Tubular Bells (Mike Oldfield) + drum part by Sina

My Tribute to one of the greatest Instrumentals in Rock. Mike Oldfield recorded Tubular Bells mainly all by himself at the age of 19. It was released in 1973 (actually the very first release of the newly founded company Virgin Records).Throughout the years the album sold 17 M copies worldwide.

I used to listen to this piece without drums and I loved it that way. So it took sometime to take this adaptation in. But now I’m fascinated by this skilful master whose hands are weaving golden threads of silk on cymbals. The occasional hits on snare and tambourine and cascades of rolls are well planned or instinctive bursts of Sina’s creativity. Either way par excellence! Her footwork towards the ending is a delight to see and hear. This is a brave achievement and success! Hopefully Sina will keep this video here for ages to come✨

Sina you are a breath of fresh air.I am 80 years old and play drums guitar and piano.Dont ever stop!!

[SegwayStan]

The important thing to realize is that this piece of Mike Oldfield's music does not have any drums in it. So, Sina has composed and played this as an addition to the original, not a replaying (or cover) of an existing drum track. I have listened to this piece hundreds or thousands of times over the years and consider it to be perfect. However, Sina has improved on it in the best way possible!!!

Sina you are the best thing too come along in years. We can tell you put your heart into every song you play. I am a 69 year old man and when I put. on your music I feel like a teenager again because of all the songs from my era you play. You could'nt possibly know what that means to a old man. Talk about uplifting. I live in a veterans nursing home and I have been telling these guys about you and they are all thankful for you. We even had a few nights where they hooked up a sound system so we could all sit in the rec room and watch your videos and enjoy the music. We all agree you make us feel young again and as the nurses have stated you have built the moral and made life great again for us. Thanks, to you and all the great people you play with.

Thank you Sina for giving me this completely unexpected sound for this piece of music.
When I first heard Tubular Bells, I was 16 years old. Today I'm 63 ... :-)
Whether Deep Purple or The Sweet, you are there with a "Janis Joplin soul"!
That's why I love you.
You really are an old soul. The transmission of the spirit with the help of the youth - that takes the world further. That makes us healthy and helps! Thanks!

About three years ago I Googled 'Tubular Bells' to revisit Mike Oldfield's classic album; and the rest is history as they say. As I recall, the second search result read "Sina-Drums" drum cover. My curiosity was piqued. At the time I had no idea that drum covers were even a thing. The whole body and mind concentration exhibited in this video by Sina just blew me away. It showed her true appreciation for the music she was playing. That was a few years ago, yet I am still hooked on Sina. BTW. it's not actually a drum cover. The original "Tubular Bells" does not even have a drumming component. What is contained in this video is Sina's own original 'licensed' drum composition; and it's still as refreshing to listen to now as it was a few years ago.

this young lady never ceases to amaze me. thank you for sharing your talents with all of us, your fans.

[danahorton]

She has this down !!!!... I am still amazed again after watching over and comparing . The gift that was given to Sina is wonderful and i hope we can all enjoy it for many years to come .

[bobgrossman]

Sina I recently viewed a half dozen other young ladies who play the drums and they’re quite good A few of them are really good but they all seem to be focused on one genre and none of them are even close to the level of your playing or close to your understanding of music and versatility of all types and styles of music you are truly gifted I’m confident that you young lady are going down in history as one of the best drummers of all time I think you know this already and there’s proof I’m reading all the comments from the older musician, the retired musicians who have spent their entire lives mastering their music abilities and we’re all in aw of your accomplishments at such a young age I love your playing thank you for all the great music you gave us I we really appreciate it

[classicrockdefender]

This indeed is a great contribution to this wonderful composition by Mike Oldfield. Hope the master himself listens to this someday.

[dennisman]

My favorite video of Sina. She is super talented.

[lake_michi]

Again here I'm, listen again. Fan of Mike Oldfiled since I was young. This is one of my all time favourites on her channel. 😊

[gregorytangalos]

Went out with a woman that was Hopi Indian....she studied me and said my soul had been on this planet a long long time, that was why I was so good at so many
I don't exactly know why ....but I feel this with you....
You are a genus and have not realized it ....keep truckin on ...dont ever stop...😌😌😌💝💝💝

[gavincowen]

Its great to see that younger people still get to experience this music. Im sure Mike would be proud. Well done

[andrewdean]

Absolute perfection. You have composed a masterpiece on top of another and that is extraordinary. I love Mike Oldfield's music, I have every album. Please make more like this Sina, outstanding work.

[jimmienewman]

Just a passing observation. As good as Sina and friends are I suspect that few people appreciate how important a great sound technician is to any work. A "sound guy" can over crank every channel till you just have mud. A Sound Tech understands how the ear relates sounds to the brain. In this piece you can hear ever instrument crisply. Nothing is drowning out the other. This is appreciate in all Sina's covers. That takes talent. I thank whoever is working the board for these great artists.

[jameshergan]

Those of us who listen to Sina's music are very fortunate. But, to really enjoy her music, I recommend you get yourself into a comfortable position close your eyes and let the music flow. over you. Your conscious will soon take over and take you back when this music was new. You will begin to remember old girlfriends, old boyfriends, old friends you hung out with and places long forgotten. Her music is like a trip down memory lane. THANK YOU SINA!

[williamcremean]

Every day this example of real innovation in music is available someone jumps up to criticize it and every day that happens I play it even more. Sina always credits Mike Oldfield as the genius behind this innovative piece of music. I will continue to credit Sina for a beautiful and innovative adaption to a wonderful piece of music.

[Marcosguimaraesdias]

You do not need any more praises. You are a master musician as you heartily feel it and liberty your talent to amuse us. Love it.

[HistDean]

To be able to produce and play a drum part for this iconic instrumental shows the incredible understanding for music that this young woman possesses.
This is such a great interpretation! Excellent job Sina!
