The drums were used more as a thump than a musical instrument at times, which is probably what made them so good.

    The smile on her face when she played the first verse is amazing! She was in the song, in the groove, deep in the beat. That was impressive!

    Chills! Literal chills!
    She did not just crush the song, she told a story, incredible dynamics, energy building, incredible feel! What a beast

    She was awesome, especially in one take! Very humble and real drummer, with great talent.

    The artists they bring on this channel are so consistently amazing I think it’s easy to take for granted how impressive doing something like this is.

    As someone who air drums to this song a LOT at the gym, I know this song intimately and she nailed this! Well done!

    Have never heard of her before but I sure as hell will from this point on. Absolutely talented. She killed it. I think I might like her version better. From one drummer to another Great job!

    This might be my favorite one from this series. I didn’t expect any of that from her.

    For a first-time play-through with zero preparation, SHE FUCKING CRUSHED THAT! These "Hearing For The First Time" videos are killing me, I love them, keep 'em coming as long as you can Drumeo.

    Takes courage to play the drums to any song after one take and put it out there in the public domain. Massive respect.

    "Rage Against The Drums" by Jess Bowen. Superb!
