Sultans Of Swing (Dire Straits); drum cover by Sina

For this drum cover I played along to a drumless track of the original studio version but I like the energetic Alchemy Live version better. So this is my tribute to Terry Williams, the great Dire Straits drummer throughout the 80s, I'm a fan! However, I did not cover his Live drum part note for note but I played in the style of Terry Williams.

If you are over 50 and you are sitting there watching and enjoying Sina's music you are truly lucky and fortunate. But, I highly recommend you get into a comfortable position close your eyes and let the music flow over you. Try it you will soon be taken back to your youth when the music was new. Memories long forgotten will come flowing back into your concious, that old girlfriend, old boyfriend old friends you hung out with places long forgotten. Her music is a trip down memory lane. We have a lot to thank Sina for namely making us feel young again. THANK YOU SINA

This video just passed 60 million views(7/12/2022) and is still the most viewed drum cover on YouTube. Quite amazing for a video that is almost 6 years old and a song that is 44 years old. Congratulations Sina.

I'm 65 years old young lady. The song was made when I was your age now. True Rock. We did it right. and I can see you feel it too. Keep on Keeping on :)

Cuando sientes nostalgia por un tiempo que ni siquiera has vivido, las canciones y las vibraciones son simplemente mágicas...😻

[midaztouch]

How am I only just seeing this now?!?!? I’m smiling from ear to ear. She’s amazing and so darn cool. And this is my era!! Keeping the music alive!!!!

[NelsonFrench-yugh]

I hope you see this comment. I have been beating on my steering wheel for 50 years and when I saw you destroying these drums, I went and bought me a pearl roadshow kit. I watch you all the time and i'm so inspired. I'm 63 years old and i'm on my way with the drum you girl and keep it up....

Ich schaue mir dieses Video immer wieder aufs Neue an.
Haut mich jedes mal vom Hocker.
Gerade dieser Song zeigt das unglaubliche Talent dieser Powerfrau.
Der Mix aus Spielspaß, konzentrierter Anstrengung, Freude aber auch Leichtigkeit in ihrem Gesichtsausdruck ist fazienierend.
Ich wünsche dieser jungen Dame alles Gute auf ihrem Weg.
Viel Erfolg und ein glückliches Leben .
Grüße!

As a guitar player, this song has been one of my favorites for over 40 years. But I’ve got to be honest—I’ve never really even NOTICED the drum part before. This video makes me wonder why I haven’t—it’s pretty awesome!

Блииин... Какая же она молодец! Сколько драйва и позитива в ее игре... И, чувствуется, что она сама очень гордится собой, она в своей стихии...

This video passed 40 million view tonight(12/04/2020). It has averaged 1.3 million views per month for at least the past 6 months. Sina has grown and become an even better drummer in the past 4 years, but her magic was here from the beginning.

[rodolforamos]

I too, started very very young I am 78 and still play BUT you kill it I can watch you play forever do not stop follow your dream

[drakon_gold]

Это просто Уникальная девочка с потрясающим чувством Видел много барабанщиков, но ей нет равных из всех!!! Сина- ты лучшая!!!!

[josephwall]

Just recently became aware of Sina. What I have missed. She is amazing. Cannot stop watching and listening.

[haraldklein]

Ich bin absolut geflasht, bin 66 Jahre alt, durch dich bin ich wieder in der Größten Rock und Pop Zeit gelandet. Chapeau Sina.

[JacobDean]

Sina has the greatest taste inn music! For her age, it's way impressive! It's awesome that the music I rocked out to when I was little, in the 70s and 80s still lives on!!!
The music I listened to on 8 tracks in my dad's muscle car is the same music that is still loved!! To me that's amazing

[edjohnson]

Never seen her before. First time. Im a 55 year old Dire Straits fan. That girl just blew me away. Amazing.

[spgtenor]

Another gem by Sina. Not only is she technically great, but her feel is spot on. But most importantly, I see the joy she gets from playing - it shows in her face. And then that brings me joy when I watch these videos. So, thank you!

[ColmanSoudier-fzby]

J’ai adoré ce morceau à sa sortie en 1978, beaucoup pour le jeu de guitare . Là je me rends compte qu’il y a également un sacré travail de batterie . Merveilleusement mis en lumière par Sina . Merci pour ce bon moment .

[dougiemui]

For a young kid rocking to the 80s ... a blessing to see her drumming..

Absolute blessing..

[johanda]

What an absolute pleasure to hear this girl play drums being a drummer myself. Well done girl you are exceptional!!
