing drums with the best drummers rock and roll has ever produced and you're right there with them. If I could give you more than one thumbs up I would.
The best drummer rock and roll ever produced is John Bonham. Keith Moon comes in second or tied for first.
I like it in any musician to be proud of their talents, but she moves, in a way I can tell, so humbly. No sign of arrogance like the Keith Moon we know. No offense meant to one of my all-time favorite drummer.
Days and nights
@@simonmadi1177 I have to agree on John Bonham being the best.
Sina, your drum playing is awesome. You have such a God given talent with those drums. You don’t see talent like this everyday❤
I think it's impossible to watch this video without smiling. Absolutely well played.
I've must have played this more than 1000 times over the last few years, my fav Sina vid. Never fails to fire me up.
Great job. Keith will be looking down and smiling
I think he would, too.
It would be insane to hear her do some Gene Krupa covers.
from the pub
This may very well be the first drummer in music history where the bands will need to audition for her!!!
Haha! Priceless!
So good
I agree this young lady is best drummer oit there
@@MrPeterbrock Brockie? Is that you mate? I thought you were dead in a car race!
Never heard of ringos all starr band loll. He might have auditioned the band. And last time i checked he was a drummer.
She will be second to ringo so its still awesome if you ask me hahaha
I'm 60. Been a fan of The Who from aged 13. You did a superb job 👏
I love how you can see the rhythm moving through her whole body. She's feeling ALL of the music. And on that last note, I wanted to jump up and applaud and cheer the spectacular SINA!
Damn she's good. Great demonstration of Keith Moon's unique drumming style. Well done.
I love the Ringo seßion and this too. You show the incredible musicality of the drummers.
It's Friday - TGIF - No Foolin'
THE SONG - "Won't Get Fooled Again" was written by Pete Townshend. It was originally intended for another rock opera project called 'Lifehouse' which was eventually abandoned. Recording began as early as March 1971 in New York but, except for Townshend's Lowrey organ / ARP synth track, was re-done at various locations in the UK with recording engineer Glyn Johns helping in the production throughout April and May.
Keith Moon had to carefully synchronize his drum playing with the synthesizer, while Townshend and Entwistle played electric guitar and bass. Townshend said, "“Keith could play to a prerecorded tempo exceptionally well, something that every good drummer can do today, but was unheard of in 1971.”
The track was finally mixed by Johns on May 28. It was released as a 3:35 single on June 25, 1971 in the UK and in July in the US. The full length 8:32 version appeared as the final track of 'Who's Next', the band's fifth studio album, which was released in the US on Aug 14, 1971 and eleven days later in the UK.
"Won't Get Fooled Again" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #76 on July 17, 1971. It peaked at #15 on Sep 18, 1971, briefly holding that place until the 25th, and was last seen at #33 on Oct 9, 1971 spending 13 weeks on the chart. The album 'Who's Next', with the long version, peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart on Sep 11, 1971 and spent a total of 42 weeks on that chart.
The song's lyrics describe a revolution - the verses tell of an uprising, an overthrow, and the realization that, in the end, nothing really changed - "the new boss, same as the old boss". Whoever takes power becomes corrupt. In his biography, Townshend said the song was anti-establishment but that revolution was pointless - "It's not going to change anything in the long run, and people are going to get hurt."
THE DRUMMER - Keith Moon discovered drums around age 13, playing first on a friend's set and then a cheap set his father bought. He was completely self-taught. He reportedly never took lessons, couldn't read music and rarely, if ever, practiced. He simply seized the sticks and began to play. He started playing professionally with surf bands and was a fan of The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, and Elvis. He was also influenced by big band drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. In 1972, he told 'Melody Maker' "I had just been copying straight from the records, but with the Who I had to develop a style of my own." He also developed a penchant for showmanship and his excesses, particularly when fueled by alcohol and drugs, were legendary.
Not only was his style unique, so were his equipment choices. His setup sometimes consisted of 18 drums. He preferred the kick drum front heads off, used a combination of single headed and double headed toms, many cymbals, and his hi-hat was permanently locked in an almost closed position.
He drummed with wild abandon. Often, instead of a regular groove, he played so many complex rolls and fills that he seemed to be soloing. He hated drum solos, telling 'Melody Maker' in 1975, “Drum solos are the most boring time-consuming things. I don’t think of the drums as a solo instrument. Drums are there to set the beat for the music.”
Despite that, Moon remarked that many drummers “don’t paint with the kit. That’s what I like doing. I like painting, adding color and effects and shocking people. Constantly, while I’m playing, I’m thinking two bars ahead. That gives me a chance, if I’m in the middle of a roll, to do something I’ve already thought out so I can get out of the roll…”
Sina has covered Moon's playing twice, in "My Generation" and "Pinball Wizard". Still, it's always a challenge and Rosanna asked her about it.
RO: Compared to the restrained precision of Roger Taylor, Keith Moon was the exact opposite. What was your approach for this cover?
SINA: It's very hard for me to explain how I try to cover Keith Moon. I try to understand why he did the things he did, how it felt for him. I asked myself: How would I play when I had waaay too much energy and I didn't know where to put it. Keith put all of his spare energy into the drumset. I listened to Won't Get Fooled Again and tried to memorise the fills I liked most. Keith gets wilder towards the end of the song and I also tried to do so. But most of the fills I played are improvised and more 'in the style of' Keith Moon.
RO: Keith's drum kit and setup were so unique. You use a more traditional kit. How did you compensate?
SINA: I never played a drumkit without a hihat and can't really imagine what that would be like. When I cover Keith Moon I forget that he has such a weird setup and just play what I hear and feel on my regular drumkit.
FUN FACTS: The title isn't actually used in the song since "don't" is substituted for "won't" in the lyrics. Portions of "Won't Get Fooled Again" were used as the theme song of the popular US TV show 'CSI:Miami' during its 10 season run.
THE ICON - Niki is back in charge, to everyone's relief!
Thank you for the history of the song & as usual an excellent drum cover of an iconic ROCK song
Another one of your always fine jobs sharing background info - by that providing additional delight in Sina's renditions. Thanks again, Juliet! - Best wishes - Stephen
Juliet and Rosanna: you are the beautiful birdsong rising above the cacophony that is the internet and I love you!
Hope Ro's interviews become a fixture in your column. Finally, an interviewer that asks good questions! Bravo.
Are you a professional writer with the IQ of a genius? Each Friday ,when you are able to put out an in depth analysis... it makes watching Sina performance infinitely more meaningful. Bye
TGIF, Juliet and Ro! Very intriguing and complex history behind this one. Very nice and easy to read though, thanks to your impeccable writing style! And the interview is even more fascinating! :)
My God. WOW. She is crazy. One of the best drummers in the world.
This is an amazing cover and tribute to the world's greatest rock drummer....not a lot of people can do what this young lady just did.. she damn near has the same thunder and emotion that Kieth Moon put into this song....I am 70 year old bass player and I am totally impressed and just blown away
With this young ladies drumming....very well done.
Sina, Keith is giving you a standing ovation!!
After watching most of your drum sets, I truly believe you could sit in as drummer with any band on the face of the earth ( or any other planet) !
In 1987, when i was 29, I was in Willich/Dusseldorf on business and fell for a girl from Krefeld (sadly, it didnt work out). Now I am a 63 year old man watching my computer screen in NY and falling for another Krefeld girl long distance. You are awesome Sina... the good news is you wont be able to break my heart, but it will beat to your incredible rhythms!!
I can’t believe I just found this channel totally by accident. What an amazingly beautiful and talented young lady. ❤
Welcome to the obsession. Over the past 5 years Sina has been the most viewed drummer on CZcams (245 Million more views over #2). She has posted over 500 videos on her channel and her collaborator's channels; more than 200 are Classic Rock. Go to her Home Page and have fun exploring.
I've been drumming since I was 12 (65 now) and you are very, very good at your craft. Thank you for making this old man smile!
Wowzer Sina.... talk about high energy, talk about a performance. This is one of your best and best part, not only did you slay this song, you seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. Your sticks were a blur..you came off your seat a few times.. Did you hurt those pretty new drums??? I have never seen you hit so hard, what power for a tiny girl. I watched you face..you seemed somewhere else..someplace special that that few drummers ever enter.. I sit here and laugh it was so good... you are an elite drummer and up with the vert best. I know you would never agree to that comment but to me...and many others you are, and you worked your butt off to be there. OUTSTANDING Sina. Spot on perfection, seriously. You tracked Keith Moon perfectly. What a treat you are for the eyes and ears.. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO... I LOVED THIS.. You, young lady, are on a roll !!!!
Frank Brown ò
What a great description Frank. With all that is going on with her, you could write a book!
Am adrummer with four daughters. I think this is the daughter. I was meant to have
I love watching how much she enjoys music from a different generation. The greatest music of all!
This gave me chills this morning,, it’s one of the first covers my brother 🙏showed me. I’ve commented previously but had to share because it was this one where instantly became an admirer of Sina’s talent and became a very proud and thankful Patreon supporter. I miss my brother “Billy” but each new video since Dire Straits walk of life cover Sina honors my brother and I’m forever grateful ❤
So so hard to emulate Keith Moon. Nobody played like him, not even himself on a different day! But girl you nailed it. Awesome! I'll tip my hat....
Isn't she great I would love to see her play with Rodger and Pete
Make a painter happy.
She sure did.
Kenny Jones couldn't even do Moon justice.
It's true....it's imposible to emulate with dignity the powerfull style of Mr. Moon....
Sina spends more time off her seat in this video than any other I've seen. A true tribute to the energy of the Moon man. An outstanding performance by Sina.
Check out her Channel. In - a - Gadda- da - Vida Iron Butterfly 17 Min. and 19 Sec.
Amazing. It also makes me think just what a great band The Who was with Keith Moon, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey, and Pete Townshend. Each masterfully adding to the song. Watching Sina also reminds me how integral the drums are to rock music. Great to see young folks like Sina are carrying on the tradition and adding to it
Sina, I don't believe I've ever seen you play so hard. Amazing job.
There are only two differences between Sina and Keith: Sina doesn't play drunk and doesn't smash her drums after playing.
Timing's tighter - blasphemous but true!
And Sina does use the hi-hat. Keith didn't :D
or drive her rolls royce into a swimming pool
Keith used a hi-hat on the Who Are You record.
Or throw televisions in the hotel pool
You are simply the best drummer I have ever heard and I am 71 so I have heard a lot. Keep up the good work.
I came back to this video on the anniversary of its release and watched it again. Even though I know the song really well I’m amazed at how Sina gets those powerful strokes in after the extended synthesiser parts. As an indication of how energetically she’s hitting the drums, there’s a bit toward the end where she has a moment to move her hi-hat back into position. Absolutely brilliant ❤
Lee, Sina has said that when she makes a video she usually does several takes and uses the best parts in the final. I have watched this video well over 500 times and my guess is that this was done in 2 or 3 parts. If you watch the Hi-hat position at 6:25 and again after the break at 6:59 you will find it at the same location. I suspect that they switched to the last segment because it was the best and most dramatic with Sina flying up off her seat. The Hi-hat move was just a bonus. There are a few other interesting things that happen in this video, like a miss on the right crash, but it's still my favorite and one of her best.
No other word for this but perfection. U completely nailed Keith Moon's genius. U did him so proud it was almost I was watching him bang away at his drums.
The only irritating thing here is:
YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO SIMPLE!
But WOW, this was a great treat! Thank you, girl. You RULE!
Very true :-)
I hate it when a 14 yr. old girl makes Keith Moon drumming look easy ....
This young lady not only did the song justice, but uncannily recreated the drumming style of Keith Moon himself! Keith never used a high-hat, only cymbals. In this video you see Sina keeping her foot on the high-hat very still, thus using it like it was just another cymbal. She also matches Keith's frenetic style of drumming to a T (Arms flailing, bouncing on the stool, etc.)! All she needed was wild, wide-open eyes, and she would have been Keith Moon incarnate! Excellent job young lady .... I tip my high-hat to you! LOL
Okay, what I should have said is .... Keith did have a hi-hat in later years, but he rarely used it. Here is an article from MusicRadar titled "10 things you didn't know about Keith Moon."
"He didn't use hi-hats much …
A unique element to Keith’s (early) set-ups was the lack of hi-hat. He did add a hi-hat in later years, but it wasn’t a big part of his drumset. Predominantly he used a lot of ride and a lot of crash. A good example of this is in the ‘Who Are You’ video of the band in the studio, and for the hi-hat 16ths, Keith is leaning over to the hi-hat set to his right."
She definitely channeled Keith Moon, mannerisms, you would think it was him if she was not so Cute !
Wow!! She looks like Keith Moon with longer hair.. the energy is amazing and the drumming so taught. Keith would love watching you do this number, Sina. Awesome!!
She's a little whip of a thing and made such a beautiful sound of all those drums!! Glad I found her!! Big fan! Im a Wno girl so I like seeing other Who girls!!!!! Awesome! Fun too.
This girl is so full of charming, youth and beauty, besides her great talent.

I think your totality is awesome. Talent, music choices, mixes, production & entertainment value are far ahead. You are truly special.
A year later and it literally makes me laugh because this is SO freakin' amazing! Geez--this is a masterclass on playing a Who song and a GREAT tribute to Keith. Unreal!
This is my absolute favourite cover by Sina - I even play it in the background whenever I am working! Let's have even more covers from The Who please?
It's really hard to cover a song by a drummer who has a style that is completely impossible to copy. You did a great job.
I agree. She must be channeling Keith. No other explanation, except, perhaps, that she’s just that good.
Many musicians end up far surpassing those who’ve practiced their craft longer than them. When she was 14 it was appropriate to say ‘good job’ and ‘some day you’ll be great’ and now she’s surpassed most of the musicians who compliment her.
ya Akarn,,whatever that means...you suck ...you should really follow the videos..
For sure......Sina is definitely talented.
Very impressive....and she has charisma....somerging NOT everyone has. Sometime ago i watched a young boy playing the drums...he was very good like her....
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WHAT WAS THE YOUNGSTERS NAME?
HES ABOUT 12 NOW....A BLOND HAIR DRUMMER.
Thanks for your help. SORRY I HOPE THIS IS NOT TOO VAGUE.....SEEING THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF YOUNG DRUMMERS......However none the less.....thanks for helping.

I agree. I have never hear a drummer that could do a decent cover of Keith Moon. At the last part of the song, it was exactly Keith Moon's sound. People like this can play within the first few hours of picking up an instrument. Sina plays bass too. And likely Guitar and who knows what else. I just remembered she sings.
I think everyone should remember that Keith Moon was considered one of the best rock drummers ever and Sina nails this song perfectly..... Just Fantastic !!!!
Il it wasn’t for the long hair, i would swear that it was Keith playing .So good.😊
I think a lot of us are aware of how well you can play, but this video shows how capable you are at expressing the proper attitude of a song. Please don’t stop. You’re showing us something special.
I often hesitate to comment as I just don't have the vocab to do you justice Sina. To say I get so much joy from your music and appreciate you so much is totally underselling it. Impressive is not good enough a word for your outstanding skills, and well to be speachless is not uncommon when in awe of all you do. Thank you Sina. Now I know of you music would just never be the same without you. I can't thank you enough for enriching music for me and so very many others. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Sina never fails to amaze me. You won’t find a single song from your favorite artist she doesn’t nail down. Truly Incredible!
Keith Moon himself couldn't replicate what he did on that day, at that moment, on that take, on that song. You're ability to dissect drum compositions and reproduce them is amazing.
This young lady's talent brought tears to my eyes. Her talent is awesome. What makes it all more powerful is her obvious passion for the music.
she brought tears too
funny you said that--me too
Best drum cover I’ve ever seen on CZcams. There was a point where you entered that zone where master musicians go...and channeled Mr. moon. Just fucking amazing!
Sina I thought that you would appreciate this story from me, back in July 1970 at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago (considered one of the finest music halls for acoustics in the world) I saw The Who perform the entire Rock Opera Tommy along with songs from Who's Next! Over 52 years ago I was forever mesmerized by this band and have never witnessed another concert that came remotely close to the sound and power of that night! But now when I listen and watch you play Who songs I am returned to that night because you display the same energy and power that I witnessed that night, you make me feel like it was yesterday that I saw them play. THANK YOU for returning me to my past joys, love your
work!!!!
This is about the tenth time I've watched this video, and of all vids by this unbelievably talented
young lady, this homage to Keith Moon is the most outstanding.
Absolutely brilliant, and the Union Jack top is a wonderful choice.
Watching a girl totally own what is perceived to be a male bastion in rock music is so refreshing, I know
that there are some great female rock musicians, but to cover this number in such a devastatingly
effective manner is awesome.
Keep it up girl.
You really can't help but think Keith is up there somewhere --- smiling down on this young lady
WOW! What amazing talent. This girl is a rocker and when she sits behind her drum kit there is magic in her playing. A true musical genius.
Sina, i don't pretend to know anything about drums nor drumming. but i do know what i love to hear. you playing drums. you bring a huge grin to my face every time i hear you play. no wonder you like playing the Evans drums. with you playing them it's so awesome thank you.❤❤❤❤
Now that boys and girls,is how you do it ! What a performance! Sina, the best! YOU ROCK!!!!🥁🤟
Some people say that girls can't play the drums - here is ABSOLUTE proof that they can.
No I say they don't know what good drum playing is. And she is the best.
Dear Sina, this is an absolutely outstanding performance
A complement to Keith as I went to school with his son. A phenomenal drummer!!
Er...Keith had a daughter, Mandy, now resident in the US! A son?
No!
I get goosebumps, just watching Sina ROCK!
She did a fantastic cover on this, Keith Moon would have been delighted.
You kick ass! Keith would be proud. And you have a new fan. I wish you all the best.
Perfection with every beat, only Sina can really deliver.
Sina i LOVE your covers but this has to be one of my favorites. Keep rocking girl!!!!!!
Sina... What a great song to wake up to! When I saw the notification, my heart started beating faster in anticipation of what I knew was going to be a great video. I was not disappointed. I had to watch twice, right off, because my eyes teared up in sheer joy the first time, watching you pay tribute to Keith Moon.
I was 17 years old when this song came out. Playing in garage bands. We sucked so badly it hurt the ears! I had to play bass because no one else wanted to. We sound proofed my friends basement and played down there before I gave it up because I liked riding and working on motorcycles more.
But, to the point. We had a drummer who was a little younger than me by a year or two. But the sheer energy of this guy was incredible! His hero was of course Keith Moon. This kid was good. He was better by far than any of the rest of us were. Me and the guitarist were playing full stack Marshall and Ampeg tube amps. He easily kept up with us in volume un-miced. We didn't know how to, or could afford a proper set of mics for a drum kit. I'll never forget him. He broke so many skins from his animal attacks on them, we all pitched in and helped him keep his kit in order.
Any way, here we are today and you are playing a cover of what was the anthem of my generation. (No pun intended) I have not read anything but Juliet's comment yet but I'm sure most of them are saying the same as me. Great job Sina! You are truly a world class drummer. Aside from your training in a drum academy, you really listen to many other drummers to figure out what they are doing. Just like a guitarist studies other great and famous guitarists. You take the licks you want and incorporate them into your style. And you do have your own style. We have seen you can play anything. From Salsa to jazz to uncommon rhythm patterns. You can play anything. Sina, I wish all the success in the world for you. You truly deserve it.
Best Regards... 🎶
Thanks John, so nice!!
From someone old enough to have seen Keith drum: Thank You, Sina ... and ... Mind Blown, which is saying something
Amazing performance. Spectacular. Keith would be proud. I got the chills towards the end when he yells yeahhh!!!!
While Sina’s cover of Dance with the Devil is impressive for showing how super speedy timing is done on that number and with one drummer, this tribute to Moon is far more impressive because Moon was a “whack-a mole” controlled explosion of fills and half beats which is exemplified in the chaotic build up to the break, rather than the bursting power-finish which this number is popularised for. Those few seconds before the break are my favourite example of Moon’s brilliance. Beautifully reconstructed Sina.
Your best performance EVER!!! O M G. I bow to your greatness. I can't stop watching this.
Geez!...I can't believe how jaw dropping good this girl is!
I was in tears of joy.
This has to be my favorite Who song, undoubtedly for the percussion. I closed my eyes and saw Keith playing it. Sina has power and soul and of course, technique. She doesn't just play the tunes, she channels the artists. Every time I listen to her I learn something new. She is a breath of fresh air!
It would take me 50 years to learn to play that -- and I still wouldn't play it as well. And I'd be dead by then. Excellent job. This song is so complex, I doubt Keith Moon ever played it the same way twice.
you'd be correct, he never played this piece the same way twice. I've listened to so many different recordings and never did he play it the same way, including the solo before the big scream. That's the thing to note about Keith's drumming at all - He rarely played anything the same way twice, so you get a very different performance each time. Many people don't catch that.
Who the hell would give her thumbs down are you kidding me that was awesome good job Sina.
Just shows you there are haters everywhere!
It’s wanna be drummers out there that could only dream of playing like her. They know they will never amount to anything so they give her a thumbs down. Their day is complete now…🤣
This is THE greatest drum cover in the history of drum covers. Good Lord, that was flawless!
Hmmm I don't think FLAWLESS, but bleeding good. Bless her
Michael Yolch ... Come on Keith Moon has never been a drum genius... If you think HE was the best drummer, it just a joke. He did not have 1/100 of the drum technics than other drummer during the same period...At the end of the 60s, there was King Crimson...listen to the drummer...(album In the court of the Crimson King...) Also listen to the album « Birds of fire » with Billy Cobham as a drummer (end of the 60s or beginning of the 70s...Same thing with ELP, Carl Palmer the drummer...All of them and many many many others were much better than Keith Moon... This guy was so over evaluated, it’s incredible...
pierre Beaudoin Um...I never said he was the best drummer, whatsoever. I was complimenting her COVER of this song. Pay attention. Sheesh.
Michael Yolch ...you’re right...Sorry. Keith Moon is so often considered as THE drummer...(just have to read the comments here...) that I though you said the same...My error...
That has got to be so satisfying to channel into Keith Moon and become a pert of him for even a few minutes. She nailed this and I'm sure it took her weeks of dedication to say, " Ok, I'm ready".
Sina braucht nicht Wochen, um etwas neues einzustudieren.
Sie braucht in der Regel nur EIN PAAR STUNDEN, bis es perfekt sitzt.
Es lohnt sich auch noch andere Videos und eigene Stücke von ihr anzuschauen/anzuhören !
Absolutely the Best cover of this The Who song…Ever!!! To salt that “You rock, Sina” is an understatement!!!
Recently a pretty accomplished young drummer commented on Keith Moon’s art of drumming: “For me as a drummer when I hear a normal song I know what the groove is. And I can play it, I can imitate it. And that’s not like that when you hear a Keith Moon song. Every time he plays a song it’s different. [...] And I try to not memorize what he played on the track but to get the feeling that he had. He does very much tom fills. He also uses many cymbals at weird times.” With regard to his role in a band she added: “I don’t think he sees himself as a drummer or as a time keeper but as another melody instrument. He’s soloing all the time when he plays a song. He either plays nothing or he plays drum solos.”
Well Sina, today’s post would have made the perfect visual and audible comment on the lines cited above. The drums are a far cry from anything “normal” - be it 1971, be it today. One can feel the weird accents Keith (you) set(s) all through the song. I didn’t conduct a “stroke by stroke” comparison. But it is obvious to me that you “feel yourself through” the song, as your rendition runs so smooth and fluently. - And the drummer (you) adding further melodic lines: no doubt on that point either. With the drums being an orchestra in themselves as well as having their own role in the “score”, one might call this style “an orchestral way of drumming”.
Thanks once again, Sina, for your unflinching pursuit of keeping handmade Rock alive! Best wishes - Stephen
Nice post Steve!!!
To be honest I think that is the hallmark of the WHO. Pete Townsend always said that John Entwistle was a bass player who thought he was a lead guitarist .... just a collection of fantastic musicians in the same place at the same time.
Yes. Moon's drum solo all the time... I've never thought that. I was a big -The who- fan in the 1980,s. & I still have all of my who records on vinyl.
Stephen-
From your keyboard to God’s monitor.
You got that right, bro!
In french, we use the expression "décrocher la Lune", which could be translated by "to reach for the Moon" ( to do the impossible ) , and its seems like you really did it, it was very impressive to watch !
Haha, the most fitting expression for a Keith Moon cover!
You're a great drummer, @sina-drums. It's not easy plays like Keith. And you was fantastic! Congrats from Sao Paulo, Brazil
Hits all the fills on point. Perfect timing.... she is so damn talented
No matter how many times I watch and listen to Sina she always brightens my day and brings a smile to my face.
She Rocks my World!!!. Go Sina and take on the World!!!
