Sina fans, I beg your indulgence, because this is going to be a very long comment. Some time back I promised Sina I would go into detail as to why I consider this song to be an example of “peak Sina”, some of her very best work and a showpiece for her talent. “Forty Six & 2” is a track by prog-metal band Tool, a group and genre that I was unfamiliar with until I saw this drum cover. The song is about as far as you can get from “pop”. It is repetitive, has no melodic hooks or harmony, and its lyrics are obscure at best. What it does have is a complex, demanding drum part. The song opens with four bars of a somber guitar riff, a pattern that will continue through much of the track. In the next four bars, Sina adds cymbal accents. For another four bars, we get triples on the ride cymbal in a counterpoint to the guitar pattern, giving the impression of a non-standard time signature (although it’s really just 4/4). Then, following a one-bar cymbal flourish, Sina launches into the first real groove of the song - but what a groove it is! It’s worth examining in some detail since Sina’s smooth delivery makes it seem almost effortless. Let’s break it down. The left foot has the easy job. It’s just maintaining a straight on-beat rhythm on the hi-hat. The right foot puts in a double bass note on the one-beat. But now look at the right hand: it’s doing a complex pattern of rim shots on the floor tom, single-triple-single-triple-triple. Meanwhile, the left hand is working the roto-toms in an entirely different syncopated counter-rhythm. This groove calls for an incredible level of four-limb independence. It’s as if each extremity has its own separate brain, running a pattern all its own yet perfectly synced to the other three. It’s an astonishing skill that betrays years of hard work and practice. If you think it’s easy, try it yourself. I’d be impressed if you can tap along with even the two hand patterns, never mind all four. After eight bars of this pattern, as the first verse opens, we begin to get variations on the theme. First come cymbal accents on the one-beat, briefly interrupting the rim-shot pattern without disrupting it or any of the other parts of the groove. After eight bars of this the intensity ratchets up further - the cymbal notes are replaced by two syncopated tom hits, again with no interruption of the groove. Eight bars later at 1:53, a quick tom fill leads into the chorus and a new, high-intensity groove. This is more like a traditional rock groove, with snare and hi-hat hits punctuated with crash cymbals. But the bass drum pattern has become more complex and includes some 16th notes leading into the 3-beat. This seven-bar section ends with a one-measure fill and a momentary rest. Two four-bar instrumental bridges, each with its own groove pattern, lead into the next verse. Sina plays this similar to the first verse, but not quite the same; it’s yet another set of variations on the theme. But when we get to 3:18 there’s something new, three measures of a strong counter rhythm and a fourth bar with three straight-time blast beats and a full stop that leads into the bridge. The first eight bars of the bridge are almost simple, a nearly straightforward rock beat while the guitars take a break from their hypnotic pattern and build to a siren-like crescendo. But it’s in the next eight bars that Sina shows her chops to the fullest, as she lays in a series of increasingly complex fills on the toms until at 4:05 she gets to take the first real rest as the guitars return to the main theme once more. And she’s going to need that rest, because after another ten bars of cymbal and roto-tom accents, she bursts out with the most intense fill of the song, rolling down through every tom, nailing snare and cymbals, briefly revisiting the main groove but adding double-bass pedals, playing what amounts to an embedded drum solo with rolls from snare to toms and back before getting back into the main groove again for the final verse but this time with unique fills in each bar. All this leads into a final coda that builds in intensity up to those final crash hits in groups of five, the first four instantly muted, the last allowed to ring for an eighth-note so that the mute itself becomes a beat, repeating until the very last group is cut short with the concluding hit on the closed hi-hat. This is true mastery. If some of the simpler rock covers left any doubt about Sina’s skills, this video doesn’t just dispel them, it makes them seem silly. Every facet of virtuoso drumming is here: power, precision, dynamic range, taste and feel. There was no cheating or studio trickery - it is clear that this was recorded as a single take, possibly the only take unless there was a wardrobe change. The song, even its genre, may not be to your taste, but the performance here puts Sina in the top rank of drummers regardless of age or gender.
Donald Boettger Why in the hell did 183 people dislike this? You may not like the song but what she’s doing is incredible. Don’t get it. Keep jamming Sina and God bless.
@@MrMashman93 Well, that's a whopping 1.5% of people who gave it a thumbs-up, so not that much of a concern. That many people could have clicked the wrong icon by mistake ;-) Seriously, though, it's most likely people who are griping about the song/genre choice. It's too bad for them, since if they could watch with an open mind they'd be in for a real treat.
@@MrMashman93 Thanks! It was a lot of fun to break it down. I'm still in awe of her performance here. Now I'm going to brag a little: I am the lucky and proud owner of the drumsticks Sina used in this video. :-)
Sina is perfect in so many ways! She is totally immersed in this music and breathes with it. Not just the timing of the hits and strikes is sharp, but also the reciprocal volume on kickdrum, different cans and cymbals. Every strike counts. From midsong onwards she increases pressure and fills the intensity to the brim. Her playing brings tears in my eyes and it’s a constant delight to watch! Her standards and goals for playing go way beyond normal expectations. She doesn’t even seem to need or care for all the appreciation that she deserves, though! Rock goddess!
Man! That is such a technically complex song for such a young person to not only understand but to master. Wow! I am truly blown away. Sina, your passion for this is very impressive.
A few years ago I was fiddling around with You Tube on my cell phone and found Meytal Cohens cover of this song. I had also just found Sinas covers. When I saw Sina had done this cover I knew I had to watch it. I was not disappointed. I knew that Sina was a good drummer by the few videos I had watched. But after I watched this video I knew she had gone to another level. Tool is not a band I listen to but I can tell how technically challenging this song is. She kills this song.
Absolutely stunning performance, Miss Sina! You have given us an extraordinary drum-cover this week that in no uncertain terms illustrates that all of your hard work and study these last several years has paid off - providing further evidence you are well on your way to being the definitive drummer (as opposed to describing you as 'lady-drummer', 'young drummer', 'German drummer', etc.) of the 21st Century! A few years ago your cymbal-play was largely unremarkable, but whether it is your formal training, experience, hard work and/or practice that is responsible - you have made your work on the cymbals one of your skills I look forward to enjoying each video you create! In this outstanding drum cover of 'Forty-six & 2', you deliver tantalizing rim-shot syncopation that is most excellent along with your superb play on the toms and the cymbals too! Miss Sina, you demonstrate very clearly on your Chi Might II tracks as well as in drum-covers like this one, the (not so common) ability to drive the tune with percussion without the need to have the dynamic raised for the drum track or (more importantly) detracting from the vocal or instrumental tracks that are at the center of the performance. Miss Sina, you and your entire team just keep getting better and better! What a "fun-tastic" to usher in the weekend. Great work on this performance!
Jason Meinhart Jason? I wish I had wrote your words B/C that’s way I’ve always seen Sina. As best drummer to ever come across my ears. NOT best female, young, etcetera as you so Poignantly
This song is difficult to pull off for any musicians with it's changing technical compositions! I do believe Sina this is some of your finest work, period. My favorite from you, you totally owned it!!!
I’ve heard this song covered before by other drummers on RUclips, but I love the song, and I just thought, “Let’s see what Sina does with it...” the rolls are so tight, and the whole piece is so crisp, this is my new favorite cover of this song. Rock on, Sina.
Love the rotos and you did a perfect job with dragging the bass back when needed and floating ahead of the beat when needed. Very good job. I could watch the last 90 seconds again and again. A talented drummer going to work. No frills. No self-awareness. No glancing at the camera. Simply banging the part out.
I just discovered this young lady's drum cover videos recently and in my honest opinion she has raw talent and has earned the Golden drumstick award in my mind . Sina is a drumming Goddess !! Keep on rocking !!
This is just plain BAD ASS drum work. I can't think of any one with more talent and drive. Pure perfection, pure determination and so freaking amazing. Why are you not a millionaire and why are bands not camping in your yard just to get a chance to hear you play. I'm blown away by you and your entire family. Wake up young people and watch Sina. This is a super star.Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Summer must be near...the shoes are off! Very nicely done! A real workout. I have no idea how any drummer can do so many different things at once. That was amazing.
As a professional drummer for +30 years Sina performance was OUTSTANDING!! I love this Tool song and Sina really nailed it.. LOVE to see more you really are FIRE.
One comment I have about this performance is when she does the rapid bass drum work, she appears to have great balance and subtle movement of her legs. Some people when the do double bass stuff look like they are pedaling a bicycle but Sina has a very impressive technique for his. Kudos to her. Upvoted and subscribed. You're welcome Sina.
Hi Sina, I'm not a drummer and I don't know how to play the drums, but in all your videos I can admire the precision and perfection of your performances. At least, this is what I understand and this is what is evident in all your videos. Congrats.
*HOLY BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP!* Finally!!! I have been following you for quite some time now Sina and I have been waiting to see you get angry at those skins! Your animation and body language screams *RAAAWWRRR!* Love how you get into this one. Seriously a whole lot of punch in a pint-size package! You may have worked up a sweat a bit, but its evident at the end that you could do it 10 times more. Hardly out of breathe at all! You are in incredible shape young lady. This kicks ass on so many levels. The facial expression at 528 is something I have NEVER, EVER seen in any of your videos. WOW!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Speaking of love, the thumbnail for this should be part of some future merchandise. Really a great shot and theme Sina! Once again Fridays rolls around and I am left breathless and in awestruck! You ROCK SO HARD YOUNG LADY!
Steve J I totally agree with you Steve J! Naturally, I had to go and watch 5:28 per your comment. I've seen that brief exptression...super intense, 100% focused, and then just a slight "smile of satisfaction", knowing in her heart & soul that she nailed it! But just for a millisecond. Which she did of course. Great observation by the way!
Remarkable. Think I have watched 7 or 8 covers of this song. This the first one where the drummer really became a part of the music. Sinked in skillfully and spiritually.
You can hear someone play a part correct, and it doesn't sound great, then you hear someone with immense talent, but also the 'feel' element, and it's outstanding. Great job.
Probably my favourite Tool song (but there are so many!) especially because of the complexities and nuances in Danny Careys drumming. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'd swear blind it was Danny playing along. That has to be SO hard to play 😳👏👏👏
I don't always watch the videos I just enjoy some of her great music blasting away while doing a jigsaw. Since discovering Sina on here a few years ago not many days have gone by when I haven't watched/listened to her playing. Today this video came up on a playlist for the first time for me. I don't know what to say as I've run out of superlatives for Sina
Many cover this song. As usual, Sina delivers an exciting performance with technical precision and her audio and video production team did a fabulous job!
My mind is blown away by your level of talent. Keep pumping them out. There are those of us out here that really enjoy watching the younger generation have an appreciation for music. Thank you
I’m enthralled every time I listen to this track. Donald’s explanation makes me understand why. She is masterful and if you can’t see it or at least hear it then pity on you . Watching her in other tracks where she actually has to hold herself back is when I lean forward in my seat and shout go go go!
I've always wondered what it would be like to have a separate brain in each of my limbs. Now I know. How Sina can be so amazingly coordinated and keep it all clear in her head is just genius. I thought she was a fantastic drummer 9 years ago when I 'discovered' her. Now, there is no doubt whatsoever. IMO Sina ranks with the finest drummers in raw talent.
Seems like a true student of percussion and a genuine proficient to me... I look forward to showing my daughters this kind of footage for inspiration. Keep up the awesome work.
If there is a better percussionist on the planet, I haven't seen or heard them. To me, I always thought that Neil Peart was the best but this young lady is climbing the mountain fast. You are a true professional, unbelievable talent. Your dedication and hard work is inspiring to this drummer. Brilliant performance, I can't watch this clip enough!
Markus Fuchs Yes she did! And she is a pro! I didn't think it was humanly possible to continue to grow and improve after watching Sina Drums for a couple years. But once again, I've been proved wrong.
This thumbnail and your new Hey! masterpiece bring a recollection of a great Talking Heads tune (And She Was). 1st verse starts with: "Hey! --- And she was lying in the grass... Tool is a great group and I hear that they never hit anyone with copyright strikes. Love this song and your stellar rendition. 🧡
as a retired drummer i got to admire you don't back away from a challenge. you cover different songs better than i ever could. it is a blessing to know you are bringing inspiration to the world at this time. as an artist you have such good taste. of all the covers i've seen i learned something of the drum part and i can appreciate Tool for their complex take no prisoners style. of the covers i have seen to date it would seem an early Bill Buford is one of the hardest to emulate. the crispness of his stick work is hard to duplicate. i feel enriched to see all aspects of you artistry grow and increase, makes me feel better as a human. Cheers
All you boys and girls out there! Understand that this is not a somewhat common drum performance! You enhance your ability with this perfect camera clip. Excellent! you are a star of course !! You are number 1 !!
I don't know how long I've been watching you for now, but this cover is still one of my favourites. Such a complex pattern made to look easy. I hope some day I can see you play live.
Sina, that was great! I have been following you for a long time...I'm an old woman now and I've been playing the drums for many decades and you are the best!!!
OMG!! My favourite drummer in the world 🌎! Covering one of my favourite bands, and picking one of their toughest songs 46&2!! Danny Carey IS NOT an easy drummer to cover! He shows his drums no mercy!! Damn girl if you weren’t already my favourite drummer in the world, you would be now!! I love you love you love you!! Your sweat shows how hard that song is to cover and the workout it is, and did a perfect job!! I have watched other drummers on here cover this song and did great, but they were using kits twice the size of yours! That makes your cover even more incredible! Damn I love you girl!! There isn’t another drummer in this world in my opinion who could touch you now!! I would love to hear hear you cover Tools songs Vicarious and The Pot! Sober would be cool to but I don’t know if there is a clean version of that one or not, it’s not for language sensitive ears. Girl I’m so impressed by you and all you do!! LADY SINA FOREVER!!
Superb work, Sina! Very well played, and your timing and strength were outstanding. Bravo! I loved your ability to adapt to the many timing changes throughout this song. Bass, Guitar and drums playing different time signatures is confusing and powerful...loved it!
This looked like quite a technically and physically difficult bit of drumming but you handled it like a boss! Found it mesmerizing to watch and listen to. Loved your well deserved satisfied look at the end! Great work and thank you for sharing! :)
Bei glühender Hitze entstehen Diamanten - wie dieses brillante Video! Zweifellos eines Deiner besten. Ich sehe bzw. höre es mir immer wieder an. Faszinierend!
@@wartberg111 Jo. Da du es gerade erwähntest. Schade drum. Das ist der Grund warum ich eiligst bei Erscheinen mir eine Kopie des Videos `runterlade. Besser als nix. Vllt. wird es ja wieder von YT "freigelassen" (hrrm, wie z. B. des immer noch "eingesperrten" Hotel California Vids ?, was ja immer noch "festgehalten" wird). Schönen Gruß nach HN.
This is one of the greatest videos I've ever seen. I've watched it 3 times and the third time is better than the first. It made me understand the song. There are many virtuosos in the world, but few that can reach out, pull you in and make things clearer.
I play Samba and african drums. One day someone brought that Roto-/ Tomtom pattern (from 1:30 on), we splitted it into four to be played as a two bar break between cowbell, repinique, and two surdos. Now I know, where it came from, and that a single person can play all of it with two hands! Esp. the right hand is amazing - adding those hits on the drumheads from that rim pattern, not letting one drop...
Hey everybody! It's Tool-Time - and today's featured tool is ... a gene splicer! THE SONG - "Forty Six & 2" was written by prog-metal band Tool members Danny Carey (drums), Justin Chancellor (bass), Adam Jones (guitar), and Maynard James Keenan (vocals). It was the fourth single from their album 'Ænima' (sometimes spelled 'Aenima') - pronounced "ON-ima". No specific recording date is given other than the band started writing and recording the album in Sept 1995 and it was released on Sept 17, 1996. As a single, "Forty Six & 2" peaked at #22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart on Dec 13, 1997, spending a total of 18 weeks on that chart. What does the song mean? There are a number of interpretations. Tool doesn't supply lyrics with the albums. Vocalist Keenan says most people "don't get it" and it's not important to the band that they do. "Forty Six & 2" may deal with subjects as esoteric as Jungian philosophy and evolution. A popular belief is that the song refers to the next stage of human evolution where, instead of 46 chromosomes (44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes) in our DNA, we would have 48 (46 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes or 46 & 2). Some who believe in the "23 Enigma" point out that 46/2=23. Some people find both religious and anti-religious statements in the lyrics. Perhaps interpretation is best left to the individual listener. THE COVER - The musical arrangement of "Forty Six & 2" is equally complex - Time signatures are mostly 4/4 with some 7/8. The drummer Danny Carey plays at 7/8 for 4 bars on the ride cymbal while the rest of the band stays in 4/4. There are more complicated time signature shifts in other parts of the song. Sina clearly has no problem with mathematical subdivisions even though she has only the normal number of chromosomes - and we're all thankful for that! :D It's also obviously summer again and the "Chucks" go back in the closet! And talk about hot in the basement, after about the 04:30 mark, the full drum workout started! Wow, I think that's the first time I've seen you break a sweat! Too bad only your video's thumbnail picture got to go outside! Great stuff! FUN FACTS - James Keenan joined the US Army in the early '80s. He studied at West Point Prep School 1983-84 and sang in the glee club. It was there that he adopted "Maynard" as part of his stage name. In addition to other pursuits, he is a winemaker. He owns Merkin Vineyards near Sedona, Arizona.
I loved. I do not miss any of your videos, and when I saw the title of forty six and 2, I could not believe it, since it is one of my favorite songs devido precisely to the drums. I already wanted to see you again making a video with that quality. Well done Sina.
I found Sina's work last week but subscribed today. Tool's music is complex, interesting and different than almost anything else out there in the music industry. Sina was playing Danny Carey's part of this song. There isn't a way to decribe his drumming style. This amazing young lady did a great job playing this song.
What a trooper! I could tell how much Sina was pushing herself. I don't really care for Tool but this was great work. It shows the kind of endurance she has. Sina you have got to get your band to come to America. And if that is eventually planned - how would fans know? I'd love to see you and your band in concert. Nice work and best wishes
Das schaff ich nicht immer täglich aber zumindest wöchentlich.Alles in Allem gebe ich dir Recht. Es ist immer wieder begeisternd, wie Sina dies nicht einfache Stück meistert.
WOW! As many of the comments say in one way or another (and it's a long time since I have seen so many comments for a RUclips video, which proves that you are not only very much appreciated, but also very loved), you are a virtuoso, Sina, and possess incredible skills. Please continue producing marvellous music for a very long time.
Another awesome gem cover I missed. So cool!!! I could listen to this all day long. I love it, and I can perceive all your unique concentration on that drum. Your vibes are so hypnotic and contagious. I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO DRAW SOMETHING RIGHT NOW
You must watch this at least twice. The first time while reading Sina's pinned comment from Donald Boettger. Then again while devoting all of your focus on Sina's pure genius!!
I am a little late to the party.... wow ! No words 🎉 Simply perfect . These 7/8 rolls made me goosegumps... you were already a blessed talented beautiful drummer just turned 19 y/o No words 🩷
My favorite Tool song, and also my ringtone. Great job as always Sina!! Danny is an amazing drummer and I'm sure he would give you mad props for this cover.
This is my go-to video when I need inspiration, clarity, or a simple dose of "Oh, yeah". Absolutely brilliant, Sina, thank you. Definitely no easy feat to capture that inner Danny Carey.

Had to come back and watch this one again. Sina is a drum goddess! This song is so intense. Sina really broke a sweat by the end. Just perfection!
This song is difficult to pull off for any musicians with it's changing technical compositions!
I do believe Sina this is some of your finest work, period. My favorite from you, you totally owned it!!!
WTF!!! This is beyond difficult. Major props young lady. Your skills never fail to impress.
She was already a drummer at 13 or 14 years old. Look for her Van Halen cover Jump. Thanks.
Skill like this brings tears to my eyes. It is overwhelming.
She already is. ✌🌟
Yes!!! It's incredibly complex to address all 4 aspects of this song at once on the drums. A+.
Yes, Danny Carey’s skill brings a tears to my eyes.
I’ve heard this song covered before by other drummers on RUclips, but I love the song, and I just thought, “Let’s see what Sina does with it...” the rolls are so tight, and the whole piece is so crisp, this is my new favorite cover of this song. Rock on, Sina.
Love the rotos and you did a perfect job with dragging the bass back when needed and floating ahead of the beat when needed. Very good job.
I could watch the last 90 seconds again and again. A talented drummer going to work. No frills. No self-awareness. No glancing at the camera. Simply banging the part out.
She is not playing in the video...
I just discovered this young lady's drum cover videos recently and in my honest opinion she has raw talent and has earned the Golden drumstick award in my mind . Sina is a drumming Goddess !! Keep on rocking !!
The precision it takes to play this song, she absolutely nailed it. Soooo impressive.
This is just plain BAD ASS drum work. I can't think of any one with more talent and drive. Pure perfection, pure determination and so freaking amazing. Why are you not a millionaire and why are bands not camping in your yard just to get a chance to hear you play. I'm blown away by you and your entire family. Wake up young people and watch Sina. This is a super star.Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Gary-You are right... Skill, passion, and precision add up to something so incredibly amazing...
Gary Bullock i
Great talent
I don't think she is as great as you say she is.
that's ummmm lil exaggerated. Don't you think?
Summer must be near...the shoes are off! Very nicely done! A real workout. I have no idea how any drummer can do so many different things at once. That was amazing.
As a professional drummer for +30 years Sina performance was OUTSTANDING!! I love this Tool song and Sina really nailed it.. LOVE to see more you really are FIRE.
One comment I have about this performance is when she does the rapid bass drum work, she appears to have great balance and subtle movement of her legs. Some people when the do double bass stuff look like they are pedaling a bicycle but Sina has a very impressive technique for his. Kudos to her. Upvoted and subscribed. You're welcome Sina.
Hi Sina, I'm not a drummer and I don't know how to play the drums, but in all your videos I can admire the precision and perfection of your performances. At least, this is what I understand and this is what is evident in all your videos. Congrats.
*HOLY BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP!* Finally!!! I have been following you for quite some time now Sina and I have been waiting to see you get angry at those skins! Your animation and body language screams *RAAAWWRRR!* Love how you get into this one. Seriously a whole lot of punch in a pint-size package! You may have worked up a sweat a bit, but its evident at the end that you could do it 10 times more. Hardly out of breathe at all! You are in incredible shape young lady. This kicks ass on so many levels. The facial expression at 528 is something I have NEVER, EVER seen in any of your videos. WOW!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Speaking of love, the thumbnail for this should be part of some future merchandise. Really a great shot and theme Sina! Once again Fridays rolls around and I am left breathless and in awestruck! You ROCK SO HARD YOUNG LADY!
Steve J I totally agree with you Steve J! Naturally, I had to go and watch 5:28 per your comment. I've seen that brief exptression...super intense, 100% focused, and then just a slight "smile of satisfaction", knowing in her heart & soul that she nailed it! But just for a millisecond. Which she did of course. Great observation by the way!
Get it, kid! That was freakin' AWESOME!!! Well done, yo!
Remarkable. Think I have watched 7 or 8 covers of this song. This the first one where the drummer really became a part of the music. Sinked in skillfully and spiritually.
She is pretending to play in the video...
Of all her videos, this is BY FAR the very best of Sina! Well done!
Sina, you're a real credit to the sisterhood! You're rolling with the big boys playing Tool, Zep, The Who, etc. & you nail it. love to watch you.
"Sweatin' to the drum covers". Thanks, Sina! Your timing with the rest of the track was flawless! I like this one a lot!
You can hear someone play a part correct, and it doesn't sound great, then you hear someone with immense talent, but also the 'feel' element, and it's outstanding. Great job.
Probably my favourite Tool song (but there are so many!) especially because of the complexities and nuances in Danny Careys drumming. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'd swear blind it was Danny playing along. That has to be SO hard to play 😳👏👏👏
I don't always watch the videos I just enjoy some of her great music blasting away while doing a jigsaw. Since discovering Sina on here a few years ago not many days have gone by when I haven't watched/listened to her playing. Today this video came up on a playlist for the first time for me. I don't know what to say as I've run out of superlatives for Sina
You truly have a gift it's amazing how good you are on the drums
I truly hope we see more TOOL from you Sina, you sure do shine playing their technical tracks. You ROCK girl!.
Many cover this song. As usual, Sina delivers an exciting performance with technical precision and her audio and video production team did a fabulous job!
Absolutely amazing , always amazes me how people are able to remember so many different drum covers, or even own they make up, what a talent , wow
My mind is blown away by your level of talent. Keep pumping them out. There are those of us out here that really enjoy watching the younger generation have an appreciation for music. Thank you
I’m enthralled every time I listen to this track. Donald’s explanation makes me understand why. She is masterful and if you can’t see it or at least hear it then pity on you . Watching her in other tracks where she actually has to hold herself back is when I lean forward in my seat and shout go go go!
Thanks for the mention, Lee! Helping other listeners understand what's so great about Sina's work on this track is exactly what I was hoping for.
Best druming I've ever seen in my life! Holy COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great job. Tough song to tackle
I've always wondered what it would be like to have a separate brain in each of my limbs. Now I know. How Sina can be so amazingly coordinated and keep it all clear in her head is just genius. I thought she was a fantastic drummer 9 years ago when I 'discovered' her. Now, there is no doubt whatsoever. IMO Sina ranks with the finest drummers in raw talent.
Seems like a true student of percussion and a genuine proficient to me... I look forward to showing my daughters this kind of footage for inspiration. Keep up the awesome work.
She is not playing what you hear so that wouldn't be fair to your kids
If there is a better percussionist on the planet, I haven't seen or heard them. To me, I always thought that Neil Peart was the best but this young lady is climbing the mountain fast. You are a true professional, unbelievable talent. Your dedication and hard work is inspiring to this drummer. Brilliant performance, I can't watch this clip enough!
That's a song for a pro... And you nailed it! 🙏
Markus Fuchs Hell yeaaah !!!!!!!!
this is hard but traid by TOOL is for the god like danny carey
Markus Fuchs Yes she did! And she is a pro! I didn't think it was humanly possible to continue to grow and improve after watching Sina Drums for a couple years. But once again, I've been proved wrong.
many others Tool songs are hard to play on drums . Danny is a real beast
Check out Meytal Cohen's version. Both great. Different, but great.
INSANELY tight! Wow And I love how you don't have like 30 drums and 20 cymbals. Shows you can play on a normal drum set! Tightest cover I've heard
She can play that single kick better than most can with a double kick. Really says something for sure
Love that quiet interlude when you are anticipating the drums coming in strong around 4:15. Best part is her subtle smile at the end!
Impeccable! Your level of independence is master level. The whole song was executed, nay expressed without a hint of struggle. I am beyond impressed.
I don't know how I missed this in the past.
THAT...WAS...AMAZING
Damn! Covering Danny like that, one of the best drummers of all time. Mad props!
I admire your talent Sina, flawless execution, timing, stability
This thumbnail and your new Hey! masterpiece bring a recollection of a great Talking Heads tune (And She Was). 1st verse starts with: "Hey! --- And she was lying in the grass...
Tool is a great group and I hear that they never hit anyone with copyright strikes. Love this song and your stellar rendition. 🧡
as a retired drummer i got to admire you don't back away from a challenge. you cover different songs better than i ever could. it is a blessing to know you are bringing inspiration to the world at this time. as an artist you have such good taste. of all the covers i've seen i learned something of the drum part and i can appreciate Tool for their complex take no prisoners style. of the covers i have seen to date it would seem an early Bill Buford is one of the hardest to emulate. the crispness of his stick work is hard to duplicate. i feel enriched to see all aspects of you artistry grow and increase, makes me feel better as a human. Cheers
All you boys and girls out there!
Understand that this is not a somewhat common drum performance!
You enhance your ability with this perfect camera clip. Excellent! you are a star of course !!
You are number 1 !!
As always Sina, an incredibly precise and excellent execution of a wonderful song!
What song is like a multivitamin it has a bit of everything to get you going❤🎉🎉
I don't know how long I've been watching you for now, but this cover is still one of my favourites. Such a complex pattern made to look easy. I hope some day I can see you play live.
Sina, that was great! I have been following you for a long time...I'm an old woman now and I've been playing the drums for many decades and you are the best!!!
OMG!! My favourite drummer in the world 🌎! Covering one of my favourite bands, and picking one of their toughest songs 46&2!! Danny Carey IS NOT an easy drummer to cover! He shows his drums no mercy!! Damn girl if you weren’t already my favourite drummer in the world, you would be now!! I love you love you love you!! Your sweat shows how hard that song is to cover and the workout it is, and did a perfect job!! I have watched other drummers on here cover this song and did great, but they were using kits twice the size of yours! That makes your cover even more incredible! Damn I love you girl!! There isn’t another drummer in this world in my opinion who could touch you now!! I would love to hear hear you cover Tools songs Vicarious and The Pot! Sober would be cool to but I don’t know if there is a clean version of that one or not, it’s not for language sensitive ears. Girl I’m so impressed by you and all you do!! LADY SINA FOREVER!!
Oh Sina, Thank You!!! Für mich einer deiner besten.
That was seriously badass!
Can't help but keep on going back to this video to watch. Really impressive drumming! Really blown away! 🤯
Superb work, Sina! Very well played, and your timing and strength were outstanding. Bravo! I loved your ability to adapt to the many timing changes throughout this song. Bass, Guitar and drums playing different time signatures is confusing and powerful...loved it!
This looked like quite a technically and physically difficult bit of drumming but you handled it like a boss! Found it mesmerizing to watch and listen to. Loved your well deserved satisfied look at the end! Great work and thank you for sharing! :)
Bei glühender Hitze entstehen Diamanten - wie dieses brillante Video! Zweifellos eines Deiner besten. Ich sehe bzw. höre es mir immer wieder an. Faszinierend!
Du hast Recht. Aber ohne Druck geht garnix. Den macht sich Sina sicher selbst. :-))
..... und es entstand ein "Meister-Cover".
@@frankjanuschke6281 ich brauche jeden tag meine dosis sina und das stück gehört immer dazu..
@@wartberg111 So isses.
@@frankjanuschke6281 sehr schade das george harrison cover wurde gesperrt.habe das sehr gerne gesehen .
@@wartberg111 Jo. Da du es gerade erwähntest. Schade drum. Das ist der Grund warum ich eiligst bei Erscheinen mir eine Kopie des Videos `runterlade. Besser als nix. Vllt. wird es ja wieder von YT "freigelassen" (hrrm, wie z. B. des immer noch "eingesperrten" Hotel California Vids ?, was ja immer noch "festgehalten" wird). Schönen Gruß nach HN.
The multi-tool to my heart ❤️❤️❤
This is one of the greatest videos I've ever seen. I've watched it 3 times and the third time is better than the first. It made me understand the song. There are many virtuosos in the world, but few that can reach out, pull you in and make things clearer.
If you can master Tool, then you can master anything and everything. Amazing drum cover, wow!!
That was bad ass. That’s not an easy song to cover and you tore that song up. Great job. The best drum cover I ever seen of that song.
you still amaze me sina, ther`s so much going on in this number and you nailed it spot on
So when you have 'favorite songs' and those songs get better...
Its amazing!
Thank you Sina!
were always amazed at how hard you work to please your fans and the talent you display ..thank you
To see such passion is a treat. Sina, may you never tire of this artistic journey.
Always look forward to your covers. Excellent job. Please keep them coming
I play Samba and african drums. One day someone brought that Roto-/ Tomtom pattern (from 1:30 on), we splitted it into four to be played as a two bar break between cowbell, repinique, and two surdos. Now I know, where it came from, and that a single person can play all of it with two hands! Esp. the right hand is amazing - adding those hits on the drumheads from that rim pattern, not letting one drop...
Hey everybody! It's Tool-Time - and today's featured tool is ... a gene splicer!
THE SONG - "Forty Six & 2" was written by prog-metal band Tool members Danny Carey (drums), Justin Chancellor (bass), Adam Jones (guitar), and Maynard James Keenan (vocals). It was the fourth single from their album 'Ænima' (sometimes spelled 'Aenima') - pronounced "ON-ima". No specific recording date is given other than the band started writing and recording the album in Sept 1995 and it was released on Sept 17, 1996. As a single, "Forty Six & 2" peaked at #22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart on Dec 13, 1997, spending a total of 18 weeks on that chart.
What does the song mean? There are a number of interpretations. Tool doesn't supply lyrics with the albums. Vocalist Keenan says most people "don't get it" and it's not important to the band that they do. "Forty Six & 2" may deal with subjects as esoteric as Jungian philosophy and evolution. A popular belief is that the song refers to the next stage of human evolution where, instead of 46 chromosomes (44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes) in our DNA, we would have 48 (46 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes or 46 & 2). Some who believe in the "23 Enigma" point out that 46/2=23. Some people find both religious and anti-religious statements in the lyrics. Perhaps interpretation is best left to the individual listener.
THE COVER - The musical arrangement of "Forty Six & 2" is equally complex - Time signatures are mostly 4/4 with some 7/8. The drummer Danny Carey plays at 7/8 for 4 bars on the ride cymbal while the rest of the band stays in 4/4. There are more complicated time signature shifts in other parts of the song.
Sina clearly has no problem with mathematical subdivisions even though she has only the normal number of chromosomes - and we're all thankful for that! :D It's also obviously summer again and the "Chucks" go back in the closet! And talk about hot in the basement, after about the 04:30 mark, the full drum workout started! Wow, I think that's the first time I've seen you break a sweat! Too bad only your video's thumbnail picture got to go outside! Great stuff!
FUN FACTS - James Keenan joined the US Army in the early '80s. He studied at West Point Prep School 1983-84 and sang in the glee club. It was there that he adopted "Maynard" as part of his stage name. In addition to other pursuits, he is a winemaker. He owns Merkin Vineyards near Sedona, Arizona.
Juliet P. Excellent description especially time signature
I love your comments about the context of all the songs. Thanks Juliet.
Thanks again as always Juliet. I always love your posts!!! :D
Correction: Sina has the extra "D" chromosome for drumming that we plain mortals don't have.
Well done
Exhibiting all your talent in one song, I love it! You killed it!!!! You're amazing!
So solid Sina! That was tight! Awesome job!
I loved. I do not miss any of your videos, and when I saw the title of forty six and 2, I could not believe it, since it is one of my favorite songs devido precisely to the drums. I already wanted to see you again making a video with that quality. Well done Sina.
I was in a bad mood tonight and I just stumbled onto you playing... now I'm so happy. So enjoyable listening to you play. Thank you.
this is my 10th time watching this in 2 days, still brings me joy
A mesmerising marriage of fluidity and power. Magnificent.
I found Sina's work last week but subscribed today. Tool's music is complex, interesting and different than almost anything else out there in the music industry. Sina was playing Danny Carey's part of this song. There isn't a way to decribe his drumming style. This amazing young lady did a great job playing this song.
What a trooper! I could tell how much Sina was pushing herself. I don't really care for Tool but this was great work. It shows the kind of endurance she has. Sina you have got to get your band to come to America. And if that is eventually planned - how would fans know? I'd love to see you and your band in concert. Nice work and best wishes
i need my dose of sina music every day. and forty six &2 is one of them. masterpice..
Das schaff ich nicht immer täglich aber zumindest wöchentlich.Alles in Allem gebe ich dir Recht. Es ist immer wieder begeisternd, wie Sina dies nicht einfache Stück meistert.
@@frankjanuschke6281 bei dem stress mit Studium Frage ich mich wo sina die Zeit her nimmt um solche Meisterwerke zu machen!
IMPRESSIVE! this song has one of the best drum parts ever
Incredible talent doesn't begin to describe it.
WOW! As many of the comments say in one way or another (and it's a long time since I have seen so many comments for a RUclips video, which proves that you are not only very much appreciated, but also very loved), you are a virtuoso, Sina, and possess incredible skills. Please continue producing marvellous music for a very long time.
Incredible, this is a song for elite drummers
She is up to the task. Bravo!
Another awesome gem cover I missed. So cool!!! I could listen to this all day long. I love it, and I can perceive all your unique concentration on that drum. Your vibes are so hypnotic and contagious. I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO DRAW SOMETHING RIGHT NOW
Again and again a pleasure to watch and listen to you at "work".
You must watch this at least twice. The first time while reading Sina's pinned comment from Donald Boettger. Then again while devoting all of your focus on Sina's pure genius!!
I am a little late to the party.... wow ! No words 🎉
Simply perfect . These 7/8 rolls made me goosegumps... you were already a blessed talented beautiful drummer just turned 19 y/o
No words 🩷
Your freaking amazing!! Keep it up!! Don't know very many people that can keep up with Tool drummer
I honestly dont know how one can do so many different things at once and well. Drums continue to amaze me😂
Well, after watching about 20 times… ...outstanding performance! I love it!
You are a magician Sina! Awesome prodigy!! Thanks for sharing your talents! I'm still in Awe!!!
My favorite Tool song, and also my ringtone. Great job as always Sina!! Danny is an amazing drummer and I'm sure he would give you mad props for this cover.
How did I miss this one? This is enormously complex. You are super human to master a piece like this.
Holy Crap! I have watched many of your videos and I think this is the first one I have ever seen you sweat doing. Nailed it ! You jam Sina!
wow you have out done yourself with this one, awesome job, one of my fave tool songs.. keep up the great work.
This is my go-to video when I need inspiration, clarity, or a simple dose of "Oh, yeah". Absolutely brilliant, Sina, thank you. Definitely no easy feat to capture that inner Danny Carey.
Wow Sina I totally missed this one! This is really incredible that you can play to this type of music. I'm pretty sure you can do anything!!
