Baba O'Riley (The Who) Drum Cover

Playing The Who is one of my favorite things in the world. Even though it seems like there are no boundaries to what you can do it is almost impossible to overplay. Thanks for watching!

The intro starts and Sina walks to the drum kit. Intro's still playing. Sina sits down, puts her earphones in, adjusts her hair just so. And then at the perfect moment picks up her sticks and belts seven bells out of the drums and cymbals. Such style, such perfect timing in one so young!!!😄
Judging by your enthusiasm during the rest of the track and the smiles crossing your face I gather you enjoyed that. So did I. Not "almost good enough", absolutely perfect!

[Language_Guru]

Hi, Sina. I am someone who grew up as these songs were originally being released. Your choice of these songs is a testimony to their enduring musical worth. Your amazing talent as a drummer honors them. Thank you!!!

Sina is marvelous. She syncopates with the snare, bass and cymbals at the same time.

[PlumbPitiful]

There are other girl drummers on YouTube who more often than not are half naked and spend the whole song smiling and preening at the camera. Sina doesn't do that because she doesn't need to. She just sits down at her kit, brushes her hair out of her face, picks up her sticks and creates another masterpiece. When she smiles it's not because she's showing off for the camera. It's from the sheer joy of doing what she's doing. You're the best Sina! Don't ever stop 😀👍

I first heard about you in an interview with Neil Peart of the rock group "Rush". He mentioned that we should keep our eyes out for a young and upcoming new drummer from Germany named Sina Doering. That interview was many years ago while you were still very young, and he turned out to be quite right. Sina, I think you have it in you to to become one of the best and most respected drummers of all time.

Sina, as you said in the documentary Keith Moon was not your everyday drummer to put it mildly. How you master it so well is simply amazing and boggles my mind. The way you are able to memorize and get into such a perfect groove is astounding. You are truly a treasure to all of us. Take care!

[jjrevab]

“almost good” - Are you kidding? That was spectacular! The boat is rocking. You honor Keith Moon, and make those of us old enough to remember him very proud. Keep up the sensational work!

[RuleofFive]

I'm 60 years old. I remember when my older brother brought this album home. We loved it. I wondered how a young person now would respond to this kind of music...if they'd hate it or not. Keith Moon would be proud of you. You're very talented. Thanks for taking me back there.

Sina, I am a musician who saw the The Who live. All I want to say is you certainly did your homework. Incredibly and masterfully played.

[YayComity]

"Almost good enough" is one of the best phrases ever. It's the perfect balance of what Sir Lawrence Olivier described as the secret to success "the humility to prepare and the confidence to pull it off"

When I think of Sina, her history and her upbringing and personal character that comes through on her channel as well as how she approaches classic rock music, other musicians, and her followers, all I see is class, someone trying to be her best, doing it the right way, and with the confidence that she's really good, but always humble enough to honor those who came before her and want to do them justice. Almost good enough is the attitude of someone who is almost the best. Less than three.

It ain't easy pulling off Keith Moon's style. She even captures the little twittles in between measures. Super talented Sina!

[FloydHarris-zwxd]

Hey, I'm 69. I first grooved to this song when I was a freshman in college at 19 YEARS OLD!! This gal is so good ... imagine how she wasn't even BORN when these classics hit the air!!

Watched again today - Its Brilliant. Being a Who fanatic and loving this track for over 50 years, and seeing them play it live again this past October, I always enjoy Zak Starkey's performance to carry-on what Keith created. The one wish I have now, is since The Who is still performing this year on your side of the pond, they give you an opportunity to bring this to life for the privileged patrons that can see them and you perform some of their tracks. I'm so positive Zak would not mind a break during the show. You are brilliant Sina

[vladimpaler]

You make us old Who fans smile with a tear in our eyes.

[kenmurray]

There are a number of female drummers out there, but you are the best not only by talent to play the drums, but the expression on your face when you were playing these different songs tells me you were very much into it. Dedication is everything.

[opahogie]

One of my absolute favourite songs from my favourite album of my youth. Every track on the album is a drumming masterpiece. So glad you did this one!!!

[auralsonicwaves]

You play with such intensity, but never overshadowing musicality and artistry. Love watching and listening to you play.

[andersfalck]

Absolute high mark. So much energy into this performance, every fish in that river was rocking to this video recording. And on top of all: decorative lights on your kit. Rock on! Always fun to get carried away of your covers, this one for sure !

[CobraJet]

I love how you so casually walk up, sit down, arrange your earpieces, toss your hair back, and then ROCK!!!

[guidder]

Watching Sina play makes me once more realise what a beast Keith Moon was. Dude was a legend.
