  • 3 years ago, I launched my most popular drum cover so far: Sultans of Swing. It got more than 28M views as per today but it’s also my most controversial cover. Quite a few Dire Straits fans complained that I ignored the part as originally recorded by Pick Withers. Instead, I covered the style of Terry Williams’ Alchemy Live version. What can I say? I was young and I needed the money!
    Only joking… Today’s cover of Romeo and Juliet is my apology to Pick Withers and all Dire Straits fans. I tried hard to recreate the studio version note by note and I’m very impressed with Pick Withers’ original drum recording. This is some of the most tasty but also dynamic drumming I could possibly think of. Hopefully I didn’t mess this up again!

    What's In A Name?, the Bard Asked. Quite a Bit, If It's Yours...;D
    THE SONG - "Romeo and Juliet", by British rock band Dire Straits, was written by guitarist and vocalist Mark Knopfler. It appears as the second track of the band's third studio album 'Making Movies'. The album was recorded at the Power Station in New York between June 20 and Aug 25, 1980 and released on Oct 17, 1980. As a single, "Romeo and Juliet" was released on Jan 9, 1981.
    'Making Movies' reached #19 on the US Billboard 200 album chart. It reached #3 in New Zealand, #4 in the UK, #6 in Australia, France, and the Netherlands, and #7 in Germany. As a single, the only chart info is that "Romeo and Juliet" reached #8 in the UK.
    Knopfler's personal inspiration was his failed relationship with Holly Vincent. He includes lyrics that suggest he felt he was used by Vincent to forward her own career. According to SongFacts, "The line, "Now you just say, oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him," came from an interview where Holly Vincent was quoted as saying: "What happened was that I had a scene with Mark Knopfler and it got to the point where he couldn't handle it and we split up."
    Aside from the influence of Shakespeare's classic, Knopfler artfully worked in references from songs that were themselves similarly inspired. In the second verse, the line "He's underneath the window she's singing, hey la my boyfriend's back" pays tribute to the #1 1963 hit "My Boyfriend's Back" by the American girl group The Angels. In the second chorus, the line "And there's a place for us, you know the movie song" references "Somewhere" [aka "Somewhere (There's a Place for Us)"] from the musical 'West Side Story' that was made into a movie in 1961.
    THE DRUMMER - David ‘Pick’ Withers told 'Modern Drummer' he remembered "playing on biscuit tins with knitting needles as a child and asking my parents for drums". It took success in the "Boy's Brigade" in school before his parents bought him a simple set with no floor tom. He became a professional musician at 17 and a year later was playing a new Rogers kit for six months in Germany on the club circuit. He met Mark Knopfler in 1973 and played with him occasionally becoming a full-time member in 1977 when Dire Straits signed a record contract. Withers left the band in mid-1982 to spend time with his family and pursue his love of jazz.

    TRUE STORY DEPT - I suppose you wondered if I'd mention my name appearing in this song's title? Well, like Rosanna is always followed around by a certain Toto hit, I have my own little connection. FWIW, when I was in high school, the junior/senior classes staged a production of "R&J" to raise funds for prom. The faculty director wanted me to read for the part of Juliet. She thought Juliet played by a namesake would be cool, I would have loved to but I felt it was too cheesy. I ended up playing Juliet's nurse.

      I wrote it there in the comments. In my opinion the live-version of "Sultans" of the Brothers-in-Arms-Tour was the best version of Sultans ever played. Difference to the "Alchemy-Version", which was quite similar was the including of the Saxophone, which added something to the song for me. The original and Withers were brilliant - but for me so much 70ies-Style and the intention of Mark Knopfler to produce a counterpart to Punk, which was so famous in England these days. The 80ies-Versions puts so much more "life" in the song - in my opinion - and how Williams played the song was a big part of it. (Just my opinion, and I have no problem at all, if there are different opinions..)
      No discussion about Romeo and Juliet - just perfect played by Sina.

  • @dogpatch75
    @dogpatch75 3 года назад +22

    Pick Withers' drum creation for this song was very rudimentary and illustrates how a truly great song does not need much flash from any individual instrument to make it succeed. But Sina somehow adds incredible nuance that really makes the song pop way beyond the original! And she does it in a way that keeps the drums in their place. She is truly talented!

Sina’s appearance and gently drum playing in a few well placed shadows perfectly complements this song about love. In addition to supporting Sina Drums in other ways, happy I am to again being a channel member; it’s a really great way to support, and further ones enjoyment of her channel. charlie

    Saw Dire Straits perform this piece in Boston in 1983 at the Berklee School of Music Theatre. Mark Knoffler in the middle of the stage under a single street lamp playing his National guitar. Sina once again shows her great ability to not just cover the song but play it with the same feeling I remember Mark doing alone on a relatively small stage in Boston just before Dire Straits hit it really big. Well Done Sina!

I still love watching you play. I've watched you technique and your overall musicianship improve over the years. You've always been able to feel the music. I have bought music from you and will again. I'll still watch your covers but, I honestly don't think you need to do them to advance your career.

    Terrific, to my hearing the cymbals are much clearer in these older recordings.👏👏👏👏
    "Romeo and Juliet," a tale so well-known,
    A timeless story, emotions overthrown,
    In the hands of Sina, the drums have grown,
    To breathe new life, a rhythm of their own.
    With sticks in hand, she takes the stage,
    A musical journey, like a timeless page,
    Her drumming prowess, a skillful sage,
    Bringing Shakespeare's love to a modern age.
    The beat, it pulses, like hearts entwined,
    As Sina's talent, with passion, is defined,
    In every strike, a story is outlined,
    "Romeo and Juliet," reimagined and refined.
    Through thunderous rolls and cymbal's clash,
    She paints their love, like a vivid flash,
    With each beat, emotions in a mad dash,
    A tribute to the tragic love they stash.
    So let us applaud this musical feat,
    Where Shakespeare's words and Sina's beat,
    In perfect harmony, they both meet,
    A rendition of love, both bittersweet.

I can only speak for myself, and while I often will close my eyes while listening to music, the draw of RUclips is watching the performers at their craft. Watching the artist’s skills, including their expression is part of the experience. Whether it is the concentration, or the smile relaying their enjoyment of the music, it adds to the performance. Occasionally I see you flash this little smile of “success”... or maybe just “YES!”, and I find myself smiling as well. You are incredibly talented, but don’t shy from showing YOU.

    I'm from Russia, from deep Siberia. Since my youth, I love the work of Mark Knopfler. Thank you for reminding me of him. You're a very pretty young lady. I wish you creative success and success in your personal life!!! If you want I will send you a photo of our wonderful magical Siberian nature.

    Thank you, Sina, For another beautiful Dire Straits drum cover. I don't believe Romeo and Juliet was as popular in the U.S. as other places in the world but you did an amazing job. As far as Sultans of Swing, In my opinion, it's one of your greatest drum covers. I think you know this, haters are going hate but numbers don't lie and 28M views tell me you gave one outstanding performance!!!

    Once again a truly outstanding drum cover by Sina, this time with "Romeo And Juliet" one of many top-class Dire Straits classics. And not only that: with Pick Withers, she is taking an extremely deserved tribute to an excellent and wrongly underrated drummer of Melodic Rock. But I think that the time has come to thank all those without whom these outstanding videos would not have been possible. On the one hand there is Sina's dad, whose video work is always a real pleasure, and on the other hand there are the many sponsors mentioned in the credits, without whom the financing of such a video would certainly be much more difficult, if not impossible. For me it is crystal clear: Sina is the best female drummer in Europe!

    Brilliant as ever.
    For the record, there was never anything wrong with covering Sultans of Swing in the style of Terry Williams. The drum part on Alchemy is fantastic. Anyone criticizing you for appreciating and emulating that is being silly.

    Magnificent rendition, Sina! Again it's hard not to notice your perfect sense of timing with the right accents (or should I call it stick to surface angles of incidence) and the right energy at every strike, it's just perfect and, I believe, not easy to emulate :)

    Ich habe es jetzt schon so oft angesehen - es ist einfach so wunderschön. Das Stück zieht einen so in seinen Bann, dass man genau so konzentriert zuschaut, wie Sina am Schlagzeug sitzt. Aber spätestens das Lächeln bei 4:03 zaubert einem dann selbst ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. 😍 Großartig.

  • @neuschnee1983
    @neuschnee1983 4 года назад +2

    Congratulations Sina! Thank you again for your great drum covers and this time for a great tribute to Pick Withers, the co-founder and original drummer of Dire Straits. (.. for some, the story only starts from Money for Nothing and Brothers in Arms, which of course is not true ..) Romeo and Juliet is a really difficult task and typical Pick Withers. The drums almost become part of the melody. Withers succeeds in placing very unique and very musical drum accents on the first 4 albums of the Dire Straits, which are heavily supported by guitar and vocals, and also put a percussive stamp on the pieces. What is special about his playing is that the drums do not provide a basic rhythm in the conventional sense, but rather act in a jazz-oriented, soloistic manner and become an independent part of the melody structure. For the song Sultans of Swing e.g. (see also Wikipedia) Pick Withers developed a very special drum groove, which is characterized by the hi-hat and cymbal work, almost playfully, matching the song theme, between rock and swing. This is very unique in rock music until the end of the 70s and just as with bands like Cream, Deep Purple or The Police an incredible statement for the instrument drums.
    After the album Love Over Gold, Pick Withers' musical direction of Dire Straits became too rock-heavy and he left the band to pursue other projects.
    Thank you Sina for this great original version of Romeo and Juliet! Keep on drumming!

    Dire Straits…how about it, one of my favourite. But there is this song of Santana “Black magic women” which comes to mine mind watching you performing one delightful piece of music after the other accurate at high level. My accent lays in “magic women”, that’s why you enchant me more and more. In the meantime I watch/listen to your clips to relax and reminisce after work. Never bored to repeat. It works incredibly well for me, no other ingredients or therapist are needed. Not sure about an addiction… and if so, what a superbly one, right. Thanks so much Sina.

    Thank you Sina. This was the song I had played at my wifes funeral in 2011 after her suicide. She was bipolar and an awesome artist with a bachelors degree in fine arts. There was no medium of arts she couldn't create in other than music and acting (a degree all of their own). This was the song we both agreed we wanted played at our funeral no matter how old we were. She was only 45. You are so young and so accomplished. Thank you for choosing this song to play.

    'Romantically' lit, soft blur foreground camera angle is particularly nice. Making it all work together with Sina's great performances is a 3:29 for her dad. Ah hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Sina was a big part of the whole creative process as well. Great job, guys.

    Oh, was für eine Überraschung. Das lässt mich (Augen geschlossen) an tolle Zeiten zurückdenken, wo die örtlichen Lokalitäten noch Stücke wie diese im Hintergrund haben laufen lassen. Hatte schon lange verdrängt, wie beruhigend sich DS anhört / anhören kann. Und jetzt kann man auch dem "drummer" (`tschuldigung) bei "der Arbeit" zusehen -ein Extra-Bonus-. Super gemacht (wie immer). Vielen lieben Dank, Sina.
