There is something so primordial and visceral about this solo. Pure emotion. Cindy’s a beast!
Yeah and someday she`ll learn patterns that 6 year olds do better
That bass drum!!!!!! OMG... it's like a cannon.... and a single pedal...she's off the charts amazing.... so much respect for her
Can we all acknowledge the musicality of these drums. They sound incredible!
No se por que equipo lo escucharia usted para no darse cuenta de que el tercer timbal suena horrible, esta muy mal equalizada, ( que no es lo mismo que afinada, son dos cosas distintas).
I have known Cindy for many years and she over the years is like fine wine in her playing.... Love you Cindy, YEAH!!
Saw her play live at Santana concert in 2019. She freaking killed it! One of the best.
"I believe that music is so sacred that once you're playing music you are doing the work of prayer, whether you're conscious of it or not, because you have a focused intent", says Blackman. "You transcend, because you're crossing barriers that a lot of people and even us as musicians don't normally venture to, because we don't think about it. When you can learn to move those energies, even if they're sad, into something that is of benefit, like focusing on bringing light to people who are listening, or just to the universe in general, then you can do something good with it. I don't keep that in mind 100 per cent of the time - I'm human - but I try to." - from her wiki article
Thanks❤
She was transcending here!
That was incredible. So musical. The left hand control for rimshots was spectacular but what blew me away was the musicianship and the tuning. I am never, normally, a fan of definite pitch on the kit but that kit was tuned like a ukulele and played like an orchestral instrument. I'm in awe.
Tony Williams would be extremely proud.
...and with the black dots, no less.
@@porgie808 I get their appeal, but I just don't like the way they sound at all most of the time.
Although, I will say, here, they have pleasing sound with that particular kit, tuning, mics, etc. But, all things being equal, I'd much prefer a more convention drum heads over these every single time.
@@GeoffBosco Have to tune them high
I was just going to say the same thing, Chad...
Ya beat me to the TW comment!
I've seen a lot of videos of impressive women drummers, but Cindy is the only one who plays traditional grip that i've seen. Hats off
Terri Lynn Carrington
Terri Lynn as well.
@@HaydesGrooves Do I hear an Echo? LOL
But can she play seven nation army??
Karen Carpenter {RIP} played traditional back in the day and could really play as well, not trying to take anything away from Cindy. They are both excellent drummers
A drummer’s drummer for sure. She has it all, every time I hear her play I get inspired to get better. Dynamics up the ying yang, technique like no other and omg the talent!!!
I can tell you this lady can kick butt on the drums!! She is a wonderful musician and has the knowledge and talent to lay it down. Love it love it.
This was a crazy ride. I was up on this energy, she made it so personal so much emotion. Humanity needs this much focus.
That sound, those chops, the set up..Huge Tony Williams influence, yet she still manages to maintain her own sound..Absolutely superb..I'm also a huge fan and user of clear and coated cs black dot heads...👍👍
Man I love her!!!
Somehow it's been longer than I like to admit since I've watched an old-school long drum solo. And Cindy is one of the best!
Her devotion to Tony Williams is heart melting... such an amazing drummer!
The drums are truly talking!!! Great trip, great wave, pre-linguistic language of the shaman, , ahhhhhh loved every second !!!
One of the most raw and full of passion drum solos I ever heard...truly amazing!
She beats that drumkit like it owes her money.
But in all honesty, that was a great watch.
More like it stole money from her lol
Saw this beautiful lady last night with Santana. Absolutely phenomenal on a set twice this size!
she attacks the drums with this feminine ferocity I can't really explain -- as someone who is also a female drummer, I aspire to be like Cindy. just absolutely dominating everything with so much confidence and passion. breaking down barriers and making her own way. I love it
Astonishing. She may have started with a Tony Williams approach, but she speaks her own language now and it is magnificent. This has got to be one of the best solos I've ever heard on ANY instrument. Thanks Drumeo.
I had the pleasure of meeting Cindy some years back at her grandmother's funeral. When she shook my hand, holy shit what a grip. She is the nicest person. Autographed a picture for me .
I love watching a drummer kill it playing traditional grip.
No words for this emotion
I like that you didn't kill that snare drum with practically placing a pillow on top of it like 99.9% of drummers do nowadays. Awesome!.
I have to say I am a new fan! I love to learn and find drummers that have been around for some time I should have known who she is sooner but I like surprises! She is fantastic! A beast!
the energy, technique, passion, HUT DAMN chops, groove, THE SOUND!! that bass drum!! she is awesome. awesome.
I love this woman. She drums like I feel on a Monday morning -- raw and aggressive, on edge, unprepared even to rise out of bed and yet somehow ready to kill everything in my path.
Drumeo, next time warn us, please. I almost fell off my chair with the amount of stuff Cindy was playing. She was already at level 3000 and dammit I wasn't ready.
😉 Warning, the next festival performance that we release will knock your socks off!
Like Tony Williams I believe.
@@DrumeoOfficial Larnel Lewis?
She's in Ultra Instinct mode
Been a fan of hers for many years. Her playing is always so musical. Man, this was something else, though! Think I need to practice tonight...
I might just burn my set tonight
I hope you did practice, my friend! Best of luck on your musical journey.
@@RonCarterBassist "Spanish Blue' is one of my favorite albums of all time ... Thank you for sharing your talent!
wow, that bass drum shook my core. groove is so killer even the hi hat is dancing @9:36
That’s the loosest hat I’ve ever seen!
FEROCIOUS!!! love it. (and I'm happy to see one kick pedal for a change.)
Speed with INCREDIBLE👌 Control that Hand and Foot technique hands down ,love that washy Hi hat by the way. She's a Mysterious Drummer with so much Skill and Heart in her playing.👍
Tony Williams Homage? Damn, that was mind blowing!
Totally awesome! The best drum solo I've ever seen!! Total on the #1!!! Nailed it Cindy, great flow, verve, style, panache, poise, speed, flow, control, everything really. Best drum solo ever!!!! Go Girl!!!!!
dang she started angry and stayed angry
Ong
Guess she was angry from the tries before she got it perfect 🤣... I'm a drummer too... Sometimes when you're too happy and confident, that's when you mess up... Maybe not for everyone but yeah
Maybe she's thinking about racial injustice and how much she hates it.
She plays angry because she can’t play like Tony Williams!! She hits those drums like she wants to inflict a beating on someone!!!
Not saying it never happens and when it does I’ll stand with you and say convict that cop to life in a cage, but it’s not happening to blacks more than whites or Hispanics. It’s that the news has an agenda to create division and only covers one side of the story 24/7, DONT believe me??? There were 14 black men killed unarmed by cops in 2019, and 19 white men unarmed killed by cops, tell me a single one of the white mens names? Weren’t covered, Black was each and every time however.
I love Cindy!!!
I love her energy!!!
...WAHNSINN...was für eine unglaubliche frau - so ein fantastisches solo habe ich noch nie erlebt !...
The spirit of Tony lives on . Same set up and Rudiments and skins. Cindy is on fire what an amazing solo channelling the great Tony.
Last time I saw her live was at Wembley Stadium with Lenny Kravitz opening for Aerosmith about 98/99 and I was blown away then, over 2 decades before I took up the drums, now I'm even more blown away!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow! Every single time I watch this fabulous solo, I am just so... amazed...!!! Here we go again! So good, it brings tears into my eyes... Fantastic video. thanks!
Amazing!! I have been a fan of Cindy Blackman Santana for ten years
Those cymbals look and sound great
Watching her play took me out of my drumming rut. Thank you so much.
Best of luck on your musical journey! I hope you are still playing.
I want that Istanbul Mantra 22" ride sooooo bad. Saving up to get it right now. Sounds so incredible. You rule Cindy!!! Thank you for sharing your talents and gift! 🙏🏼
I'm a fan now. Best I've seen in a few decades.
Wow. There are not many who can get inside Tony's head and heart like that. Respect, man. Respect. That was phenomenal.
Absolute bombastic bass drum sound. Mic on the batter head. Way to go.
One of the best sounding solos I have seen in a long time. Bravo.
Saw her last Summer backing her husband's band. Couldn't here her for shit though. Shame because I really like her playing, especially here. Wow! She keeps getting better and better every time I hear her.
That's usually normal. The more you play, the better you get.
@@gaboogablah IDK how I feel about those kind of statements. There's a certain accuracy to it but it implies there's no limit on everyone's abilities.
@@GeoffBosco I've been playing 45 years and I have limitations, and can admit them.
An impeccable performance ! Totally awesome.
That drumset sounds so damn good. Also her playing is so good.
Cindy was Handed A Blessing Directly From The HAND OF GOD....................WOW
Using traditional grip playing kit on a solo is just showing off. God I love her. Absolute beast!
I absolutely love Cindy’s approach to rhythms!
I met her at Namm and she taught me some jazz hi-hat groves!
She’s such a wonderful, beautiful person !
I simply love Cindy she is awesome
Her left hand! Her chops! The power she has in her arms! Good God...
Old school, love it!
That drum action makes silk look rough. Incredible performance!
"Tonya Williams"!! Cindy, is phenomenal, and never fails to keep a groove in whatever she's playing. So tasteful!
Amazing energy, spirit, passion and talent !!!!!!! Wow
There was a thousand calories burned in this segment, just from watching her 😂😂
I have seen Billy Cobham MANY times, starting back in the early 70's with Miles Davis and then superstardom with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Cindy is the only drummer I have seen in the ensuing 50 years that plays with Billy's ferocity, taste and athleticism.
Tony Williams would be feeling this. Cindy Blackmon Santana always been the truth on the drums. Respect
Cindy is amazing!!! 🤘 The first song I learn was "are you gonna go my way - Lenny Kravitz" so... She is a big inspiration 🤘
ALLAN CUETO - Cindy played live with LK, but it's actually him on the drums in the studio recording, and for most of his records..He's the only music artist to actually have a drum company endorsement, in this case, although I'm not sure if still there, but it's Ludwig..
She's rocking that Tony Williams setup!!
Funny, I immediately got that feel from her solo; I'm not even a fan of the late great Tony Williams.
Besides the monster playing, can I just mention, no muffling anywhere! Just proper tuning. And I know that the tuning doesn't work for every genre, but damn!
I honestly think it works well for nearly all genres. I use open tuning on my toms for thrash metal because you get a nice musical thunk from them that disappears nice and quickly when you hit them hard, for the prog rock stuff that I do just as often, they resonate for ages as a nice musical accent if you hit them softly. Works fine for me
@@sammyloehnis3373 I agree. Just preempting the naysayers that would say otherwise.
Yes, yes, and double yes !
I've had mad respect for her skills ever since I saw The Cindy Blackman Trio @ The Black Cat in DC. Amazing talent. 🔥🔥
She's rock n roll! Amazing sounding kit, very Williams. And super energetic playing!
Cindy's Power Is Unmatched!!
Where Power And Finness Meet!!!
Beyond excellent very extraordinary drummer, Cindy Blackstone Santana a Legend.
I have never seen a woman drummer in my life, like Cindy. Cindy Blackstone Santana is an inspiration to so many little girls, wanting to learn how to play drums, wanting to become a drummer, definitely an inspiration to the little ones to so many in our world
Cindy, puts so much passion, her soul, her heart into drumming.
Now, can you imagine doing this six nights, maybe seven nights a week during touring through every concert. Yeah exactly. Cindy, inspires me so very much…
when I watch Cindy Blackstone Santana play drums. Wow, blows me away.
I mean goes right to my soul
I love to listen to Cindy Blackstone Santana, play drums. Cindy’s performance is beyond words I can say.
Cindy, just totally an extraordinary legend in my eyes. I love Cindy Blackstone Santana like crazy.
It is my honor, I feel so blessed to chat with Cindy Blackstone Santana.
Cindy, is so down to earth a very loving woman, beautiful heart, and soul. I can’t say enough.
Love you like crazy Cindy Blackstone Santana. Love you like crazy. ✌🏻❤️🪘👊🏻🔥
You know, I know nothing about professional drumming. But I know about communication and she is saying something here you need to listen to. She's playing with emotion, hear her pattern.
Loved her from Lenny Kravitz days. How I just now found out she’s married to Carlos Santana is beyond me. Came full circle when I bought a Santana CD with a Chris Stapleton song on it after loving the MNF intro every week. She’s a legend!
THAT. IS. BAD. ASS. hats off, madam!
WOW Cindy Blackman A Living Legend!!!
Thank You Drumeo!!!
Wow! So musical. Great playing and phrasing.
And that BASS DRUM is ridiculously amazing-sounding!
Excellent solo. I can hear the rumba clave underneath throughout. Very rooted in African, Afro-Cuban traditions and throwing in some Jazz swing feel (also rooted in African 12/8 patterns) as well. Just really interesting to sense the influences---simply put, sounds really cool and makes one happy and want to dance. Strong and deliberate in her attack, very noticable. Great Cindy!
Absolutely Fantastic! So much precise determination! Buddy Rich would be proud of her! Practice, Practice and more Practice has really paid off!
Practice, practice, and more practice always does!
Mother of Percussion!! Amazing Solo performance 👸🏾👸🏾
Simply mind blowing! She is amazing!
This is the first time hearing or seeing her play. Pure awesomeness!
Proper drummer, you made my day, thanks Cindy your amazing!
Some of the heaviest stuff I ever heard. Love it.
Cindy POWER 👍💪
Wow!! Amazing dynamics and precision... and let me first to say it... THAT GREAT GRETSCH SOUND!!!
I do have admiration for Cindy doing a 12 minute session full bore.
Just first shot at the beginning of the solo wakes me up. That's a really great drummer does.
Buddy rich is enjoying this from heaven
Insane!
Saw her drum solo live at the Santana concert. Last night 07/19/2024 in North Jersey at the PNC Bank Arts Center. Totally blew my mind. There are no words to describe her talent. she is beyond description.
Me too!!
She's SIXTYFREAKINFOUR YEARS OLD!!!!
I have 3 floor toms just like Cindy's set. It took me a long to acclimate to it. Thanks for sharing the video.
Wow, this woman is a phenomenon, she is fantastic! 😲
That kick sounds amazing !
Best drum tuning I’ve heard live. Props to the tech
She is just AWESOME!!!! Such rhythm and skills!!
almost 61 and still magnificent
Cindy is a master at work . Very impressive.
Saw Cindy last night in Las Vegas. Her drumming is magnificient.
Like wow. She is a brilliant drummer.
I don't know what those hats ever did to her, but I feel like they deeply regret it now.
HA!
