The Molotovs, Anya, Laurie Wright, Another Day, the entire rock scene is immense!!! Clarissa, Lucy, Young Athena, everyone! - on and my nephew Elijah is flying in from Australia next week! 😆❤️❤️❤️ Always with you! ❤
As a drummer, I have never understood the controversy about how you hold your sticks. Whatever feels best and allows the best drumming is the right answer.
Andrés Segovia has entered the chat... As a young man, I went down the Stevie Ray Vaughan/ Malcolm Young rabbit-hole: .14-68 strings on an electric guitar, with a ridiculously high action. Even used a wound G-string! It DID, at the time, improve my "tone", but what I didn't understand was: I was to aggressive on the strings, particularly with my right-(picking) hand. And, while it worked at the time, I'm now paying the price... Ergonomics are important. Everybody should take lessons from a classically trained tutor, otherwise there's a price to pay down the line..
Iam so sorry to hear this Sina make sure you are taking vitamin D3 with K . And get the good stuff not all is good. How could anyone tell you how to play you know best that's pretty obvious so naturally pretty and good music to our ears. ❤️🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸❤️
@@sherryanimallover7506 You are wrong... People have been playing all kinds of musical instruments, for millenia. But, there are ways to play most, without ruining your tendons. Naturally, as a drummer, you WILL eventually fry your hearing, and get tinnitus, before it's totally gone. Same happens to electric guitarists.... There was a saying, back when I was young: "If it is to loud, you're to old" Well , better than going Deaf, don't you think??
Neil Peart switched to a traditional grip after he had already been in Rush for over 20 years. As great as he was he went and took lessons from Jazz great Freddie Gruber and reinvented his entire style because he felt the need to improve. Most of the people that criticize you probably can't play a kazoo let alone the drums.
This old drummer, who has always used both grips 'just because' they are both useful, says "Go for it! and ignore all the internet 'advisors' who waste time criticizing things they don't understand. Love your music! Thanks for sharing.
You won't hear any older drummers (I'm 70) complaining about your grip. I played traditional grip most of my life. I am now learning matched just because it's different (Gordy Knutson). Being a musician, for me, isn't about the goal or achievement, it's about the journey and just plane enjoyment! Love your playing style!
You are a phenomenal drummer!!! I don't understand why people have given you such a hard time about the way you choose to hold your drum sticks! Goodness!!! Continue to heal and I wish you all the best in London! God bless you!!!😊
Hi Sina, I was taught the traditional grip when I was 12 Years old, and I can tell you 60 years later I can still play as well as I could then. Thank you for telling why it’s good. Congratulations move to the UK to increase your musical journey. Cheers
Thank you so much for keeping us informed about your health Sina, please take good care of yourself! 💗 Also best wishes for your move to London, I hope all your dreams come true :)
Buddy Rich, one of the greatest drummers of all time used traditional grip. Keep doing what you're doing Sina. You produce great content and you're a wonderful, heartfelt, talented musician. Cheers from Canada.
Actually, both Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa occasionally used the matched grip when they were mainly playing the tom-toms. The traditional grip originated when drummers were marching as they played.
Stewart Copeland is a perfect example of how traditional grip works in a rock band. He's easily in many people's top 5 drummer lists. I suppose Sina your classed as a 'switch grip' drummer
Thank-you for talking to us about your big move and your journey with your hands and grip. I think that everything that you told us just solidifies that you are not just an awesome drummer, but a truly awesome person as well. I am sure that we are all eager to see your dreams come to fruition.
Thank you Sina. I am sorry to hear all those years of enjoying your music, you were in such pain. How wonderful you found the solution, and the courage to share this part of your life with us. Of couse no one is perfect, but you continue to impress. I look forward to those ideas you have for future. With many decades to come, of doing your thing and making as many changes as you want or noeed to along the way. Your hard work, skill, and determination will always be highly appreciated here. Thank you Sina. Best wishes. How forturnate we are to be able to hear you work, and cheer you on.
Since finding this channel a few years back, I wondered about either tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. I worked in manufacturing for about 40 years so I know the pain. The way I dealt with it was to make changes to how I handled the product or equipment as soon as I felt discomfort. Changing the grip on the sticks and being comfortable with being able to go from one style to another can likely go a long way in eliminating the problem. You are on the right track.
Hallo Sina, danke das Du uns erklärt hast, warum Du zum traditionellen Griff gewechselt bist. Ich wünsche Dir viel Gesundheit , und wundervolle Momente in London, und natürlich freue ich mich weiterhin Deine tollen Covers zu sehen.
Glad you didn't quit. I feel bad people were busting your chops about the switch in styles. I remember when you did it but never thought anything about it, as far as I could tell you never missed a beat or thought your work suffered. I think you're one of the best people in the world. I loved hearing you swear it made me laugh. Try not to let the negative comments get you down, do what's best for you, and create the music you love. I know I love most of what you do, if it's something or a cover by someone I don't care for. I just complement your effort and time it took to do the job. Congratulations on your move to London. I know it's what you wanted, happy for you. Sina, best of luck and take care.
I am sure many of us feel your pain. As a guitarist I suffered an injury to my right hand and have not been able to play to the same standard as before the injury. At least you caught this condition before it was too late. I wish you much success Sina.
You have been my favorite drummer on TH-cam for years. Keep having fun and doing what you love and many more will tag along on this ride with you as you show the world what gives you joy.
I'm not a drummer, but I've been listening to you for a long time! I enjoy your sound. I recall you changing your grip and playing with it on your channel. I sat back and listened again because something was different. The sound was so crisp and precise, so I considered it a vast improvement. Thank you for sharing your story. Just keep on doing that thing you do! Always take care of your health!
Sina, thank you for sharing your struggles with others. I'm sure it will be very helpful to fellow musicians who may be physically suffering in the same way. Best of luck on your future projects. And, most importantly, keep on rockin'!!
Thank you for this information Sina you always treat your fans with true kindness and care, very fortunately for us through your love of music and your dedication to your craft you have brought us so much incredible entertainment over the years. Wishing you every success in London and looking forward to future projects 💕💕💕
Congratulations Sina on your move to London. I am so excited for you and I am sure you will have a great opportunity to grow as an artist and as a person. Thank you for taking the time to explain your move to traditional grip you do what you need to do to stay healthy and strong. Sina everything that is happening to you, you deserve your dedication and determination has paid off. I wish you the best. You keep jamming and I'll keep watching. Don't forget to keep smiling as well. Be safe.
You demonstrated quite perfectly in your playing that traditional grip is just as powerful as matched grip. Your example of Stewart Copeland is a great example of why traditional grip is cool 😎 👌🥁 Have a great time here in the Uk 🇬🇧 😀
Thanks for the explanation Sina, it must be a relief to have not much pain now. Though for me, an explanation wasn't necessary. But i understand why you decided to share your story now, it must be a weight off your mind. Enjoy London, lets hope you find a studio soon, and some talented musicians to make music with.
Sina, you totally rock by following your heart and sharing this with your music. I'm proud to have been one of your (many) teachers at ArtEZ Arnhem and can't wait to hear and see more from your London-adventure. ❤🎶🌟
Thank you also for being one of her amazing teachers. Your Art of the Trio performances with Sina at ArtEZ will I'm sure be wonderful memories for her from her time there.
As another drummer with tendonitis issues, I can tell you that there is no "one size fits all" treatment. When I met Max Weinberg, I asked him how his hands were, and he said they were good, and he uses both traditional and matched grips to this day. I played traditional grip for about 5 months when I was 18 and had to stop traditional grip due to tendonitis issues. When I went back to matched grip, I really had to figure out how to play without pain, and the grip I am using now is really working and helping me play better as opposed to hindering my playing. Thank you so much for posting this. We are all different drummers and we all know what's right for us. Individualism is important. As far as the people saying you're doing it wrong? Well, they don't know you. While my experience was the direct opposite as to yours, I can say that I am happy you are not feeling any pain. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you! Very inspirational. It's almost as if these "My life is over" crises can be the very event to make our life better, if (as occasionally happens) we have the courage to step back and feel the bigger picture. Just as you so eloquently described. I needed this reminder right about now, so thank you.
Congratulations on your move to London! You've grown up so much since I first discovered your incredible drumming. I noticed that you kind of disappeared for a bit, so this makes sense about your wrist pain. I'm so glad you're doing better and enjoying the feel of traditional grip. Best wishes, Sina! 🥁
I wish you all the Best Sina , Do not let anything get you down , Life is too short... do what you do that makes you feel better and Follow your heart and intuition , You do not need to explain to anyone but I am sure a lot of people can Appreciate it because not only are you an Amazing Drummer and Artist you are an Amazing individual. I have seen Amazing people who Drum with their Feet and they Rock. Rock and Roll will never Die , all the Best , The Rebel Yell Cover will Always be my Fav 🤘
To be honest, I was always mesmerized by the extreme talent that I was watching, not by the way that you held the sticks. Keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for sharing!
Take care of yourself and use what ever grip works best for you, I will have to take a better look at my grip and how i move. It's cool that you are now in London where so much of the music I have listened to all my life comes from. I wish you lots of success in your new city and I look forward to all of your future videos, they have helped me so much in the past.
Enjoy your success. You play from the soul. You do for you! As age creeps,we adjust. I pounded skins less than 2 monthsback in 70's. Now,pushing 65. So refreshing to see. All the years.
Thanks for the update. You were born to play drums with excellence. No one has a right to criticize how you play. You have learned great lessons through your adversity and will continue to excel in what you do. Keep building on your great body of work!
i’m so happy you figured out the other grip helped with your pain and that you’re feeling better! you are doing what’s best for YOU! & enjoy your new adventures in London ❤
I’ve used both grips all my life in all styles of music and all volume levels. When I got into my early 40’s I started having pain in the joints of my fingers so I spent a few years learning to eliminate ALL tension in my hands and basically let the sticks float in my hands while I play which allows the mechanical energy/force to dissipate into the air rather than into my fingers/hands/arms (that took a lot of getting used to!). I’m 56 now and my hands feel fantastic and the sound I produce on the drums is bigger and fuller than it ever was before I revamped my grip. Best of luck in your drumming journey.
I can't see the reason why people would bug you about the way you play... The final result has always been great, so it doesn't matter how you hold the sticks ! Good luck in London and best wishes from Brazil ! Keep on rocking !!
Sina, I never paid too much attention to which grip you were using. Some of the great drummers in music over the years switched grips depending on what the music called for. I took a drum camp years ago taught by a man named Ed Shaughnessy. For those that don't know, Ed was the Tonight Show's drummer. He preferred the traditional grip, but would use the matched grip on occasion. His take was, use whichever grip feels comfortable. Greats like Todd Sucherman, Buddy Rich, and Neil Peart use or used both grips. I'm glad you didn't quit drumming, and look forward to seeing you for years to come.
Glad you are feeling better. Happy that you moved to London. Meet as many ppl as you can as this could lead to some great connections and collaborations.
Sina - Thanks for the courage of sharing - I've always been impressed with your skill and obvious talent. As a pianist, one of the things I first learned was correct hand position, something that has translated into many other areas of my life. Enjoy your time in London, and best wishes on your musical and life journey.
Thank you for sharing, Sina as drummer as well I understand the pain and struggle you can go through whilst trying to perfect the correct technique, and just trying what really feels right for yourself I bet those who were critical of your change have probably never played drums before otherwise they would have understood, and you're a lot of the great drummers use the traditional grip, I wish all the best for new chapter in life and I am sure you will succeed in whatever Path you follow, you are already a great drummer and musician❤👍
Thank you for everything! You just rock, Sina, Welcome to the UK. Several years of looking at your vids,....you are a stunning musician. Whatever you need to do to keep yourself healthy, is good by me. Love every post you have ever made.
I am SOOOO glad for your testimony; I was for a while going to praise you for the traditional grip you started using. It would communicate that you appeared more professional and serious about your craft! I'm sorry I didn't comment positively earlier, as I guess I was too lazy to do so. I didn't realize that you received negative responses to the switch, and it bothered me that people would be so obtuse in their reactions. I also was happy to hear that you felt strongly about your choice and wasn't swayed by the ignorant public opinion! I have newly subscribed, and look forward to seeing more of you professional and personal growth as you move on in this venue! Thanks for what you are doing!
Thank you so much for this video. I teach so many students that want to skip the “boring technique” stuff and go straight to songs. And while I completely understand why, I tell them that I got carpel tunnel in both hands before I finally broke down and learned ease of motion. Glad you’re feeling better. It sucks to go through it, but you always come out the other side more appreciative for the gift of drumming. 🤘
I was always curious about this. In fact, I almost asked about it in your last Discord livestream. Thank you for enlightening us. Please don't feel bad in any way. I mean, you can't help what your body does. Whatever works best for you! I'm sorry you had to suffer. Keep drumming the way you want! Looking forward to hearing about your future projects.
Have no shame. You’re discovering yourself and life as no one else can. You’re the master of yourself. And you’re amazing to watch and hear! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for sharing your story and I glad you're talking steps to protect your self against physical pain and discomfort. Gotta look out for yourself sometimes no matter what. I'm glad you didn't quit, it'd be an huge loss of talent and passion for the musical world. I hope your move to London serves you well and allows you to meet your dreams and goals for the future. Again thank you for sharing your story. Much love and respect to you.
You’ve done more than any of those that find fault in your technique. I did notice the change when it happened but you never let the pain show or make excuses. Just love your music and hope to hear more success in your life! I think London is ready for you now.
Congratulations on your move to London! I'm sure you will love it there and will make an excellent addition to the music community there. Thanks for sharing the challenges you've been working through.
I'm not a musician but have been following and admiring you for years. It was very heartwarming that you shared this intimate story with us. Thank you. Best wishes for your move to London, I hope all your dreams come true. From Backwoods Texas, USA
Congratulations on your move to London! I hope you meet some great people there and continue to enjoy your passion! I've been a listener since the beginning, and you have provided us with a lot of awesome performances! Thank you for sharing your story. ❤❤🎵🎵‼‼
Danke für die sehr ausführliche Erläuterungen, ich hatte die Frage auch einmal in den Kommentaren an Dich gestellt. Have a great time down in London. 🤘😉
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad to hear you're getting better! Health comes first, and you sharing your story hopefully helps others watch their bodies before it's too late. Also, it's never wrong to expand and learn new things. I'm consider myself still a beginner at the drums and still have lots to learn, but I have traditional grip and open handed drumming on my to-learn list, and be it only to challenge myself outside of my comfort zone. I wish you a fantastic time in London, it's a great city!
Welcome to my home city! Hope your wrists continue to heal, Ganglion Cyst can be very painful, so it is good you've figured out the cause and a solution to it. I love listening to your music. Looking forward to hearing more. London has a lot of music both past and current. But it is a hard area to get into. I just play music for my own enjoyment, but my son has been trying to get into the music business ever since leaving university, and still can't get a job doing what he wants. You probably have a better chance than he does, because of your TH-cam channel. So, good luck!
I watch a lot of your videos and I was one of those who noticed and inquired about your change of grips out of curiosity and nothing else. I'm just glad that you're feeling better and comfortable.
sina-drums in the freeze frame at the end of the video, you look shockingly like my adoptive family! My adoptive grandfather was from near Baden. I really enjoy your videos. I have no musical talent so thankfully I have no comments to offer! You and your friends make great music, and awesome videos. You have such a sweet demeanor, which makes them a joy to watch.
You shouldn't have any shame Sina, as you have brought so much joy to so many people playing real instruments and creating such beautiful tunes. I for one am thankful that you've found a way to continue your craft and that I've been able to enjoy your music for years. Keep up the GREAT WORK you're creating because your efforts are "Above Top Shelf". Moved to London, all the best and I look forward to many more years of enjoying your wonderful talent, thanks Sina.
I appreciate you explaining the physics of drumming. That was very interesting. I’m glad you are no longing having so much pain. Best of luck to you in London
Hey Sina, I am really pleased you have found the real issue with your wrists, and have been able to make changes that are giving you the freedom to drum the way you love to. I also have had ganglions, and needed to get one surgicallly removed as a child. They can hurt and are limiting, and that can be quite scary when you are so committed to a career that requires full movement like you are. Just great to hear about your new direction and location. I can't wait to see what comes next. Thanks for the personal video. It is great to know a little more about you, which makes soaking up your amazing drumming even better!
I switch back and forth. Teaching students want for marching and left handed main right open playing. Getting the stick to take all the shock is the best. Glad you’re doing better. Missed seeing your vids.
Bless you for making this video, I've seen far too much hate for the traditional grip and never understood it. Seeing you fly on the kit with traditional grip is so inspirational! I'm a couple years into drumming and instantly found the traditional grip more comfortable for me personally, and started drumming with lessons with a Jazz drummer that encouraged it. I have had this constant mental battle to transition to matched grip because of videos and comments I see, but you've solidified my love for traditional grip. I wish you all the best, you have a new fan from the states. 😄
I'm so sorry to hear that you had a lot of wrist problems, and I wish you good healing! It was very brave of you to keep this private and therefore not being able to share it with your audience. But all the while your spirits seemed to be high, you radiated happiness and you were very dedicated to the music - very strong! Congratulations on your openness now and for your bold move to London (but a bit sad that you had to leave your splendid house boat behind). I don't have a good suggestion on who to meet, but I loved to go to the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton. Enjoy London and all the best!
Who should I meet in London? Put some suggestions in the comments below!

@@kiwiangeldust6912 Me too. I miss the old Late Night with Conan O'Brien show. The PSA's and The Poetry of Max Weinberg are hilarious.
So happy for you that you can continue doing what you love. Keep rocking and congrats on the move to London. Its a great city!
There is no blame or shame. Thank God you listened to the pain and found a work around.
Thank you! Very inspirational. It's almost as if these "My life is over" crises can be the very event to make our life better, if (as occasionally happens) we have the courage to step back and feel the bigger picture. Just as you so eloquently described. I needed this reminder right about now, so thank you.
I'm glad your wrists are fine now and you are coming back to play the amazing drums! Good luck!
Congratulations on your move to London! You've grown up so much since I first discovered your incredible drumming. I noticed that you kind of disappeared for a bit, so this makes sense about your wrist pain. I'm so glad you're doing better and enjoying the feel of traditional grip. Best wishes, Sina! 🥁
Awe love your explanation and, most of all your drumming and your cool accent!!! Keep on rocking Sina!!!
You're an awesome person and I'm so glad you were able to continue you're one of the best things to happen to music.
I wish you all the Best Sina , Do not let anything get you down , Life is too short... do what you do that makes you feel better and Follow your heart and intuition , You do not need to explain to anyone but I am sure a lot of people can Appreciate it because not only are you an Amazing Drummer and Artist you are an Amazing individual. I have seen Amazing people who Drum with their Feet and they Rock. Rock and Roll will never Die , all the Best , The Rebel Yell Cover will Always be my Fav 🤘
Thank you Sina! Very inspirational and instructive. I hope your wrist heals eventually. All the best!
We all love hearing your drumming. Keep up the great work
To be honest, I was always mesmerized by the extreme talent that I was watching, not by the way that you held the sticks. Keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for sharing!
Take care of yourself and use what ever grip works best for you, I will have to take a better look at my grip and how i move. It's cool that you are now in London where so much of the music I have listened to all my life comes from. I wish you lots of success in your new city and I look forward to all of your future videos, they have helped me so much in the past.
Glad you are feeling better and glad you are in the UK now.
Rock on, Drumming Lady! Viel Erfolg - und hoffentlich auch viel Spaß - in London! 👍💥
Enjoy your success. You play from the soul. You do for you! As age creeps,we adjust. I pounded skins less than 2 monthsback in 70's. Now,pushing 65. So refreshing to see. All the years.
Thank you for sharing and best of luck to you in your new adventure!!
Glad for you sharing and hope you continue to heal well. You are a great drummer with so much energy when playing. Congrats on your move to London.
You go girl! Really a fan of your vids and joy of music that cames through.
Thanks for the update. You were born to play drums with excellence.
No one has a right to criticize how you play.
You have learned great lessons through your adversity and will continue to excel in what you do. Keep building on your great body of work!
i’m so happy you figured out the other grip helped with your pain and that you’re feeling better! you are doing what’s best for YOU! & enjoy your new adventures in London ❤
I’ve used both grips all my life in all styles of music and all volume levels. When I got into my early 40’s I started having pain in the joints of my fingers so I spent a few years learning to eliminate ALL tension in my hands and basically let the sticks float in my hands while I play which allows the mechanical energy/force to dissipate into the air rather than into my fingers/hands/arms (that took a lot of getting used to!). I’m 56 now and my hands feel fantastic and the sound I produce on the drums is bigger and fuller than it ever was before I revamped my grip. Best of luck in your drumming journey.
I can't see the reason why people would bug you about the way you play... The final result has always been great, so it doesn't matter how you hold the sticks ! Good luck in London and best wishes from Brazil ! Keep on rocking !!
Sina, I never paid too much attention to which grip you were using. Some of the great drummers in music over the years switched grips depending on what the music called for. I took a drum camp years ago taught by a man named Ed Shaughnessy. For those that don't know, Ed was the Tonight Show's drummer. He preferred the traditional grip, but would use the matched grip on occasion. His take was, use whichever grip feels comfortable. Greats like Todd Sucherman, Buddy Rich, and Neil Peart use or used both grips. I'm glad you didn't quit drumming, and look forward to seeing you for years to come.
Thank you for all the great music over these years! Looking forward to more.
Hope you enjoy the UK😊
Great success on your move to London. You are an exceptional musician, an exceptional person and strong enough to follow your own path; Play On!
Glad you are feeling better. Happy that you moved to London. Meet as many ppl as you can as this could lead to some great connections and collaborations.
Sina - Thanks for the courage of sharing - I've always been impressed with your skill and obvious talent. As a pianist, one of the things I first learned was correct hand position, something that has translated into many other areas of my life. Enjoy your time in London, and best wishes on your musical and life journey.
Welcome to Britain, and you play how you want and we'll love it!
Thank you for sharing, Sina as drummer as well I understand the pain and struggle you can go through whilst trying to perfect the correct technique, and just trying what really feels right for yourself I bet those who were critical of your change have probably never played drums before otherwise they would have understood, and you're a lot of the great drummers use the traditional grip, I wish all the best for new chapter in life and I am sure you will succeed in whatever Path you follow, you are already a great drummer and musician❤👍
Your comment 👌
Welcome to UK - hope you enjoy yourself!
Thank you for everything! You just rock, Sina, Welcome to the UK. Several years of looking at your vids,....you are a stunning musician. Whatever you need to do to keep yourself healthy, is good by me. Love every post you have ever made.
I am SOOOO glad for your testimony; I was for a while going to praise you for the traditional grip you started using. It would communicate that you appeared more professional and serious about your craft! I'm sorry I didn't comment positively earlier, as I guess I was too lazy to do so. I didn't realize that you received negative responses to the switch, and it bothered me that people would be so obtuse in their reactions. I also was happy to hear that you felt strongly about your choice and wasn't swayed by the ignorant public opinion! I have newly subscribed, and look forward to seeing more of you professional and personal growth as you move on in this venue! Thanks for what you are doing!
Thank you so much for this video. I teach so many students that want to skip the “boring technique” stuff and go straight to songs. And while I completely understand why, I tell them that I got carpel tunnel in both hands before I finally broke down and learned ease of motion. Glad you’re feeling better. It sucks to go through it, but you always come out the other side more appreciative for the gift of drumming. 🤘
I was always curious about this. In fact, I almost asked about it in your last Discord livestream. Thank you for enlightening us. Please don't feel bad in any way. I mean, you can't help what your body does. Whatever works best for you! I'm sorry you had to suffer. Keep drumming the way you want! Looking forward to hearing about your future projects.
Have no shame. You’re discovering yourself and life as no one else can. You’re the master of yourself. And you’re amazing to watch and hear! Keep it up!
Sina you're a. wonderful young Lady full of an incredible talent. Thank you so much for everything.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and I glad you're talking steps to protect your self against physical pain and discomfort. Gotta look out for yourself sometimes no matter what. I'm glad you didn't quit, it'd be an huge loss of talent and passion for the musical world. I hope your move to London serves you well and allows you to meet your dreams and goals for the future. Again thank you for sharing your story. Much love and respect to you.
You’ve done more than any of those that find fault in your technique. I did notice the change when it happened but you never let the pain show or make excuses. Just love your music and hope to hear more success in your life! I think London is ready for you now.
Congratulations on your move to London! I'm sure you will love it there and will make an excellent addition to the music community there. Thanks for sharing the challenges you've been working through.
I'm not a musician but have been following and admiring you for years. It was very heartwarming that you shared this intimate story with us. Thank you. Best wishes for your move to London, I hope all your dreams come true. From Backwoods Texas, USA
I'm very glad you didn't give up. And with the traditional grip you are in very good company !! 🤗🥰
Congratulations on your move to London! I hope you meet some great people there and continue to enjoy your passion! I've been a listener since the beginning, and you have provided us with a lot of awesome performances! Thank you for sharing your story. ❤❤🎵🎵‼‼
Danke für die sehr ausführliche Erläuterungen, ich hatte die Frage auch einmal in den Kommentaren an Dich gestellt. Have a great time down in London. 🤘😉
I believe your playing will begin to reach new and higher levels and you have joined an elite core of great drummers who play traditional. Right on !!
Welcome to London! For what it is worth I think that the traditional grip looks elegant.
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad to hear you're getting better! Health comes first, and you sharing your story hopefully helps others watch their bodies before it's too late. Also, it's never wrong to expand and learn new things. I'm consider myself still a beginner at the drums and still have lots to learn, but I have traditional grip and open handed drumming on my to-learn list, and be it only to challenge myself outside of my comfort zone. I wish you a fantastic time in London, it's a great city!
Welcome to my home city! Hope your wrists continue to heal, Ganglion Cyst can be very painful, so it is good you've figured out the cause and a solution to it. I love listening to your music. Looking forward to hearing more. London has a lot of music both past and current. But it is a hard area to get into. I just play music for my own enjoyment, but my son has been trying to get into the music business ever since leaving university, and still can't get a job doing what he wants. You probably have a better chance than he does, because of your TH-cam channel. So, good luck!
I watch a lot of your videos and I was one of those who noticed and inquired about your change of grips out of curiosity and nothing else. I'm just glad that you're feeling better and comfortable.
I just love watching you. You look like you're having so much fun. Plus seem to be a natural at it. Thanks and don't put down your sticks for no one.
sina-drums in the freeze frame at the end of the video, you look shockingly like my adoptive family! My adoptive grandfather was from near Baden. I really enjoy your videos. I have no musical talent so thankfully I have no comments to offer! You and your friends make great music, and awesome videos. You have such a sweet demeanor, which makes them a joy to watch.
You shouldn't have any shame Sina, as you have brought so much joy to so many people playing real instruments and creating such beautiful tunes. I for one am thankful that you've found a way to continue your craft and that I've been able to enjoy your music for years. Keep up the GREAT WORK you're creating because your efforts are "Above Top Shelf". Moved to London, all the best and I look forward to many more years of enjoying your wonderful talent, thanks Sina.
God bless you young lady🎉
Sina you are fabulous as is your fellow musicians in all of your videos.
I appreciate you explaining the physics of drumming. That was very interesting. I’m glad you are no longing having so much pain. Best of luck to you in London
I was a bit worried becuz of P.Collins' malady. But I thought Sina is young and indestructible.
If I only had an ounce of Sina's drive and passion for her craft. I love traditional grip and you look and sound fantastic. Good luck in London.
You do what you gotta/wanna do! The only thing that matters is that you're happy about what you do.
Hey Sina, I am really pleased you have found the real issue with your wrists, and have been able to make changes that are giving you the freedom to drum the way you love to. I also have had ganglions, and needed to get one surgicallly removed as a child. They can hurt and are limiting, and that can be quite scary when you are so committed to a career that requires full movement like you are. Just great to hear about your new direction and location. I can't wait to see what comes next.
Thanks for the personal video. It is great to know a little more about you, which makes soaking up your amazing drumming even better!
I switch back and forth. Teaching students want for marching and left handed main right open playing. Getting the stick to take all the shock is the best. Glad you’re doing better. Missed seeing your vids.
Bless you for making this video, I've seen far too much hate for the traditional grip and never understood it. Seeing you fly on the kit with traditional grip is so inspirational! I'm a couple years into drumming and instantly found the traditional grip more comfortable for me personally, and started drumming with lessons with a Jazz drummer that encouraged it. I have had this constant mental battle to transition to matched grip because of videos and comments I see, but you've solidified my love for traditional grip. I wish you all the best, you have a new fan from the states. 😄
incredible talent wish you all the best in your career with no pain ever
I'm so sorry to hear that you had a lot of wrist problems, and I wish you good healing! It was very brave of you to keep this private and therefore not being able to share it with your audience. But all the while your spirits seemed to be high, you radiated happiness and you were very dedicated to the music - very strong! Congratulations on your openness now and for your bold move to London (but a bit sad that you had to leave your splendid house boat behind). I don't have a good suggestion on who to meet, but I loved to go to the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton. Enjoy London and all the best!
Wow, can't believe your grip would be criticized. You're a brilliant drummer!!
