I'm a 63 year old lady and just bought my first practice pad and sticks. You are so inspirational. Been a piano player so here's to a new instrument. Cheers
I love how she wastes zero energy in her movements...it looks like she is moving really slow but she flies around the kit in precise bursts that surprise me and make me smile.
@PaPa Frampton been a drummer for over well over 20 years now and have years of studio experience recording. She accents very few notes, it's all very uniform... I can see the sound wave in front of my inner eye and the transients look very uniform. Which isn't bad, but Travis Barker does way more than just play hard and fast ... ruclips.net/video/JtlW-IPztlY/видео.html just compare the dynamics
Dorothea is my inspiration. Because of her, I a 53 year old woman picked up drumming. For the last year, I have been taking lessons weekly, and I have my own kit I play almost daily! Love her so much!
Her playing down with the sickness is one of the main reasons i am now a member. That and domino's learn to play drums in 10 min. That one is no joke. I was playing drums in ten minutes. Yeah it might be only the money beat but if that is what it takes to get you hooked so be it. She did her job.. She injected the confidence into me to start taking it srious and wanting to learn more.Tons of videons on yt...do this in 5 min or learn this in 10. Most of which are junk. But not her video. And her enthusiasm is...infectious grooves. That is a band btw. I have my own kit now as well but its electronic. I am 52 and have been drumming for 2 weeks.
@@MatiasGeraldoThe2nd she doesn't look bad. She looks like any professional drummer when they are recording, not putting on a show. Delivering a perfect and precise drum track. If you think that pros play in the studio like they play live... Well... Hate to burst your bubble but It's certainly not the way to achieve the best performance from a musical standpoint. Plus It really fits what she wants to convey. She's not here to show off, she's here to show that anybody can reach a decent level and that appearance and presentation are not required to sound good.
Her face looks like she wants to file a noise complaint on herself while she plays lol. I love this lady, she’s such a badass!! She blows my mind every time I come across her vids, especially her cover of down with the sickness
Down With The Sickness was fracken Sick! Dorothea can play the skins better than any, The kit on this track sounded funny though, not sure I am mostly tone def.
When I was about 12, I used to take lessons from this awesome drummer! She took me to a drum demo to see Tony Royster Jr. At a music store called McFaddens in myrtle Beach SC. It was the single most inspirational thing to happen within my life of drumming. I'm 34 now and still feel the same passion! Thanks Dorothea for helping to light that fire in me. 😊
The first video I seen of Tony Roster Jr when he was 12 almost made me put my sticks away. I couldn’t imagine having talent like that so young and I’m glad all 4 of us have kept with it. I wish my family could have afforded a teacher and while I don’t have the talent I wish I did I still enjoy the hell out of it. Passion can overcome a lot.
@@aatas187 that's true man. He blew me away seeing him on that crazy huge set. And he used to have the kit on this big rack where the throne was also connected and he was almost leaning back and playing at the same time. First time I ever saw that. Then Joey jordison would take it to the next level years later . Glad to hear it. That passion will be there for as long as we live. 🤘
@@codysanders3949 Great to hear that. Keep at it. With practice, there's nothing you can't master on the drums including, of course, your bass drum work. Drum on.
@@NowBased unfortunately, I had hand surgery today. Then will need on other. Having played drums, timbales, vibraphone (4 mallets) and congas, lessons all all, my hobbies are stripped. It is a great hobby. Thank you for encouraging words however. Keep playing until you can’t
Dorothea Taylor is such a pro. As a bass player, there is "economy in motion" which is to use minimal movement for maximum results and Dorothea is a master of that. She is such a solid, pro drummer.
If you watch the “down with the sickness” video, I think the quick snare roll she pulls at 2:00 in that video is a good display of what you’re saying. Her elbows and forearms don’t even seem to move.
Most guys would power through the simplicity of this particular song, but Miss Taylor literally played it so precise you can learn the whole song within 10 mins
Is that the one a few measure back, the clockwise roll that she does some crazy genius time change in between each tom and slows it down? hold on... at 2:07... gotta be, that caught my eye too!
I would like to say this lady really rocks. She is an inspiration to all of us older women drum players. I am 55 and just started about 4 years ago. In between some surgeries I've had I Learned by watching RUclips videos. Let's give it up for the rockin grandma's out there!!!
No time like the present! I’m a young 60 year old and just published two new metal songs in the past couple months. I gave up playing live in bands a few years ago and do it all myself now. I hope you rock again 🤘
I absolutely love this. She is inspiring. Today I kept telling myself I’m getting too old to keep playing music and then I see this. All I can say is thank you. This means so much!
Very smooth. Just started a few years ago, I'm 53, and struggle with finding the time, energy and recovery to practice as much as I want. Will never be as good as this. She's awesome. Great kit.
For me the motivation to practice came from a friend who plays the guitar asking me to jam with him. He chose a very complicated song that I absolutely LOVE. I can't stop practicing.
@@AmberMaloneAZMy practice time comes after the work day and I work on my feet with my hands. Pretty much everything above the waist is sore by that time. I do find that some days I have more energy and desire and have adjusted to just enjoying being able to do what I can and accept the slow progress and little victories. Was able to finally copy the Fool In the Rain shuffle this past year. May I ask what song you are learning to play with your friend?
I was sitting here about to cry because work was terrible tonight. Now I’m crying because she is so awesome. I wish when im her age I will have something to be so proud of. She just turned my night around. Love her!
This was absolutely awesome!!! I just finished listening to Enema of the State at the gym and now on the treadmill this popped up in my RUclips feed. Travis always uses rudiments. That’s why he is so underrated. He is such a solid drummer with a unique perspective on punk.
Three things I’ve noticed: This is pretty much how Travis plays it. You can say he hits the drums harder, but he’s always a little behind the beat and she shows off his technical abilities. Everything is played damn near perfect, no slop and no second guessing. Fantastic, extremely confident. Lastly, dude, her boots. Most guys wear low tops or drumming shoes and she’s making it sound spot on in boots.
Wouldn't be much of a battle. Travis is one of the best drummers or his era and still going strong. Its not just speed but his fundamentals are absolutely solid. With that, Dorothea transcends all generations and would win hands down!
@@kckillakrack9714 Scott?? Why is he better? Because of his speed? You should check Travis' first punk band. I like Scott tbh, but he's not that unique or better.
Lady, you keep me going, I been at this for 32 years and it’s getting harder to find my inspiration.. you’re technique is flawless and you are Rad! - Seraphina Evelyn
Man EPIC!!! Your grandkids must be proud of their grandmother!!! She makes me feel like a rookie on drums and I been playing since I was 12 now 44 lmao!!!
Outstanding work and message. I played the electronic organ back in the mid 80s for a few years and had not played anything since then. I had subscribed to this channel a few months ago and this had inspired me to buy a Yamaha DTX set and I had started to play recently. Luckily for me, those brief few years of electonic organ had provided some basic skills to play the drums. It is never too late to start drumming.
this video made my heart sing. Dorothea was fantastic in her last Drumeo appearance but as a guy who grew up obsessed with blink and trying to be Travis Barker when i was little, watching her play this particular song really struck a chord with me. get her on here more often!!
Been a singer guitarist since I was 13. Now 33 I've started learning drums after needlessly believing I couldn't for 20 years. Behind the kit is my happy place, as I'm sure it is for millions of others.
I've been a drummer since I was 4, I'm in my 30s now, I practice here and there, but sure miss my music days. Your a great inspiration Dorothea! Rock on! 🔥👍😎
This was so awesome. I was feeling old and depressed at 27, but this amazing drummer is making me think differently about age. Maybe I can start playing drums again someday.
You are truly a inspiration all my life I wanted to be a drummer and I have CP in both my legs so I shock a lot of peapel as well wen they see I can play keep it up yore amazing
Ma'am, you are awesome! I just came across your videos and I can't get enough. I started playing at 7 and have played almost every day since. Even when I was deployed and had no access to drums I always had sticks with me and banged on anything I could! I will be 59 in July and you are a true inspiration to me! Thank you

Good luck with it. I’m 17 and have been playing a little less than 2 years. We may be different but music unites us. 🤘😃
Welcome to the drumming world!!
I love how she wastes zero energy in her movements...it looks like she is moving really slow but she flies around the kit in precise bursts that surprise me and make me smile.
Thats the level drummers aspire to be
Wisdom and efficiency comes with age.
That's her greatest strength, but also her greatest weakness... her dynamic range is very flat, if that makes sense

Yes this woman is certainly a powerhouse of drumming technique
Yeah, she doesn't play with a lot of energy here at all. She's hitting everything "right" but she's barely hitting the drums when she does
Every rock band is missing a golden opportunity to bring this woman on stage for one of their bangers. The crowd would go nuts!

My wife is a surgeon and they espouse the same concept, interesting how that’s so broadly applicable
So telling someone that they "play like a Granny" is no longer an insult. 💕 Love your contagious enthusiasm!!
Everydrummer all around the world should admire this grandmom. We love you!!!!!
Most guys would power through the simplicity of this particular song, but Miss Taylor literally played it so precise you can learn the whole song within 10 mins
The coolest “what’s my age again” drum cover ever seen on the internet 👍🏻
Love the improvised fill right at the end. Great example of how to cover a track.

Soooo good!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Ιt's just triplets played after regular 16th notes but it was a really tasteful lick.

I started at 61!
y’all are too cute seriously
Wow bro 48 as well....hopefully it's not a mid life crisis🤣😂🤣😂
Me too! Started at 48 😀
Her drumming is the definition of ergonomic. Bless you 🙏
I love that she challenged Travis Barker. I would pay to see that. Would be absolutely epic!!!

I wanted to see her challenge Avery Molik. But he's grown up now.
☹
He would leave Courtney for this lady. She is actually talented and a real badass! Lol
Ditto. Would pay money. Wanna hear it.
It'd be a pure "shut up and take my money" moment.
I love to see the technique of a master. So practiced, efficient, and expressive.
My hats off to this Lady. She is excellent.

Dorothea is a beast. The most impressive part of this is that she's able to play comfortably with her apple watch on.

Love it, Great Music has no boundaries . No age , no color, no limits.
Music is universal.
I love how each musician has their own thing. She taps the count on her snare stick with her thumb.
It looks like she also taps her pointer finger.
I never thought Travis' piece could be "not that exhausting to play” based on how hard He hit the drums playing this
It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how efficiently you hit.
I'm willing to bet he doesn't hit so hard in the studio. It's a performance just like playing guitar behind your back or spinning on the ground
