Desert Tornado - The Aristocrats - HD Drum Cover by Devikah

This is my personal tribute to Marco Minnemann, a phenomenal drummer and an inspiration to me. What do you do when you're not selected as the replacement drummer for Michael Portnoy of Dream Theater? If you're Marco, you form your own band with equally talented musicians called The Aristocrats. Special thanks to Matthew Mason for providing me with some helpful pointers on covering this song.

Whaaaa. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm truly flattered. You sound great.

[Mr.pickles.]

Any creature that doesn’t love you has no pulse. A person just has to say wow. There is still beauty left in the world. Thank you for existing.

[jdperdomo]

Totally nailed it. And the You killed me with every smile.

That's right, I'm dead, and is your fault.

[JuanZurdo]

[ZippyLeroux]

Wow, personality infused through facial expressions and body language, while playing Minneman! I applaud you young lady!

[neronerve]

I keep finding myself coming back to this video because of just how badass this whole thing is, man, I can't even touch Marco's playing and you just demolished it! I know practice makes perfect, but I mean. I've been playing six years, starting at age ten, and just... Holy shit, I'm so glad this exists, glad to see other people in this generation who can appreciate great music and blend it into their personality! I'd say keep it up, but I think you've got this in the bag!

[MissAzul]

Awesome performance baby girl... U have great future on the drums! ; )

[fernandorneto]

For sure Marco will be proud when he watch you trbute! So as I am now! Congratulations! ;)

[JoshCussionlovesdrums]

Damn I've not seen anyone do justice to any of the Aristocrats or Marco minnemann's songs! U just did! Good going!! I'm a very huge Marco minnemann fan too by the

[lucaschacon]

Great performance, this is pure talent (and practice, I know)! I just went to The Aristocrats concert here in Chile two weeks ago and it was one of the best concerts that I've ever lived. Marco is one of the best drummers on this planet, and a very funny and down-to-earth guy. After the concert I tried to get a picture or sign from him but the security team didn't allow him. Instead he gave me a nice handshake and since that day I improved my drumming skills (+300% I think) and I haven´t wash my hand since that day. He told us the funny story of writing this song, and it was about a dumb german man living in USA and trying to escape from a tornado for first time in his life (sorry for my English, I'm just learning :P).

[csarkogler]

awesome performance... good band.. good drummer.

[ARDrummer]

Great job! You are a very talented drummer

[AerisVelivolus]

I can't believe that you play drums only since 2010. It can't be... Anyway:

You.
Are.
Amazing.

But most of all, you are an inspiration for us the drummers (even Marco is surprised!).
Keep rocking, for music's sake.

[ArielioJunior]

Oh my goodness! Always improving and surprising us, huh Devikah? It's tough to learn and play one of those but, as always, you nailed it! Keep rockin' girl!

[dkane]

So cool, you are extremely talented! :) Seen this on Marcos page, keep on rocking!!!


(also very cute haha)
