Hey, all, heads up; the actual ‘reaction’ starts at 12:23 for those of you that may want to skip the drum/Pau talk beforehand.
Also, I’m trying a new micing technique, based on your suggestions. Could you give me a favor, listen and comment in the comment section as to whether it sounds better than previous blogs? And before anyone says anything, YES I KNOW THAT THE SOUND OF THE FAN IS STILL PROMINENT. There is not much I can do as the heat from the room is hooooot-and the Dennis needed.
THANKS!

Thank you for pointing out the Alice in Chains connection. I've noticed Dany singing on top of an accompanying guitar line (think "More" in the chorus) which is a staple of the AiC sound (Rooster, Man in the Box, Angry Chair). And to your point, Sean Kinney played heavily on toms which Pau does quite often. I think you're the only reactor I've seen make this connection.
One of the greatest things she does is to listen to her younger sister. She is humble in this aspect. Ale is James Hetfield with timing. She is a human metronome. If you watch Pau closely you'll see her looking at Ale for cues. If Ale leans back, it means slow down. If she leans forward, it means speed up.
David Bendeth taught them this pocket, and he adores Pau as someone who could be an amazing producer, and fears her a little bit for her honesty (out of love). Let's also not forget that Dany can fill vocal spots for her when she's not feeling well. And Pau and Ale can do the same for Dany. It's an amazing mix of get the job done and not suck. Just a reminder of when they play, Ale is the gatekeeper. Is Pau an incredible drummer? Oh, hell yes. Part of that is knowing she doesn't see herself that way when they play. She's a part of a family that makes amazing music.
❤️⚡🤘
Well said👍
I saw a clip of the video when Pau did the MasterClass Talk. She told the story of David Bendeth giving them some machine that would sound an alarm if they got out of time and it kept going off on Pau and she said I kept getting that Ale stare each time it did.
I never could have imagined I'd agree with this, but Hetfield with timing sounds about right.
Her posture is insane. When I see her walk, I think either ballerina or drummer. I have yet to see her slouch.
A lot of Pau's improved timing can be attributed directly to working with David Bendeth. He taught all of them about how to play with "soul", and let the flow of the music dictate the timing. He even had her play with an alternated click so she learned to "disconnect" from it when the song required it. If you watch "Mayday in the Making", you can see how their initial meetings were sort of full of conflict, but by the end of their time with him all three of them were absolutely in love with this grizzled old musical master. He taught them a _lot_ about how to play music, and they've all taken his lessons to heart - and it shows, most definitely.
@@MrJest2 He recently attended one of their New York shows and took a pic with them.
Pau is wow! A virtuoso!
She’s fantastic!
!!!GOODISM¡¡¡ !!!🎵ole ole ole oleeee Warning Warning🎵¡¡¡. Greetings from Argentina.
She has really changed her technique over the years. If you watch the TED videos from 7 years ago she's all arms and no wrists. It's amazing what she could do playing that way, but it looked exhausting. Her physical movements are so much smoother now with the "right" technique.
I hundred percent agree. I went back and watched some of the videos of her as a child and it was amazing that she could hit that hard, but it was all forearm and no ‘swinging’. Give credit to her teacher, he taught her tremendous technique and physicality. Also credit to her for practising her ass off.
I pretty much think that was a "left-over" from when she was kind of too physically small to smack the drums and get the right sound. Once she grew older, and had some instruction in how to be more efficient in her movements, she embraced it and excelled in it as she does in most things she tries.
@MrJest2 I agree.
Pau wasn't just nominated but won the Drumeo Rock Drummer 2023.
If you want to see a really cool drum song of theirs check out Automatic Sun.
Awesome, thanks
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275Pau is in the running for best Rock drummer of 2024 at the Modern drummer magazine website. If you would like to vote for her just type in the search box, modern drummer magazine survey poll 2024 and include your email and follow the instructions.
I have voted for Pau because I believe she is deserving.
Last year she won the best up and coming Rock drummer from this magazine and there is a video available here on UA-cam we're she is interviewed about her career and winning.
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275Pau also won the Drumeo awards best Rock drummer of 2023 and in the same year best up and coming Rock drummer of 2023 by Modern drummer magazine.
Those hour long Paucam vids of her working i would watch if you put them on here . . Id say many would . . . They are from her own phone . .
Take care till next time .
Bye from New Zealand 👋🇳🇿👍🍻twa
Excellent, I knew they had to come from somewhere in the camp! Thanks for the information and thanks for the comment.
Pau's co-production of the video for Que Mas Quieres may be a big contribtor to The Warning's recent Latin Grammy Award nomination for best rock song. The song is awesome, with all three sisters totally bringing it. We're still waiting for the US version of the Grammy Award nominations to come out, next month. There's a lot of industry buzz about The Warning, so I'm holding my breath (and turning blue).
Hi Archie ! One thing you barely touch in your vid is Pau's amazingly healthy technique. Always relaxed, almost no tension in the back and always moving smoothly. As a working musician in various cover bands, I lost 2 drummers due to back pain, including one who had to be operated on and who lost part of the sensation in his legs. Keeping your back straight but without tension is massively important. Great vid, mate ! (BTW, I miss Helix... 😉).
Thanks for the reply! But I do actually touch on it, I just didn’t use the word ‘technique’; if you look how I’m talking about how she has the proper movement of wrists and limbs, etc., that is tied to technique, right? Perhaps I just phrased it in an obtuse way lol
And thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for this...looking forward to many more!
More to come!
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275Many Pau fans here 👍
Hi Glen! Thanks for using my wikipedia article to introduce Pau. It was funny hearing the words I wrote on the wiki coming out of your mouth. :)
Great reaction. I hope you'll manage to see The Warning live.
Very cool! Thank you-I hope so, too.
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275Don't miss that concert!!
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275iI just saw them in L.A and they are incredible!
@SDsailor7 I’m trying! Hope I am getting enough Patreon subscribers that I can afford to go hint hint lol
Pau's kick is like Jonathan Moffatt.
Good call!
Paulina es un verdadero maestro de la música un genio ,hay muchos bateristas de calidad ,pero como Paulina no hay,canta mientras toca,compone ,grita y ordena al publico y ademas baila al tocar ,sus hermanas también son muy talentosas Ale una bajista de gran calidad ,elegancia y presencia carga con el control de los temas un gran soporte y Dany una de las mejores interpretes de rock y gran guitarrista sus solos son bellos y sus riffs excelentes y pegajosos
👑PAU IS BAD ASS SHE IS THE FEMALE VERSION OF ' ANIMAL ' THE DRUMMER FROM THE 70/80s TV SHOW . THE MUPPETS SHOW 🤘⚡🤘
Yes! ❤
Excellent analysis 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Pau has often noted Peart as a big influence, but when she's really flying, she reminds me of Bonzo or Ginger Baker, obviously for different reasons.
I really like seeing your reactions and hearing your commentary of these Pau cam videos. I know Pau has set up her camera and streamed it on Instagram for entire concerts, think it then gets posted to UA-cam by either the band or fan(s). I really really hope you get to the concert, it would be great to hear your take on The Warning's live concert.
Sincere thanks!
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275the thing I love about Pau's drumming is her precision.
In Spanish speaking countries all last names has 2 parts and are formed by the first last name of the father followed by the first last name of the mother. Sometimes those are composed so you get what apear to be three last names like some presidents of México as Ernesto (Zedillo) (Ponce de León)
Thank you for that information, cheers!
The second clip that you played is from a longer video that covers 2 or 3 songs. It was from a gig where they were supporting Halestorm. In the full video you can see Pau muting her mic, turning it on and off as needed. There are a few longer videos from that series of concerts.
That’s cool that she does that! I thought maybe she was just adjusting where it was sitting or the volume.
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275the Phoenix concert Pau cam is excellent for analysing her drum technique
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275subbed for more Pau and the Warning analysis/reaction
They all write the lyrics . . . Pau is usually the one that has the idea or concept but they all write . . .
And so your aware . . . Ale is time keeper should the click fail or there isnt one . . Both in rehersals and onbstage if the other 2 stray , she brings them back often with "the look" . Dany and Pau acknowledge this saying its scary . . . She also has perfect pitch . .
Yes, I’m aware. But I saw an interview with the sisters where they basically said that Pau had the best English capabilities of all of them. Therefore, she tended to have more of a say in the lyrics. That’s what I base my statement on. But I am aware that they all contribute. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond, thanks!
There's a video of a show in the UK or Ireland, where they played a new KMF song for the first time live, where we see Ale slowing Dany down with a wave then guiding Pau into the song with a look.
😊👍
Good Luck getting to the concert, three of the best female singers on earth in the same show. I'd sell my kidney to get to it.
I'm going to suggest a japanese rock band that debuted this year, NEK! and their song MAZE. They are going places and are a fresh breath amidst the gimmicky / cut paste stuff plaguing the scene.
Thank you, I hope it happens too! And I’ll definitely check those bands out. I love hearing new music from around the world.
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275 Lizzy came on stage and gave Danny her white explorer two years ago. I wonder if we'll see a duet at this show. Imagine...
Or if Amy Lee joined in! Mate you have to go... When The Warning is the opening act you know you're in for something special
I saw that-super cool!
If anything happens, I’ll film it. Please consider subscribing and maybe even joining my Patreon; if I got enough patrons, I can afford to go to the show and film stuff for all of us.
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275 been sub'd for a while. Unfortunately patreon is too much in dollaridoos for my disabled arse. But I try to comment and like every video I see. Keep up the good work. As you have a Mac book (&iPhone assumed)I can offer some tips on video and audio upgrades if you're looking to take a step with a learning curve
⚡️⚡️🤘🏼⚡️⚡️
69FUTURA es Rudy the manager, saludos! from Mexico.
I didn’t know thanks
That’s really damn cool, thank you!
69Futura only began posting Warning videos 2 years ago....starting with concerts in NJ and NY. Before that all of his/her videos were of other bands and concerts in NJ. Sorry! Not Rudy, its a fan who compiles videos off other people's Instagram, Facebook, UA-cam, etc. If you look in the detail description of the videos you can see where the video source came from.....sometimes Rudy is listed as a source of some clips, sometimes not..somebody on the web has guessed it is Rudy, it is not...
@@johncormack1827 ooh thank you so much for the information
Hey, Glen. Great reaction. But, since you say you want to meet them someday, you'll need to know how to properly say 'Villarreal.' OK - so, you start by saying VIA 🚂. And then you say the 're-al' part from the hair colour brand L'Oreal. Add the two together now, and that gives you VIA re-al. That's how to say it. Ok?
By the way, I'm also going to the London, Ontario show (as well as the M+G). A group of us are meeting beforehand at a place near the venue. (RSVP if interested.)
Sounds good! I had recommended the restaurant Fitzroy, which is kitty corner from the venue to the warning army
And thanks!
Can you recommend a restaurant close to the venue that TWA members can gather at? Their schedules will vary so the restaurant has to be convenient for in/out.
Yes, there is a restaurant kitty corner to the venue called Fitzrays. I would call the reserve a table 1st though.
@@glengamble-thegambleramble6275 thanks!
Could you possibly gate out the fan? It makes it hard to follow your talking....
Not a fan of this microphone set up... Sounds like you're across the room and hard to understand sometimes for an old man like me
OK, duly noted and thank you. I appreciate the input.
Agree. The close reflections of your voice from the surfaces around you arrive at your mic slightly out of time, making mush. For example, if you put the gold record higher up and put some absorption there instead, it might help. Just look around you at eye level and imagine where the reflection goes. Also, the closer to your mouth you put the mic, the greater the ratio of your voice level to the background noise level. Louder voice, turn the mic down, the background level goes down, too.
@@rexwave4624 thanks for the advice, I appreciate it
