There is always sunshine when Sina takes on the cream of the crop! THE SONG - "Sunshine of Your Love" was written by Cream's guitarist Eric Clapton and bassist Jack Bruce with lyrics by poet-songwriter Pete Brown. It's the second track on their second album 'Disraeli Gears'. The US distributor was Atlantic Records run by Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler so the song and album were recorded at Atlantic Studios, on 60th Street in NYC. Recording engineer Tom Dowd had designed the studio himself, in 1959, with an Ampex 8-track machine and a $12,000 (1959 dollars!) console. The recording history is a bit unclear. It's known that Cream's work visas were expiring within a few days so the album is said to have been made within 3-1/2 days. It's also been stated that Cream's manager Robert Stigwood arranged for the recording session and it was to start on April 3, 1967 so recording could not have continued into May 1967 as reported by some sources. Perhaps knowing the precise dates is expecting too much. We do know the release and chart histories. 'Disraeli Gears' was released on Nov 2, 1967. "Sunshine of Your Love", the second single, was released in Dec 1967 (Sep 1968 in the UK). 'Disraeli Gears' peaked at #4 on Billboard 200 on June 29, 1968 after 30 weeks on the chart. It spent a total of 83 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. "Sunshine of Your Love", one of their most popular and commercially successful songs, entered Billboard's Hot 100 at #74 on Jan 13, 1968 and peaked at #5 on Aug 31, 1968 after 23 weeks. It was last seen at #25 on Sep 21,1968 after a total of 26 weeks on the chart. The songwriting process was described by Pete Brown in a SongFacts interview, "Did you hear the riff for "Sunshine of Your Love" when you wrote the words to it?" "Pete: Yes. We had been working all night and had gotten some stuff done. We had very little time to write for Cream, but we happened to have some spare time and Jack came up with the riff. He was playing a stand-up - he still had his stand-up bass, because he'd been a jazz musician. He was playing stand-up bass, and he said, "What about this then?" and played the famous riff. I looked out the window and wrote down, "It's getting near dawn." That's how it happened. It's actually all true, really, all real stuff." THE DRUM TRACK - The band was having trouble getting the feel and cohesion right for "Sunshine". Baker originally had used a faster groove that just wasn't working. Tom Dowd claimed "I said, 'Have you ever seen an American Western where the Indian beat - the downbeat - is the beat? Why don't you play that one. Ginger went inside and they started to run the song again. When they started playing that way, all of the parts came together and they were elated." Baker later refuted that claim and said it was his idea. Drum Magazine wrote, "Baker plays a cool variation on the Motown groove, with quarter-notes on the snare and bass drum notes that punctuate the guitar riff, while opening the hi-hat on the & of 4." THE DRUMMER - According to Drummerworld, "Baker bought his first drum kit at the age of 15. At the age of 16 he left home, and spent a year on the road." Then "he decided to make his own drum kit, "I got this great idea for using Perspex," recalls Ginger. "It was like wood to work on, but it was smooth, and it would save painting the inside of the drum shell with gloss paint. So I bent the shells and shaped them over a gas stove." Ginger made the kit in 1961 and used it until 1966, when he bought his first Ludwig set. Sadly, it was this home-made set that Jack Bruce would demolish with his upright bass in an on-stage brawl with Baker during the Graham Bond days. Bruce later recalled that the kit sounded spectacular -- like no other kit he'd heard before." Baker always considered himself to be a jazzer. His inspirations were Phil Seamen, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones and Max Roach. He got to play with them all and considered them his friends. In the early 60s, he got a gig that required reading, which he couldn't, so he faked it and taught himself to read. He also mastered the rudiments. Although he inspired young heavy metal drummers, in 2012, he told Music Radar unequivocally, "I hate heavy metal." THE DRUM COVER - Rosanna had a chance to chat with Sina about "Sunshine of Your Love" - RO: This is your first Cream / Ginger Baker cover. Were you aware of him as a young drummer or did you come to know him later on? SINA: To be honest, I wasn't really aware of him. I never heard a lot of Cream. But I recently watched the very interesting 'Beware of Mr Baker' documentary and I thought now it's time to do a cover. RO: When did you become aware of him and was his drumming interesting or inspirational? SINA: We already talked about Ginger Baker in Drummers Institute. We even briefly talked about "Sunshine of Your Love" and how unusual this groove is. That's when I first really became aware of him. RO: He apparently did try playing "Sunshine..." in the early days with an entirely different groove at a faster tempo. He eventually settled on this unusual groove that emphasizes the 1 and 3 and the snare only comes in during the chorus and some fills. As a drummer, how would you describe his style and this groove? SINA: This song really shows the influence of African music that Ginger Baker listened to in his freetime. The groove is technically very basic, but to come up with such a basic and 'easy' (not talking about the fills here) groove is not that easy. I am really impressed with Ginger's creativity. RO: Baker has a strong jazz background. Do you hear any jazz elements in his playing or does he seem more like a rock drummer? SINA: In this particular song, his jazz roots are not that obvious. But you can hear where he comes from in other songs he played on. In this song you can clearly hear that he listened a lot to African music and African drumming. RO: You made an effort to really nail the drum part. Considering its unusual nature, was it difficult to do? SINA: Technically, this is not very hard to play, except for the fast fills at the end. But it's quite hard to get used to this kind of groove. It's especially hard not to hit a cymbal after every fill... So, as they say, make hay while the sun shines! See y'all next week! :D

I came looking for Sunshine of Your Love because nobody should ever sequence a really Tom-driven rock beat without revisiting it. This is one of the clearest audiovisual guides out there. Beginner to intermediante drummers looking to get better should watch this. Drummers who are already at least this good, but looking to get even better than that, should watch this. People doing sequencing and programming who have no understanding whatsoever of how a real-life kit works should also watch this. It's just a fantastic resource all round for people of all levels. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Sina's commitment to precision is stellar. When she plays, the position of the drums' part in the song is crystal clear. Thanks, Sina, you have provided the world with a legacy of artistic drumming.

To all “older” music lovers like me, have no fear. I have seen the future of our music and it is bright! Through the extremely talented young people Sina showcases, lead by her, our hopes, dreams and memories live on through them. And the shame of it may be that they will never fully understand the happiness they are bringing to us. With hundreds of thousands of followers, I know she will never see this comment, but I pray she keeps on drumming. Sina, you and your music mean the WORLD to us!! 👍❤️😎

The sound you are achieving with your recordings is unbelievable!! The drums themselves, the mikes, and the rest of the electronic recording chain are all things chosen by people who really know what they're doing. Uhh, not to mention, I love your drumming!!! But seriously, you're videos have the best sound I have heard on KZread, ever!

Ginger's tribal style beautifully captured.

I was a teenager in the 60s. This sure does bring it back. U are magnificent Sina, thank u.

Absolutely shocking how you nailed that incredible song. Cream was my favorite back in the day. Ginger Baker changed drumming with that one song. I'm going to watch this over & over. Thanks Sina.

I’ve been a Ginger Baker fan for decades and was saddened to hear of his recent death. Baker had a very distinctive style of drumming that is very very seldom repeated. . .not can it be. Sina, your rendition is as close to his playing as is possible. I’ve been a fan of yours for quite a while not and I am always amazed at you ability to cover the drum styles of so many players. This attempt at covering Baker elevates you in my eyes and ears. And Damn, I love your music selection. I also love so many of the girls you introduce on your channel, e.g. Avonlea, Charlotte, etc...

What an Amazing Birthday Gift for Mr Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker, who turned 80 years old and 1 month Today! Thank you Sina for this Amazing Performance!!

Mr. Peter Edward Baker must be proud. Ginger Sina honors Ginger Baker. Superb song, awesome cover.

I came back from Germany in 67 to find this thing on the air and played every 5 minutes on the radio. I was an instant fan. Spent the summer in Roxbury on the beach [Bottom of Long Island]. Seems 5 lifetimes ago. How cool was this song. So...Playing along to Ginger Baker... We did this song a jillion times in our band. Nothing like setting you standards at the top. Good job lil lady...

Sina! You JAM! I love the band Cream and Sunshine especially. The cymbal crashing during mid-to-ending part of the song I always loved and you do it brilliantly! 😊

This is on one of my all time favourite albumbs, and I've listened to it hundreds, if not thousands of times, and this cover is absolutely perfect. Unbelievably impressive.

How in the world does she do it? Sina is the most amazing musician I've ever seen. Hundreds and hundreds of complex songs and Sina is always perfect on each and every one of them.

Ms. Doering: THANK YOU. This is one of my all-time faves, from my 60's days as a Vietnam Veteran and 30+ years as a hippie, rockin' out to so many fantastic musicians. I know that Mr. Baker is smiling down from Heaven ["out of the way, you harps!!"], hearing and watching your generation really doing justice to Rock Classics. It was that tribal drum theme that made this one of ny faves, and if I may respectfully say so, you make us proud to know that great music is still alive because of you and other youths, including the Taiwanese and other girl/lady 'street drummers' of Asia who "represent," each in their own very special way. You have a gift, Sina, and Thank You for sharing. Rock on! Love and respect from San Francisco.

Hi Sina, Thanks for another trip down memory lane!! Your cover of "SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE" sounds even better than I remember it from the late 60's!!! Simply wonderful to listen to and even better to watch you do your amazing magic on those drums!!!THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!! "LOVE YA"

Great cover, Sina, this old guy thanks you for giving the old songs new life with your passion. This song, along with "Badge" from "Goodbye" are my favorite Cream songs. I was a DJ on college radio when this was on the charts, and I loved playing it LOUD in the studio. The one thing I really appreciate about you Sina, is the honesty you give every cover. You always place your drum part right where it belongs in the song - whether way in the background where the vocal or another instrument is prominent, or in a song like this one, where the drum part drives the song. Your skill at knowing how best to play these parts is simply unmatched. Kudos!!

Ginger would have loved this. He was such an extraordinary talent and Sina has really done him justice on this video.

The finale/outro is just amazingly excellent!!

Even though I've heard "Sunshine" hundreds of times, I learned something new today. Thanks for the education.

I usually start my day by getting a cup of coffee and coming out into my shop and firing up the computer. I check my email and then put on Sina's playlist. I have it playing while I work on whatever I have going for the day. It's been miniature Adirondack chairs for the last few days. Everyone thinks they are regular size. Nope. about 5" tall. I periodically look over and watch her for a few minutes of and on as I work. I love to watch her play. I am always pulling up videos on my phone and showing people this petite little girl just slingin' the lumber and just plain killin' whatever song she is covering. The number of views on each song is amazing. I wonder where she would rank for the average number views based on a minimum of 10 video's. I bet she is in the top or better 5 or better.
