What I love about these covers is that she plays absolute classics. The official videos of these songs usually focus on the singer or lead guitarist. It is really cool to watch these songs from the perspective of the drummer and she nails it every time! Thank you Sina, you are awesome!
I don’t have to comment on the performance of this video, my Lady Sina already knows my view of her, but I must say that I just have to shake my head at the people who give a dislike to anything this young lady does! I don’t understand how anyone can dislike her music and covers. We need many many more artists like Sina to carry the production of good music into the future!
I know what you mean. I like to ask these people what they didn't like about what she does. I for one love to watch here. always full of energy. Love the motion/ emotion she puts in to every song.
Every time I watch you, I see someone who can just sit down at the drum set and make magic happen. I am sure there are hours and hours of practice behind each song you do, but in your final performance you make it seem so easy. And the different camera views show how much is going on, all at the same time. You are a magician of the drums.
Wayne D - She was a drummer in her former life, reincarnated! It comes natural to the child as she gains from the previous. It is absolutely marvelous. I too am amazed at this prodigy.
@@robertakerman3570 I was gonna say, by the timestamp, this is way ahead of the rest of her trad-grip vids, which started in very late 2020... nonetheless, up to her usual standard of excellence, particularly the outro...
I think that what sets Sena apart from all the other drummers, besides her amazing talent, is the passion she brings to her music. It is infectious, and coupled with her smile, gives me a place to go when I need a bit of relief from this crazy world!
I'm 65 and this is just one of my favorite songs by Journey ( which I love all of Journeys songs) and Sina knocked it out of the park on the drum line ... ( Of course she did because she's awesome and the Best drummer on RUclips. ) ... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... 10 Stars out of 10 and two thumbs up for Sina's cover on this Journey tune ... 👍👍🤠!
Ahhh a"Journey" back into time when Love, Peace and Happiness was a plenty! I had to go and watch the original to see what you were referring to with Aynsley Dunbar's grip. Neal Schon, (Perhaps one of the most underated guitarists ever!), outfit and hair is hysterical! Love how you capture the essence dressing the part with your 70's top. As usual you were dancing with your kit but it appeared even more so here. *An animated Sina, is an AWESOME Sina!* I like the lighting and the split screen angles for this one too. Nice change-up and it was fitting for this song. This was Journeys first album with the legendary Steve Perry. IMO he is the only vocalist that belongs behind the mic with them. I have seen them numerous times over the years but the 2 most memorable shows were the Frontier and Escape tours. Escape, IMO, was easily in my top 10 shows ever! All the classics and wow what a stage show! Not sure how much of Journey's material you are familiar with but they have a ton of really great tunes. RUclips "Girl Can't Help It" One of the best. The epitome of the 80's in every way. Steve Perry in all of his glory! *Check out a young Randy Jackson from "American Idol" on bass! LOL! ~Journey one of the greats!~ Thanks Sina and crew. Love this!
Sina and "THE VOICE" STEVE PERRY, what would this world be without the power of music and possibilities. As Neil Young said, "Long may you run" Sina; thank you for your gift
What do Nils Lofgren, Eric Burdon, John Mayall, Frank Zappa, Shuggie Otis, Ian Hunter, Lou Reed, Jefferson Starship, Jeff Beck, David Bowie, Whitesnake, Sammy Hagar, Michael Schenker have in common? Join this journey to find out... THE SONG - "Wheel in the Sky" was written by Journey's guitarist Neal Schon, Robert Fleischman, and Diane Valory, bassist Ross Valory's wife. She had written a poem "Wheels In My Mind" which served as the basis for "Wheel in the Sky". Fleischman wrote new lyrics and Schon crafted the melody. Fleischman was Journey's vocalist prior to being replaced by Steve Perry who sang on the song. "Wheel in the Sky", along with the other tracks for Journey's fourth album 'Infinity', was recorded between Oct and Dec 1977 at His Master's Wheels Studio, San Francisco and Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles. 'Infinity' was released on Jan 20, 1978 and reached #21 on the Billboard 200 album chart. As a single, "Wheel in the Sky" was released on Apr 8, 1978 entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #89 on the same day. It peaked at #57 on May 13 and was last seen at #91 on May 27, 1978 with a total of 8 weeks on the chart. It was Journey's first song to chart on Billboard's Hot 100. There are a number of suggested meanings for the song - some off the wall. Perhaps the simplest is a story of loneliness, life on the road, and a desperate yearning to return home. The wheel is a metaphor for the passage of time. THE DRUMMER - No other modern rock / jazz / blues / fusion drummer has played with as many successful bands and musicians as Aynsley Dunbar. He has, to his credit, over 30 gold and platinum records from over 112 albums. Playing drums since the age of eleven, Aynsley began his professional career on the Liverpool jazz scene. In May 1982, he told 'Modern Drummer', "I finally got lessons when I was about 13. By that time I was playing rudiments better than my teacher. All he could do was help me read music and understand it. I left school when I was 15, and formed a trio with a sax player and a keyboard player." In 1966, Dunbar auditioned for Jimi Hendrix who had difficulty deciding between him and Mitch Mitchell - the latter won Hendrix's coin toss. Dunbar then joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in the summer of 1966. He stayed with Mayall until the spring of 1967. Dunbar explained, "Mayall wanted me to stop playing as much as I was, and become more of a “blues drummer.” I didn’t want to do that, so I decided to leave. The next day, Jeff Beck called me and asked me if I’d like to join his band." Dunbar was later the drummer for Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Frank invited him to L.A. where he lived in Frank's house for nine months. Aynsley said, "I played with him for nearly three years and had a great time." After some work with Lou Reed and David Bowie, Aynsley took a call from Neal Schon. "Journey had been calling me up ever since I had been with Bowie. I thought what they were doing was interesting, but what I didn’t realize was that what they tend to do is copy themselves. There was no ad-lib with them. The guitar solos are note for note just like the album. They wanted me to play note for note behind them, and I wouldn’t do it. So they put up with it for about 4 1/2 years before they told me to get out." Dunbar's drumming philosophy - "If you want to make a song a hit record, it’s got to be clean, crisp, and to the point. You can’t have million-note fills all over the place because people can’t hear them, they can’t understand it, and so they won’t want to buy it. It might appeal to all of the drummers in the world, but we only have X amount of drummers who are going to go out and buy that record. We have a million other people out there who want to hear something." Aynsley Dunbar prefers the traditional grip except when playing rock and roll. Rosanna asked Sina about grip choice and how she approached the cover. Sina told her, "I tried to copy the original drumming at the beginning and played more and more 'in the style of' towards the end. I chose the traditional grip because I saw Dunbar using it. For me, the matched grip is easier because I only started practising the traditional grip about one and a half years ago. It's really a completely different arm and wrist movement. It's a personal challenge to learn both." Although this is Sina's first Journey drum cover, she has taken on Aynsley Dunbar's drumming before. Check out her two Whitesnake videos "Still Of The Night" and "Here I Go Again".
She is holding the drumsticks like ansley and steve would! All great jazz drummers played that way. Sina is just one hell of a drummer! Nice seeing young generation playing INSTRUMENTS like the days of old instead of just pushing bottons and calling urself a musician!!
OK, I sat down to watch another one of your covers, and I've now watched 6 in row! Your drumming is simply mesmerizing, Sina! Thank you for keeping the "good" music alive!
Well Sina, I’ve now listened to this amazing cover at least a dozen times. All I can say is, WOW... You certainly nailed it! Thank you for once again making me smile...
I just found Sinas covers tonight and i shut my eyes and took a ride into the past all my favorites all rolled up into one very talented girl.I sure hope to hell someone somewhere takes this amazing young later right up the ladder to stardom because she is a STAR
I've said something on this before. But to all young women who want drum, and are passionate about it follow sina's example. Go on make it happen, she did and just look at her now.!!!!! Don't let ANYONE put you down. !!
You always come across these gems to cover. And this is truly a classic that deserved your touch. You hinted to never having done this band before. I'm sure your request list is miles long and finding the right drum-less track is full time work. Glad you could squeeze this one in. Great song, great band and awesome drum work. Thank you Sina (and crew).
Steve Smith is one of the most underrated drummers. Great cover kiddo! Love the traditional grip and the off center tip placement on the snare. This shows that you are really out to get his sound! Great job!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahah, Steve is not playing on this album, Ainsley Dunbar is the drummer, and he came up with this part, this girl has some problem playing it the way it is, gee, listen to good musicians
Aloha Miss Sina! I really like Journey and this cover is awesome. This isn't your first venture into traditional grip and I hope not the last. I watched a Buddy Rich documentary and he said that matched grip was for tympani and the younger generation of drummers should realize there are other ways .. traditional grip. So you made Buddy Rich proud I guess. 😁 Fun fact: I'm in Australia and I'm getting to meet Andrew Hutchison and his wife for pizza this evening. Then we are going to watch an Ironstone and Miss Victoria gig at a local club. I'm pretty excited. So thank you very much for introducing me to so many talented singers and musicians and ultimately new friends. Sina-Drums is the best! 😁🤘💕😎
Power and precision, extra focused playing, sharp, and with a lot of feeling. There’s magic in Sina’s hands and the way she strikes cymbals in this piece. Wonderful playing all the way!! Nice choice, btw!💯💪
I will speak in my native language "Excelenteeeeeeeeeee!!! Muchisimas Gracias por ese Video. Esta Cancion Me Hace Recordar a mi Padre Es Una de mis Favoritas y de mi padre tambien, La Energia con la cual realizas tu Performance es Unica y Especial. Muchas gracias y Muchos Exitos."
I'm loving how similar this skilled young lady's taste in music is to mine. Pretty much every single cover from Sina is a song by my favorite artists. I'm nearly twice her age but most tracks are from a time when even I was a little boy or not even born. Great music is timeless and it puts a smile on my face that Sina is such a perfect proof of that in my book.
💓 Winter is here again oh Lord Haven't been home in a year or more I hope she holds on a little longer Sent a letter on a long summer day Made of silver, not of clay Ooh, I've been runnin' down this dusty road Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I don't know where I'll be tomorrow Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I've been trying to make it home Got to make it before too long Ooh, I can't take this very much longer, no I'm stranded in the sleet and rain Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again The mornin' sun is risin', it's kissing the day Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I don't know where I'll be tomorrow Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' My, my, my, my, my For tomorrow Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow Wheel in the sky keeps me yearning Ooh, I don't know, I don't know Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' Don't know where I'll be tomorrow Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps turnin' Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
This song put my youngest brother into the principles office in grade school. The teacher asked him "What does wheel in the Sky mean? He replied. I don't know! A bicycle wheel?" With that the teacher got angrey wrote a note and sent him down too the office. Well, he was asked over and over again and he said "I don't know. many times." Being just 7 years old he did not know about the real meaning being " the sun. in the sky." So he was sent home with a teachers note over the question posed from this song." As for you playing it so powerfully and more expressive it has become another band tune improved by you!!! Way to go!!!
Hi Sina, ich habe mir das Video jetzt 6mal nacheinander angeschaut und angehört! Zu Beginn war ich nur beeindruckt davon, wie exakt Du den Drum Part spielst. Mit jedem Betrachten und Anhören bin ich aber mehr beeindruckt von Deiner Leistung! Weel in the Skye ist leider ein Stück Musik, das viel zu selten gespielt wird. Danke, dass Du es aufgegriffen und so unglaublich gut performed hast.
Traditional Grip. In Wheel In the Sky, Sina is using Traditional Grip rather than Match Grip; I'm a Traditional Grip Drummer. Great Job Sina - raises your sticking and movement around the drums to another level.
One of my top 10 all time favorites. As always, you rocked it. I cannot conceive of a world where you do not "make it" in the music industry. Thank you Sina. I enjoyed it.
It is very difficult to play drums. I've counted it, there are four different things that SINA has served in this video. The snare, the toms, the bass drum, the hi-hats. And all in time. And in between the fills in time. Fantastic, what SINA does here. Thanks for the video. It's a very nice JOURNEY. ♥♥♥♥ Es ist schon sehr schwierig, Drums zu spielen. Ich habe mal gezählt, es sind vier verschiedene Dinge, die SINA in diesem Video bedient hat. Die Snare, die Toms, die Bass-Drum, die Hi-Hats. Und das alles im Takt. Und zwischendurch noch die Fills im Takt. Schon phantastisch, was SINA hier leistet. Vielen Dank für das Video. Es ist eine sehr schöne JOURNEY. ♥♥♥♥
I had this album when,"JOUNEY CAPURED LIVE" came out.This song is on it.Steve Perry may no longer be with Journey,but watching you do a cover of"Wheels in the Sky",he always will be.You truly are amazing.There's a song that was out in the late 70's called,"I got the music in me".I believe you do Sina.It shows when your playing.Music is a form of art.Us onlookers are watching you paint what you feel.Thank you for being.
I continue to be impressed by your nods to the background of the artists you cover (the Union Jack t-shirt, the Ringo drumkit set-up, playing traditional grip here...) Well done.
Its always so great seeing Sina work her magic on the drums!!!! Sina, You are fantastic as always!!! Thank you!!! Thanks to you and your team for pumping out great videos week in week out... You are all so wondeful and much appreciated, thank you!!!
This Journey cover of yours also deserves 3 million views Sina. Don't know why it hasn't got the attention Don't Stop Believin' has received. Just my opinion of course.
Sina, A great song and a great band you captured the drums perfectly as you always do. I never notice things like the grip but you do and i'm sure it's important all I know is your playing is spot on and I really enjoyed this track. I hope you enjoy your weekend. Well done thank you.
Sina's drumming just seems to get so close to better than perfect with every drum cover. Sina is an inspiration to so many young lasses out there and especially in Japan, China, Russia, Poland, USA, UK, and, of course, Germany and many more countries. This is a great drum cover of Journey's Wheel in the Sky. I think Frank Brown's description of you as the "Princess of Drums" is spot on and it should be viewed as an EMPOWERING description. Continue with your musical JOURNEY. Sina es Trommeln scheint mit jedem Drumcover so nah an besser zu werden, als perfekt zu sein. Sina ist eine Inspiration für so viele junge Brillen da draußen und vor allem in Japan, China, Russland, Polen, USA, Großbritannien und natürlich Deutschland und vielen anderen Ländern. Dies ist eine tolle Trommelhülle von Journey es Wheel in the Sky. Ich denke, Frank Browns Beschreibung von Ihnen als die "Prinzessin der Trommeln " ist genau richtig und sollte als EMPOWERING-Beschreibung angesehen werden. Fahren Sie mit Ihrem Musical JOURNEY fort.
There's only two things. One is that this is a tribute to Aynsley Dunbar, not Steve "The Machine Gun" Smith. The second one is that Sina did it her way, not excatly how Aynsley Dunbar did during the recording session and all live performances as well😀 And now something about a good song for a tribute to Steve Smith: imho "Don't Stop Believin'" would be the best choice😊
Sweet, journey cover, love journey. They have so many great songs. Separate ways, faithfully, anyway you want it, who's crying now. Great job Sina. I could listen to all the great journey songs with you on the drums.
Hi Sina I hope you read this. I found your videos a week ago and have been enjoying them all week. Love your style and confidence. I watched a lot from 2015 & 16 and I just saw a new one and your performance is great. Your posture is not. In 2015 you sat straight and your shoulders are back and your head is up. In 2020 this has begun to change. I have seen this before and it is hard to correct the longer it is ignored. PLEASE DON'T I hope to see you in concert some day at Soldiers Field or Wrigley Field in Chicago.
This is probably the most aggressive video I have seen Sina make. Her style is showing growth and more feeling in her art. This comes with time and emotional changes in one life I believe. I am sure that Sina will be one of, if not the dest drummer of all time one day.
You can just tell, she's having a good time.. you're fantastic Darlin.. keep it up ,you sure do have fun doing what you're doing.. you go girl!! have fun..lol. I listen to you and J.R all the time 24/7..
Growing up in the 70’s & 80’s Journey was one of my favourite bands. They are amazing musicians. Aynsley Dunbar is one of my favourite drummers. You obviously study the drummers you cover, but I really enjoy the way you embody his unique style and technique in this song. Have you listened to their first three albums? They’re more jazz-fusion oriented. Aynsley is really unleashed on those records.
As more than a few have stated already, it is wonderful to see youth of today play music that we grew up listening to in the 80's. Keep up the great work your doing and don't let anyone change you in any way!!!! Stay true to yourself.
Everytime I watch you play, I'm in awe. You are very gifted and a true representation for drummers everywhere! A Request, "Prince 1999 or Controversy , if you can. Thank you
This is amazing. A young lady nailing an old song. There is hope for music yet. As an aspiring amateur guitar player I know how many hours are beind these videos. We only see a few minutes of pure bliss, but believe me, there are thousands of hours of practice under her belt.
I don't think I've seen you use the traditional grip on the drumsticks. This is pretty incredible. Love it. Course I grew up with this music and I thank you very much for putting yourself out there for us.
Talk about coincidence; I just watched a few of 'Journey's' videos last night (but not this one). You did great work as always, even with the left-hand grip. Love how you very often wear a shirt befitting a theme.
Love many drummers most from years back, but Sina is the future... music is safe. Love the delicate performance, yet so powerful. Amazing to look at it too.

These videos have convinced me that the drums need to be hotter in the mix, no matter what the song.
Love it. I’m 68 and this music was a large part of my life. Thanks.
American Patriot same here , brings back great memories
68 is a good age to be
Dan c .......69 in couple weeks. Oh yeah.
Same here. :)
Just turned 69 a month ago. This was when music was good.

I know what you mean. I like to ask these people what they didn't like about what she does. I for one love to watch here. always full of energy. Love the motion/ emotion she puts in to every song.

Someone told her a secret: There are three "ü", or in english: the three "p":
üben

Can you play free falling by Tom p?
Wonder if this was Her 1st vid using "Traditional" right hand grip?
@@robertakerman3570 I was gonna say, by the timestamp, this is way ahead of the rest of her trad-grip vids, which started in very late 2020... nonetheless, up to her usual standard of excellence, particularly the outro...
Journey is definitely one of my all time favorite bands. Steve Perry has one of the most distinctive pure voices in rock history. Thanks Sina!
I Agree !!!!
I think that what sets Sena apart from all the other drummers, besides her amazing talent, is the passion she brings to her music. It is infectious, and coupled with her smile, gives me a place to go when I need a bit of relief from this crazy world!

Some amazing information, thanks so much!!
Some amazing drumming too! And a cool shirt as well! Cheers. :D
Juliet, I feel so much smarter after reading your weekly backgrounders.
you always have great info., it is very informative

Aynsley Dunbar played on "Wheel in the Sky." Steve Smith didn't join until the next album after Infinity.
hahahahahahahahahahahahah, Steve is not playing on this album, Ainsley Dunbar is the drummer, and he came up with this part, this girl has some problem playing it the way it is, gee, listen to good musicians
More Journey songs!!!! Mother Father is probably the most intense.
Girl, you are insanely talented. Thank you for being so awesome and sharing it with the world.
You make it look so easy! Absolutely accurate.
Aloha Miss Sina! I really like Journey and this cover is awesome. This isn't your first venture into traditional grip and I hope not the last. I watched a Buddy Rich documentary and he said that matched grip was for tympani and the younger generation of drummers should realize there are other ways .. traditional grip. So you made Buddy Rich proud I guess. 😁 Fun fact: I'm in Australia and I'm getting to meet Andrew Hutchison and his wife for pizza this evening. Then we are going to watch an Ironstone and Miss Victoria gig at a local club. I'm pretty excited. So thank you very much for introducing me to so many talented singers and musicians and ultimately new friends. Sina-Drums is the best! 😁🤘💕😎
Excellent job on this number, SINA! Beautifully executed! Very tight! POWERFUL!
Sina, I am so impressed by your drumming filled with your power of concentration!!!!!
I have watched this movie many times but it never gets boring.
Such intensity and passion love it
Power and precision, extra focused playing, sharp, and with a lot of feeling. There’s magic in Sina’s hands and the way she strikes cymbals in this piece. Wonderful playing all the way!! Nice choice, btw!💯💪
I will speak in my native language "Excelenteeeeeeeeeee!!! Muchisimas Gracias por ese Video. Esta Cancion Me Hace Recordar a mi Padre Es Una de mis Favoritas y de mi padre tambien, La Energia con la cual realizas tu Performance es Unica y Especial. Muchas gracias y Muchos Exitos."
I'm loving how similar this skilled young lady's taste in music is to mine. Pretty much every single cover from Sina is a song by my favorite artists. I'm nearly twice her age but most tracks are from a time when even I was a little boy or not even born. Great music is timeless and it puts a smile on my face that Sina is such a perfect proof of that in my book.

Winter is here again oh Lord
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer
Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
Ooh, I've been runnin' down this dusty road
Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
Ooh, I can't take this very much longer, no
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin', it's kissing the day
Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
My, my, my, my, my
For tomorrow
Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps me yearning
Ooh, I don't know, I don't know
Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps turnin'
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
This song put my youngest brother into the principles office in grade school. The teacher asked him "What does wheel in the Sky mean? He replied. I don't know! A bicycle wheel?" With that the teacher got angrey wrote a note and sent him down too the office. Well, he was asked over and over again and he said "I don't know. many times." Being just 7 years old he did not know about the real meaning being " the sun. in the sky." So he was sent home with a teachers note over the question posed from this song." As for you playing it so powerfully and more expressive it has become another band tune improved by you!!! Way to go!!!
Hi Sina, ich habe mir das Video jetzt 6mal nacheinander angeschaut und angehört! Zu Beginn war ich nur beeindruckt davon, wie exakt Du den Drum Part spielst. Mit jedem Betrachten und Anhören bin ich aber mehr beeindruckt von Deiner Leistung! Weel in the Skye ist leider ein Stück Musik, das viel zu selten gespielt wird. Danke, dass Du es aufgegriffen und so unglaublich gut performed hast.
Er spricht die reheine warheit!
I loved it. One of my favourite songs combined with your magic on drums. Thanks Sina
Traditional Grip.
In Wheel In the Sky, Sina is using Traditional Grip rather than Match Grip; I'm a Traditional Grip Drummer.
Great Job Sina - raises your sticking and movement around the drums to another level.
One of my top 10 all time favorites. As always, you rocked it. I cannot conceive of a world where you do not "make it" in the music industry. Thank you Sina. I enjoyed it.
Infinity- Journey's Greatest Album......................Perry/Rolie trading vocals... Schon guitar searing and Sina Dunsbar killing it!
Steve Perry - Journey is and are my favorite singer and group. Happy Birthday Steve. sending love!!!! :)
Great job Sina...Thank you :)
It is very difficult to play drums. I've counted it, there are four different things that SINA has served in this video. The snare, the toms, the bass drum, the hi-hats. And all in time. And in between the fills in time. Fantastic, what SINA does here. Thanks for the video. It's a very nice JOURNEY. ♥♥♥♥
Es ist schon sehr schwierig, Drums zu spielen. Ich habe mal gezählt, es sind vier verschiedene Dinge, die SINA in diesem Video bedient hat. Die Snare, die Toms, die Bass-Drum, die Hi-Hats. Und das alles im Takt. Und zwischendurch noch die Fills im Takt. Schon phantastisch, was SINA hier leistet. Vielen Dank für das Video. Es ist eine sehr schöne JOURNEY. ♥♥♥♥
What makes the drums difficult because I don't think they are
Love your playing Sina I have learned so much watching you play keep rocking
Sina,you are one of the most talented people ive ever seen!
Hats to say the perfect sina does it again, she is pure perfection, 😊😊😊
You make my morning drive to work tolerable. Thank you..drum on!!!!
Bravo young lady. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the world. 🌎
Great job, clean & crisp and rockin the traditional grip to classic Journey !!!
Old jams take me another place in time ,and Journey great music.Thank you for the memory.
Wonderful cover, love the original Journey. The two camera view is great 👍🏻
I had this album when,"JOUNEY CAPURED LIVE" came out.This song is on it.Steve Perry may no longer be with Journey,but watching you do a cover of"Wheels in the Sky",he always will be.You truly are amazing.There's a song that was out in the late 70's called,"I got the music in me".I believe you do Sina.It shows when your playing.Music is a form of art.Us onlookers are watching you paint what you feel.Thank you for being.
I continue to be impressed by your nods to the background of the artists you cover (the Union Jack t-shirt, the Ringo drumkit set-up, playing traditional grip here...) Well done.
Love watching you play....what a “Journey “ you’re on....you always make me smile......phenomenal....
A song from my childhood (yes, I'm that old - hehehe). I remember hearing this on the radio all the time back in the day.
As always, great job Sina.
Its always so great seeing Sina work her magic on the drums!!!!
Sina, You are fantastic as always!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks to you and your team for pumping out great videos week in week out... You are all so wondeful and much appreciated, thank you!!!
This Journey cover of yours also deserves 3 million views Sina. Don't know why it hasn't got the attention Don't Stop Believin' has received.
Just my opinion of course.
A Journey song which I did not know anymore. Thank you for bringing it out of the darkness again.
Just a great pleasure to listen to!
Excellent! Love the outro, Sina, hammering away on that kick drum! Always a fun song to play. Nice job, young lady! Rock on!🤘🤘🤘
David Quintanilla bassdrum
@@oldmaninthewoods1696 That kick drum and metal dish ... I just could not resist
Thank you, this song and you made me feel 19 again. Memories.
Sina, A great song and a great band you captured the drums perfectly as you always do. I never notice things like the grip but you do and i'm sure it's important all I know is your playing is spot on and I really enjoyed this track. I hope you enjoy your weekend. Well done thank you.
Great song great cover. Mostly crap band
Sina's drumming just seems to get so close to better than perfect with every drum cover. Sina is an inspiration to so many young lasses out there and especially in Japan, China, Russia, Poland, USA, UK, and, of course, Germany and many more countries. This is a great drum cover of Journey's Wheel in the Sky. I think Frank Brown's description of you as the "Princess of Drums" is spot on and it should be viewed as an EMPOWERING description. Continue with your musical JOURNEY.
Sina es Trommeln scheint mit jedem Drumcover so nah an besser zu werden, als perfekt zu sein. Sina ist eine Inspiration für so viele junge Brillen da draußen und vor allem in Japan, China, Russland, Polen, USA, Großbritannien und natürlich Deutschland und vielen anderen Ländern. Dies ist eine tolle Trommelhülle von Journey es Wheel in the Sky. Ich denke, Frank Browns Beschreibung von Ihnen als die "Prinzessin der Trommeln " ist genau richtig und sollte als EMPOWERING-Beschreibung angesehen werden. Fahren Sie mit Ihrem Musical JOURNEY fort.
She really gets into her drums.perfection is what she is
You give new life to all these marvelous classics. Thanks forever!
Excellent. Nice tribute to “The Voice”. As well as Steve (Machine Gun) Smith. My new favorite way to pass the time - Watching sina videos. You rock!
There's only two things. One is that this is a tribute to Aynsley Dunbar, not Steve "The Machine Gun" Smith. The second one is that Sina did it her way, not excatly how Aynsley Dunbar did during the recording session and all live performances as well😀
And now something about a good song for a tribute to Steve Smith: imho "Don't Stop Believin'" would be the best choice😊
One of my all time favorite songs-and you've absolutely NAILED IT!! Thank you SO MUCH for your amazing magical touch!
I like it a lot! You did that very well. Music, sound, appearance - everything fits together.
Sweet, journey cover, love journey. They have so many great songs. Separate ways, faithfully, anyway you want it, who's crying now. Great job Sina. I could listen to all the great journey songs with you on the drums.
Thank you very much again, Sina. This is another of the songs that I have always loved and you have made it perfect. You're the best in the world. ❤️
Perfect blouse for perfect song. Sina givin' me that 1970's vibe!
wow! Seit Jahren eins meiner Lieblingslieder und wie immer absolut perfekt umgesetzt! Einfach richtig toll!
Hi Sina I hope you read this. I found your videos a week ago and have been enjoying them all week. Love your style and confidence. I watched a lot from 2015 & 16 and I just saw a new one and your performance is great. Your posture is not. In 2015 you sat straight and your shoulders are back and your head is up. In 2020 this has begun to change. I have seen this before and it is hard to correct the longer it is ignored. PLEASE DON'T I hope to see you in concert some day at Soldiers Field or Wrigley Field in Chicago.
It's frustrating that I can only like this once. +1000, Sina!!
Wow girl ur awesome. Ur from another era. And that's awesome!!! Keep it up
New top, New split screen work, same wonderful magic. 😊 To quote you (in the Sina merchandise video), "I'm impressed!"
Sina I watched and listen to this about 10 or more times over and over during my work out and want to thank you again and you did awesome.
I don't care what anyone says I'm gonna play Sina in my car whenever I feel like it
I can't watch at work but im listening! I find that when I hear an original that i grew up with I find myself missing her fills!
Why would anyone care?
@@norsefury74 Til has 108 likes….We care……
I'll be in the next lane over, with my window down--Sina bladting! 😁
This is probably the most aggressive video I have seen Sina make. Her style is showing growth and more feeling in her art. This comes with time and emotional changes in one life I believe. I am sure that Sina will be one of, if not the dest drummer of all time one day.
Fantastic job Sina another great cover
Traditional grip, yaay you!! Steve is an incredible percussionist. Wonderful work Sina!
you did a super job on this, you always do great
You can just tell, she's having a good time.. you're fantastic Darlin.. keep it up ,you sure do have fun doing what you're doing.. you go girl!! have fun..lol. I listen to you and J.R all the time 24/7..
This make me feeling nostalgic and the years just passing by. Great job as always Sina ! Nice to see you use traditional grip again.
Growing up in the 70’s & 80’s Journey was one of my favourite bands. They are amazing musicians. Aynsley Dunbar is one of my favourite drummers. You obviously study the drummers you cover, but I really enjoy the way you embody his unique style and technique in this song. Have you listened to their first three albums? They’re more jazz-fusion oriented. Aynsley is really unleashed on those records.
Once again you set me back in my seat ...absolutely awesome!!!!!😉
As more than a few have stated already, it is wonderful to see youth of today play music that we grew up listening to in the 80's. Keep up the great work your doing and don't let anyone change you in any way!!!! Stay true to yourself.
Everytime I watch you play, I'm in awe. You are very gifted and a true representation for drummers everywhere! A Request, "Prince 1999 or Controversy , if you can. Thank you
Can't ever get enough of Journey. Great cover Sina.
I think Steve Smith would be very impressed with how well you did.
Yes, she does it using the traditional grip, just like Steve does
Aynsley Dunbar was the drummer on "Wheel in the Sky."
SINA DRUMS, YOU SINA AND YOUR SISTER MILENA JUST ABSOLUTELY MAKE MY DAY !!!!!!! BOTH OF YOU ARE SMART, TALENTED BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you just get better Sina, even Ringo star would be proud of you. X
Steve Smith, doesn’t get nearly enough credit as a one of the best drummers of our time. You nailed it.
Always being the Best drumer
Love from México 🇲🇽🇲🇽😍
This is amazing. A young lady nailing an old song. There is hope for music yet. As an aspiring amateur guitar player I know how many hours are beind these videos. We only see a few minutes of pure bliss, but believe me, there are thousands of hours of practice under her belt.
I don't think I've seen you use the traditional grip on the drumsticks. This is pretty incredible. Love it. Course I grew up with this music and I thank you very much for putting yourself out there for us.
I noticed this right off too. Maturing, testing, learning, excelling. Some day we can all say, "I knew her long before she became a star".
Not sure but Steve Smith of Journey plays this way. Maybe she's just staying true to the music.
@@vernhoke7730 Yes, she's staying true, but she's staying true to Aynsley Dunbar's using the traditional grip while drumming for Journey 😉
The music you play is my favorite...you are amazing in every post...thank you!
Talk about coincidence; I just watched a few of 'Journey's' videos last night (but not this one).
You did great work as always, even with the left-hand grip. Love how you very often wear a shirt befitting a theme.
Love many drummers most from years back, but Sina is the future... music is safe. Love the delicate performance, yet so powerful. Amazing to look at it too.
ohh, Journey, how I missed that....
but now, finally, I can admire it ...
very awesome cover, thank you Sina !!!
👍😎
btw. nice outfit ! 😉
I've seen a few of these covers and YOU are the first to do the 4 on the floor instead of 1/3. THANK YOU AWESOME COVER!!
God bless you! You nailed it...
Oooh boy, that brought back so many long lost memories ...
Thank you for that one!
