Panama (Van Halen); drum cover by Sina

I'm often asked 'Sammy or Dave?' Hey, they are both unique and I'm a fan of both but does anybody live on this planet who is cooler than Diamond Dave?

This is really meant for your dad.
Just want to thank him for all that he has done to support you and helping you develop into the wonderful girl that you have become.
I know there are many that will complain and try to compare you to other drummers. But I have enjoyed each and every clip, watching you grow further in your talent. Your smile shines, not all that often, but when it sunshine.
Thanks for keeping all my favorites alive with your covers.

I have been playing for about 30 something years and I KNOW TALENT WHEN I SEE you are a breath of fresh air. Groove to die for and lovely technique. I was breaking down the pre chorus for panama and knew there was more to it than I could Thankyou for the cover. Saved me heaps of effort. I hope to see you with a drum endorsement one day if not already. Keep kicking arse young lady... you rock. !!!

Love the way when she smiles...like she's saying..."this is too easy....gimme something hard to play!" You rock Sina!!!

[dennism]

She is fantastic I’ve been in the music industry for 26 years and the passion she plays with is impressive to say the least. The choice of music is not surprising to me it is the best type of music to show case your extreme talents very well done young lady keep playing form the soul there is no other way to play but to feel it. The audience knows when it comes from the soul and they will respond accordingly. Keep playing

Sina - the drummer with the Mona Lisa smile. Good job.

I listen daily to a Classic Rock as well as to an 80’s Radio station. After watching so many covers of familiar tunes by Sina, I’ve often said to myself when hearing these tunes on the radio, “There’s Sina”, “There’s Sina”... “There’s Sina, Again!” If any of these bands ever need a “fill-in” she would fit “Right In” and never miss a beat! Excellent Work, Sina ! Well Done, as I’ve always posted !

[alexandercunningham]

My father and uncle used to play together, guitar and drums respectively. My father used to swear to be a good drummer you had to be a little crazy. I don't know about that but after 40 years I do know good music when I hear it. You have a tremendous gift young lady, never give up, never give in!!!

[artbymeu]

Girl you have some serious talent! I’m always amazed how drummers can do so many different things all at the same time!

[burgbuilds]

This is sick. makes me want to play drums again! thanks for the inspiration!

[jyrivirtanen]

This IS great Sina. The best sounds of The 80s: Eddie's guitar. Grreat vocals! And Sina IS excellent rock'n'roll motor. Smashing cover!!

[gman]

When you play what you love it translates in your performance. Van Halen obvious is one of your favs. Keep em coming Sina! This is one of your best! Thanks!

[gmfd]

This is the best way to listen to classic rock. Sina on drums and the drums turned up in volume. And of course Sina's smile.

[ajredaelli]

Awesome song and it looks like you had a blast playing the drums on this one. Van Halen and Sina = you guys ROCK!

[gregedens]

L love to watch you play drums you are....easily one of the greatest at what you

To appreciate this video best, first watch her early take on "Jump" when she was a mere 14. Definitely competent -- nay, more than competent, flat-out excellent. No wonder it has four and a half million views. But then watch this one! 18 or nearly so (not sure when the birthday was) She's definitely grown up a lot in about four years. Now there's power, on top of the excellence. She's got her whole body moving, adding leverage as well as accent. Technically she's better, too. Note a few spots where each limb is handling a different rhythm (:13, 2:12, 2:20). And she has it all in her head, doing it instinctively. We're getting beyond young competence and into outright mastery. I've been watching her for about a year, and it's fascinating to watch her evolve. And she's enjoying it!

[Retiredmco]

Sina told you while back that Alex Van Halen would be proud of your playing. Your amazing, can't wait to see you on tour here in the States.

I have to admit that these videos are a little bit hypnotic. Watching this young woman absolutely crush the drum parts for these rock anthems is quite an experience. She is is obviously a) extremely talented, b) extremely hard working, and c) a big fan of the music she is playing. She is demolishing gender stereotypes, age stereotypes, and is really educating people about what goes in to creating a drum part for these pieces of music. I think also that you can tell that she has had proper instruction in drumming - her technique is unbelievable. Keep up the good work.

[SamTeLoCuenta]

I completely love this girl! So talented and the best taste in music!
