Girl's Got Groove indeed! Sina, Jimbo here! I absolutely love your tutorial on basic drumming. You take the voodoo out of it and make drumming seem simple. This video is a must for the beginner or the pro. Why, even your mom and dad and sis can do it. Maybe I’ll try it someday soon! Great job Sina on "Dear Life" on my new "Tigress" album on Frontiers. Rock steady. Jim Peterik of the Ides of March - formerly of Survivor and of 38 Special fame.
Thank you Mr. Peterik for inviting Sina to contribute to your new "Tigress" album. It is a great idea to showcase the young new talented artists out there. It is gratifying to see artists like you give back and inspire young talent that is out there.
Ahem, I’m seventy seven and I just started drumming and I gotta say this is far and away the best tutorial I’ve seen yet. More please dear girl. All the best to you and yours this 🎄 season 👏🌹🇦🇺✌️
This video's Classic Song Example No 3 is Eye Of The Tiger. It was a huge honor for me to be invited by Jim Peterik, the legendary composer of the song, to contribute to one track on his new album 'Tigress - Women Who Rock The World' open.spotify.com/track/3w2eKN90LqMlndmo9xFhfE?si=08d0e0ab73de4120
Thank you! My son is 14, Autistic, and has been playing drums (at home, he has an electric drum kit) we’re getting him professional lessons… I will make sure he watches your video!! 😍
Hi Sina, durch Dich und Deine Videos hat mein Sohn (3 Jahre) grosses Interesse an Musik und Schlagzeug spielen erlangt. Mittlerweile hat er zu Weihnachten sein 2. Kinderschlagzeug bekommen. Und wir müssen jeden ! Tag üben, seit mittlerweile 4 Monaten. Und heute haben wir die Lektion dieses Videos durchgekaut. Naja, es klappt mal schlechter, mal besser. Ist ja klar mit 3 Jahren. Aber Hauptsache der Spaß stimmt.... LG und mach bitte weiter so
YES!! More of this PLEASE!!! You have no idea how this little tutorial has helped me. I am a sound engineer that gets asked to "keep a beat" when the drummer in our band can't make practice. Now I can do more than just beat something in time. I already have the rhythm now I have the basics of technique. You are so awesome!!! Thank you so much!
You did the best job out of 100s of drummers of explaining the basics of the set and of the basic beats. It was really more educational and more clearly taught than anything or anyone I've seen yet. I think you have the makings of a really great teacher, besides playing great! Tremendous job, Sina and I think it's really terrific how you broke it down and took much of the mystery around playing beats. Bravo!!!
I look forward to reading comments a year from now from someone who started playing because of this video. Awesome job breaking it down to understandable terms for the budding enthusiast. 😊
I have always been a bit of a frustrated drummer. I played a 50 pound concert base drum in a Drum and Bugle Corps in High School and a bit of college. I am always drumming. I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Since I found you on RUclips I have enjoyed the videos you share! Thank you from Massachusetts, USA!
I'm 75 years old and have been keeping the beat with my hands since I was a kid. When I am listening to music and driving I use the string wheel as my kit...I have no idea what I am doing but I do feel the music...I loved this lesson...keep them coming...I have been watching your videos for a number of years and enjoy what you do... but passing your knowledge on to others would be a wonderful gift to all of us...THANK YOU...
Please add more of these. I'm a self taught drummer and have tried to teach this myself sitting on a couch with pillows. This was well thought through and more would be a benefit to a lot of aspiring drummers that need confidence.
Sina, you are as awesome at teaching as you are at drumming. I was amazed to see how you packed so much information into a 9 minute video, yet at the same time kept it simple enough for anyone to understand. I think you would do really well with these instructional type videos if you wish to do more of them in the future.
Sina: I really love you doing tutorials like these. It helps us neophites understand the logic behind the playing, and also break down for us more complicated grooves. You are indeed a very good teacher!
Amazing tutorial! You made it simpler than I ever could and I used to teach beginner drums! You’re a great teacher. Keep up the great work, and those great chops! 🤟
Well done Sina I started drumming by listening and playing along with popsongs. `i` started at the age of 15 and I'm getting 61 now and still drumming and playing in a band an love it. Come up with more tutorials and get people starting to play drums.
What fun it is learning about these basic building blocks of drumming. Completely fascinating! The individual components appear deceptively simple, but the way you combine them takes raw talent, genius, and discipline, resulting in the artistry you continually display. We may not not reach superhero drummer status, but we can now appreciate a little more what you have perfected to become one yourself. It's an added pleasure to be introduced to your obviously close and supportive family, though we've been entertained before by your sister's deadpan, dryly humorous expressions. Yes, by all means, more drum school sessions would be enthusiastically welcomed!
Thank you Sina! I am 65 years old, have been always thinking about playing drums since high school (I played trombone), but was always overwhelmed by the thought of having to coordinate hands & feet at the same time keeping in rhythm (I am very uncoordinated!). This short video has really encouraged me to give it a try as a new and fun hobby! Wish me luck!! 😃
Aloha fellow Baby Boomer 😉-I went to drum lessons with my then 7-year-old son (now 23) hoping to help keep him motivated. The teacher let me have a go and was so jazzed when I finally got the very same beat Sina’s teaching in this video. Seeing it and remembering the lovely feeling of “getting it” I’ve decided to start drumming. Howzit going for you? I bet you’re more coordinated than you think, what with playing trombone in high school, surely you were in marching band. Mahalo for your post and the encouragement it’s given me and Happy Hawaiian Hugz!🧡 🌋 💛 🤙🏽 ❤️ 🌺 💜
There is so much co-ordination involved it just amazes me! I will definitely never get into drumming at my age (79 yrs. old) but it gives me so much more understanding of what you go through to produce the fantastic sounds that you do! It's so amazing to see how you and your family all work so hard together to produce the amazing things that you do!!!
The hardest part of drumming is trying to control the contortions of your face while battling the concentration needed....and not looking like a raving lunatic! 😂
Hey Bob, I'm 70 yo. I started to take the plunge to play drums ( I knew I would be unable to play Guitar), in 1966. Took about 8 lessons or so, practiced a little each day on a pad, and then teamed up with HS buddies who were learning their instruments as well. After 3 years of plzying together after school in one of the guy's basements ( all the others including me lived in apartments), in 1969 [truly a GREAT YEAR], we moved on to Colleges, Military, etc. I always played Air Drums and always paid my atte tion to the drums in all songs. Then in 2018, nearing retirement, i told my wife of 44 years ( now 47 years),that I would like to Play Drums , probably at a local music studio , just to hit the Skins again. She went and got a Cheapo Gammon set for Xmas in 2018. At first, i was a little reluctant to get going. Then I did... Put them together, and started playing to My Music in the basement of our house, after 50 years. Lots of Rust, but that got shaken in a few sessions. So now, I play everyday for an hour or so, have a drink (bourbon, or glass of red wine, or a beer). I eventually upgraded my drum set (or kit as they call it now), anf gave the old one to my 4 year old grandson. Unfortunately, i am limited by spinal arthritic conditions and general all over chronic pain and stiffness in other joints, BUT the love of drumming perseveres. My Music consists CCR, Mellencamp, Petty, Stones, Beatles, Eagles, Cars, Talking Heads, Clapton, even Li da Ronstadt and Bonnie Rait. Be well.
My 24 yo niece was visiting us. She was enthralled with my electric drum set. I took her through the same process as your video and within about 15 minutes, she was playing the basis rock beat. Wish you could have seen her eyes light up!
Sina you have such natural way of communicating so even non drummers can understand! More of these types of videos would always be welcomed in my opinion! Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Stay safe!
Sina, I watch my husband play his drums and it has always amazed me. I always thought I lacked the coordination to play, but your basic tutorial put a whole new perspective on all those drums. Thank you so much! BTW, my husband's set is a 22 piece. ✌🏻
This is one of the best crash courses in drumming I've ever seen. Well done! I Love the way you included your family: your dad, (Joe Cool); your mother, (a woman of mystery); and not-so-little little sister. You're very fortunate to come from such a talented family. Your wonderful people for helping others to record their music and now to learn and instrument. We need more people like you in the world.
I have always enjoyed listening to the drums. My cousin taught me years ago, and for me, the drums are the best part of the band. I also enjoy your instructional videos, and your playing along with different songs. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing and hearing much more from you. Thx u sina. You are fantastic.
I don’t believe it.... but I have to...I just looked right at it !!! Sina, the force is strong with you; you made complete sense of a quest initially started in 1965 when in 6th grade, had to take band, and selected drums...I am now 68 and will purchase a snare, bass and pedal, and a high boy...BTW, I traded drummer for Football the next year...You have brought me back with enthusiasm...❤️
Sina.... I've been a teacher, trombonist conductor and band leader for 45+ years; I don't think I've heard the basics of drumming explained so simply and so well. You sound so authoritative and logical; must be your German blood!! Fantastic; I only wish I could have worked with you! XX
Hey Melina. This is the best part of Sina. Not only does she collaborate with lots of up and coming young talent but now she even teaches us noobs how to collaborate. Way to go Sina!
You have a huge heart and continually explore influences from an era of music that so many young people today have never been exposed to. I have a daughter your age (not a musician, but rather biochemist). When she was 10 she discovered my 60’s/70’s vinyl collection and simply asked “why am I just now learning of this?”. Your talent is amazing. It’s clearly driven by passion, while also attributed to a desire to continually improve, not to mention an amazing supporting cast. Not the least of which are your parents, I’m sure. In its simplest element, music is the study and understanding of mathematics. Your explanations in this video, without overwhelming details, are excellent for the intended audience. Well done! Keep learning. Keep improving. Keep teaching.
Now this is how a tutorial is supposed to be done. Ive searched countless RUclips vids and by far this has been the most informative 9 minutes…straight to the point and clearly defined. I would love to see more tutorials.
Hi Markie I have always loved the drums. I started with a snare drum my mom bought me. Eventually I got a used set of drums & basically sat down & tried to play with songs. My mom couldn't afford drum lessons for me so I did it my way. Over the years I decided to buy an electronic set of drums by Roland. They are much smaller than an acoustic set but they sound just as good. My biggest regret was never taking lessons. But to me I just love doing my own thing. I find it relaxing & fun. By the way I am 70. Do what ever makes YOU happy. Good luck.
Thank You, I am 63 and thinking about having my wife to get me a drum set for Christmas. I have always wanted to play but never have. Thanks for teaching a Old Dog. I really thank you for your video and teachings. Your Great. Thank You.
Really enjoyed that. It definitely would be good for non-musicians like me to understand how you do what you do. Helps the likes of me appreciate the music more.
Thanks for all you have posted. You inspired me to play in my mid 50's and all I do is play cover music. It is the most therapeutic period of every day for which I wake up looking forward to.
SINA DOERING, Lars Ulrich, Alex Van Halen, Charlie Watts, Phill Collins, Buddy Rich, Jeff Porcaro, Larry Mullen JR, Roger Taylor, John Farris...the best drummers in history ... THANK YOU SINA !!
Hi Sina. I'm a big fan of you, your drums and your music. For different reasons, so young and expert, so enthusiastic and playing the music of my life (I'm 63). Since 2014 I teach Revenue Management (managing prices for the hospitality and airlines industries), a complex speciality. I love the way you simplify the way of starting to play drums. First you make disappear the non essential tools (I love that "magic") and then you go step by step, the same I do in my 16 hours presential courses. But I forgot I had built my course and I was using this way until I saw your "tutorial". Thanks! As soon as I retire I'll buy my drums!
I love this deconstruction Sina, it certainly explains why I tap my foot when I do and why I get it all wrong when attempting 'air drums'. Very educational thank you.
From someone who does not play any instruments, I find Sina is a remarkable teacher. There was a light-bulb moment near the end when you started to do variations to the beat that made everything fall into place. Thank you for the video.
Very good drumming lesson ! Everything is clearly explained. Excellent teacher ! I'll try to play it (even without drums) and please show us more when you have time to do so.
Great lesson! I'm a 69 year old lifelong woodwind player wanting to learn drums and I think I found my teacher! I really like your style, concise and clear, very good. Thanks!
WOW! I am 63 years old, and have been listening to (and playing) rock for over 50 years. I learned about drumming in the 8th grade, but I think I learned more in this 9 minute video about drumming than I ever did in my music class. Danke!
Congratulations Mrs Döring on making your debut on Sina's Channel! Now we see where Sina's charming looks come from. This was a brilliant idea Sina and Dad on both showing us how to play the basics of many rock and pop songs, but it also showed that this channel is indeed very much a FAMILY AFFAIR. From Miss Milena to Dad and to Mom and then back to you, your family supports your work here. This is what a family does when something comes up. We Patrons, Members, and Subscribers to this channel also fully support you and will ALWAYS be with you 100%, no matter what course this channel takes. As for asking if would like to see more of these types of video's going forward, I'm 99.9% sure the answer to your question is a resounding YES, PLEASE!! We love hearing you talk about how you play your favorite instrument! (and we love the humor and deadpan's you and Dad toss in these). They help us show your wonderful personalities! With Love and God Bless!
A great tool for beginner drummers is something like the Yamaha DD-65 which has built in song libraries in about every genre. It also lets you have varying amounts of the drums playing along so you can play the basics and disable them completely when ready. Also great for practicing with headphones. It only took me about 1/2 song to get the timing/distance/feel when using an acoustic set.
Absolutely loved this! I'm not a drummer but I love music, this really helped me understand the basics of drumming much better. Awesome to see the whole family involved too! You're the best Sina, thanks for all the amazing videos and music!
Hey Sina! Love your teaching method! I'm a drummer myself of 35 years of drumming! Some drummers love to show there skills and Gospel chops! But I like the fact you're solid and play it simple. Sometimes it's good to keep it simple and go back to the basics! Much respect!🙌🥁🎵
Loved that you roped the rest of your family in - well done to them!. Having almost no sense of rhythm or coordination I'm slowly coming around to the idea that maybe I could do this. More please!
I’m a drummer for many yrs , wish RUclips was around then , and you , good job watched many of your videos and you rock girl , I’ve often wondered,…. You must be playing in a band , and if not get out there the world needs talent like you out there Thank you … love from Canada 🇨🇦
So glad you did this!! You made it simple and easy to understand! Not only are you a super classy professional drummer…..you can add teaching to your vast talent. Glad you mentioned left handers!! I’m left handed but learned on right-handed kit. This day I drum right handed. Your teaching video was perfect. Instrumental teachers will love this tutorial!! You continue to impress me as a person and musician!!! …….” Look…even my sister, Dad, and Mom can do it”!! Excellent! I think your Dad can handle most instruments!!! Thanks!!
This such a kind lesson of yours to share with those who are really thinking about learning to play the drums..Thank you Sina. A selfless move and your gift of sharing. Thanks! Doug
Yeah Sina...Keep it simple like this...I'm a bassplayer and I really wanna get the drummer to keep it tight like you'r doing...Youe tutorials are awsome, I especially liked the one when you explained how Ringo played in The Beatles, loved it... and, Deep Purple songs explained is also very welcomed. Big thanks Sina!!!
Nice! You posted this on my Mom's birthday, who once announced a year before she passed: "I guess we should have gotten you a drum set when you were young." I never knew she was aware how much I loved drums. As a girl in the '60's, there weren't many role models for rock drummers and I never mentioned it to her. At 69 I've been trying to learn a bit at a time on a few little drums gifted to me by a friend. I have a long way to go. I'm much better on tambourines, but I'll keep trying! Thanks, Sina.
Thanks Sina. This is a great idea for your community to enjoy. I think it best I i just watch you play rather than try to learn. When I watch Jeff Beck play, I think I should throw my guitars away and if I get a kit and watch you I might feel the same way 😂. Thanks again for the video and the smiles they bring us all.
Love this, I believe that this is the first "grove" that everyone learns. You taught this perfectly and probably have inspired thousands of people to give drums a go. Thank you for all you do...and it was nice to see your family also.
Love your Sis, she always puts her whole heart in all your demos, your dad well, "too cool for school." your Mom, on the other hand, put her entire self into it. And if your Mom can, I know I can do too.
Fascinating - I'm far too old to start drumming (to my family's immense relief) - but seeing how you analyse music feels oddly familiar. (I'm an engineer - I look at a circuit diagram or a piece of code and need to know how it works...) You may find there are two audiences - people who want understand the theory, and then actual drummers (who need additional practical details - how to set up the kit to be comfortable for example, or how not to get injured or deafened). Great to see all your family. (And to Mum - your privacy is your business and no-one else's. Please carry on supporting Sina - and appear on screen if and when it feels right to you.) Have fun as Christmas gets closer!
I got myself an electronic drumkit at the age of 53 - it has a volume control. I am well aware, that I will never play in a band and I will never be as good as Sina; but that´s beside the point: It has been my life long dream and it is SO much fun, just playing along to my favourite songs, even if I cannot get all the parts exactly right and I am off-beat occasionally. Good Sir, I don´t now, HOW old you are, but you certainly are not TOO old to try something new and to enjoy it. All the best for you xxx
Just Me , or was that a loaded question? Of course We all want more instruction from Sina. I'm no engineer, but understand a sliver of what U know(did). By the same token, We enjoy a bit of what goes on BTS of music. Maybe someday Papa Mike can dissect what it takes to develop a great vid.
Sina, great video and broke down to simple easy to understand. I taught myself to play doing the same system. I listened to Ringo, Ginger Baker, Charley Watts, Mitch Mitchell, and John Bonham while on a kit and tried to do what they did. Great video and great job 👍❤️⭐😁
Great instructional video simple and informative good to meet the whole family definitely show more videos and a note I had a friend who was a pit drummer in Vaudeville in the 1930s where the low boy was actually called the sock hat keep up the great work and as always cheers
Yes - Please add more beginner videos like this. My daughter (12) has just started playing... I am going to share your videos with her -- I know she will love them and will learn a lot from you. Thank you so much!
Wow this was amazing Sina thank you! For the first time in a month I finally get lol & I’ve watched other drum teachings & you just made it so simple WOW YOU ROCK!!!💯🥁😎👍🏼
As a drummer myself, I really appreciate you as a fellow drummer. I have not played on a set for years, but I do use anything as a substitute now a days and I mean anything.
Excellent instructional video. I'm not quite the drummer that you are, but when I've taught people the basics of playing drums over the years, this was pretty much how I taught it.
This is great! So many drummers get distracted by the extra stuff, fills on the toms and crashes and so on, and may then lose the one, and you have pointed out what is most important and done it so well. I love the "coordination exercises" off kit, pulling away everything but the kick, snare, and hi hat for teaching purposes and practice, too, and focusing on the one (As Ginger Baker famously advised -- "You must always know where the one is."). Love this and all your videos. So helpful and enjoyable. Thank you!
Perfect lesson Sina! I've been following all your drum covers and you're the best. You help me to play drums better! Would love to see more of your teaching on drums! Thank you! Danke!! :-)
As a music college student and a drummer for like 6,5 years now, I wish this video was up back in the day when I was getting started, great and really educational content Sina! Greetings from Brazil!!
Thank you for this video tutorial. I’ve been consuming many, many videos on youtube on drumming being that I’m very interested in beginning. I came across this video and appreciated how you simplified the concepts of basic drumming beats and grooves. Thank you for that and I have now become a fan of yours after watching how you play the drums so brilliantly. Take care and best wishes for your future.
43 years old, bought my first drum set tonight for $50 off marketplace. Been wanting to play drums since I was a little kid. You give me hope and inspiration! Going to watch this video and practice, practice practice. Thank you!
Wondeful little intro to drumming. My love is actually the keyboard that only relatively recently have I had time and space to devote to it. However for some time, I've considered the drums along with the piano (of course) and the guitar as the essential instruments to learn. The drums primarily due to its strong link to time and rhythm in music. I've been thinking about picking up a pad and some sticks to practice however your video shows I really don't even need those things. In any case, thanks for the video.
Girl's Got Groove indeed! Sina, Jimbo here! I absolutely love your tutorial on basic drumming. You take the voodoo out of it and make drumming seem simple. This video is a must for the beginner or the pro. Why, even your mom and dad and sis can do it. Maybe I’ll try it someday soon! Great job Sina on "Dear Life" on my new "Tigress" album on Frontiers.

wow Sina this is amazing what a awesome message
"Thank You" Mr. Peterik for the extraordinarily wonderful comment on Sina’s YT channel. Congratulations Sina!!
@@gregyancoskie5664 😎
What i really like about SIna....no modelling, no fishing for subscribers....just real good musicianship. Always entertaining to watch.
exactly
The word I'd prefer to use is "professional".
Not to mention she's very young but she has wonderful taste i.e. she appreciates the classics
She looks better than any model I see on youtube.. Plus she's damn helpful. Thank you Sina
Totally agree 🤗
Ahem, I’m seventy seven and I just started drumming and I gotta say this is far and away the best tutorial I’ve seen yet. More please dear girl. All the best to you and yours this 🎄 season 👏🌹🇦🇺✌️
Go for it, Markie! I'm sixty-three and thinking seriously about trying the drums. You're never too old!
Hope drumming is going well! I’m only sixteen but I’ve also just started drumming. You are never to old to start something new go for it!!
That's inspirational. Cheers
42 and I've just started 👍

Put them together, and started playing to My Music in the basement of our house, after 50 years. Lots of Rust, but that got shaken in a few sessions. So now, I play everyday for an hour or so, have a drink (bourbon, or glass of red wine, or a beer). I eventually upgraded my drum set (or kit as they call it now), anf gave the old one to my 4 year old grandson. Unfortunately, i am limited by spinal arthritic conditions and general all over chronic pain and stiffness in other joints, BUT the love of drumming perseveres. My Music consists CCR, Mellencamp, Petty, Stones, Beatles, Eagles, Cars, Talking Heads, Clapton, even Li da Ronstadt and Bonnie Rait. Be well.
@@danosverige Nah, given up on that. Also, sunglasses 😎
@@freddoflintstono9321 👍 lol
My 24 yo niece was visiting us. She was enthralled with my electric drum set.
I took her through the same process as your video and within about 15 minutes, she was playing the basis rock beat.
Wish you could have seen her eyes light up!
Sina you have such natural way of communicating so even non drummers can understand! More of these types of videos would always be welcomed in my opinion! Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Stay safe!
Sina, I watch my husband play his drums and it has always amazed me. I always thought I lacked the coordination to play, but your basic tutorial put a whole new perspective on all those drums. Thank you so much! BTW, my husband's set is a 22 piece. ✌🏻
You just have to love this young lady. She is so talented. And her family is cool too! Keep it up.
I have played drums since 1967. She is absolutely the best female drummer I have ever heard! Keep on rockin' Sina!
This is one of the best crash courses in drumming I've ever seen. Well done! I Love the way you included your family: your dad, (Joe Cool); your mother, (a woman of mystery); and not-so-little little sister. You're very fortunate to come from such a talented family. Your wonderful people for helping others to record their music and now to learn and instrument. We need more people like you in the world.
It's all in the hair
Thank you for this! Ive taken up drumming after watching a few of your videos.
I have always enjoyed listening to the drums. My cousin taught me years ago, and for me, the drums are the best part of the band. I also enjoy your instructional videos, and your playing along with different songs. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing and hearing much more from you. Thx u sina. You are fantastic.
I’ve been watching you evolve as a drummer ever since you started posting. Bravo Sina
I don’t believe it.... but I have to...I just looked right at it !!! Sina, the force is strong with you; you made complete sense of a quest initially started in 1965 when in 6th grade, had to take band, and selected drums...I am now 68 and will purchase a snare, bass and pedal, and a high boy...BTW, I traded drummer for Football the next year...You have brought me back with enthusiasm...❤️
Absolutely want to see more!!! ❣
Sina.... I've been a teacher, trombonist conductor and band leader for 45+ years; I don't think I've heard the basics of drumming explained so simply and so well. You sound so authoritative and logical; must be your German blood!! Fantastic; I only wish I could have worked with you! XX
Hey Melina. This is the best part of Sina. Not only does she collaborate with lots of up and coming young talent but now she even teaches us noobs how to collaborate. Way to go Sina!
*Sina* great to see you left the cowbell to the expert! 👍 You have yourself an awesome weekend!
You have a huge heart and continually explore influences from an era of music that so many young people today have never been exposed to. I have a daughter your age (not a musician, but rather biochemist). When she was 10 she discovered my 60’s/70’s vinyl collection and simply asked “why am I just now learning of this?”. Your talent is amazing. It’s clearly driven by passion, while also attributed to a desire to continually improve, not to mention an amazing supporting cast. Not the least of which are your parents, I’m sure.
In its simplest element, music is the study and understanding of mathematics. Your explanations in this video, without overwhelming details, are excellent for the intended audience. Well done!
Keep learning. Keep improving. Keep teaching.
You have a cool Dad, Sina, a Mum too and not forget your sister. Thanks for the tutorial, so good!
Absolutely we would very much appreciate to see more drum lessons for beginners. Thank you very much for taking the time Sia.
Kaum aus dem Kurzurlaub gekommen, gleich als erstes das Video angeschaut , so genial, fantastisch. Einfach wunderbar, werde es gleich nochmal schauen.
Now this is how a tutorial is supposed to be done. Ive searched countless RUclips vids and by far this has been the most informative 9 minutes…straight to the point and clearly defined. I would love to see more tutorials.
Watching you play the drums is soooooooo therapeutic!!! Thank you!🤗👍💖
Hi Markie I have always loved the drums. I started with a snare drum my mom bought me. Eventually I got a used set of drums & basically sat down & tried to play with songs. My mom couldn't afford drum lessons for me so I did it my way. Over the years I decided to buy an electronic set of drums by Roland. They are much smaller than an acoustic set but they sound just as good. My biggest regret was never taking lessons. But to me I just love doing my own thing. I find it relaxing & fun. By the way I am 70. Do what ever makes YOU happy. Good luck.
I really appreciate this tutorial, Sina. I have no aspirations to be a drummer, but I appreciate learning more.
Same here. They are fascinating to watch in a band. The drummer seems to be having the most fun.
Best beginner lesson ever! I'm using this tomorrow to teach my kids.
GreatShow in 4/4 … Sina and Mike, this is a really great video !!
Thank You, I am 63 and thinking about having my wife to get me a drum set for Christmas. I have always wanted to play but never have. Thanks for teaching a Old Dog. I really thank you for your video and teachings. Your Great.
Thank You.
Really enjoyed that. It definitely would be good for non-musicians like me to understand how you do what you do. Helps the likes of me appreciate the music more.
Thanks for all you have posted. You inspired me to play in my mid 50's and all I do is play cover music. It is the most therapeutic period of every day for which I wake up looking forward to.
Dear Sina, you are a role model for millions of youngsters. You are simple and grounded. Keep up the good work! May God bless you abundantly!
Quite agree,sir
Behold the key to breaking the secret code of drumming!
YES! More tutorials, please!
SINA DOERING, Lars Ulrich, Alex Van Halen, Charlie Watts, Phill Collins, Buddy Rich, Jeff Porcaro, Larry Mullen JR, Roger Taylor, John Farris...the best drummers in history ... THANK YOU SINA !!
Lol, no Neal Peart (Rush) or Cozy Powell (Rainbow) or Terry Williams (Dire Straits)?
@@danosverige No Kieth Moon?
@@Dan-ni7sq - Not someone I've listened to extensively TBH, so Have no real input for him.
@@danosverige Sina would miss the greatest of all times - Animal!
Or Ian Paice?
Hi Sina. I'm a big fan of you, your drums and your music. For different reasons, so young and expert, so enthusiastic and playing the music of my life (I'm 63). Since 2014 I teach Revenue Management (managing prices for the hospitality and airlines industries), a complex speciality. I love the way you simplify the way of starting to play drums. First you make disappear the non essential tools (I love that "magic") and then you go step by step, the same I do in my 16 hours presential courses. But I forgot I had built my course and I was using this way until I saw your "tutorial". Thanks! As soon as I retire I'll buy my drums!
I love this deconstruction Sina, it certainly explains why I tap my foot when I do and why I get it all wrong when attempting 'air drums'. Very educational thank you.
From someone who does not play any instruments, I find Sina is a remarkable teacher. There was a light-bulb moment near the end when you started to do variations to the beat that made everything fall into place. Thank you for the video.
Very good drumming lesson ! Everything is clearly explained. Excellent teacher ! I'll try to play it (even without drums) and please show us more when you have time to do so.
My 1st drum kit was a pair of drum sticks and the cushions of my parents sofa... usually when they were out somewhere! 😆
Great lesson! I'm a 69 year old lifelong woodwind player wanting to learn drums and I think I found my teacher! I really like your style, concise and clear, very good. Thanks!
Hi Sina! I like when you do videos like this. So personable and informative. Thank you Sina. I hope all is well with you.
WOW! I am 63 years old, and have been listening to (and playing) rock for over 50 years. I learned about drumming in the 8th grade, but I think I learned more in this 9 minute video about drumming than I ever did in my music class. Danke!
Congratulations Mrs Döring on making your debut on Sina's Channel! Now we see where Sina's charming looks come from. This was a brilliant idea Sina and Dad on both showing us how to play the basics of many rock and pop songs, but it also showed that this channel is indeed very much a FAMILY AFFAIR. From Miss Milena to Dad and to Mom and then back to you, your family supports your work here. This is what a family does when something comes up. We Patrons, Members, and Subscribers to this channel also fully support you and will ALWAYS be with you 100%, no matter what course this channel takes.
As for asking if would like to see more of these types of video's going forward, I'm 99.9% sure the answer to your question is a resounding YES, PLEASE!! We love hearing you talk about how you play your favorite instrument! (and we love the humor and deadpan's you and Dad toss in these). They help us show your wonderful personalities! With Love and God Bless!
Wish I could give 2 thumbs up. You've said it best.
Seems to me that Sina's mom was a little camera shy. Lol. Cool to see the support of the family. Another great video!🥁🥁🥁
A great tool for beginner drummers is something like the Yamaha DD-65 which has built in song libraries in about every genre. It also lets you have varying amounts of the drums playing along so you can play the basics and disable them completely when ready. Also great for practicing with headphones. It only took me about 1/2 song to get the timing/distance/feel when using an acoustic set.
Absolutely loved this! I'm not a drummer but I love music, this really helped me understand the basics of drumming much better. Awesome to see the whole family involved too! You're the best Sina, thanks for all the amazing videos and music!
Hey Sina! Love your teaching method! I'm a drummer myself of 35 years of drumming! Some drummers love to show there skills and Gospel chops! But I like the fact you're solid and play it simple. Sometimes it's good to keep it simple and go back to the basics! Much respect!🙌🥁🎵
Loved that you roped the rest of your family in - well done to them!. Having almost no sense of rhythm or coordination I'm slowly coming around to the idea that maybe I could do this. More please!
I’m a drummer for many yrs , wish RUclips was around then , and you , good job watched many of your videos and you rock girl , I’ve often wondered,…. You must be playing in a band , and if not get out there the world needs talent like you out there
Thank you … love from Canada 🇨🇦
So glad you did this!! You made it simple and easy to understand! Not only are you a super classy professional drummer…..you can add teaching to your vast talent. Glad you mentioned left handers!! I’m left handed but learned on right-handed kit. This day I drum right handed. Your teaching video was perfect. Instrumental teachers will love this tutorial!! You continue to impress me as a person and musician!!! …….” Look…even my sister, Dad, and Mom can do it”!! Excellent! I think your Dad can handle most instruments!!! Thanks!!
This such a kind lesson of yours to share with those who are really thinking about learning to play the drums..Thank you Sina. A selfless move and your gift of sharing. Thanks! Doug
Yeah Sina...Keep it simple like this...I'm a bassplayer and I really wanna get the drummer to keep it tight like you'r doing...Youe tutorials are awsome, I especially liked the one when you explained how Ringo played in The Beatles, loved it... and, Deep Purple songs explained is also very welcomed. Big thanks Sina!!!
I've been playing drums for over 25 years and never knew why it was called the "hi" hat. That knowledge alone was worth the thumbs up!
Excellent lesson! Someday I'll get me a drum kit!
Nice! You posted this on my Mom's birthday, who once announced a year before she passed: "I guess we should have gotten you a drum set when you were young." I never knew she was aware how much I loved drums. As a girl in the '60's, there weren't many role models for rock drummers and I never mentioned it to her. At 69 I've been trying to learn a bit at a time on a few little drums gifted to me by a friend. I have a long way to go. I'm much better on tambourines, but I'll keep trying! Thanks, Sina.
Thanks Sina. This is a great idea for your community to enjoy. I think it best I i just watch you play rather than try to learn. When I watch Jeff Beck play, I think I should throw my guitars away and if I get a kit and watch you I might feel the same way 😂. Thanks again for the video and the smiles they bring us all.
Hi again sina again my ham call letters is kd8wtt in michigan if your friends have a ham radio am on tlhe 14mhz band thank you afreedazane bill
Trillions of drummers in the planet! but only you take bit of your time to share the knowledge in basics druming! TY Sina
You are a good teacher and an AMAZING drummer. More tutorials would be wonderful. I am one week into my journey.
Thx Sina! What I've been waiting 50 years to learn!
It was an interesting instructional video. You would be a good teacher. I would love to see more such videos. Take care and stay safe!
Love this, I believe that this is the first "grove" that everyone learns. You taught this perfectly and probably have inspired thousands of people to give drums a go. Thank you for all you do...and it was nice to see your family also.
Thank you Sina.....super. Please more lessons like this. You are amazing. Thank you so much.
Love your Sis, she always puts her whole heart in all your demos, your dad well, "too cool for school." your Mom, on the other hand, put her entire self into it. And if your Mom can, I know I can do too.
Fascinating - I'm far too old to start drumming (to my family's immense relief) - but seeing how you analyse music feels oddly familiar. (I'm an engineer - I look at a circuit diagram or a piece of code and need to know how it works...)
You may find there are two audiences - people who want understand the theory, and then actual drummers (who need additional practical details - how to set up the kit to be comfortable for example, or how not to get injured or deafened).
Great to see all your family. (And to Mum - your privacy is your business and no-one else's. Please carry on supporting Sina - and appear on screen if and when it feels right to you.) Have fun as Christmas gets closer!
Never too old to start something you really love! 😉
I got myself an electronic drumkit at the age of 53 - it has a volume control. I am well aware, that I will never play in a band and I will never be as good as Sina; but that´s beside the point: It has been my life long dream and it is SO much fun, just playing along to my favourite songs, even if I cannot get all the parts exactly right and I am off-beat occasionally. Good Sir, I don´t now, HOW old you are, but you certainly are not TOO old to try something new and to enjoy it. All the best for you xxx
Just Me , or was that a loaded question? Of course We all want more instruction from Sina. I'm no engineer, but understand a sliver of what U know(did). By the same token, We enjoy a bit of what goes on BTS of music. Maybe someday Papa Mike can dissect what it takes to develop a great vid.
You're never too old to learn I took up the drums at 72yo, still working at it.
Sina, great video and broke down to simple easy to understand. I taught myself to play doing the same system. I listened to Ringo, Ginger Baker, Charley Watts, Mitch Mitchell, and John Bonham while on a kit and tried to do what they did. Great video and great job 👍❤️⭐😁
Great instructional video simple and informative good to meet the whole family definitely show more videos and a note I had a friend who was a pit drummer in Vaudeville in the 1930s where the low boy was actually called the sock hat keep up the great work and as always cheers
Yes - Please add more beginner videos like this. My daughter (12) has just started playing... I am going to share your videos with her -- I know she will love them and will learn a lot from you. Thank you so much!
Wow this was amazing Sina thank you! For the first time in a month I finally get lol & I’ve watched other drum teachings & you just made it so simple WOW YOU ROCK!!!💯🥁😎👍🏼
As a drummer myself, I really appreciate you as a fellow drummer. I have not played on a set for years, but I do use anything as a substitute now a days and I mean anything.
enjoyed watching, definitely do more :)
Excellent instructional video. I'm not quite the drummer that you are, but when I've taught people the basics of playing drums over the years, this was pretty much how I taught it.
You have probably just inspired 1000's of future drummers with this simple tutorial. Well done.
thank you for the lesson.
More tutorials please and thanks. I really enjoyed this one especially when you showed how to play the notes without a drum set
Absolutely the best basic drumming tutorial out there thank you
Great lesson. You could easily make a series out of this.
why would she need a series, if you can learn in 10 minutes????
@@tj-kv6vr, mostly because you can learn one thing in 10 minutes, but there are typically 1000 things to learn to become an expert or a master 🙂.
This is great! So many drummers get distracted by the extra stuff, fills on the toms and crashes and so on, and may then lose the one, and you have pointed out what is most important and done it so well. I love the "coordination exercises" off kit, pulling away everything but the kick, snare, and hi hat for teaching purposes and practice, too, and focusing on the one (As Ginger Baker famously advised -- "You must always know where the one is."). Love this and all your videos. So helpful and enjoyable. Thank you!
Perfect lesson Sina! I've been following all your drum covers and you're the best. You help me to play drums better! Would love to see more of your teaching on drums! Thank you! Danke!! :-)
I was supposed to send my kids for learning drums... This seems like the best of best I've seen yet in youtube
Definitely more tutorials plllleaseeee! Loved it.
As a music college student and a drummer for like 6,5 years now, I wish this video was up back in the day when I was getting started, great and really educational content Sina! Greetings from Brazil!!
Thank you, Sina. Very inspiring. More please!! 👍
Thank you for this video tutorial. I’ve been consuming many, many videos on youtube on drumming being that I’m very interested in beginning. I came across this video and appreciated how you simplified the concepts of basic drumming beats and grooves. Thank you for that and I have now become a fan of yours after watching how you play the drums so brilliantly. Take care and best wishes for your future.
43 years old, bought my first drum set tonight for $50 off marketplace. Been wanting to play drums since I was a little kid. You give me hope and inspiration! Going to watch this video and practice, practice practice. Thank you!
Bravo Jeremy ENJOY THAT SATISFACTION OF THE GIFT OF MUSIC!
Wondeful little intro to drumming. My love is actually the keyboard that only relatively recently have I had time and space to devote to it. However for some time, I've considered the drums along with the piano (of course) and the guitar as the essential instruments to learn. The drums primarily due to its strong link to time and rhythm in music. I've been thinking about picking up a pad and some sticks to practice however your video shows I really don't even need those things. In any case, thanks for the video.
