Amazing footage! I was so obsessed with this period of Lenny’s music. Love that you could see the cymbals Cindy was playing and the actual kit size. If you have any more footage please post it
@@merrymonarch I feel like Sheila E was known more for singing and percussion work and not so much drumset playing. I know she can play....it's just not what made her famous.
@@TikuVsTaku I did not! I actually met her back in 2007 at a drum expo in New Hampshire. She was the last performer and stuck around to sign some cymbals that the Zildjian folks brought. She was really nice and chill.
Lenny giving the soundman hell is sort of funny. I feel his pain and also the soundguys because every venue is different, so you need different settings each night. I'm sure it worked out in the end for them hahah. Cindy is awesome.
Some clear plexiglass barrier screens on stage would have probably helped solved this problem. Put the some small plexiglass screens in from the mic up amps, and a big one in front of the drums and that would stop the bleed through so that the vocal mics are not getting overloaded. That and get some in-ear monitors, and Lenny would have most likely been satisfied with his mix. For a lead singer Like LK to not hear his vocal for 2 weeks while touring; I can see why he is upset, it means he has to strain and over sing just to barely hear his vocals. That that certainly leads to challenging times having to sing like that night after night.
what song is that in the very beginning first minute. It's a cool jazzy jam. I would have loved to see this concert. Cindy is a great drummer and a wonderful person, I've watched several interviews and drum sessions. She also has a great body, keeps fit. Rock on.
Not sure who shooting the video but this should never have been allowed to be posted by Lenny and Cindy.....the person got a "thing" about Cindy's attire?
Amazing director and camera angles. I got car sickness..but so awesome to be at sound check w Lenny, Cindy and the band!

This lady got some mean beats.....so talented!
Cindy Blackman has to be one of the fiercest drummers ever! She paved the way for women drummers in the 90s
Shelia E?

Karen Carpenter was a great drummer and singer ruclips.net/video/vdECtVO-Epo/видео.htmlsi=A_Lr6XcUtguWzEKf
She is very talented and beautiful.
What a gem of a material, thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Chris.
She hits hard. Holy cow. That’s gotta hurt after an hour of doing that. What a beast
You get used to hitting hard. What's more tiring is having to keep playing the same song to work out a monitor issue. Lol
@@fubar1217
Exactly. I don’t know where people get the idea that playing drums hurts? Did you know that she has a black belt in karate btw.?
@@TikuVsTaku I did not! I actually met her back in 2007 at a drum expo in New Hampshire. She was the last performer and stuck around to sign some cymbals that the Zildjian folks brought. She was really nice and chill.
this is so cool
I LOVE CINDY BLACKMAN SHE IS ONE FINE WOMAN

Badass drummer!! Her groove on rock n roll is dead is unmatched!

Right, in some venues your 15 000USD Gibson will sound like cheap Epi

I think this video should be titled 'Cindy Blackman Sound Check. Lenny Kravitz Whining.'
The title of this video it should be "How cool is Cindy Blackman "
Cool.
...no Wonder Santana married her :)

and the snare is... ludwig supralite maybe
Who shot this video ? It could have been great but the director doesn't stop Cindy's body ! It's embarrassing ! We needed pictures !
Muy bien..
I love how many men can't handle the fact Cindy is a better drummer than most.
Where? Who? I've never seen anyone give her criticism for being a woman.
So Talented, so beautiful!!! Too bad she's married to that Carlos guy. Lol
How not to make a video
sexy drummers 😍
A pretty typical case of LSD .. Lead Singers Disease .. 😳
Not sure who shooting the video but this should never have been allowed to be posted by Lenny and Cindy.....the person got a "thing" about Cindy's attire?
Do you mean George Santana, her then-future husband?
Lenny bla bla bla?:)
