evilness were you born deaf I'm a drummer just madness in my head since I was born severely tone deaf to high pitch bass and drums always moved me to the point some people looked at me as a freak haha lol

I love her! BTW, this is an excerpt from a presentation she did on Ted Talks about listening to music with your whole body. The whole presentation is here on youtube, and I highly recommend that you give it a listen if you liked this. It's soooooooo interesting!

Wikipedia: "Deafness is defined as a degree of impairment such that a person is unable to understand speech even in the presence of amplification.[2] In profound deafness, even the loudest sounds produced by an audiometer (an instrument used to measure hearing by producing pure tone sounds through a range of frequencies)) may not be detected. In total deafness, no sounds at all, regardless of amplification or method of production, are heard.

You know this isn't a competition

I'll bet she goes through a lot of wristwatches.

I wonder if we would like this as much if a guy played it.

She is really deaf, she learned to play the drums by listening to the vibrations...

I'm almost completely stupid in my left ear and a total moron in my right ear and I can play drums!

She has been deaf since around the age of 12. She hears by feeling vibrations using other parts of her body, the 2 best being her feet and tummy. Also Hellen Keller was blind and deaf and she could talk as well as write, so cutemaniac1 your logic is flawed.

@seth1987 "Hater Gonna Hate." Some people just have to find something to attack when they encounter someone better than them at something.

What model snare drum is that?

Beethoven was deaf, when he had 46 years old. and still... do i need to say more?

@Baotinvc Danke, i've been looking for the title of this work, :)

gotta love yamaha snares

i met her in buffalo ny at the BSO. She was really awesome and she interacts with you with problem it's like she not's deaf at all. she is the best precussionist i have ever seen ,deaf or not!

GREAT!

to hear stuff she puts her hands on paper and feels the beat nd tht kindaa tells her when to go. ii didd about her in my year6 SATS! :) im onlii inn yr6 atm so it was quiet recenttly xxxx

if thats what you think then fine. All i know, is i know completely deaf people who can talk - fine if you dont believe me. We'll just agree to disagree

@pepsico8 not true, have you never met a completely deaf person who can speak? i have. if they have heard one point in their life, they can speak. if they are deaf from birth, they cant speak

well, to be honest your ignorance is laughable. i know where i stand, so do many others and im not gonna waste my time speaking to you guys. This all started off because i find Evelyn truly inspirational and i think she has done a beautiful thing - showing that one has no boundaries. All of a sudden, people are arguing about whether she is genuinely deaf - all because she can speak. so i am stopping all this, i want no more part in this, cus to be honest its making me feel depressed

Shut up, you are being abusive - its only natural that i go right back at you, im not just gonna lay there and let you threat me like crap. And as for the deafness, maybe you should see the umpteen doctor's iv seen, the audiology department of my hospital and the surgeon thats gonna operate on my head so i can hear better - why dont you ask them if im deaf

dont dictate to me about my own condition, who do you think you are? i am completely deaf in one ear - that is deaf. screw you, you patronizing arse

I have to say, i am deaf myself - not as bad as Evelyn, but i play percussion too, a drum called a timba. She's so inspiring. I also have to say, i think some comments on here have been rather offensive - deaf people can indeed talk. If someone has been deaf from birth, then perhaps they cannot talk, but she clearly states she has not been deaf all her life

@TorgeirFausken thank you very much indeed! I've seen that in Zivkovic's website there's a CD with this piece. cool!

the piece is Pezzo Da Concerto by Nebojsa Zivkovic Dame Glennie is such a wonderful and inspiring woman.

wonderful video! who knows what's the piece of music that she plays?

What audio was used for the presentation?

thanks xD was rather confused

she didn't lose her hearing until she was 12 or so. from what i have heard, that makes a big difference on how a person would speak.

She speaks really clearly for a profoundly deaf person. She has a great understanding of music and its purpose.

Profoundly deaf means: "S: (adj) profoundly deaf, stone-deaf, deaf as a post, unhearing (totally deaf; unable to hear anything) " Evelyn has been profoundly deaf since she was 12.

You are denying that she is totally deaf. Just because you cannot understand how something can be so, does not mean that it is not so. Evelyn Glennie is a Scot, as am I and I can tell from her accent that she is deaf. She was NOT born deaf but has been totally, profoundly deaf since the age of 12.

You need to educate yourself, read about Evelyn. She has been totally deaf since she was 12.

Question: Who produced this video and what was the intent? Was it a project for a class?
