As a 60 year old it is so refreshing to see someone young with so much talent having so much fun doing something she clearly loves I hope you have a wonderful life . The world is a better place with young people
I’m the same age as you…and in fact the very first time I ever heard this song was on my 18th birthday in the summer of 1979.
I just went 60! Love the song she is good!
The world is a better place with happy people, regardless of their numerical age.
I got you guys beat. I'm 69, fortunate to be gigging some and practicing every day.
I'm in a cover band now that wants to do "My Sharona". Of course, I heard it but never played it.
Just saw Sina play it. Wow, I want to be as good as her when I grow up. SHE NAILS IT!
Great sounding beat with the toms, and she doesn't overdo the accents. Terrific drumming.
And thanks Sina, you gave me a master lesson in how to play, "My Sharona"

Sina is smiling at the beginning because she knows she's going to ace it. She's smiling at the end because she knows she aced it. Sina, you're the best. I enjoyed this very much.
Thanks Don!!
'Aced it' is an understatement
I've watched a few of her videos and I noticed her smile. She is just having a blast and I'm enjoying watching her tear it up.
Doubt she would upload a video which was awful.
Missed one fill. So not a bad job at all.
This girl has a gift. These songs she picks are the great ones from the 70s 80s when they were driven by hard drums and guitar riffs . Awesome job from the States 👍
Was a huge hit before the 80s started
Yes I said 70s 80s
Im 58 and you have just sparked my fire to learn the drums and show what my 11 year old grandson what his granny can do. Loo,ing into i. THANKS HEAPS YOU ARE GREAT KEEP IT UP!😁t
Check her out playing polk salad annie
ruclips.net/video/ko3m0NBbq1o/видео.html first time i heard my mom play was fucking amazing
i had no idea
I'm 57 and my very first kit shows up tomorrow. Oddly enough the layout is exactly like hers with the stand mounted toms.I just noticed that watching this video. To Sina goes a huge thank you!!! Every time I watch the hair on my arms stands up and my face leaks a little. The power and precision and the dedication to get there is commendable. Show that grandson what you can do!
Drumming and music has no age limits. Go for it!!!
why not? you're never to old to learn something new. go for it.
I love the way Sina selects songs that were played well before her time. Hows she’s able to cross back and reach her parents generation is truly amazing.
I love everything she plays.
I just can't get over how talented this young lady is, very very good!
I can't either. And how prolific!
Ywa
FANTASTIC! You have a very natural talent. As a former drum player, I can see that you have a natural flow and rhythm for the music. How many people your age have even HEARD of these songs, much less ROCK them, like you do?! I've enjoyed every one of your covers!! Keep it up...
I'll be 63 this August, and after watching her drumming videos I have challenged myself to have fun, the church pastor is letting me play there drums, having much fun , thanks sila, keep doing what your doing, never quit, you have a lot of talent, thank you and God bless, clint!
Some experiences make life worth living. Listening to Sina is one of them.
100% agree!! Made my day.
Some experiences make life worth living. Listening to Sina is one of them.
I love everything she plays.
I just can't get over how talented this young lady is, very very good!
Incredibly good and she dares with songs that are very difficult for a drummer, not only is she accompanying the rhythm, she gives it life, it continues like this, with the years you are improving, like good wine.
Been listening to this song since it was released. That's one hell of a performance on the drums there young lady. I wouldn't have been able to tell that from the original.
That people, is how drumming is done!! You know I love you Lady Sina! 😍😇
Too bad original Knack drummer Bruce Gary wasn't alive to see this, I'm sure he would be proud.
Saw bruce and the knack live once from the second row...he was awesome to watch....so smooth
Clemente Martinez bbbbbbbbbbb
What happened to bruce
@@kevinbrown3907 Died in 2006 of blood cancer :-(
shes awsome
My hope in humanity, so many times vanished away by seeing young people happily going into stupidity, is reborn every time I see a young kid like Sina showing there’s still hope. Talent and hard work pay off, look at the smile on her face! Kids she is an example go and create your dreams are achievable if you believe in yourself and what you can do. Thank you Sina you are an artist, born to drum!!
Wow, this takes me back to the summer of '79, when I bought "Get the Knack" on vinyl. You certainly have a knack for drumming, Sina!
Me too. When I first heard it, I couldn't make out the lyrics exactly and thought it either had something to do with mice, or the San Franciso treat, Rice a Roni.
That is no knack, that is genius!
Doug Fieger's brother is a successful ambulance chaser here in Metro Detroit.
Outstanding! This is not an easy drum track. It took courage to play this. To be able to pull this one off takes real ability and you have girl!
Bruce Gary is smiling down...
Stephen Lawson ...and Doug Fieger as well.
I’ve watched this video like 30 times. Never get tired of watching it!
She is awesome
My Dad and I dance to this tune when I was a kid! We have a record of this song, love it!
Even playing other people's songs, Sina always makes the drums the most interesting part. Awesome!
You make the world a better place by sharing your TALENT Sina .....THANK YOU...started my Sunday with this
BEST to you ❤
Thanks for covering the full version with the great guitar solo. You rock!!!!
Summer of ‘79 about to go into 8th grade. This song was a monster hit that summer. One of the best pop rock songs ever recorded. A few years later in college when this came on in the bars the kids would lose their minds. Fantastic cover as usual. I’m a sucker for that subdivision late in the song where he goes form 16ths to triplets. You nailed this song and loved some the extra ghost notes on some of the fills.
I was 10 and I recorded it on my portable Radio Shack off of Kasey Kasem's top countdown
Even when I was a kid, this has always been one of my favourite drum performances, and she played it so well
Some say I have a knack for writing these comments. Muh muh muh maybe, but one thing's for sure - today we all have The Knack...
THE SONG - "My Sharona" was written by Berton Averre (lead guitarist) and Doug Fieger (lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist). The guitar riff had been created years earlier by Averre and Fieger promised to include it in a song someday. Fieger claimed he wrote the lyrics in 15 minutes. When he was 25, Fieger was inspired to write after meeting 17 year-old Sharona Alperin. Although the age difference, and the teenage lustiness of the lyrics later became somewhat controversial, Sharona apparently resisted his advances and, when they eventually started dating, it was reportedly with her father's consent and she had also turned 18. Fieger would later say the lyrics were written from the perspective of a 14 year-old boy.
"My Sharona" was the biggest hit single of 1979. It was the debut single of their album 'Get The Knack' which was produced by Mike Chapman and recorded at MCA Whitney Recording Studios in Glendale, California. Chapman, who had produced Blondie and Suzi Quatro, said he told the band it would be a #1 hit the first time they played it for him. All of the songs were recorded within a two week period in April 1979 for under US$20,000. "My Sharona" was released in June 1979 and entered Billboard's Hot 100 chart at #86 on June 23. With massive radio play, it quickly shot to #1 on Aug 25th and held that spot for six weeks. It stayed within the top 20 until Oct 27 and was last charted at #97 on Nov 17, 1979.
The Knack were not a bunch of kids from a garage band who just happened to make it big, they were experienced musicians in their mid-to-late 20s who had been playing together for some time. All through 1978, they played club gigs at the Troubador and the Whisky. They built up a large L.A. fan base that included Tom Petty, Stephen Stills and Bruce Springsteen who would jam with them at the Troubador. Doug Fieger once said "Bruce Springsteen gets up onstage with us on a Friday night, and on Monday, we have 14 record offers."
Unfortunately, The Knack were a victim of their own success. "My Sharona" set the bar so high that there was little chance of a repeat and the pressure from the record company and the fear of seeing their popularity slip away led to substance abuse. They took a year off from mid-1980. When they returned, internal squabbles and chart failures led to Fieger's departure on Dec 31, 1981. By mid-1982, the band had split up.
Doug Fieger was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2006. Despite surgery and chemo, he battled brain and lung cancer and died on Feb 14, 2010 aged 57. Drummer Bruce Gary, whose iconic drum groove opens "My Sharona", died from lymphoma on August 22, 2006 at the age of 55.
THE DRUM COVER - Californian Bruce Gary was born in 1951. He learned to play drums as a kid using a drum set his cousin had grown bored with. He left home at 15 and was soon playing with Albert Collins. By the mid-70s, he was touring and recording with Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor and Dr John. Doug Fieger invited him to join The Knack in 1978. For "My Sharona", he developed a groove to complement Berton Averre's guitar riff. He described it as a surf stomp influenced by "Going to a Go Go" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles with an added flam - a closely spaced double hit on the snare - to make it sound fuller.
According to 'Modern Drummer' magazine - "It’s important to note that the drum sound on 'Get the Knack' is markedly out of character with a lot of hit records that were being made in the late ’70s. Where the norm was to have a flat, fairly dead-sounding kit, 'Get the Knack' sees Gary and Chapman going in the opposite direction with lively, open-sounding toms, a popping snare, and a substantial amount of sound-expanding room ambience."
After The Knack split up Gary became an in-demand session drummer for artists like Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Stephen Stills, Rod Stewart, and many others.
"My Sharona" was a hit 20 years before Sina was born. Bruce Gary passed away when Sina was still a child. For today's cover it was Sina's job to breathe new life into an old hit and an iconic drum beat. Since she usually uses a drumless track for a drum cover, which would not have any of Gary's drumming to follow, we asked how she prepared. Sina told us that she searched for videos of Bruce Gary's drumming to study. With that inspiration she was ready to decide which parts to emulate and which she would play in her own style. Sina told us that her video research "helped a lot and I tried to duplicate what he did there as accurate as possible. But in the 2nd half of the song I started to improvise and add a bit more of my own playing to the song. That was possible because we indeed used a drumless track."
If you'd like to know more about Bruce Gary's drumming style, Sina recommends - ruclips.net/video/RBDh9-dEDfA/видео.html
Equally diligent in her searching, Ro discovered an elusive 24 minute documentary on the making of "My Sharona". Made before Bruce Gary and Doug Fieger passed away, all 4 band members plus producer Mike Chapman and Sharona Alperin discuss the song. It's in three parts -
Part One - ruclips.net/video/RtqA82G6NlQ/видео.html
Part Two - ruclips.net/video/lnU4GuSKGOw/видео.html
Part Three - ruclips.net/video/RO17pcqtGk0/видео.html
PERSONAL NOTE - Once again, thanks to Sina and Mike for their cooperation and Ro for finding stuff that I never could.
Also, I won't have a comment next Friday. A family thing with the in-laws will take us about a 5 hour drive away from Comment Central. We'll be gone Friday to late Sunday. You guys are in good hands though. I'm sure Sina and Mike will give you all the info you really need. Cheers!
Waiting patiently 😊
Standing by.
Anything you have to say is worth the wait Juliet :)
Do you see it yet? I just tried for the second time.
@@julietp.5877 YASS everything links and text are A OK 👍
These girls are FANTASTIC, and they play every song from my time, late 60's 70's and 80's Watching Sina, play the drums, gives me goose-bumps, she is sooooo talented. And Jadyn Rylee, I don't know how old she, I guessing real young, She has such a beautiful voice. I been seating here listening to these girls, and loving every minute. It does choke me up, hearing all the music I listen too, back in the days, and watching this young people showing an interest, in the music I grew up too.
Im out of my mind listening to this young lady in a good way,she is better than i ever was😂😂
I am no drummer but even I know you nailed the pause !!!! Superb well done
I never get tired of watching you perform! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! Thank you very much for sharing!
The more I listen to her play, I appreciate more the inventive, original drum arrangements because now the entire performance is mixed with extreme care and right up front and you can hear all the details of what was played by the original drummers. Thanks~!
Ppppp0pukkiiup
You’re literally my favorite drummer to watch cause I’m 15 and I play a lot of instruments too and it’s nice to see that someone has the same taste in music as me
How does she make it look so easy, Sina was born with drum sticks in her hands
I was in high school when this came out back in 1979... the song jammed... great drums, great guitar and lead guitar... song of the year in 1979... the Knack kind of fizzled out quickly but this song will always be remembered...
Being a musician myself I listen to a lot of cover bands, particularly a lot of drum covers. Most drummers that do covers are very, very good, but they miss one very important aspect. Their sound just isn't true to the original song, i.e., the snare drum is to "loose", the hi-hat is "tinny", or the bass drum is off. Your renditions, however, are spot on. Even before you changed mics you had a quality sound no other can match. Thanks for paying attention to detail and for another great cover of a great classic. -->Ric
It's worth remembering that interpretation is also important so being true to an original is all very well but the personality of the musician is of equal importance and should be allowed to shine through. Being a stickler for "true to" isn't necessarily a good thing if it hinders creativity.
but isnt it supposed to just cover a song but they should have their own sound, not initiating the band itself
100 per cent
I like it when they nail the original sound like she did....top notch. I don't like to hear someone else's "take" on the original. No one likes a kit car....the original or nothing at all
Perfectly said...
Yesssss!!!!! This little gal nailed it! I am impressed. Takes me back to the club days when this song was released. Keep up the great work!
the most talented and focused musician , drummer that i know of .
I put on my headphones, closed my eyes and listened to the whole song. 99.9% close to my LP recording. Watching the video is a bonus.Enjoyed it very much. Thank you Sina.
Great to see a spotlight on drums on a song that never really involves a real drum solo, just lots of cool fills and guitar service. Well done!
I love the talent, after playing for over 30 years, I'm in a band with a former worldwide touring singer, I've learned a lot over the years, but I love watching you play and appreciate your amazing talent.... you have great chops, timing and fluidity. You and I play the same cymbals, although I have a few ziljians that I have to have for shows. My true love is drums, although I play bass, keys, and guitar, I have to say that you rock ! you're amazing, don't ever stop playing !!!!!
I often comment how great this young woman is but this is a very difficult rhythm to deal with and she is RIGHT ON, and I am so impressed with this woman. She is incredible as a drummer and plays so well it is incredible!! Ray C. Florida
I drive a motorcycle having to use both hands and feet individually but she takes coordination to another level. You are da bomb!
Nailed it. This is one of my favorite songs from when I was a kid and I still jam out to it no matter where I am when it comes on. Fantastic job. You are awesome
I have been a fan of Sina for a while now, and I appreciate Sina for her amazing talent. On many videos I can actually see her facial expressions during her drumming. and they are super exhilarating ..... the videos where her hair is all over her face absolutely doesn't take away from her talent, but for me, when I can't see the thrill, the love, the excitement on a musician's face, it takes away from my experience of connection with her playing.
this beautiful girl, who plays the drums well, and with a theme of the best of all time. Congratulations
You have been blowing my mind for a few years now and I just love watching you because your doing something I wanted to do when I was young. It makes me very happy to see you smashing those drums and enjoying it so much, thank you for all that you give to me and everyone that watches.
She's definitely got The Knack! Go Sina~

La mejor . niña...

Well played sir
@nm
This song is about bass guitar and drums. You nailed it!!
Good golly Ms. Molly, you did that to PERFECTION! You sent chills right down my spine, and that is not easy to do. WOW!
I have always told others that they want to be a drummer in a band, if you can lick this song, you are DESTINED to become a great drummer.
And no, it's not about how many toms or cymbals you have, it's what you make of it.
What an EXCELLENT JOB.
My props to you my love!
Any time I have a song to learn, I check to see if Sina has done the cover. This is the best way to see and hear the song done right. Thank you Sina!
A great song and an excellent drum kit. It is always a pleasure to see you pouring energy through the drums, strong and direct. Seeing you smile at the beginning of the video is invigorating and shows how much you enjoy your work, which is a pleasure for me. Congratulations and have an excellent weekend.
How am I just seeing this? I really hope to God this young lady became a super star, because WOW, what a talent!
ich bin ende 50 und dieses drum cover hat mich an meine alten zeiten erinnert als ich dieses stück gehört habe und du hast mich in diese zeit zurückgeholt. hammer cover sina. many thx
I suggested she try covering this song, a while back thinking it just might be too challenging. She killed it. It's one of my favorite songs because of the drums. I play air-drums to it, and I get winded half-way through. LOL. Great job.
This one looked like it takes some stamina. I was wondering how she made it look so effortless.
Anybody gives this awesome young lady a thumbs down should go play in traffic at rush hour on a super highway,,,,,,you are totaly awesomeSINA
I love the smile at the beginning and her sheepish smile at the end. So much energy and force but makes it look so easy. Thank you. A bright future is in store for you. Well done mom and dad!
I love 💕 this song it's as old as I am and Sina has brought it back to life. Memories 💯 💐💐
Sina, wow I think you enjoyed playing that as much as I enjoyed listening to it. If ever there was a song made for a drummer this is it this song would be nothing without the drums. You absolutely nailed this one and you couldn’t help giving us that beautiful smile at the beginning and again at the end loved it .
Well put Fred
Same her a Fred and Frank.
She's getting better and better!
Keep rocking yoig lady
Yep truly amazing, what talent. You rock girl
Where would this song ever have been or where would it be today without a great drummer?
Mike
Brought a smile to me, seeing the joy from her.
Takes me back to when my kids were small and having a blast.
One of the best things in life.
Keep rocking young lady.
All the best in whatever your life brings.
Love everything she plays. Love being able to see how it's all played. I watch and try to play along. Thanks keep on rocking.
I've lost count how many times I've watched this video, there's something about how Sina shakes her head to the groove I love sooooo much but it's so hard to explain
She does seem to be having more fun that usual
Sina, I was 16 when this song came out and you definitely took me back. You so totally rock! I mean, you sound EXACTLY like the record!!! It's really nice to see young people enjoying and playing the music of my generation. We truly had some great music back in those days. Thanks for making me feel young again. I've heard your many other drum covers as well. You're so damn talented I expect that pretty soon, you'll get snatched up in a recording contract somewhere and won't be playing RUclips anymore....and I wish you all the success in the world :) YOU DESERVE IT!!! Best Wishes.
Sina, I Absolutely Love your drum playing. I was born in 1961, and you Play a lot of songs from my Era. You are so Very Awesome Girl, and don't let No One tell you Any Different. You make me Very Happy Girl. Please Keep It Up !,,,,
It's amazing how talented you are. Thank you for sharing your music with the world and contributing to my good day!!! 😊
How many noticed Sina's new look? New drum set, new jeans, new top, hair back, big smile....I am happy that she kept her trademark "red shoes" and necklace! Seriously though Sina, I look for a smile in every video you do and I was rewarded today a the 4:28 mark when you were concentrating so hard and you evidently played up to you own expectations. It was a little smile that said "whew got that this time" I think. Luv U (The Whoo)
Thank you :)
@@sina-drums Ha - we ALL know the talent is there - we're now all just waiting for the special smile! It's all part of the deep enjoyment code.
It's evident you're paying as much attention to the sound and engineering of your videos as the incredible work that's going into the drumming itself. May God continue to bless you - you're spreading a lot of love around the world doing this, it's a major breath of sweet air on this troubled planet.
Poetry in motion. Unbelievably great. Wow. Stunned at the perfection. All of the above. Thank you.
Great job! Love the drums right before guitar solo!
Great to see the young people of today picking up where the great drummers and guitarists of yesteryears have already died or gotten too old.
Good job. 🙂
I love songs that start with just drums. This song is immediately identifiable with the first beats. By the way, Sharona was real and became a realtor in California.
This song was in my generation long time ago. I enjoyed watching Sina performed it. Awesome Sina!!!
THIS GIRL IS PERFECT IN ALL SHE PLAYS !!!
REALLY A GREAT DRUMMER DOES NOT MISS A BEAT !!! WOW !!!
Not only is this a very good tune, Sina, you aced it!!! It's one of my favorite tunes of all time, you made it seem new!!!!!
Sina it's a killer machine .... every cover she does it's a amazing masterpiece ❤❤❤
I love watching Sina's spirit and passion and talent. Wonderful!
She is a total natural! Absolutely spot on!
Double time at the end of the solo is so good, I always love that part.
I never get tired of watching your videos you definitely have the heart and soul of a drummer i hope you get everything you want in life you deserve it
Amazing job again, literary played you four an hour at my work and No one was the wiser until i showed them... Over an hour of grear tunes crossing different generations. My Thanks!
Very nicely done. You make me smile every time I watch and listen to this one. Thank you Sina.
These are songs of my youth in the skating rink with my then girlfriend and hearing this jam. Not only nostalgic but watching Sina play it to perfection is twice as nice.
This is what the music video for this track should have looked like!! Classic song! Cracking drummer! Woop woop!
Anybody on here old enough to remember when this was on the radio? I do... Like 1979 ? I'm older, but this song still makes me shake my Ass. 10 years old in 1979.... And young lady, you put a smile on my face.
15 in 79. High school first dates😍
25 in 1979. I remember shit you woudn't believe.
Some experiences make life worth living. Listening to Sina is one of them.
To call her awesome would be an understatement.
I love everything she plays.
I just can't get over how talented this young lady is, very very good!
Amen
You are simply my favorite drummer in the world. Your taste is impeccable too. 😊
Wow! That is my favorite song of all time and she totally nailed it!!
Sina is amazing and musical intertainment second to none.
I have been smiling through this whole performance. Great drums on this song.
The more of these performances i see the more impressed i am. Its good to see talent like that.
I’m self taught but I’m learning things watching her. I wish I had found these videos earlier. Although not instructional this is how I can learn faster. Thanks!!
I've "hit the wall" many times but you keep me going, THANKS EVER SO MUCH, SINA !!!! I don't know if you know how far your work effects people but i'm in Canada and you are my inspiration, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
100 % drums, where you see how it's done. A dream comes true and this will be a long, long night. Absolutely Great!
a very amazing young lady
Totally awesome, beat for beat-Sina

Great job on a very difficult song! I was a drummer in a rock band back in the 90's and we tried to get this song down, but I just couldn't do it. So many changes, off beats and quick rolls that were just beyond my ability. You make it look so easy!
Insane. One of favorite songs growing up and one of favorite solos. Awesome.
Absolutely insane!! Sidnt realize how much effort there was in this great song. 👍👍
Drumming is a complete workout isn't it? Before I started looking at these vids close I used to think it was mainly hands but the feet get quite a workout too I see. Probably one of the most physically strenuous instruments to play especially for a whole concert. So much respect for the drums now.
I never tire watching this video. Perfectly in sync with the song. Wonderful Sina!
Beautifully done Sina the world should know u with that kind of talent wow👍
ruclips.net/video/ko3m0NBbq1o/видео.html
how many 18/19 year old kids know this song... ONE!!!! you, young lady, are aMAzing!!!! ive been watching your vids for the last 4 hours, nonstop, since i first "discovered" you. it is SO refreshing to see a kid your age with something in their hand other than a cell phone or video game controller. you have a FABulous gift and supreme talent. your future is as bright as the sun. it would not surprise me at all, if one day, my grandchildren watched you receive a musical lifetime achievement award. you are BRILLIANT. my best to you. (and keep banging out the RUSH)
Man I'm 18 and I know it, I don't think it's very niche
that one peperoni commercial that used to play a while back. I knew it before that though
YES!!! Great job, Sina!! This is a very riff based song that is totally driven forward by the aggressive drumming. I used to play this tune years ago in a cover band. After watching you play this I've decided to get the band back together..LOL!! Thank you for the inspiration!! BRAVO!!!
one of my favorite songs as a child and you have bought back such happy memories... Love you Girl.. Steve aged 53yrs
Watching this young lady work gives me renewed appreciation as to what it takes to be a really, really good drummer. Very well done!
