A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum); drum cover by Sina

- Опубліковано 20 лют 2020
- One of the most iconic 60s hymns!
I tried to re-create the original drum part and we mixed the drums a bit more 'up-front'. If you think the drums are too loud now, you are perfectly right, they are. But please consider that this is a drum cover and you can still listen to the original version. It's still out there somewhere, I did not delete it ;))

I was born in 1953. I grew up with this song in my ears and in my heart, because it has accompanied me since the very first time I danced with girls. I know every single note and beat of it, and I play it on the organ too, and I must say that your cover is perfect down to the smallest detail. Thank you for this emotion.
The crowd called out for more and Sina delivered.
one of my fav music tnx sina baby for revive this music,ilove it to sing in KARAOKE

@@procesofeleo3264 She Does on some songs..."stay tuned" LoL 🌝
I was born in 1954. About this such young lady performing, I can only say: my deep respect!
1954 also. I'm amazed at this young lady.
ja! i'm another one from 1954...
what a great song for us and my respects too for this young lady
✌️✌️
Another 1954 here too. Its like she has an "old spirit", where she really enjoys the old tunes, and does them real justice. Props to her.
I too am a 54 model and to see these young talents gravitating to the 60's warms my heart. Quite possibly the best decade of music ever! Indeed, You go girl!!!!!!
@@brianpiersol9412 I was actually a "model" as a child in the 50s. Magazines, catalogs, and even a TV commercial for Robert Hall clothing.
Where's my money????????
I was born in 1952. Still love this song. And Sina on the Drums is fantastic.
Yea..she.s..fantastic..preaty.girl
I don't care how Sina mixes her drums; I consider this to be a privilege just to see her perform her talent on the drums. And she's creating her own unique skills as she tries different techniques on her journey to become the best drummer that she can be. You go, girl!

Dumbass
agree
T Larson,
Thumbs up and WELL SAID!
@@amristar736 Theodor Kittelsen called. He wanted his motif back...
Oh yeah !!!
Bet she knows more songs from that great era of music ,”60s 70s and 80s”than anyone else her age.
Absolutely...
And aren't We glad?
credits to her parents
she does not disapoint
yes! i agree very talented.
A good honour to B. J. Wilson, the fantastic drummer of Procol Harum....
The right music for midnight - for my age 66!
Thanks, Sina.
Well, I was born in 1960 and remember this song. I believe it was the first slow song I ever danced to with a girl. Junior High School freshman year. Thanks for bringing back this memory Sina. Your just an awesome young lady!
I was born in 1962 and this song has accompanied my life. With tears in my eyes I see how you play the drum part of this song. Thank you!
Tears in mine as well
Me too
Lol !

Me too,always and forever!
Das geht mir auch so...
In juli 2021 we here in Holland have lost one of the greatest persons and this was his favoriete song. 10 years ago I lost my dad to cancer and at his funeral he wanted this song to be played. Sina......please keep on playing! Let the drums play! The 🌎 needs this! ♥️
THIS IS ORIGINAL DRUMS, BRAVO ! Most of other drummers played wrongly, but this one - great!
R.I.P Mr. Gary Brooker .... Innalillahi wa Inna ilaihi raajioon… May Allah ease his eternal journey and grant him Jannah….
I was a background technician in several Munich radio, television and music studios from the late 70s to the late 80s.
I was allowed to accompany countless music productions. Believe me, Sina is one of the best, no, she is the best drummer I have seen in my life. I hope the right people will wake up soon to recognize what a huge diamond she is.
She definitely belongs on the biggest stages with the best musicians in the world!
All the best, dear Sina!
Stimme dir voll zu und würde sie z.B. gerne mal mit Andy Latimer ( CAMEL ) auf einer grossen Bühne in Holland oder Deutschland sehen !
RIP Gary Brooker
Johann sebastian Bach on keyboard, Ray Charles on vocal , Salvador Dali was the song lyrics writer and Sina on drums. Marvelous masterpiece ever.
And if it was me the sculptor of a realy beautiful maiden that could be reached by soul and got to move.

Saw mr booker with. Ringo
Terrific live show
If Sina, Cara and Emily ever threw a live concert, it would fill a stadium 3 times over
There is just something about this song...dreamy/ethereal...makes me just relax and ponder.
I remember this song well. I was born in 1962. Beautifully played Sina! 🙂
I was born in 1952 and I think was in your age when this song came out. No I´m sitting here with wet eyes and see how you play this song
God bless you Gary Brooker R.I.P
Rock and roll was truly the age of musical enlightenment for the young. It really allowed them freedom of speech and thought. Poetry turned to music. I'm so happy you cover these jewels..
If rock n roll is enlightment then religion was brainwashing us into opposite. 😐
Friken nice - love the ending (shows both her sense of song and time). I'd hire her. Probably can't afford her at this point in her career - she's kicking butt - happy for that for her. Wish I knew her younger and hungrier when I was playing in Nashville
Amazing drumming to a classic song. You weren't even born yet when this song came out in '67 if memory serves me correctly. You show great taste in music here.
What impresses me the most here is, if my mind remembers correctly, when the band initially did this song in the studio, it was recorded, but the band's drummer was out that day and a different drummer was brought in. Later, the band member could not reproduce that great drumming, so they went with the other guy's recording. Sina has reproduced what Procol Harum's real drummer could not. Outstanding work, young lady.
She has found her bliss. No place she'd rather be. Nothing she'd rather be doing. I can see it all over her face. Pure contentment!
This is what passion for something brings! Happiness!
I have the alarm set for SINA for post! I love you girl!! Great song and performance! BRAVO!
My neighbor told me he just purchased a drum set incase I here him. I told him to bring it on and oh btw let me show you this very beautiful, talented and Awsome young lady I've been following for awhile. Needless to say, I turned him on to SINA and you could drive a bus through his mouth when his chin dropped. Hope he is still following.
So proud of you Sina! BRING IT ON
She nailed it what a great drummer she is to a great song good luck with your future
You ma'am are the master of the drums my hat's off to you keep up the great work
One of my favorite songs covered by my favorite drummer...life is good.
83 THUMBS DOWN???? 83 people WITH NO understanding of classic era and this young woman's TALENT!!!
I like how she keeps playing even after the music has ended. True artist.
one of the best songs in the late 60"s, this song has brought me back to high school in naples fla.
Well there are classics and then there is a short list of some of the greatest songs ever written and that is one of them.
They didn't stop listening to her, I go back many years, very good.
No have words to say !
Absolutely !!!
I think this performance was a Wonderful event to see/listen to.
I Can Name That Tune In 1 Note...as long as it's Matthew Fisher playing that sustained E on his Hammond M102 ;D
A write-up for "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (AWSoP from here on) is daunting. There are thousands of pages online, dead or misdirected links, contradictions and inaccuracies. Even the people involved tell their stories differently over time. So, what is the truth? Between the lines perhaps.I'll use a narrative style without attributing quotes, except where necessary, to save space
THE SONG - "AWSoP", by Procol Harum (P.H.) was written by Keith Reid (lyrics), pianist and vocalist Gary Brooker (music and melody), and, after a long legal battle, organist Matthew Fisher (music co-write and all organ parts). It was recorded, on a four track machine, on April 1967, at Olympic Sound Studio, London. It was released, as a mono single, on May 12, 1967. It was common practice in the UK at that time that singles were not released on albums so it was not included on the band's debut album 'Procol Harum' in the UK, released Dec 1967. Neither was the song "Homburg" which was another UK single release. "Homburg" was, but "AWSoP" wasn't, included on the German release of 'Procol Harum'.
The bulk of the album was recorded, not at Olympic, but at another London studio Advision. Some negative comments about Advision exist but it was a first class studio at the time- still only four track with Telefunken machines. They were the first to get a Scully 8 track machine in 1968 - too late for P.H. though! The album was engineered by Eddie Kramer and Keith Grant.
In the US, it was common to include singles on albums so "AWSoP" (but not "Homburg") was on the US album released in Sept 1967. US albums were, by then, also released in stereo. While the majority of the other songs, also recorded on a four track machine, had a rudimentary stereo mix, "AWSoP" did not and so was "re-channeled" to make a pseudo stereo version for the US album.
"AWSoP" was a major global hit reaching #1 on the UK charts on June 7, 1967 where it remained for six weeks. In the US, it reached #5 of the Billboard Hot 100. It hit #1 in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany and a number of other countries. P.H. never had another hit as big as "AWSoP" but they avoided being a one-hit wonder with "Homburg" reaching #6 in the UK (US #34) and a live version of "Conquistador" reaching #16 in the US and #22 in the UK.
What does it mean? Some believe it's a psychedelic experience or a sexual relationship or inspired by Chaucer's "The Miller's Tale" which is considered to be a bawdy or vulgar story. According to Keith Reid, "I'd never read The Miller's Tale in my life. Maybe that's something that I knew subconsciously, but it certainly wasn't a conscious idea for me to quote from Chaucer, no way." He continued, "I was trying to conjure a mood as much as tell a straightforward, girl-leaves-boy story. With the ceiling flying away and room humming harder, I wanted to paint an image of a scene. I wasn't trying to be mysterious with those images, I wasn't trying to be evocative. I suppose it seems like a decadent scene I'm describing. But I was too young to have experienced any decadence, then, I might have been smoking when I conceived it, but not when I wrote it. It was influenced by books, not drugs.
WHO PLAYED - At the time "AWSoP" was recorded, P.H.'s guitarist was Ray Royer. He was replaced by Robin Trower who played guitar on all the other songs on 'Procol Harum'. P.H.'s drummer Bobby Harrison was unable to play on "AWSoP". He was present in the studio but apparently indisposed somehow. It's speculated that it was drugs or drink or sickness or whatever but producer Denny Cordell had to call in session drummer Bill Eyden who was a jazz drummer. Upon arriving at the studio for the P.H. session, Eyden discovered Harrison present but "non-combatant"; the whole recording, he recalls, took about three hours. For his work, Eyden received only the Musicians' Union rate of a bit more than 15 pounds.
Harrison did drum on another take of "AWSoP" a few days later but it was substandard and not used. Harrison left P.H. soon after and was replaced by BJ Wilson.
The iconic organ part - Matthew Fisher told BBC Radio Two, "I'd thought that it would be great to have a pop record that used some of the features of a Bach prelude. It is a quotation, but it's not a 100% rip-off ... I pride myself that I did it sufficiently well that you can't hear the joins and that's why people think it's completely Bach."
Rosanna asked keyboard wizard Rick Benbow if he'd ever played "AWSoP" - "I’ve played it many a time! It’s interesting that it constantly changes - there’s an element of improvisation about the melody over the descending bassline. You will read that it near-copies Bach’s Air on a G string but it’s more generically ‘baroque’ really as that descending line is not an uncommon device. It certainly provided the template for Gainsbourg’s Je T’aime but I can see why that might have been a trickier choice for Sina to cover!"
Rosanna also wondered how Sina and Mike connected with the song. Sina said, "It's very difficult for me to analyse this song, because I grew up with it and I've heard it a million times. That's why this drumpart is so obvious to me, I think it really needs to be this way in order to make the song to the song it is now. I think every fill and roll is exactly where it needs to be and I can't really imagine the song with a less 'full' drumpart. Also, because the song is really slow, it's always difficult to prevent it from being boring after a few minutes."
How did she grow up with it? Mike said, "Due to the fact that this is one of my 60s favorites, likelihood is high that it was on one of my mix tapes, actually mix CDs that she was exposed to." Sina said, "I think it was on one of our car-CDs. That's a CD collection my dad made with his 300 favorite songs. We would listen on every car ride. Also radio, of course."
There is much more that could be told. Rosanna researched many sources including SongFacts, Discogs, artist and studio websites, the Internet Archive and even Wikipedia (beware of errors and dead links). The best single source, in my opinion, is www.procolharum.com/ if you want to do your own research. It's actually a fan site but it has more in one place than anywhere else. Cheers!
thank you for another great write up and research
Juliet and Ro........ Gracias....
This is such an in depth write up of both sound studio tracks beginning to change from 4-track to 8-track stereo for studio recordings back in 1967. This was an amazing fact for me. You two never fail to impress with the knowledge learned here. Thank you our Kasey Kasem duo for another job well done!
Thanks for another post filled with info one will not find on any public site. Never read about Rick, Mike and Sina on "Beyond The Pale" - not to mention contributions BY them! :-)
Juliet and Ro - Once again, you add more color and background. I don't remember much of this, and not much was publicly known then anyway. I really appreciate what you've added here - thank you! Thank you, too, Sina. It's a kick imagining those car rides, and I'm betting we're hearing many of those 300 songs today. Thanks for making room in the back seat for me! Feels comfy. ;))
Remember this song when it first came out in 1967, our breakfast radio presenter in Sydney NSW Australia was always featuring anything new. We got to hear all these brand new artists we had never heard before on that very radio station. Great to be alive as all these bands came out. My mother even had me recorded as dancing to Rock and Roll at 18 months old (circa late 1961 early 1962) so, I'm stuck with it. So my brother and I listened intensely to all the Pop/Rock music as it was launched. This is quoted as Baroque Pop but Elvis already borrowed from Classical and Baroque compositions almost a decade earlier. It's in Rock and Roll DNA. My cousin was a Classical Orchestra leader in the early 20th Century and then brought Bebop (Jazz style) to Australia, first to do so. So innovation runs in the family!!! It obviously does here to with Sina mastering a classic that cannot deviate because of its soul is in this song. Very well presented. This style inspired Keith Relf and Jim McCarty to want to discard Blues Rock and the fact that the music was thought of (this was the 1960s) as temporary and decided Classical music needed to be presented as itself within Rock to prove it was 3 minutes of throwaway Pop music, for it to last. They formed Renaissance!!! Enough said. The band Renaissance is still touring today, with that Procol Harum inspiration!!! Great work Sina!!!! 😊❤
Ich bin Jahrgang 1961 und in einer Gaststätte mit Lifemusic aufgewachsen, deshalb kenne und schätze die musik aus den 60er und 70er besonders, aber das mädel ist einfach klasse. Danke!
RIP Gary
Hey, happy that I can still experience this in my old days.
My favorite drummer drums to my favorite-favorite-piece (I think I also have some dozens of favorite pieces and my two girls "had to" listen to my music in the car - today they take revenge for it when I drive with them and they play "Their Stuff" - no, it’s OK; fortunately I have a broad taste in music).
If so many posters this time tell how old they were when AWSoP came out, I have my coming out now - That time I was as old as Sina today.
Of course I have this “thing” in my ears and everything has to be right, but it really does.
When I’ve read the announcement, I hoped for a complete re-recording with Rick on the organ, but who should have sung it ...
Another very happy Thursday - thank you!
How you and your Dad take an Iconic Classic and improve it without changing the soul of the song is the magic you and your Dad (and friends) possess. I've never seen or heard anyone like you CONSISTENTLY mixing your talent and Mike's touch in the studio to improve songs that we didn't believe could possibly be improved upon...and yet you do it over and over again, song after song. You're covers alone are better to listen to than any Classic Radio station airplay rotation that I know. Amazing job yet again Miss Sina!!
Greg, I agree. I often set up YT with autoplay enabled and just run Sina vids one after another. Better than MTV in its heyday!
@@DonDueed I've spent extra money on my older Honda just to put in an AUX port to connect my phone to listen to her drum cover list thru my car speakers.
Hi Greg. I could not agree more. You have hit the mail on the head. The Doerings are the Tops!!
@@dennisrankin325 Appreciate the kind words Sir!
👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
i love Sina, the most talented girl on drums ever
Old soul GREAT TALENT awesome young lady! SINA
Sina is a class act. She is versatile and plays beyond her years. I love her choice of music. If I was young again and in a band I would love to have a drummer just like her.
It's unbelievable that a youngster is into old classics . Very hard to find today that' said her drumming talent is out of this world . Well done
It's one of my favorite songs, I watched the video because I like to see the effort you put into it, then I listened to the song again with my eyes closed because that's how I like listening to music and I can only say one little thing.... You are fantastic
Why would anyone give thumbs down if you don't like it don't listen I love this song and I love sina
Thanks, Sina, for not deleting the original. It is one of the iconic tracks of the era.
Just In Case. In April Deep Purple will launch their 21st studio album. Obviously they chose that month because it so close to YOUR 21st birthday. Probably you'll be even mentioned in the album's liner notes as one of the Keepers Of The Flame regarding DP classics. IF (!) this should result in another DP cover, maybe "Fireball" with this great drum opening: Please, DO NOT DELETE that song either! Thanks! :-)))
;))
More with this girl. She has got the voice and the emotion. ua-cam.com/video/SCExC8D2Eh0/v-deo.html
sina-drums Sina thank you for your wonderful videos, been watching lately thru high end audio video system, sound freakin amazing!!!
@@aakar88 I have some serious high end stuff here as well, friday is my favorite day of the week Sina releases a new track.
John Doe The Witcher sounds like Blackmores Night, perfect winter song.
I have seen thousands of drummers since 1968 you are undoubtably the best drummer technician I’ve ever seen
I sure hope Sina reads This comment, coz Wow what a compliment!!!
I just discovered Sina yesterday and have watched hours of her videos in awe! With due respect to others who've commented, she isn't 'playing' the drums, rather she fuses the use of her instruments with the other musical elements. Most drummers just use her arm, hands, legs and feet, Sina engages her whole body, mind and soul as she gives life to an exquisite creation.
Albert, well said. There is a reason than Sina has been the most viewed drummer on UA-cam for the past 2+ years and her ability to "become the music" is a large part of that.
you bring life to old gold music
Ich glaube heute weiß keiner mehr von so jungen Menschen, wie dazu getanzt wurde. :-) Super Performance sagt man nun dazu glaube ich. Wir sagten einfach nur GEIL :-) Zu killing me sowtly habe ich den Abend gestartet und es ging diesem Song weiter. Seit 45 Jahren zusammen. :-)
Bei uns war es etwas anders, zu Beginn wurde die "schnellen" Stücke gespielt z.B: Locomotiv Breath, und zum Ende wurde bei "Lady in Black" oder "Whiter Shade of Pail" eng getanzt.
Aber schön das Sina uns daran erinnert!
Gruß aus Minden
Wir nannten es damals Klammerblues! 😉
Und ja, danke Sina an diese schönen Erinnerungen! 😊
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed.
You continue to impress, not only with your talent but your choice of music as well.
This song takes me back to a long long time ago...Remembering Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and so many more wonderful bands. Sina, you Rock and would be able to be up on stage with any one of those groups. Love your videos and love your style. keep them coming Shatzie!
Thanks so much for this rendition of what is widely considered by many musicians including Peter Frampton, that this is the best song ever written. Having heard it dozens of times since the ‘60s, I’d never focused on the drumming before, always the organ and vocal, not realizing how important the drumming is.
No, I don't think the drums are too loud. We're here for the drums, Sina! (and for your beautiful self).
So true she is awesome😄😍☺😊😁
Sina, As an old guy who wishes I could (really) play the old drum kit in my back room... you are inspirational. Your skills and your spirit combined with the techniques of your team - camera angles and sound levels allows me to see and feel what drumming is about. Don't ever change.
Pull it out and tune it up and let loose.
She is awesome on the 🥁.
professional drummer sina ..love to hear u always...
She's fantastic,I admired her the way she uses her drums.timing nothing more to say,ah she's gorgeous.
How Sina can mimic the talents of so many of the greatest classic rock drummers always amazes me.
As I
Omg sina , you took me back to the summer of love 1967 , at my home in Vancouver ,my best friend and I listened to my transistor radio every day in the park or went to each other’s house with our records , listening to the most amazing music all summer , whiter shade of pale was the hymn like anthem that summer , and conquistador along with brown eyed girl , sgt pepper , the stones , the animals , the kinks and so many other great bands and songs , I was thinking as I watched you play whiter shade of pale just now , that I wished you were there with us you would have loved that time as much as we did , in 68 we saw the stones , the yardbirds , the moody blues , the who , the doors and Jimi Hendrix in concert in our home city of Vancouver , the west coast was a great place for concerts because bands usually played in San Francisco , Los Angeles and then would come up to our city , I’m so happy to have been alive in that time , and the songs that you pick to play bring back those memories , you constantly amaze and pleasantly surprise me and many others with your choices , somehow you know what we have always liked , so glad you like all those great tunes too , looking forward to more of your great choices !!! 🥁
This songs brings back a beautiful memory for me. The first time I heard this song was at a dance my senior year of high school in 1968. As I danced with my favorite girl I didn’t want the song to end. What a moment. Thanks Sina !
An solche Momente kann ich mich auch erinnern. Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit.
Goes to show there is a beauty in simplicity. You don't need 25 drums to achieve a wonderful sound. All it takes is a talented person.
Ja, Sina ist diese Person !
It's good to remember Robin Trower -one of the great rock guitarists - and B.J. Wilson - one of the best drummers in rock history (The Octopus). Both joined PH after A Whiter Shade of Pale. Jimmy Page wanted B.J. for Led Zep but he decided to go with Procol.
You have to look for live videos of PH with B.J. Thank you Sina for the very good cover. PH was one of the best bands end of the 60s and in the beginning of the 70s.
What's interesting is that a young lady like her would pick this 1967 classic! Well done 👍
I danced slow songs with my girl in 1968 and she melted me like Sina melts you with the drums. This is a great cover of Procol Harum. wow
I'll bet this was slow danced at every high school prom in the late 60's.
Sina, I love that you are so precise and that you cover so many of the songs I covered until my retirement in 2002. I sold off my gear in 2014 to make rent. I now live vicariously through you and your great performances. We love you!
TMI dude
@@johncoe6304 Say that again when you no longer have the ability to perform or play an instrument.
Im from a little country town in western australia i am amazed at all types of music this young lady can play what a lovely talent to see
I love your drums at the "crisp" level. I was 15 when this song was released, and I still love listening to it. I won't want to listen to the original now
It would be outstanding with Rick playing the organ part, as long as he didn't overpower the drums. 🧡
I just love watching and listening to a professional at work. Sina has it all.
Das Mädel ist ein UNIVERSALJENIE. Noch nie so was gesehen oder gehört. Wahnsinn. !!!!!!
Let's lift one to BJ Wilson - a drummer gone way too early from this world. Thank you for this excellent cover, Sina. You always deliver with a superb performance. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
B.J. would be proud!❤💔 Definitely gone too early.
As much as I loved BJ’s drumming, I think it was Bobby Harrison who played drums on the original recording of AWSOP, no?
Yes I do thinck thé actual harrison was nt ok to play it with thé jazzy cymbal feéling that bill Eyden had .hâte off to Sina
One of my most favorite songs. One that defines the late 1960s. One had to have lived through that time to understand what it is truly about.
That being said, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing a cover to it. Well done.
I'm with you on this one...
Sina, you do it like you wish you were around in those days....This is a very heartfelt classic....In those days, no one had ventured into anything Bach or the kind to do some r&r....
I'm just so glad you did this one.....Beautiful!
Sina, I can't quit watching this video. I love this song for one. And the organ is so beautiful. And I love how you always keep your kits simple. While most drummers have all flash and dash, you only have a snare, high hat, 2 tums, a ride and 1 crash. And I love how you take 2 Tums and make in sound like 4 or 5. You have a talent most drummer would die for. Keep it up. Have a great summer. Much love from 5,300 miles away here in the USA!!!
They’re called toms, and minimalist setups are trendy as fuck.
@@GlazeonthewickeR The small set up is what I love most about her. You can at least see her unlike most drummers that have mega setups. And sorry, I meant to say toms.
Here is the organ part: ua-cam.com/video/G2LzSItsQ80/v-deo.html
I have no words to describe!
One of the most beautiful love songs "A Whiter Shade of Pale" reproduced in part (drums) with an incredible work by a young woman who could today be the granddaughter of some of the authors (Procol Harum) what a wonderful thing ❤️ .. congratulations on the talent and for the sensitivity in dedicating oneself to this song
Beautiful cover! Thanks a million for playing Procol Harum. This is their most famous song (summer of 1967). The drummer was a session player named Bill Eyden (I think he was paid about $25 for the track!). Procol Harum’s permanent drummer was Barrie James (B.J.) Wilson, who played on many tracks outside PH, including Joe Cocker’s “A Little Help From My Friends” & that “Rocky Horror” soundtrack.
B.J.’s work with PH was unique & expressive. “A Salty Dog” (title track from their third album) is a beautiful piece. I’m thinking that “The Piper’s Tune,” “About to Die,” & “Bringing Home the Bacon” are some of B.J.’s best short pieces.
I love “The Idol.” Outstanding track. That’s a long song, though, as is “Repent, Walpurgis” (instrumental last cut on first album). “Walpurgis” breaks into part of Bach’s “Prelude in C Major” on piano.
“About to Die” is a bit sloppy. I wish I could’ve played the bass track on it. But I love B.J.’s work on that song!
Thanks again, Sina! Love you & your work. Keep it coming.
Sina, there is nothing you have to apologize for. You did not interfere with the sound of the original song at all and your drum treatment was fantastic. The song was great to begin with and one of my favorites. You only made it better.
Sina added so much more depth to this song I don’t like hearing it on the radio 🥲
This song holds a special place in my heart. Thank you. Perfectly played.
I have always wanted to see and listen to music from the drummers perspective.....and Sina does it with absolute perfection....there is no one else close to you Sina.....the most special for me being Roundabout by YES....I still have the 33rpm vinyl.....never thought I would see the drums played to such perfection.....you are amazing
First, I am not a musician. I find it amazing the amount of whole body coordination that goes into drumming. I appreciate the different camera angles showing the synchronicity. To me anyway, this is a talent that rises to art.
Love all the music that sina perform..so cute of sina while performing ..go,go sina you do it good..ohh yeahh
@@csheets61 A special Thank you from drummer's all around the world! Not as easy as people think it is...trust me....😉👍
I have too..👍👍
@@toddscully256 I, myself, never thought it was easy, but yet quite the contrary. I've been the lead-singer in 4 bands & back-up singer in 2...mostly Rock
My God girl, here you are again. Your talent is unsurpassed, I watched your Q & A video with your sister. Best answer from most of the questions: “will you marry me?” Just stunning your answer, “probably not”! Love your resolve, congrats to your parents, wonderful job.
I was stationed in Darmstadt, Germany 1967-68. A few of went to a club in the area one night and a live band was playing and they played this song. It was the first time I had heard it and when we began hearing it on the radio sometime later I realized that we had been listening to Procol Harum without even knowing it. To this day I swear their live performance was better than the studio version.
Ich wäre gern in Darmstadt dabei gewesen.
In den 80'ern habe ich sie aber auch life genießen können.
I was born in '48, so "Whiter Shade" fitted right in there for me, your cover even improves this iconic song! when put alongside Emily's vocal an piano cover mmm!
Ich freue mich jedes mal , wenn Sina was Neues macht.
Erst einmal Danke für dieses tolle Musikstück, was du uns hier, wie bisher mit allen anderen Musikstücken auch, mit deinem Können präsentierst. Als dieses Stück herauskam war ich zwar erst 8 Jahre alt aber es war auch in meiner Jugendzeit noch oft in den Gaststätten, Jugendtreffs und Kneipen zu hören. Leider ist es etwas in Vergessenheit geraten. So danke ich dir nochmals dafür, dass dir es immer wieder gelingt, meist positive Rückerinnerungen bei uns "Älteren" zu wecken. Ich freue mich für dich, dass du dich über ein Musikstudium weiterentwickeln wirst und bin neugierg auf das Ergebnis. Es kann nur supergut werden. Viel Erfolg. LG Frank
Ich glaube, es war unsere Zeit. 😜😜😜 Grüsse, Ralf. JG 62
Mein lieber Frank,
vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar!
Ich bin zwar Jahrgang 1966, aber dennoch hat mich dieses Lied...seit meiner Kindheit (Jugend) bekleidet.
Es lief, als ich meine Frau kennengelernt habe, als ich sie liebte und, als ich ihr einen Heiratsantrag machte. Das war im Januar 1987!
Vielen Dank an Dich und an Sina, die dieses Lied so schön wiedergegeben hat! :-)
Ich mag es sehr, wenn die jungen Menschen den klassischen Rock erhalten. Also den richtig guten Handgemachten... Und sie macht es und kann es. 😉 Ralf.
@@petrahauer8847 es sieht so leicht und locker aus. Es ist aber hartes Training um so zu spielen, wie sie jetzt. Hut ab.
@@rawi2311 Sina ist ein Natur Talent . Klar ist das harte Arbeit . Ich verfolge Sina schon lange und bin jedes mal begeistert
We played this last night, with my keyboard player giving me weird lookks. At the break we were discussing the beat. Now I'm a 76 year old self taught drummer and I can't count the time it's in my body. Thank you Sina for proving me right.
Du hattest einen schönen Traum, der mir auch gefallen würde.
Sina is by far one of the best.
Yes this is an old favorite Sina and I was 15 at the time and couldn't wait to get the album!! Seamlessly appropriating Bach was something Procol Harem did so well!!
Sina you are one brilliant drummer it was just great watching you drum to one of my favourite songs.
I love this song but it's so different when you cover it Sina. Good job girl
Sina, you have an old soul To see a young lady drumming to the songs of my youth, I know there is still hope for this fantastic era of rock. You are so into it. You may have seen my other comments in the past, and I must repeat saying I get joy from watching you play. Much continued success in all of your endeavors.
My So Dear friend Sina! Your Choice was just So Marvellous - A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum); drum cover by Sina -This Song is SO SO SO SWEET......and makes me fly to SO WONDERFUL AND SO HAPPY Memories of my life some years ago :) :) :) :) :) ! Your Performance is also So Perfect as always ! Go on Sina and Never Give Up you are Sincerely Fabulous !
A Very Great Embrace to you Sina from your admirer: carlitos
If I listen to this song one million times it still wont be enough . Great drumming there girl.
Please pardon my ignorance, I know absolutely nothing about the skill required to play drums, but what fascinates me about her skills is that it appears as if both feet are keeping time to a different beat than the hands on the drumsticks. How this is accomplished is beyond me. It is inspiring to see someone so young play the music that helped shape me. I could tell you stories, especially about this song...God bless you for your talent, you use it so well.
It's known as limb independence. We build it little by little with drum rudiments and music theory, and fondamental techniques. Eventually, it just happens. Hope that helps. ; )
I like how you can do different styles of classic rock or pop music. One video it's Kansas, then it's Boston, then the Beatles, next it's Iron Maiden, and then it's something mellow like this. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
Sina skills as a drummer are absolutely out of our galaxy, but what amaze me more than anything is her exquisite musical taste. Einfach ausgezeichnet !!!!!!!!!!!! Extremely well done girl.
I am following SIna for many years, but this time I finally fall in love with her. This is one of my all life favorites and this versión by Sina is simply wonderfull. I enjoy it more than i can´t explain. Thank you very much Sina
Sina thanks for drumming for us. You make us proud for your talent
I was 15 when this came out. DANG I'm old!! I loved Procol Harum!! Conquistador, Salty Dog, etc and the best cowbell song of all time .. Whiskey Train! 🐮🔔
Hope you get to go to that school. We might have to start calling you Professor Sina! 😁 Also I'll be visiting the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, and Paris this summer and will try to break away from my group to watch you play if you have a gig when I'm there. 😁🤘💕😎
@Debbie Scott I think it's kind of an inside joke as one of the things Milena has used on some videos. Check out her video, Sina Merchandise 2017, and you'll see.
@Debbie Scott Also check out Sina's video "I Need More Cowbell" published 10/13/2017, look it up in Sina's long list of videos. I believe that is the video where Sina's younger (by 2 years) sister Milena sorta got stuck with the title "Queen of the Cowbell." Of course, it''s a title all in good fun.
@Debbie Scott cowbells originated on farms. They were bells hung around a cow, goat, etc so farmers could more easily track down livestock. These bells had ringers in them so when the cow etc moved the bell would clang. Well drummers took these and removed the ringer and attached the bell to their drumkit or they could be handheld and either way they were struck with a drumstick to make a "clanky" sound not a ringing sound.
@Debbie Scott Please watch ua-cam.com/video/tlnlK6NlA1s/v-deo.html to see Milena's rendition of _Mona Lisa with a cow bell_ ... 😁
@@rayhaynes2021 It's almost a "tock" sound, but varies with the resonant frequency (or frequencies) of the cowbell.
