This girl blows other drummers out of the water. Someone on here said she doesn't have stage presence because she is smiling and not that energetic. I'm honestly blown away with how comfortably she is able to play the song while singing along to the vocals... When i saw her mouthing the words while drumming my mouth dropped open, which may be a ridiculous thing to be impressed by, but honestly it just made me realize how easy and comfortable she was playing this song. Being that comfortable playing this difficult of a song was mind blowing for me. Props to you for being an incredible drummer.

I've been learning the drums for exactly a year at 31 days and I'm learning this song now. When I first began the drums, being able to play this was all I wanted to do.

When will be her debut album on her own band

I've heard people say she is a poser, and I think it's because it looks like she's not really into the drumming like a lot of metal heads are when they play. It looks like what she is doing is too easy and light to be real drumming, but it's only because she is a real musician and not a show off like most metal drummers are. She relies solely on her talent, not her presentation.

@chey229

7 жыл бұрын

Totally agree. She plays the drums like they were her best friends, like she would cosset them. Only the best musicians can do this. Do not be fooled by this cosseting: the drums give their best sound, just like Mike Portnoy would sit behind them. My wife plays the piano in the same way. She actually cossets the keys, like they were her best friends, her beloved ones, even when playing the cruelest 20th century compositions. If someone handles the instrument as it would be her or his best friend, plays with it (and not it), if this playing looks like some easy practice, and if you hear all the dynamics that can be created with that instrument, then you can make sure: you are listening to a real artist.

As a 50 year old starting to play drums for the first time as a retirement hobby, I really enjoy her videos. I played French horn and baritone back in my younger school days; should have picked percussion. Too many other videos everyone is showing off, flipping sticks, bouncing the sticks off the snare into the air, and generally look spastic with their arms flailing all over. Her very relaxed, fluid, precise every-time hits, her body glued into the pocket, and cheerful demeanor allow me to really study what's taking place; realize that good, calm, precise technique is key; and keeps me calm and in a positive mood, otherwise I concentrate too hard and get frustrated. I'm sure she's been playing longer than I have left to live, but to quote the proverb, I'll see if this old dog can be taught new tricks....ye olde brain and body just aren't as sharp as they used to be. Whew, those double kick pedals....to me right now that's like asking me to part the Red Sea; maybe one day years from now. Right now, I'll just relax and have fun with it!! Impressive Meytall.

That snare is magical

The metal queen tears drum kits apart over time in a way I've never seen.

Cohen was Israeli-born in Ramat Gan, the seventh child of a large family. Her parents were born in Iraq.[6] She studied tap dance, and graduated with a theater major from Blich High School in Ramat Hen; at the age of 18 she started playing drums and for two years served in the Israel Defense Forces, At the age of 20 she moved to Los Angeles.[8] She studied at Los Angeles Music Academy, majoring in percussion] Career After graduation from Los Angeles Music Academy, she played with her band "Metaphor", which also included Tina Guo on cello, Anna Stafford on violin, and Ali Wood on piano, playing concert tours in Australia, the United States, Mexico, South America and Europe in 2007. The all-female Led Zeppelin cover band "Moby Chick" joined their tour in Puerto Rico. Starting in 2010, Cohen has had an online video project, performing "drum covers" of popular rock songs. This has brought her a fan base and recognition: her 2009 cover of System of a Down's "Toxicity" had approximately 10.9 million views as of 2016;[8] [14] her KZread drum series had over 60 million views as of 2014.[1] Her number of Facebook followers in 2013 was said to be greater than that of any other Israeli woman with 369,000 "likes", outpacing supermodel Bar Refaeli; ahead of President Shimon Peres but behind Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She was also featured in an American TV show and two Australian shows. On 9 July 2013, Cohen started a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign called "Breaking KZread" whose purpose was to raise funds to create original music and move beyond covering songs on KZread. On 10 August 2013, the Kickstarter campaign raised $144,341 USD with 3,173 "backers". In her performances and videos, she uses a DW Performance Series drum kit and Meinl cymbals, and is currently an endorsed artist of both Drum Workshop and Meinl.[

Once again, BRAVO young lady. Job well done! You are such a talent. Thank you.

I don't get why anyone would dislike any of your videos. Even if its not their style or genre of music, they gotta admit, you are amazingly talented. No reason to dislike, just scroll on without "liking." Such nasty haters.

She is truly gifted. The grace and flow of her percussion is beautiful. I usually only read a few comments. Everyone of her vids it seems people can't except her for the professional she is, or they are jealous.

I never made it. That's not Meytal's fault, so I'm not gonna be a dick to her. Unfortunately that hasn't always been everyone's opinion. No, she's not the "best", but she's got a solid business plan, and has implemented it well. Credit where credit is due. Keep at it, Meytal.

The reason drums are so difficult is because you have to use your 4 limbs each on its own. Yes when you play guuitar you use your 2 hands on your own, but you don't use your legs much in guitar as far as I'm concerned. So I don't get why people are laughing so much at drummers. Drumming is NOT AN EASY THING! Even though, Meytalll did an amazing job on this cover.
