Between her grinning ear to ear playing metal for the first time and your contagious smile the entire time this video was so wholesome. You sir have just gained a new subscriber.
@@riseofazrael sometimes people will overplay and be too fancy or overly technical when it's not needed. You can tell by how close her version is to the original that she and Joey both knew what works best for the song and not what would be flashy
I fully believe that Slipknot could introduce her as a guest drummer with the kit she's on now and the fans would STILL love her take on the song and rock the fuck out.
You know, quite a few people don't give pop drummers enough credit. Sure, some may not be the most technical or flashiest of drummers out there, but they can maintain consistent beats, have good accent timing, and just have fun doing what they do. But they may be far more capable drummers than we give them credit for. Think about this, Domino is primarily a pop drummer; she has never heard this song before the video and had to improvise drum parts. The fact that she put together a great beat like this on the fly after a few listens and displayed this talent is VERY impressive. She could be more of a metal drummer if she wanted to. Just goes to show you, just because Domino is a pop drummer, doesn't mean she can't play anything else including metal; the same could be said for many other drummers out there. Truly a versatile drummer she is! LOVED this video!
Very true. Big pop acts typically hire top-level drummers: Dave Elitch has played with Miley Cyrus and M83, Tony Royster Jr with Katy Perry, Aaron Spears with Usher, Abe Laboriel Jr with Paul McCartney, Gregg Bissonette with Ringo, the list goes on and on. Typically, the required material isn't that difficult to play, but with these cats there's just a level of rock-solid professionalism, which includes being able to learn new material VERY quickly. I think Dave has said that before hitting the road, he only ran the material once with Miley's band (similar situation with Mars Volta, which is much crazier still, but off topic). And yeah, besides that, it's not just about WHAT you play, but about HOW and WHY. My impression is that a big part of the metal community gets stuck on the first level, purely focusing on how many notes get played or how crazy X polyrhythm is while losing track of the bigger picture.
Also she Just needed several Tries to create a badass Groove that totally suited the Song which she never ever heard before. That is Just awesome! I absolutely envy her and will try anything in my Power to become a Drummer Like her!
Most pop drummers are the most versatile drummers out there. Pop being all encompassing, dipping and diving into different genres, I am never surprised they pull out blast beats, heavy swing feels, or bring out the brushes…
Dude I was so freaking floored by her interpretation on this. So many cool nuances I would have never expected. She's such a fluid, natural drummer. You can see that she feels the groove and can play literally any genre.
Domino did unbelievably well! She absolutely killed it and no doubt the metal community holds her in high regard ever since she threw down this amazing performance!
Exactly my thought! In the whole video, you could tell she was enjoying it, but also feeling nervous, as if she would mess it up... Yes, her take sounds different to what Joey was playing in the original, but that's the point. She looked like she put a lot of thought and effort into this, and it shows.
I actually REALLY liked her version. Especially those tom breakdowns. She is amazing. P.S. You were in my recommended. Never seen any of your vids. I am guessing you are a drummer? lol. I love how supportive you are of other drummers. You gave her the credit, and praise that she so very clearly deserved.
I literally joined Drumeo after watching this 10 days ago, signed up to the 30 day drummer thingy... As a 40 year old dude who has never sat behind a kit before I am absolutely loving it!
That woman deserves all the respect. It was actually kinda fun watch her figure the song out. Her idea about how the drums sounded was a great approximation of the actual song in the main part of the verses sounded like a take on Joey's style but the choruses were here own thing all together. And that build up at the end? A fantastic improvisation for a total departure from how the rest of the song sounded.
i don't care to admit i shed a few tears watching this. seeing the pure joy of drumming on her face while crafting a beautiful piece all her own. she is an amazing talent and reminded me why i fell in love with music to begin with. great video.
I love the drummers supporting drummers and encouraging! No clue how I found your channel but loved the energy you had supporting her! Y’all both are rad!!
I like musicians that talk other musicians up instead of downgrading! This is the way everybody should act if you want to make it in the music, you have to be pretty versatile, and not egotistic
I don't get why she was so down about her interpretation! She injected her own personality into the song and that's the whole point of playing music in the first place! Love this.
The only thing I noticed, was that she was a little off-tempo during that final build up, but it's so inconsequential given how excellent her energy was.
SHE FUCKING KILLED IT. OH last take after chorus 2 slows a bit the guitar comes in and the the way she adds that build up shit so does she and the final screams from Corey its heavy and she's just smashing those drums. That was sick.
For never hearing it before, absolutely she killed it. Member the dude that did tool without hearing it? That blew my mind. These are professionals guys. They deserve all the respect. Like, all of it. So good.
I’ve seen reaction videos like this and they’re usually kinda mean… but this was refreshing to watch. I’m not a drummer or into heavy metal but watching one person lift up and give props to another person and not be at all pretentious really made my day ❤😊
It can be really surprising to a lot of people, but the heavy metal community and its fans are actually incredibly nice and supportive. Even in mosh pits, you'll find that everyone will immediately stop and help if someone gets hurt. We just enjoy looking scary.
I hesitated for a long time to watch this reaction, despite UA-cam constantly suggesting it, because that kind of treatment of her was what I expected. Wholeheartedly agree
Her picking up the accents is a testament to not only how good of a drummer she is, but how well written the song is! Easy to listen to and understand the pacing and dynamics, very important in songwriting, you don't want your listeners to be confused (unless you do lmao)
Agreed especially without ever hearing the song, she did awesome. And she absolutely shouldn't be hard on herself because not only is Joey one of the world's best drummers, his setup is INSANE. What she was able to do out of instinct with a mostly barebones setup is jaw dropping
The original drummer probably had months to refine his drums, learning, practicing and then recording. Of course it reflects his talent and dedication. But Domino being able to put something together after a few takes is masterful and her enthusiasm is infectious.
The "original drummer" was the late Joey Jordison - one of the best drummers out there. Domino did amazing all things considered and she was so humble about it.
@@annakonda6289Where have I been? I didn't know Slipknot that well but I knew about Joey Jordison. Damn that sucks. Another of Corey Taylor's friend gone.
@@sircliffordmalcolmjac5870 I am an older guitar player. Grew up on Peart, Bruford, White, Copland, McBrain. I never got into the super heavy stuff. Although my band mates tried. I can still appreciate the sheer talent, but sonically it was not my thing. I love these videos that take musicians out of their normal comfort zones.
She showed as a professional pop drummer something that is flying over everybody's head -- By hearing something just a few times, that she never heard before, she picked up and nailed the vast majority of the feel with ease. Not only did she know what it *should* sound like without even hearing it based on her musical experience alone -- but she got pretty close. You could see afterwords she was flexing her musicianship trying to nail the original parts -- based on nothing but feel of the song, and what makes sense. I feel there's a HUGE lesson going on here in the background that nobody even sees. This was fantastic musicianship from Domino, it really is kinda surprising how she can call on her roots as a drummer to play what just makes sense with the music... and be that close. Cool af lesson for those paying attention.
Santantonio did a great job! She seems to think she did things "wrong" and feels bad? Hell no! This wasn't a test to see how accurately she could recreate Joey's original drum parts, right? She wrote great original drum parts on the spot (!!) that fit the song and did a phenomenal job 🤘🤘 Thanks for sharing this, Samus!
Yeah, way too self-critical. After watching her work through a few things in takes 1 and 2, she charged into the final take with great intensity and a very fine effort; I thought she did great coming from a pop background and produced a nice rendition; she should be proud that her skill clearly shines through.
pretty crazy how underrated pop drummers are cause they got great timing for accents & certain consistency in beats great stuff overall for never having listened to this song before !
Once you've got the verse and chorus rhythm figured out, that's 80% of the song. The only bits that will throw you then are bridges and breakdowns since they tend to be pretty unique, especially in punk/metal/hardcore.
It takes guts to put your self on the spot like that. She's clearly very intuitive and pay attention to the song (and maybe we saw a metalhead being born? ) Well done!
Joey would have been thoroughly impressed and would have loved to play with her I'm sure. Joey always enjoyed things like this, he would have been so happy to see just what Drumeo is doing too because they're helping people learn the drums. That man was straight up dying and still drumming his heart out. This woman did amazingly!
As a singer who watches a lot of this type of content to help better understand and communicate with my band, it is so awesome to see this kind of energy, appreciation, love, and just pure FUN being had. I loved the original video but your reaction to it just made my heart explode with joy. The admiration on your face appropriately mirrors the audience. This chick is absolutely phenomenal.
Loved so many things about this and it goes to show if you get the structure and accents down, there is no one way to play something, Great job all the way around and her pure joy is infectious.
Out of all the instruments that are commonly known, drums are and usually percussion instruments are the best in horizontal integration of the brain which results better integration of psyche and adaptive emotional quotients.
@@davidhurtado2725 Best part was how it sounds like it's speeded up a couple of bpm from the rest of the song, but she comes back in exactly in time. I'd have totally lost it doing that bit
Sometimes it's good to have someone play it who doesn't know the usual techniques of a genre. But she clearly is an absolute pro. Hard to pull off something like that if you're not a master of what you do
She has a pretty limited kit. Especially considering what Joey was working with. After only a couple takes. She was abel to hang, in an impressive way. She's incredible!
My damn cheeks hurt from grinning like a possum while watching this. She is insane!!! This is one of my new favorite drum videos. Drumeo is so awesome for doing this. I want more!!!!!
I ve been a drummer my whole life and I loved seeing this! This is pretty much how I learned how to play drums when I was a teenager. Awesome stuff and love that nobodys here being an elitist! Awesome sauce man
I’m really loving her chops and the energy! I actually cheered for her at that build up! I seriously yelled, “YEAH!!” As a guitar player first and drummer second, I could never find a fault in her capturing and crushing that groove!
More and More i watch these videos i start to realize how diverse the drums. Seeing Samus on twitch and these videos is such an inspiration to have such a great time grooving with the beat and making it your own. And that break down got me choked up by the feels. SO GOOD! Thanks again for all you guys!
@@davidhurtado2725 many reaction youtubers don't have the benefit of reacting to something they're personally sponsored by, so they pause occasionally to avoid copyright strikes. it's just how the game is played.
That is beyond impressive & I am so jealous/envious. I always wanted to play the drums since I was 10 (in 1978) & my Mom would never let me cause she said that's not an instrument girls played. I wish my Mom was around to see her absolutely kill this.
I’ve watched this so many times it’s crazy. I honestly think the energy in this video could convert some folks to loving metal. I mean look at how much fun Samus and Domino are having. My goodness!!
I love seeing her confidence improve throughout the video. She nails it. Edit: Also I'm getting strong punk vibes from her style. Maybe it's because of the kit that she has. But her energy is very punk rock. She could def play in a rock, punk, or metal band.
Thing I love about watching reactions like yours bro is that drummers respect the craft so much they just get it when watching something like this. Domino is a beast! Infectious attitude!
Man, that was insane. Im a classical and jazz guitarist, so naive. To my ear that kit was pitched/tuned perfectly for her and this track, especially the toms and cymbals. She hits the spaces with impeccable fills and accentuates so well. Man, she is amazing.
Such a shame Joey isn’t with us anymore, I would have loved to see his reaction to this. She absolutely knocked it out of the park in my opinion though.
Ohhh YURRRR! 🤘
Don't forget to try Drumeo FREE for 30 Days! www.drumeo.com/affiliate/66samus
So I just realized where you are... now I have to ask if you play in any local bands?
She got revenge by having the Drumeo guy do the dieing song 😆
I've took your free drumming lesson trial. Seriously great stuff! Maybe I'll finally get better with diversity
Share this with Corey 🔥
Says “she only gets to hear the drumless track”….. then she hears the original right from the beginning lol
This is so great! Love the energy! ❤
Please bring Samus in!!!
I'm waiting the Sammus video with a "Sammus hears Yann Tiersen for the first time"
Your service is fantastic. Your videos have convinced me that I can actually get into drumming and I'm getting a kit soon. Keep it coming!
It is time for "Samus hearing Cuntcrusher by Infant Annihilator"
You guys should have them try after they hear the drums! There’s a few I want to see
She feels bad about not exactly reproducing a song she's never heard but ...DAMN! She nailed this. What she produced so quickly was amazing.
+1!
Agreed. That's so amazing without ever hearing the original and not being in her natural genre.
While listening to it I kept forgetting it wasn’t the original until she done something unique.
As someone who's not too familiar With Slipknot and who hasn't heard this song in years, her version felt completely natural.
You realise this is all fake, right? There's a whole series of this fake "I hear this for the first time" BS.
Between her grinning ear to ear playing metal for the first time and your contagious smile the entire time this video was so wholesome. You sir have just gained a new subscriber.
thank you so much!!!
You can really see she really enjoys playing that song by the smile she has on her face!
Wholeheartedly agree here! Subscribed!
Right there with ya 🤟🏻

Your lack of pausing during the video is extremely refreshing compared to other peoples reactions to everything. I love this.
Exactly!
I was thinking the same thing! Hate when they have to comment every 10 seconds.
He is sweating 😅
Yes! And only a minimal but effective amount of commentating.
Big reason people do that is to make the video more "transformative" and avoid copyright strikes.
A perfect example of drumming in service of the song
Dude. PERFECTLY stated!
What do you mean by in service of the song? Sorry, not a drummer but trying to understand.

A few bass players need to learn this important lesson too. Sometimes less is more, and more is less.
Careful. Lars might see this

Yeah he's a prominent metal drummer and generally cool guy lol
Seriously though. He didnt critique her to be absolutely perfect
She is the drummer for french Canadian pop singer Roxanne Bruneau ;o)
that was one thing that bummed me out, how critical she was over herself. I was yelling at my TV, YOU DID SO DAMN GOOD THOUGH!
Sadly, that's how many of us girls are raised. Agree she's amazing.
We usually have bad experiences when we show confidence, most times guys just LOVE to put a confident woman down by calling her a bitch. 🤢
Damn down. Guys are critical of themselves too lol.

Her rendition was Exceptional, she is way too hard on herself!! One of the best renditions I've ever heard.
The most talented people are their own worst critics.
The most impressive thing is that she played this with a single kick pedal.
Yes, less is more)))
To be fair is way easier with 1 pedal this song.

I def had a lump in my throat by the final take. Joey’s my guy and watching her channel him without knowing the tune was special.

My favorite thing when watching drummers is when they find that groove and start bobbing/moving with it. Domino killed it.
I keep watching this video because
1: that jungle tom approach is so dirty and fun
2: The snare build in the bridge is awesome
Same here, and agreed. Her inspired take on those two sections was great!
That buildup was a-frikking-mazing! Goosebumps inducing.
She absolutely rocked it! And I absolutely love how supportive drummers are of each other, it's so damn wholesome!
Loved so many things about this and it goes to show if you get the structure and accents down, there is no one way to play something, Great job all the way around and her pure joy is infectious.
Musicians appreciating musicians…this is the world of music we need 🙏
I love how with each take she gets closer and closer to the original drumming despite having not heard it herself.
Why are drummers always the friendliest and chillest people?
Maybe they just take all their aggression out on the kit? haha
Out of all the instruments that are commonly known, drums are and usually percussion instruments are the best in horizontal integration of the brain which results better integration of psyche and adaptive emotional quotients.
Maybe because they hang out with bass players. :)
cause they can gig sitting down. I'd be grumpy too if I had to be standing at work
because playing drums is amazing!
I honestly prefer her interpretation of the bridge over the actual version. Amazing.
Yeah it was pretty fucking sick
Right? That drum roll breakdown was ASTOUNDING. Like FUCKING WOW 🔥
@@davidhurtado2725 Best part was how it sounds like it's speeded up a couple of bpm from the rest of the song, but she comes back in exactly in time. I'd have totally lost it doing that bit
Sometimes it's good to have someone play it who doesn't know the usual techniques of a genre. But she clearly is an absolute pro. Hard to pull off something like that if you're not a master of what you do
👍
She has a pretty limited kit. Especially considering what Joey was working with. After only a couple takes. She was abel to hang, in an impressive way. She's incredible!
My damn cheeks hurt from grinning like a possum while watching this. She is insane!!! This is one of my new favorite drum videos. Drumeo is so awesome for doing this. I want more!!!!!
Watch her do a mastoden drumio . Mind blowing . Shes even more skilled than what shes shown here.
I ve been a drummer my whole life and I loved seeing this! This is pretty much how I learned how to play drums when I was a teenager. Awesome stuff and love that nobodys here being an elitist! Awesome sauce man
Straight up. She killed it. It was her take on what she was handed, and she nailed the feel.
She is AMAZING!!!! So modest for someone that kills it on the drums. I am her newest fan now!
She did amazing. I love this way of remixing, super interesting musicianship. Thank you drumeo thank you 66samus thank you Domino.
I love the Drumming community supports one another no matter the genre!
She actually seems to be having a good time even though it’s not her genre. Such a cool video.
I’m really loving her chops and the energy! I actually cheered for her at that build up! I seriously yelled, “YEAH!!” As a guitar player first and drummer second, I could never find a fault in her capturing and crushing that groove!
This is absolutely amazing, Watching her create from scratch, without drum reference - is awe inspiring, brought me to tears!! Hell yeah.
She did amazingly well considering. Her smile and spirit is adorable.
She really is a good drummer. That’s awesome 👏
This world has such talented people in it. Absolutely blows me away.
More and More i watch these videos i start to realize how diverse the drums. Seeing Samus on twitch and these videos is such an inspiration to have such a great time grooving with the beat and making it your own. And that break down got me choked up by the feels. SO GOOD! Thanks again for all you guys!
Bro stumbled across you and I love your positivity and encouragement. You my friend have the spirit that I love so much in metal 🤘
thank you so much!!!
I love what she does with the bridge section. That build with all the snappy fills is so sweet.
She is incredible, I've never heard of her before but definitely got mad respect for her drumming abilities!
I love how you can tell she is having so much fun with this. Makes me want to start drumming again.
What are you waiting for! :D
I cannot believe that this is her first time hearing this song........... Just simply Wow!
It's probably not... but a drum cover by itself doesn't get views, does it?
@@EnwardSnowman If she'd heard it before there's no way she'd have deviated that much on the breakdown.
@@davidpeters6743 that's a ridiculous thing to say. Hearing a song doesn't mean you MUST play it back exactly the way you heard it
@@EnwardSnowman Broh, hearing the song would push you in certain directions especially when a part is particularly inconic
@@davidpeters6743 broh. Broh. Broh. Broh. Stop simping
She felt uncomfortable at first but once she warmed up, she really brought out something amazing!
Reactions should be like this.. no pause, no unecessary comments. Straight to points. Great video.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
thank you!!
I truly hate when they pause making reaction videos. This guy gets it
@@davidhurtado2725 many reaction youtubers don't have the benefit of reacting to something they're personally sponsored by, so they pause occasionally to avoid copyright strikes. it's just how the game is played.
That is beyond impressive & I am so jealous/envious. I always wanted to play the drums since I was 10 (in 1978) & my Mom would never let me cause she said that's not an instrument girls played. I wish my Mom was around to see her absolutely kill this.
Just go get a kit and start playing. Never too late to begin! Only person in your way now is you! GO FOR IT!
(i know its a really late reply) but go for it! its so much fun and its never too late
I always was drawn to the drums too as a young girl. My mom let me play piano but not the drums. Still now in my 30s, it seems so fun.
@@ashleypiper2558 genuinely its never to late, you should go for it!
Proud to be one of her subscribers since when she had a small following. She killed it, great job
You can hear the professionalism in her playing. Loved it
I’ve watched this so many times it’s crazy. I honestly think the energy in this video could convert some folks to loving metal. I mean look at how much fun Samus and Domino are having. My goodness!!
I love seeing her confidence improve throughout the video. She nails it.
Edit: Also I'm getting strong punk vibes from her style. Maybe it's because of the kit that she has. But her energy is very punk rock. She could def play in a rock, punk, or metal band.
I think she enjoyed it more than she thought she would, I wanna see her play in a metal band. She could be a star.
I'm Drumeo atticted...and Domino is simply awesome, she is amazing 👍🥁❤
She was so hard on herself, I LOVED the energy she added to it!
Domino did amazing. She picked it up really well and developed something very close. Awesome job!!!
I like how her kick pattern was nicely in the pocket following the bass line.
Kickass, ohhhhh yurrrrrr
Thing I love about watching reactions like yours bro is that drummers respect the craft so much they just get it when watching something like this. Domino is a beast! Infectious attitude!
Samus is just so kind and generous. Love you man!
This was so much fun to watch! She killed it. RIP Joey.
Domino's performance was just mesmerizing ... and I really enjoyed your commentary!
I think she did great for never hearing the song before. She found the groove and improvised very well. Nothing but respect for her.
That build up on the final take was boss. She killed that shit! Just wow.
Man, that was insane. Im a classical and jazz guitarist, so naive. To my ear that kit was pitched/tuned perfectly for her and this track, especially the toms and cymbals.
She hits the spaces with impeccable fills and accentuates so well.
Man, she is amazing.
Such a shame Joey isn’t with us anymore, I would have loved to see his reaction to this.
She absolutely knocked it out of the park in my opinion though.
I love how positive and open you are with her effort and creativity! Much respect to you man! ❤
