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.

This video launched 5 years ago today and it seems (I think..?) with 51,066,299 views, it's the most-watched drum cover on YouTube. At least until now... Thanks to everyone who watched this!!

    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.
  • @Joe-hk4pv
    Truly the most amazing drummer ever. There’s hardly any song she can’t play. Even some of the hardest songs to play, she’ll nail them down like she’s played it a million times. It’s hard to give her enough support
  • @lobito162
    Hi! I'm from Germany, 79 years old and I love your kind of playing the drums - Incredible young lady!
  • 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 covers......love you girl and keep it up....
  • @leenickell
    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 :)
  • @dannyramirez890
    She reminds me of the drummer on the original Sultan of Swing.I'm 74 years young and Sina makes me feel like a teenager again.🎉😂
  • @sina-drums
    Hey everyone, thanks so much for checking this out! There's a lot of confusion though because my drum part is based on the 80s Alchemy Live Performances of Dire Straits with Terry Williams on drums. This is NOT MEANT TO BE a cover of the original studio drum part as recorded by Pick Withers. I also did a quick tutorial which also refers to the Terry Williams version: https://youtu.be/LUC6heaG2xU

    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.
  • @user-bz1wz6nu8l
    I love the little smiles she shows when she is in the groove!
  • @johanda2000
    What an absolute pleasure to hear this girl play drums being a drummer myself. Well done girl you are exceptional!!
  • @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!!!!
  • @RicCrouch
    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!
  • Such a beautiful all natural young lady with gifted talent to boot so rare. God bless! ❤️🇺🇸🕊🙏🕊🇺🇸❤️
  • @kolotripitha69
    You know she has played this song a thousand times and it just gets better.
  • Just recently became aware of Sina. What I have missed. She is amazing. Cannot stop watching and listening.
  • Cuando sientes nostalgia por un tiempo que ni siquiera has vivido, las canciones y las vibraciones son simplemente mágicas...😻
  • @steffenk8467
    As a huge Dire Straits Fan myself… there is only one word: wow… she killed it… absolutely fantastic. Mark Knopflrr would be honored to play along with Sina
