Styx And Stones Can Break Your Sticks - So Always Carry Spares :D "Come Sail Away", as performed by American prog-rock / arena-rock band Styx, was written by Dennis DeYoung - the band's main songwriter and vocalist. It's the fourth song on their seventh studio album 'The Grand Illusion' which was recorded at Paragon Recording Studion in Chicago in 1977. The album was released on July 7, 1977 and "Come Sail Away" was the first single released. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #89 on Sept 24, 1977 and peaked at #8 on Jan 28, 1978. 'The Grand Illusion' peaked at#6 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was a breakout hit for the band and eventually was certified trile platinum. Although Styx had a devoted fanbase, they were tired of being considered a second tier act, always opening for bands like Foghat, Rush, Aerosmith, etc. DeYoung used his frustration as inspiration for the lyrics. Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw and promo man Jim Cahill took a different approach to secure radio play. According to SongFacts- "This being the '70s, radio stations played a big role in promoting songs, and program directors could often be swayed with gifts of money and drugs. Payola, was of course, illegal, but that didn't stop Shaw and Cahill from traveling to many of the stations with bags of cocaine in an effort to get more airplay for this song. The tactic worked; Cahill explained on 'Styx Behind The Music' that program directors were like penguins, since they'd follow you around if you had "snow"" Some of the lyrics are a bit "out there". SongFacts states - "The last part of this song where the angels/aliens come to visit can be seen as an allusion to the Bible verse of Ezekiel chapter 1:1-28 where a large wheel/cloud (depending on text) appears to Ezekiel and gives him instructions from God. Some people believe the figure Ezekiel saw was not a messenger sent from God but an alien space craft or a time machine from the future." The movie 'Star Wars' was released a little over a month before "The Grand Illusion". It could just be the era. You decide :D Tommy Shaw - “Much of The Grand Illusion album was to do with the disillusionment of finding out that the things we had all dreamed about weren’t quite what they were cut out to be.”
PART TWO Original Styx drummer, John Panozzo, had a very physical style. Unfortunately, he died early on July 16, 1996 at the age of 47. Years of heavy drinking resulted in cirrhosis of the liver and he succumbed to gastrointestinal bleeding. He was replaced by Todd Sucherman who said - "I adored John. I loved his work, and his craft. I’m a different human being than John Panozzo was, as would any drummer who would be in this band. It’s impossible to play it exactly like that other person. It’s one thing to be able to play C, B flat, or A. With something as organic as drumming, which is as natural as a human heartbeat, it’s going to be a different thing. All I can do is try to make it feel as good as I can, and honor John’s legacy while adding my own stamp to the music." Rosanna had a question for Sina - "This was an intense workout - lots of rolls and fills. How hard was it to nail the Panozzo style? SINA - "It was quite a challenge to learn this song. I wanted to do the first fills note for note, so I transcribed the passage and learned it by heart. The middle part is not that difficult, but in the end I felt a bit like I was doing a Who cover. But I think that's just my interpretation of the ending, it's not that Moony in the original recording." My husband, who knew a drummer or two back when he played bass two decades ago, was so impressed by Sina's performance he had a couple of questions too - "Do you ever turn the sticks around and play with the butt end for more volume?" SINA - "I sometimes turn the left stick for rimclicks. When there isn't enough time to turn it again until it changes to the usual backbeat, I use the butt end. But I usually don't do this to increase the volume." "Have you ever broken a stick, or a head, or broken a pedal or do you have some other "favorite" drummer's horror story?" SINA - "Oh, I broke many sticks!! I never broke a drumhead or pedal, though. Once, a bass drum beater broke in the middle of a song, but I think that wasn't really my fault. There must have been a manufacturing defect. This was many years ago during practice at home. On one of my very first gigs when I was maybe 12 years old, I lost a stick and later found out that same stick flew all over the stage and hit the bass player. That's my worst story I think." And I think that will have to do for now! Back next week - same time, same channel! ;D
@@julietp.5877 thank you for another great write up, you always do a great job on the write up and giving info. For Sina, that sounds like me trying to play golf, the golf ball would go every place but where it was suppose, 1 time, there were like 5 or 6 guys, standing in a circle, the golf ball dropped in between them.
Juliet! You're killin' it again, wow!! So much great background. I especially like the part; "program directors were like penguins, since they'd follow you around if you had "snow"" Another dirty little secret about the industry. What's the modern substitute, I wonder? Maybe just cash. I noticed that about the reversed drumstick for rimclicks. Under Sina's tutelage I'm noticing quite a lot more than ever before. Sort of dragging me kicking and screaming (with a smile on my face) into better drumming knowledge. And those fills, ah yes. Sina's ability to memorize for this and other pieces is just amazing! Thanks Ro! Great contribution, as always!!
Kid, you dont need my help to promote your channel. U have it going on. You are an excellent drummer! If people pass u bye, u dont need them.. keep rockin kid!
You are immensely talented. In addition, the microphone placement and mix allows me to hear the drums as if I'm standing right in front of your drum kit. Each video of yours is like heaven to my ears.
Holy SMOKES!!! You rocked this song so well, thanks for choosing it, a favorite of mine and i will now attempt it. Just started drum lessons 8 months ago at age 57, gah, you are inspiring rock on
Caustic SodaPop And how about her muscle twitch? Have you seen anything like it before? As far as the song goes, I think she put a little Keith Moon improv into it. I remember hearing her say that she likes to do that with some songs.
Thumbs up from me, yet I might point out that I have virtually zero musical aptitude but had realized decades ago that there is MUCH going on with this song.
This young lady's timing is impeccable. There are a lot of very talented musicians on you tube. Then there are the very few master musicians. Sina is a master drummer no doubt.
Looks like at 4:37 the video is sped up, it’s not ….it’s fricken her. One of my favorite songs, just realized how complex the drums can be. Amazing talent 🙌
Actually this is the part I always wanted to be able play on the piano/keyboard since my youth days (as well as "Don´t let it end" from the Killroy-Album and especially "Best of Times" (from the Cornerstone-Album) - but I never learned that instrument - unfortunately...
I really like your choice of songs because I love classic rock so much. Thank you very much, dear SINA, for your exceptionally professional drumming 👌! I coulmd listen to this for hours without getting bored for a minute.
Such a treat! While I don't play out, I play classic paino by ear for fun. I have an audiographic memory (hear a song, recording, someone doing a stand up comedy act, and it plays back in my head exactly like it was recorded, when I want to play it back again, for years, with all details). I certainly still play this song a lot! As I watch and listen to Sina play, I am comparing it to the original in real time in my head. I absolutely loved it! The precision of every roll, cymbal hit, and timing is pretty much indecernible from the original - absolutely she's at the professional level... and I can see she's having fun. It doesn't get any better than this! Wow.
You make me miss my teenage years. I'm going to be 60 tomorrow and I had a great life. Thank you for your great music and what you do please don't stop you have a gift from God.
Never realized how much drumming is in this song until I watched her going SICK on it !! U cannot get tired of watching her, it’s an addiction, my goodness!!!!!!!
3:33 look at how she almost isn't holding the sticks at all. Her technique is fully developed and "headed for the sky". Her taste, her musicality, her precision, her dedication...what a WONDERFUL package!
Her musical tastes match mine dead on. I love every one of her covers...not just her performance but the songs themselves....form Styx to Iron Maiden and beyond.
Hi Greg, just popping in to say thinking of you, your Dad and family. I’m really going through a lot w/the Hubby- very overwhelmed- and when I come here I gain some calm and peace... between Sina’s expert treatment of the songs of our youth and knowing you’re here too, with Jeff as well... I feel the support of prayers. Thank you Sir for supporting a stranger in this big world, feels a little smaller when I can carve out a few moments for myself on Sina’s channel🙏❤️🌴
@@nancyslider645 I feel the same Nancy. It's strange what brings us peace in our lives. Sina's channel and her magic of bringing back happy memories (thru the songs) and then getting to know both Sina and Mike on a somewhat personal level (as such that one can get thru email and sending Christmas Cards), this is such a friendly and family oriented channel like no other. As I've said, I've never commented on a TH-cam channel before Sina's. And yes, I've made virtual friends with some folks here, you and Jeff being the closest. This is a special place. I'll keep the prayers coming Nancy. I can feel you are a good person. I know we'll chat again in a week at most, so hang in there!!
OK the percussion may start late, but it really gets going. This is, perhaps, my all time favorite song, but I never thought of it a drum intensive before. Amazingly well done!
"... it's not that Moony in the original recording." :-) And that is why I love Sina's channel more than other drummers. I have seen the rest but this is the best. I have been using some of the 'lockdown' time to browse around and check out many other drumming TH-cam channels. I have seen crazy Japanese kids; a very talented technical Indonesian; several American older guys and they all nail the technical aspects but none of them combine technical prowess with the 'feel' that Sina clearly has for the music she is playing, and to add a Who style outro to a classic Styx song - genius !
Steve King - you’re right this is delightful! And I say that as someone who never liked Rush in general and this song in particular. I was so over-played my senior year of high school ... Sina seems to be building a bridge between Keith Moon and Ginger Baker in terms of her style. Technically precise yet gloriously wild and emotional at the same time. I loved the outro!
Sina I had to repost blinded by the light on my Facebook page. You blow my mind girl. God bless you.. I wanna post you on my TH-cam channel but I am still trying,,, I have been around the block with music I'm a singer and I never heard such a tight drummer as you. God bless you. I wish I had some of your talent... ROCK ON SINA DRUMS.. USA LOVES YOU. THANKS FOR THE GREAT TUNES,,,, NICKY CRISTINO, CLEVELAND OHIO, THE ROCK N ROLL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. WE HAVE THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME HERE IN CLEVELAND, YOU, EMILY LINGE AND CARA VEL WILL BE THE SOMEDAY..
I entered "basic drum lessons" in the search feature and watched three lessons by three different people. At the end of number three, a choice of selections that came up with Sina playing some of the 1970s tunes I used to groove on back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Next thing you know, nearly three hours went by as I went from one tune to the other! This sixtysomething fuddy always regretted not learning the drums in my younger days; I'm glad Sina didn't make my mistake. I have subscribed and I'll be back for more.
Welcome! You will often lose hours enjoying all of Sina’s performances, and I mean that in the best way! She is a genuine talented hard-working humble classy young lady with a huge gift....Fan From Florida 🌴
Sina, you are proving that females can be drummers AND make that point on their TALENT alone!!!! NO gimmicks, no skimpy clothing. TALENT!!!! YOU HAVE TALENT AND YOU LOVE MUSIC AND YOUR CRAFT!!!!!!! NEVER SELL OUT YOUR VALUES!!!! KEEP ON ROCKING!!!!!
I don't think anyone ever thought a woman could not be a drummer, many drummers on TH-cam are women, extremely fast hands. I'm just glad to see there's a Young generation that enjoys the music of the '70s and '80s and creating their own sound very similar. Keep rocking
@@prestonlambert9191 I've not seen too many female drummers in my youth. Sina ROCKS!! And I encourage woman to become drummers if that's their goal!!! AND, I'm grateful younger people are exploring the music of my youth!!! There's plenty to pick from!!!
What she did from 0:00 to 1:55....... Well, I could do that blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back! No, really, she is utterly amazing and incredibly talented. How could she possibly get even ONE dislike? Must be a lot of deaf and blind people watching videos on TH-cam! I did put that minute 55 seconds to good use - I subscribed!! Her choice of covers is my kind of music! Her talent should be IMMENSELY rewarded!! Thank you, young lady!!
I'm convinced the downers on there thumb section, give a thumbs down to just get attention. I use to make a lot of comments for their stupidity, but then realized, they give a thumbs down to get to people. I pay no attention to them anymore... I feel sorry for them.
yea so ive been searching,listening closely to different vids trying to get this ..when i should have came strait to sina, couse that is as close as as your going to get to perfect .she is playing exactly what i hear and if i try real hard it will still take me 3 days to memories and play it around half speed and 2 weeks to play it to tempo but ive only been playing part time fore 20 yrs lol
I’ve played music since high school (86’) and was thrilled when the first of my children asked to play music too. ESPECIALLY thrilled when he asked to teach him “my music”....Sam Cooke, Styx, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Ready For The World etc With him, and when I see young crushers like this young woman, it STILL brings welled up tears when they are, not out interested in... but playing my era music. Love to see these young up and comers sharing their talent. And, I try to support them ANY chance I can. Keep Rocking, SINA🤘🏾 Aloha!🤙🏾
As a little boy I would listen to Styx with my Uncle Wasyl who left this world too soon. My eyes were flooded with memories listening to you play Sina. Bless your heart - you are so talented.
Always loved Styx - graduated from high school the year the band got together. "Lady" blew my mind when it came out, and I was hooked. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME job, Sina :) ! You continue to amaze...
I was subscribed from the first minute. How can i not care for the fate of such a talented Woman. I love when you feature other talents. Awesome! Just left another comment, but yeah!, keep on beeing awesome and help each other out there!
Took me sailing back to my early childhood, sitting in my older brother's room listening to Styx, Steely Dan, Supertramp and others on vinyl. Good memories 👍
OMG!!! I have seen Styx in concert back int he day when Dennis was still with them. This is my favorite song by them. You are an incredible drummer! The fact is that it's obvious you love drumming, and this is a FUN song to drum to .. I was drumming to it myself watching you ... The Paradise Theater Tour was the greatest concert I've ever witnessed .. Thanks for the memories!
The drumming in this song is, IMHO, one of the great aspects of the song and might be one of the best drum playing for any composition. I've listened and watched the video many times and I JUST LOVE watching Sina play.
Sina you nailed the song. When your playing you just become part of your drums. I also noticed that your dynamic on the snare is gone and went back to I'll call it regular mic. Thank you so very much for your drum cover's
This song helped me "Sail Away" all the way back to my high school and early college days. Thank you so much for selecting and playing this song as I needed a "pick me up". Truly, it did! Your dad's awesome production capability and your absolute beautiful and graceful drumming week after week leaves me virtually awestruck - every time. This masterpiece is no exception! I look forward each Friday at 10:00 am to enjoying your masterful work! I want you to know your music, poise and professionalism inspires me to do the best at what I do because you always do the best you can do! It's appreciated! Keep the faith and stay safe.
Same same for myself Stanley....right back in the groove listening to this song....and truly admiring Sina's skill and talent....as was said in the book 1984...Double Good! :) Have a great weekend...cheers.
Stanley: you stated it perfectly then and your comment still applies today.... so so many next level performances in the past year! Sina let’s me Sail Away any and every time I need a pick me up. This is in my Top 5 list for sure👍Fan From Florida 🌴
Had the pleasure of seeing Styx in the early 80's in the old Montreal Forum. Front row. Boy what a group of musicians and what a great show. No opening band and a white baby grand piano.
Pop Rock, Power Ballad and Prog Rock all mixed together on this Styx song. The drumming on this tune was a bit more involved than I realized. Great job by Sina as usual. She is a very talented drummer.
Great that Sina has so many likes, but I don't understand the dislikes. OK, everything is down to personal taste, but when a girl from an early age dedicates to play drums (and good rock music too not pop) and has done a cover version of virtually every classic rock song, not only that does it extremely well. Then puts the time and effort to have it recorded so that others can also enjoy, how could someone dislike that? Female drummers are rare enough by themselves but we have someone here who is representative of the next generation of rock musicians.
If you have all notifications set and this pops up, I'm replying to a comment you made a week ago about sina-drums receiving dislikes. People watch videos TH-cam puts on their home page and like/dislike according to their taste. This trains the TH-cam algorithm to their preferences. So it's not that they *_hate_* sina, just that they're not interested in drumming videos. I'm bothering to write this because I see people wondering about dislikes in comment sections all over TH-cam and I'm trying to spread this knowledge.
@@TimStCroix Thank you for this. I never even thought about the fact that fantastic videos with a very low dislike ratio is just people training the algorithm for what they are interested in watching.
Styx and Doobie Bro’s. Are the heart Of my generation and yet you have discovered a way to re-kindle my love for their and your music! Another example of perfect playing with such ease and composure. Come Sail Away is fantastic!
Sina Is So Good! When I served onboard the USS Sacramento 77-79 this was our break away song from UNREP. Sina reminds me of the day of the time sailing at sea. Fair Winds And Following Seas! You Go Girl!
I have no knowledge of how difficult it is to play the drums,however I’ve been watching Sina for a couple years now and drum covers and breaking down rhythms …educational ones …and it’s just so amazing! I have so much respect for drummers. Thank you Sina and God bless!
Sina, this is truly an Awesome Performance of John Panozzo's (RIP) unbelievable Drumming that he composed for this song, and you did it flawlessly!!! BRAVO 👏
You Sina have shown many of us old timers what we should have been and you've practically have picked our classics and are becoming master of tempo. It is one of the most important role of the group (band members) to keep tempo and should be important to all musicians: which helps give a person more confidence. Just as some have said keep your heart true to the beat and to heck with partners, drugs, alcohol but make it if possible, to earn and get a solid education in your time off.
Love seeing such a young talented musician just getting into it..love when such young muscians keep this alive, thank you from the bottom of my old dude heart..
Your song choices are awesome, watching your videos takes me back to my childhood. There is a lot of good music today, but nothing like the late 70’s and all of the 80’s, this is by far when the best drumming was done, you are spot on, thanks for sharing! 👍😀
If you haven't subscribed yet, you're missing a LOT! I LOVE THIS LADY!!! You inspire me, Sina. Wish I'd had the guts to stand up in 1968 and say I WANT TO BE A DRUMMER!!!! Just wasn't what was possible then. Sina, you are amazing.
A little choked up right now ... Styx are one of my all-time favorites and the late John Panozzo is quite underrated. Loved the groove in his drumming and his seemingly endless barrage of great drums fills - which you nailed Sina! Nicely done!
Great job with a slow song starting out and fantastic finish . I grew up just west of Roseland where Most of the Band came from, they played High Schools all over Chicago area in the bands early days. . we saw them in a local fest one summer and thought these guys are great. Years later I used to see Dennis DeYoung at a restaurant in Orland park IL many times. When i was walking out I said saw you guys at DuPage county fair i think it was early 70's. He would say thanks for being a Fan. never disturbed him again but he remembered me, always said hello and thanks. he was always very nice to the fans
Awesome, and recorded on my 60th birthday! Amazing talent! Have always loved the drum part on "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" from Elton John's Yellowbrick Road. Love the back beat and the high hats. Hope you cover it some day!! Keep on entertaining!!
Steady, remarkable, talent that continues to grow before our very eyes. Please don't question it...simply trust what ever is driving your choices. Thank you for sharing your process with us...The World!!!
I'm not a drummer, (or any musician for that matter) so I wouldn't know if you slipped up on any part or not, but I do know what I like, and I have been subscribed to your channel for around 6 years, because I really enjoy your videos and drums. I really can't understand why all those people don't subscribe and click the bell. I mean, they're going to come here anyway. 942k subscribers, and wouldn't it be fun and interesting to be able to be the "one millionth subscriber". You all need to step up your game to Sina's level and get on board. Don't be lazy. LOL
Mea Culpa on subscription. I watch Sina's videos fairly often and appreciate the talent, but for some reason never actually hit that Subscription button until now. She could easily be a great session musician or drummer in a top tier group.
@@miller1, Good job on subscribing, and I agree with your last comment 100%. When I was watching this video, I was thinking she could play with any group, and that it would be so cool if a top tier group featured her on a few of their songs. Sometimes, really good musicians or artists in any field get over looked just because they don't get the right break.
Sina, you are young, beautiful and have been blessed with the best gift one can have in this world. The gift of music. I hope you have a long happy life filled with joy. Threw music you have touched so many and caused a positive impact on their lives, for this I thank you. Much love to you.
John Panozzo has always been hopelessly underrated as one of the premier drummers of his time. Sina absolutely nails the Panozzo style, which I've always felt was just as rich and full of out of the ordinary runs and fill that Keith Moon brought to the skins. Bravo!
Don;t remember if I've commented on this. But, this is another example of Sina's expertise on the drums. I probably listen to her covers and originals more than any others. I simply can't get enough of Sina's performances. Another awesome drum cover here...
This is probably my favorite cover( but I like me all). April 1st 1981 Styz came to Indianapolis, In to play at market square arena at which time I was fortunate enough to be one of the limo drivers for the band. Drove for many bands but it seemed like Styx was ahead of there time in there stage presence and showmanship, I was hooked they became my favorite concert, and Loverboy was the most fun, thanks to you Sina for bringing back fun memories. Carry on.
I have been watching Sina drum videos for the last two days. This young artist becomes one with the song. It’s like she is in the zone and all her movements flow with the music. I don’t think you can teach students to drum like Sina. She has a natural talent to feel each song that makes her so exceptional.
Watching you play fills me with joy. Joy of the songs from my past I remember so well. Joy of watching you do something you love doing. Joy that songs, while they may be generational, are enjoyed by someone who wasn't even born with they came out. Joy of watching your express your musical talent, and being able to close my eyes and relive the songs I grew up with. Very inspirational, very talented, very much appreciated from an old guy who grew up with these songs! Thank you Sina! I've only discovered your channel today by chance, and already listened to a lot of them. If I had to pick a favorite...I'd be hard-pressed to narrow it down....but Boston's Foreplay and Rush's Tom Sawyer....I can't tell you how many times I played the air-drums to those songs on my cassette player....hmmm...you've probably never seen one of those in real life! Kinda' puts how impressed I am with your talent in perspective. :) As corny as it sounds...keep rockin' on!
Styx And Stones Can Break Your Sticks - So Always Carry Spares :D
"Come Sail Away", as performed by American prog-rock / arena-rock band Styx, was written by Dennis DeYoung - the band's main songwriter and vocalist. It's the fourth song on their seventh studio album 'The Grand Illusion' which was recorded at Paragon Recording Studion in Chicago in 1977. The album was released on July 7, 1977 and "Come Sail Away" was the first single released. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #89 on Sept 24, 1977 and peaked at #8 on Jan 28, 1978. 'The Grand Illusion' peaked at#6 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was a breakout hit for the band and eventually was certified trile platinum.
Although Styx had a devoted fanbase, they were tired of being considered a second tier act, always opening for bands like Foghat, Rush, Aerosmith, etc. DeYoung used his frustration as inspiration for the lyrics. Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw and promo man Jim Cahill took a different approach to secure radio play. According to SongFacts- "This being the '70s, radio stations played a big role in promoting songs, and program directors could often be swayed with gifts of money and drugs. Payola, was of course, illegal, but that didn't stop Shaw and Cahill from traveling to many of the stations with bags of cocaine in an effort to get more airplay for this song. The tactic worked; Cahill explained on 'Styx Behind The Music' that program directors were like penguins, since they'd follow you around if you had "snow""
Some of the lyrics are a bit "out there". SongFacts states - "The last part of this song where the angels/aliens come to visit can be seen as an allusion to the Bible verse of Ezekiel chapter 1:1-28 where a large wheel/cloud (depending on text) appears to Ezekiel and gives him instructions from God. Some people believe the figure Ezekiel saw was not a messenger sent from God but an alien space craft or a time machine from the future."
The movie 'Star Wars' was released a little over a month before "The Grand Illusion". It could just be the era. You decide :D
Tommy Shaw - “Much of The Grand Illusion album was to do with the disillusionment of finding out that the things we had all dreamed about weren’t quite what they were cut out to be.”

And I think that will have to do for now! Back next week - same time, same channel! ;D
Thank you JulietP and Miss Ro for another fact packed write-up!! You both continue to kill it with your details!! Loved Sina's little stories!!
Thanks for another lovely interview and write-up, Rosanna and Juliet!!
@@julietp.5877 thank you for another great write up, you always do a great job on the write up and giving info.
For Sina, that sounds like me trying to play golf, the golf ball would go every place but where it was suppose, 1 time, there were like 5 or 6 guys, standing in a circle, the golf ball dropped in between them.
Juliet! You're killin' it again, wow!! So much great background. I especially like the part; "program directors were like penguins, since they'd follow you around if you had "snow"" Another dirty little secret about the industry. What's the modern substitute, I wonder? Maybe just cash.
I noticed that about the reversed drumstick for rimclicks. Under Sina's tutelage I'm noticing quite a lot more than ever before. Sort of dragging me kicking and screaming (with a smile on my face) into better drumming knowledge.
And those fills, ah yes. Sina's ability to memorize for this and other pieces is just amazing!
Thanks Ro! Great contribution, as always!!

I can't agree more.
Agreed!!👍
Totally agree!!!
@@mikiwikisi1919 Agree !
Yeah, her drum covers are definitely a nostalgia trip for me. The best of music from my youth.
Holy SMOKES!!! You rocked this song so well, thanks for choosing it, a favorite of mine and i will now attempt it. Just started drum lessons 8 months ago at age 57, gah, you are inspiring
rock on
ive watched a lot of drummers and i really belive your the best and my favorite
The is what the "Flow" state looks like. Awesome, Sina!
I've been a drummer for 35 years and there is a hell of a lot more going on in that song than I realized
My thoughts exactly
I agree with you 100 percent my friend
Caustic SodaPop And how about her muscle twitch? Have you seen anything like it before? As far as the song goes, I think she put a little Keith Moon improv into it. I remember hearing her say that she likes to do that with some songs.
Thumbs up from me, yet I might point out that I have virtually zero musical aptitude but had realized decades ago that there is MUCH going on with this song.
After watching her play it was hard to keep up with where she was hitting
This young lady's timing is impeccable. There are a lot of very talented musicians on you tube. Then there are the very few master musicians. Sina is a master drummer no doubt.
agree!! slow it down to 1/2 speed and you will get twice the appriciation!
Looks like at 4:37 the video is sped up, it’s not ….it’s fricken her. One of my favorite songs, just realized how complex the drums can be. Amazing talent 🙌
I watched two of your videos and then I subscribed.
Neil Peart, Cozy Powell and now John Panazzo.
You are a serious badass!!!
Another cover at a million views. Well 930 thousand here in late January. It will be a million by summer
This video gets about 10K views a month so it's on track to reach a million in July or August 2024.
This young lady brings tears to my eyes with the songs she pulls up from the past. What really gets to me is how great she is!!
I reckon i could nail 0:00 to 01:55. After that though,well that's when the talent shines through.
Yeah I could probably nail that part too.
yep
Lmao
Great comment. Made me laugh.
Actually this is the part I always wanted to be able play on the piano/keyboard since my youth days (as well as "Don´t let it end" from the Killroy-Album and especially "Best of Times" (from the Cornerstone-Album) - but I never learned that instrument - unfortunately...
I really like your choice of songs because I love classic rock so much.
Thank you very much, dear SINA, for your exceptionally professional drumming 👌!
I coulmd listen to this for hours without getting bored for a minute.
I watched the first 1:56 and thought, Wow, I could have been a drummer, and then Sina started using both hands. Damn.
Styx. Classic. Close my eyes and just sail away with Sina.
DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE YOU’RE WATCHING A MUSICAL BLESSING UNFOLDING RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES? 🙏 YOU SINA
YES!!!!! 💥🔥
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
💯
She is amazing, I hope she will be blessing all our musical futures for many years to come, Go Sina
Such a treat! While I don't play out, I play classic paino by ear for fun. I have an audiographic memory (hear a song, recording, someone doing a stand up comedy act, and it plays back in my head exactly like it was recorded, when I want to play it back again, for years, with all details). I certainly still play this song a lot! As I watch and listen to Sina play, I am comparing it to the original in real time in my head. I absolutely loved it! The precision of every roll, cymbal hit, and timing is pretty much indecernible from the original - absolutely she's at the professional level... and I can see she's having fun. It doesn't get any better than this! Wow.
You make me miss my teenage years.
I'm going to be 60 tomorrow and I had a great life.
Thank you for your great music and what you do please don't stop you have a gift from God.
you said it!!! I will be 60 in june
I turned 60 last July. I get it.
She has excellent taste in music! I grew up loving this!!
Graduated in 1978... my all time favorite from high school!!!
Never realized how much drumming is in this song until I watched her going SICK on it !! U cannot get tired of watching her, it’s an addiction, my goodness!!!!!!!
3:33 look at how she almost isn't holding the sticks at all. Her technique is fully developed and "headed for the sky". Her taste, her musicality, her precision, her dedication...what a WONDERFUL package!
No callouses there. Just fantastic instructors.(the student was pretty good too)
Phenomenal. This LADY is on spot. It doesn’t get any better than that.
After all these years, you're still a pleasure to watch Sina!
She has the ferocity of a Tommy Aldridge and the finess of Neil Pert. And apparently the memory of an elephant! Impressive and outstanding!
Awesome is how I describe your talent and choice of music. You should be very proud of your accomplishments!!👍👍 I’m subscribed.
Her musical tastes match mine dead on. I love every one of her covers...not just her performance but the songs themselves....form Styx to Iron Maiden and beyond.
Sina....Styx.....Sail Away. What's more perfect heading into the weekend? Another impeccable performance Sina. What a way to begin the summer season!!
Hi Greg, just popping in to say thinking of you, your Dad and family. I’m really going through a lot w/the Hubby- very overwhelmed- and when I come here I gain some calm and peace... between Sina’s expert treatment of the songs of our youth and knowing you’re here too, with Jeff as well... I feel the support of prayers. Thank you Sir for supporting a stranger in this big world, feels a little smaller when I can carve out a few moments for myself on Sina’s channel🙏❤️🌴
@@nancyslider645 I feel the same Nancy. It's strange what brings us peace in our lives. Sina's channel and her magic of bringing back happy memories (thru the songs) and then getting to know both Sina and Mike on a somewhat personal level (as such that one can get thru email and sending Christmas Cards), this is such a friendly and family oriented channel like no other. As I've said, I've never commented on a TH-cam channel before Sina's. And yes, I've made virtual friends with some folks here, you and Jeff being the closest. This is a special place. I'll keep the prayers coming Nancy. I can feel you are a good person. I know we'll chat again in a week at most, so hang in there!!
@@gregyancoskie5664 many many thanks Greg... have a great weekend🌴
Sina, Thank you for allowing me to Sail Away back in time. Great Song by a Great Band and covered by an Awesome Drummer!!!
Same hear my friend
i feel you man
There is magic in sailing....in a simple boat or ship...it is another world...freedom with human angels and spiritual angels
OK the percussion may start late, but it really gets going. This is, perhaps, my all time favorite song, but I never thought of it a drum intensive before. Amazingly well done!
"... it's not that Moony in the original recording." :-) And that is why I love Sina's channel more than other drummers. I have seen the rest but this is the best. I have been using some of the 'lockdown' time to browse around and check out many other drumming TH-cam channels. I have seen crazy Japanese kids; a very talented technical Indonesian; several American older guys and they all nail the technical aspects but none of them combine technical prowess with the 'feel' that Sina clearly has for the music she is playing, and to add a Who style outro to a classic Styx song - genius !
I love the drums.. SINA is perfect.
Yes Sina is very good, but I hope you don't refer Yoyoka as a "crazy Japanse kid"... 🤔
Steve King - you’re right this is delightful! And I say that as someone who never liked Rush in general and this song in particular. I was so over-played my senior year of high school ...
Sina seems to be building a bridge between Keith Moon and Ginger Baker in terms of her style. Technically precise yet gloriously wild and emotional at the same time. I loved the outro!
@@FrankMulderVideo Hi I was actually referring to JUNNA, but thanks for the tip off will check that one out next
Moony! My new favourite adjective!
Sina I had to repost blinded by the light on my Facebook page. You blow my mind girl. God bless you.. I wanna post you on my TH-cam channel but I am still trying,,, I have been around the block with music I'm a singer and I never heard such a tight drummer as you. God bless you. I wish I had some of your talent... ROCK ON SINA DRUMS.. USA LOVES YOU. THANKS FOR THE GREAT TUNES,,,, NICKY CRISTINO, CLEVELAND OHIO, THE ROCK N ROLL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. WE HAVE THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME HERE IN CLEVELAND, YOU, EMILY LINGE AND CARA VEL WILL BE THE SOMEDAY..
I entered "basic drum lessons" in the search feature and watched three lessons by three different people. At the end of number three, a choice of selections that came up with Sina playing some of the 1970s tunes I used to groove on back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Next thing you know, nearly three hours went by as I went from one tune to the other! This sixtysomething fuddy always regretted not learning the drums in my younger days; I'm glad Sina didn't make my mistake. I have subscribed and I'll be back for more.
Welcome! You will often lose hours enjoying all of Sina’s performances, and I mean that in the best way! She is a genuine talented hard-working humble classy young lady with a huge gift....Fan From Florida 🌴
She is Amazing I'll have to agree!!!!
I am 61,and have rocked for 50 years, you have the gift to fly as high as you dire
gathering of angles... headed for the sky. LOVE Your work kiddo!
Sina, you are proving that females can be drummers AND make that point on their TALENT alone!!!! NO gimmicks, no skimpy clothing.
TALENT!!!! YOU HAVE TALENT AND YOU LOVE MUSIC AND YOUR CRAFT!!!!!!!
NEVER SELL OUT YOUR VALUES!!!!
KEEP ON ROCKING!!!!!
I don't think anyone ever thought a woman could not be a drummer, many drummers on TH-cam are women, extremely fast hands. I'm just glad to see there's a Young generation that enjoys the music of the '70s and '80s and creating their own sound very similar. Keep rocking
@@prestonlambert9191 I've not seen too many female drummers in my youth.
Sina ROCKS!! And I encourage woman to become drummers if that's their goal!!!
AND, I'm grateful younger people are exploring the music of my youth!!!
There's plenty to pick from!!!
Drummers are in an athletic class all by themselves, and you are a prime example of one! Awesome!!!
What she did from 0:00 to 1:55....... Well, I could do that blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back! No, really, she is utterly amazing and incredibly talented. How could she possibly get even ONE dislike? Must be a lot of deaf and blind people watching videos on TH-cam! I did put that minute 55 seconds to good use - I subscribed!! Her choice of covers is my kind of music! Her talent should be IMMENSELY rewarded!! Thank you, young lady!!
I'm convinced the downers on there thumb section, give a thumbs down to just get attention. I use to make a lot of comments for their stupidity, but then realized, they give a thumbs down to get to people. I pay no attention to them anymore... I feel sorry for them.
yea so ive been searching,listening closely to different vids trying to get this ..when i should have came strait to sina, couse that is as close as as your going to get to perfect .she is playing exactly what i hear and if i try real hard it will still take me 3 days to memories and play it around half speed and 2 weeks to play it to tempo but ive only been playing part time fore 20 yrs lol
Sent you to my daughter who is a music GM of a school of rock. As an inspiration and as ideas for concerts. Fun is the rule! You embrace fun!
I’ve played music since high school (86’) and was thrilled when the first of my children asked to play music too.
ESPECIALLY thrilled when he asked to teach him “my music”....Sam Cooke, Styx, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Ready For The World etc
With him, and when I see young crushers like this young woman, it STILL brings welled up tears when they are, not out interested in... but playing my era music.
Love to see these young up and comers sharing their talent. And, I try to support them ANY chance I can.
Keep Rocking, SINA🤘🏾
Aloha!🤙🏾
As a little boy I would listen to Styx with my Uncle Wasyl who left this world too soon. My eyes were flooded with memories listening to you play Sina. Bless your heart - you are so talented.
Always loved Styx - graduated from high school the year the band got together. "Lady" blew my mind when it came out, and I was hooked. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME job, Sina :) ! You continue to amaze...
I was subscribed from the first minute. How can i not care for the fate of such a talented Woman. I love when you feature other talents. Awesome! Just left another comment, but yeah!, keep on beeing awesome and help each other out there!
So groovy and Keith Moon-y... Nice one. Cheers from Texas.
Took me sailing back to my early childhood, sitting in my older brother's room listening to Styx, Steely Dan, Supertramp and others on vinyl. Good memories 👍
Sina rocks the drums like no other. I could listen to her all day long. Rocking those drums. She is amazing.
Another one of my favorites! Impeccably covered on the drums! 😉 Thank you!
I've said it before, Sina u are awesome intertainment. I don't watch TV much now, I watch Sina videos
OMG!!! I have seen Styx in concert back int he day when Dennis was still with them. This is my favorite song by them. You are an incredible drummer! The fact is that it's obvious you love drumming, and this is a FUN song to drum to .. I was drumming to it myself watching you ... The Paradise Theater Tour was the greatest concert I've ever witnessed .. Thanks for the memories!
The drumming in this song is, IMHO, one of the great aspects of the song and might be one of the best drum playing for any composition. I've listened and watched the video many times and I JUST LOVE watching Sina play.
Sina you nailed the song. When your playing you just become part of your drums. I also noticed that your dynamic on the snare is gone and went back to I'll call it regular mic. Thank you so very much for your drum cover's
This song helped me "Sail Away" all the way back to my high school and early college days. Thank you so much for selecting and playing this song as I needed a "pick me up". Truly, it did! Your dad's awesome production capability and your absolute beautiful and graceful drumming week after week leaves me virtually awestruck - every time. This masterpiece is no exception! I look forward each Friday at 10:00 am to enjoying your masterful work! I want you to know your music, poise and professionalism inspires me to do the best at what I do because you always do the best you can do! It's appreciated! Keep the faith and stay safe.
Instead of just a thumbs up, I feel Stanley’s comment couldn’t have been stated any better....so just wanted to get that in!
Same same for myself Stanley....right back in the groove listening to this song....and truly admiring Sina's skill and talent....as was said in the book 1984...Double Good! :) Have a great weekend...cheers.
Stanley: you stated it perfectly then and your comment still applies today.... so so many next level performances in the past year! Sina let’s me Sail Away any and every time I need a pick me up. This is in my Top 5 list for sure👍Fan From Florida 🌴
Had the pleasure of seeing Styx in the early 80's in the old Montreal Forum. Front row. Boy what a group of musicians and what a great show. No opening band and a white baby grand piano.
Pop Rock, Power Ballad and Prog Rock all mixed together on this Styx song. The drumming on this tune was a bit more involved than I realized. Great job by Sina as usual. She is a very talented drummer.
This a great tribute to John Panozza. Him and his brother Chuck were the backbone of the Styx rhteym section for the best years
It sucks John died.
As a fellow musician, I have a true love for "greatness". I predict this young lady will be one of the greatest drummers of all time!
Agreed. I've been the lead-singer in 4 bands & back-up singer in 2
Listened to a lot of her work and I fully agree. If she endures, she will indeed be one of the greatest drummers of all time.
she has my vote
She already is in my eyes. She amazes me!!
Great that Sina has so many likes, but I don't understand the dislikes. OK, everything is down to personal taste, but when a girl from an early age dedicates to play drums (and good rock music too not pop) and has done a cover version of virtually every classic rock song, not only that does it extremely well. Then puts the time and effort to have it recorded so that others can also enjoy, how could someone dislike that?
Female drummers are rare enough by themselves but we have someone here who is representative of the next generation of rock musicians.
If you have all notifications set and this pops up, I'm replying to a comment you made a week ago about sina-drums receiving dislikes. People watch videos TH-cam puts on their home page and like/dislike according to their taste. This trains the TH-cam algorithm to their preferences. So it's not that they *_hate_* sina, just that they're not interested in drumming videos.
I'm bothering to write this because I see people wondering about dislikes in comment sections all over TH-cam and I'm trying to spread this knowledge.
It's because she confused them with her hybrid John Panozzo/Todd Sucherman approach to this song.
JEALOUSY, PERIOD.
@@TimStCroix Thank you for this. I never even thought about the fact that fantastic videos with a very low dislike ratio is just people training the algorithm for what they are interested in watching.
Yeah i hate these dislikes too. Probably these are girls her age. 💁🏻♀️
Wow, speechless! Nicely freaking done!
Talent like yours makes the whole world better
Styx and Doobie Bro’s. Are the heart
Of my generation and yet you have discovered a way to re-kindle my love for their and your music! Another example of perfect playing with such ease and composure. Come Sail Away is fantastic!
Never realized what went into this song. Old Joke (punchline) "I thought drummers just sat around". Actually the hardest workers in the group.
One of the best drummer I've ever seen. She was born with the right taste and feeling
Another great song another great band sticks great job Rock on
I play bass to your drum's all the time love it girl much love keep it up
Sina Is So Good! When I served onboard the USS Sacramento 77-79 this was our break away song from UNREP. Sina reminds me of the day of the time sailing at sea. Fair Winds And Following Seas! You Go Girl!
I have no knowledge of how difficult it is to play the drums,however I’ve been watching Sina for a couple years now and drum covers and breaking down rhythms …educational ones …and it’s just so amazing! I have so much respect for drummers. Thank you Sina and God bless!
Sina, this is truly an Awesome Performance of John Panozzo's (RIP) unbelievable Drumming that he composed for this song, and you did it flawlessly!!! BRAVO 👏
You Sina have shown many of us old timers what we should have been and you've practically have picked our classics and are becoming master of tempo. It is one of the most important role of the group (band members) to keep tempo and should be important to all musicians: which helps give a person more confidence. Just as some have said keep your heart true to the beat and to heck with partners, drugs, alcohol but make it if possible, to earn and get a solid education in your time off.
All hail to the classic rock Gods. Keep 'em coming! Gives me hope for the new generation.
Love seeing such a young talented musician just getting into it..love when such young muscians keep this alive, thank you from the bottom of my old dude heart..
You are unbelievable. Props to your parents who clearly support you. Brings a tear to my eye to see this kind of talent at this age. Keep playin'!
OMG!!!! Sina, you outdid yourself on This one!!!!! WOW!!!!! U're one fantastic drummer!!!!!! Blown away!!!!!
God given gifts skills and talents on display!!!❤
Watching her drumsticks is just so mesmerizing. Dang, they're just going at amazing speed, but beautiful to watch. Amazin'
Your song choices are awesome, watching your videos takes me back to my childhood. There is a lot of good music today, but nothing like the late 70’s and all of the 80’s, this is by far when the best drumming was done, you are spot on, thanks for sharing! 👍😀
If you haven't subscribed yet, you're missing a LOT! I LOVE THIS LADY!!! You inspire me, Sina. Wish I'd had the guts to stand up in 1968 and say I WANT TO BE A DRUMMER!!!! Just wasn't what was possible then. Sina, you are amazing.
Wow that's a new dimension and a new dramatic level for a classic rock song. And the outro is super. Thanks a lot, Sina, for this wonderful cover.
I love the music you play. Some of my favorites
One of my favourite 70's-80's bands, thanks, your studio sounds the best on YOU TUBE.
I love watching your excitement behind the drums.....it lifts me up Miss Doering.....please carry on.....
And another GREAT performance by Sina. You keep outdoing yourself. One of my favorite Styx songs. Thanks for keeping rock and roll alive!
A little choked up right now ... Styx are one of my all-time favorites and the late John Panozzo is quite underrated. Loved the groove in his drumming and his seemingly endless barrage of great drums fills - which you nailed Sina! Nicely done!
Great job with a slow song starting out and fantastic finish .
I grew up just west of Roseland where Most of the Band came from, they played High Schools all over Chicago area in the bands early days. . we saw them in a local fest one summer and thought these guys are great.
Years later I used to see Dennis DeYoung at a restaurant in Orland park IL many times. When i was walking out I said saw you guys at DuPage county fair i think it was early 70's. He would say thanks for being a Fan. never disturbed him again but he remembered me, always said hello and thanks. he was always very nice to the fans
Awesome, and recorded on my 60th birthday! Amazing talent! Have always loved the drum part on "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" from Elton John's Yellowbrick Road. Love the back beat and the high hats. Hope you cover it some day!! Keep on entertaining!!
Steady, remarkable, talent that continues to grow before our very eyes. Please don't question it...simply trust what ever is driving your choices. Thank you for sharing your process with us...The World!!!
Your showing why these songs are so great and timeless. This one really showed off your talent. Man I felt this was your best video yet.
I'm not a drummer, (or any musician for that matter) so I wouldn't know if you slipped up on any part or not, but I do know what I like, and I have been subscribed to your channel for around 6 years, because I really enjoy your videos and drums. I really can't understand why all those people don't subscribe and click the bell. I mean, they're going to come here anyway. 942k subscribers, and wouldn't it be fun and interesting to be able to be the "one millionth subscriber". You all need to step up your game to Sina's level and get on board. Don't be lazy. LOL
Mea Culpa on subscription. I watch Sina's videos fairly often and appreciate the talent, but for some reason never actually hit that Subscription button until now. She could easily be a great session musician or drummer in a top tier group.
@@miller1, Good job on subscribing, and I agree with your last comment 100%. When I was watching this video, I was thinking she could play with any group, and that it would be so cool if a top tier group featured her on a few of their songs. Sometimes, really good musicians or artists in any field get over looked just because they don't get the right break.
Dang, I love how you cover 80s rock hits! The golden age of music. And I totally think you ROCK! Keep the covers coming!
Sina that is the best drum cover I have ever heard of Come Sail With Me. Thanks for the show.
Sina, you are young, beautiful and have been blessed with the best gift one can have in this world. The gift of music. I hope you have a long happy life filled with joy. Threw music you have touched so many and caused a positive impact on their lives, for this I thank you. Much love to you.
Wow! That is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen! You totally rocked it!! Thank you for posting these videos of yours.
John Panozzo has always been hopelessly underrated as one of the premier drummers of his time. Sina absolutely nails the Panozzo style, which I've always felt was just as rich and full of out of the ordinary runs and fill that Keith Moon brought to the skins. Bravo!
dont forgot John also followed Buddy rich .. THE all time BEST drummer ...
You're SO right
Don;t remember if I've commented on this. But, this is another example of Sina's expertise on the drums. I probably listen to her covers and originals more than any others. I simply can't get enough of Sina's performances. Another awesome drum cover here...
This is probably my favorite cover( but I like me all). April 1st 1981 Styz came to Indianapolis, In to play at market square arena at which time I was fortunate enough to be one of the limo drivers for the band. Drove for many bands but it seemed like Styx was ahead of there time in there stage presence and showmanship, I was hooked they became my favorite concert, and Loverboy was the most fun, thanks to you Sina for bringing back fun memories. Carry on.
I have been watching Sina drum videos for the last two days. This young artist becomes one with the song. It’s like she is in the zone and all her movements flow with the music. I don’t think you can teach students to drum like Sina. She has a natural talent to feel each song that makes her so exceptional.
Agreed🤜🤛
Watching you play fills me with joy. Joy of the songs from my past I remember so well. Joy of watching you do something you love doing. Joy that songs, while they may be generational, are enjoyed by someone who wasn't even born with they came out. Joy of watching your express your musical talent, and being able to close my eyes and relive the songs I grew up with. Very inspirational, very talented, very much appreciated from an old guy who grew up with these songs! Thank you Sina! I've only discovered your channel today by chance, and already listened to a lot of them. If I had to pick a favorite...I'd be hard-pressed to narrow it down....but Boston's Foreplay and Rush's Tom Sawyer....I can't tell you how many times I played the air-drums to those songs on my cassette player....hmmm...you've probably never seen one of those in real life! Kinda' puts how impressed I am with your talent in perspective. :) As corny as it sounds...keep rockin' on!
i used to be interested in drummers not before. that has now changed. it's just so nice to watch and listen to you..
Way cool. You killed it. For what is worth, you had me on the cymbals, Dynamics are key in my book. Rock on girl!
