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.
Edit 2021, Oct. 28th
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 KZhead. At least until now... Thanks to everyone who watched this!!

#DireStraits #SultansOfSwing #DrumCover #Sina
Watch my latest Dire Straits cover here: kzhead.info/sun/ipFslM2bfGKIrHk/bejne.html Which one do you like better?
Hi Sina. You sure know how to ask tough questions:) Your latest DS cover I’ve watched many times the last few days. Having seen the same question there, that’s where I left a reply. Love the songs, and yes, in both videos, you are absolutely fantastic in all ways. You’re the best. Take care.
Got to be Sultans Of Swing, because that's the first Dire Straits record I bought.
Sina, I can't compare excellence to excellence. Keep on beatin' them bongos Lass and many thanks for all you do!!!
Sina, which one do you like better, and why?
Sultans of Swing. ❤
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
Yup you're right I was takin to memory lane hearing this again 👍🏼
She was brilliant, did close my eyes listening, lots of good memories and good times . It did take me back to a wonderful time in my young years
totally agree.. I am 50 and I appreciate Sina's talent... wish she would do more stuff with her sister though :D
Well spoken.
Agree..... CG
Hi! I'm from Germany, 79 years old and I love your kind of playing the drums - Incredible young lady!
Wish I was go back.50 years. Buitiful, so talented.
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.🎉😂
I love the little smiles she shows when she is in the groove!
This video just passed 60 million views(7/12/2022) and is still the most viewed drum cover on KZhead. Quite amazing for a video that is almost 6 years old and a song that is 44 years old. Congratulations Sina.
Sina!,Sina!, Sina!,Sina!, Sina!,Sina!, Sina!,Sina!, Sina!,Sina!,
She can include my 100 time watching that masterpiece, at least.
That’s Cause She’s The Best ., And Always Has That Groove Going ..
What a great accomplishment. Congratulations.
I’m sure the fact that she’s cute and a girl has nothing to do with it.
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....
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
Exactly. She killed it. I've been listening to Alchemy a lot and I was happy listening to thIs as well.
@@frankbrown6716😊
Cuando sientes nostalgia por un tiempo que ni siquiera has vivido, las canciones y las vibraciones son simplemente mágicas...😻
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: kzhead.info/sun/f7l8ZsydmHloq40/bejne.html

You are incredibly good, forget abt the jealous critics...
sina-drumgs geweldig
Love Your Style and YOU are really GOOD..Do You know the 12 Years old Asian Female Drummer..She is also dynamite like you..2 awesome Gals with different styles..Keep ON keepin on...
Shouldn't Pick Withers be called Stick Withers?? *snerk* I'll be here all week.
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 :)
What an absolute pleasure to hear this girl play drums being a drummer myself. Well done girl you are exceptional!!
You know she has played this song a thousand times and it just gets better.
How could 13 thousand ppl NOT like this? She rocks!
Be awesome and jealousy follows, always. Laws of nature.
Indiana
Yes she does rock
Pues porke mo saben escuchar buena 🎶 .... 😅😅😅.
13 thousans are deaf
Nothing is more satisfying than starting the day watching a young woman rocking away to classic rock music. Watching I see her joy and happiness with the result of her hard work and the music she can play. Gives me hope for the future of mankind.
Aren't we being a tat sexist here? Would you have posted the same remark (replace "young woman" with "young man") if it had been a boy of the same age performing the same drum skills?
@@GrumpyOldMan9 Come on little boy, the problem is there is no "young man" of the same age with these drum skills. So give her more Respect.

I too, started very very young I am 78 and still play BUT you kill it I can watch you play forever do not stop follow your dream
My favorite cover from Sina, such energy and talent.
Jos saisi kommentit suomeksi
Get this girl under contract. She's a killer drummer.
Сегодня.
I would imagine a whole lot of people will try to get her as you say "under a contract" with visions of getting rich from all her talent! Just look at those contracts really good and understand them before you sign anything Sina, make sure the right person's getting paid!
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.
40 Million is a Phenomenal Number!!! Congrats Sina!!! Super Stars hope for 40 Million
@@jerrybach1234 funny how an average drummer gets more views than Knopfler himself :)))
And 1 month later another 1.3 million views have been added.
@@michaelciancetta6397 Sina is not an average drummer. She is a student of drumming and understands the best version of this song was the "Alchemy" version. At 17 years old she produced a version that combined the two versions to produce the very best version.
Sina !!! The Best of the Best 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
Love it when people get together like this, one hell of a concert.
I'm a 52 year old musician and you nailed this. thank you so much regards marty
B boa de prato
The best drum cover of this song so far. Lovin’ it!
Pure talent at such a young age , this girl has a bright future in front of her
How can anybody give this a thumbs down this girl is good from one drummer to another u sound great sweetie and I've been playn for 50 years.....
Thumbs down in this case is for a thing called envy. She's amazing! Very blessed by God!
It just reflects the fraction of individuals with serious psychiatric personality disorders (3-4 % in this case). Probably combos of narcissists and psychopaths + perhaps a few other problems.
There’s not enough hours in the day too listen to this young lady play the drums!!!!!
I'm 62 and loving it girl keep banging the drums love it
This is the real deal this young lady is awesome, I've played professional pedal steel for many years and many stars from the grand old Opry, and with other studio musicians, rock, metal she is as good as it gets,
As a man who cannot rub his belly and tap his head at the same time I am mesmerised by this young lady's talent, well done you are obviously a superstar in the making.
You mean you've actually trues rubbing your belly and tapping your head b4? Your honesty and lack of embarrassment are truly remarkable. Kudos
Can I ask you something
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!!!!
SAME HERE !
Wow, this girl has talent! Great performance of one of my favourite songs.
I am well over 50 and over 60… I remember so well when this first came out. It’s so cool seeing young people enjoying too.. you are awsome!
I turn you on my Sony Soundbar, Windows shaking......Neighbors shouting as they go by..."Who is that BADASS DRUMMER"...ONE WORD.....SINA!! THANK YOU GIRL FOR CONTINUING TO ROCK MY WORLD!!!!!!!!!
Just recently became aware of Sina. What I have missed. She is amazing. Cannot stop watching and listening.
Welcome to the obsession.
My favorite is Bat out of Hell……Next would be Burn..
When i want to be happy, i watch this video again for four years. Thank you Sina. Great song and amazing cover.
Superbe la petite quel talent pour son jeune âge. Bravo
She plays top drummers in the music industry and she's so young. She could easily become one of the top drummers in the world in a very short time. What a treat it is to watch her play. Thanks, Sina!
Thank you!
It is a treat to watch you grow Sina! Your performance and your skill level is getting better with each video now. You so rock Sina!
There's no doubt that she is very talented and she also makes other youtube videos with other very talented young ladies.
Bom
Robert Driggers
A pure natural, she has the gift and that is a difficult song! Respect young Lady!
Amazing...no fabricated
Passing along the magic. I just gave this KZhead to a disabled someone... via the gal who was looking after him. She said he is blind and it looks like he is very disabled. But he does play the drums! I trust Sina's magic will do wonders.... Yup. Just passing along the magic.
Wow! That was amazing. How on earth can a human being do something like that is beyond me? When learnt to drive (in the UK) I had to learn how to steer, accelerate, use the clutch , change gears etc etc. I thought I'd never do it but I did and it now comes naturally. I suppose learning to play the drums is a similar process. The alchemy performance of Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits was unbelievable. What a performance!
OMG! I could listen to her on the drums forever. She's a genius with the sticks. Sultans of Swing is one of my favorite songs of all time - an enduring classic of all time - and a very difficult piece for both guitar and drums - and Sina nails it - perfectly! Amazing!
genius :)))))
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!
I think the track is designed to showcase Knoflers guitar parts and the drums are only supposed to back it and not be noticed. She said here shes doing a different composition here with more drumming than the of and also played as loud or louder than the guitar part.
Check Alchemy Sultans of Swing, the drums are unreal :) This cover is pretty good
Dans Alchimy sur ce titre Terry Williams est complètement déchaîné au point qu'il en fait sourire MK et le bassiste. Sina fait partie des excellents batteurs et sa palette est grande et variée. J'aime beaucoup ton travail Sina, continues comme ça, tu es super.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Baterista show 🙌👏👏👏
Your latest Dire Straits Walk of life is best, then money for nothing. incredible and lovely drummer you are, BRAVO❤
Now that's a woman who realizes the extra challenges of this track. She deserve extra credit.
For a young kid rocking to the 80s ... a blessing to see her drumming.. Absolute blessing..
+++ This drumtrack with SOOO many various Breaks is SOOO TRICKY. ( same tricky the guitar licks of Knopfler - one of the most underrated guitar players ) This little Girl , SINA , adapted this track PERFECT with all the "Swing drive" this masterpiece needs. DAMN - "Talent" has a new name : SINA ! Respect and best wishes from an old, badass, german Guitar shredder ! + + + Wayne / May 2022 *******************
I've never before heard Mark Knopfler described as "underrated". Surely he's been recognised for his talent for 40+ years?
@@hbp2m - In the 80th and beginning 90th Knopflers Music and his Guitar skills were rated in several MUSIC MAGAZINES. Always POSITIV and AMAZING. But "Comparing with the TOP TEN" ( Eddie van Halen, Jeff Beck, Barry Godreau, Joe Satriani, Brian May, Eric Clapton, and so on ) the journalists with no idea of Guitar playin - always voted Knopfler down. - + Same with STEVE STEVENS from Billy Idol who is a technical perfect FLAMENCO PLAYER or BILLY GIBBONS from ZZ TOP who is a "Lazy" Player - doin always only the "absolute neccesary" with 2 or 3 fingers - using open strings with Blues skills from Hendrix or B.B.King. At the side of Clapton - Billy Gibbons is THE SECOND "MR. SLOWHAND" ! - 30 Years with playin only 3 Chords - BUT DAMN - in 300 Variations. God bless "The Reverend".
Felicitaciones para esta baterista toca a la perfección
Wow, was für ein Talent, man merkt richtig das sie mit Leib und Seele Schlagzeug spielt, weiter so.❤❤
Essa "mocinha" é demais!!!... Tenho 74 anos... Fui baterista na época dos "anos 60", tocávamos nos famosos "bailes de garagem"... Não canso de vê-la tocar... PARABÉNS!!!...
Parabens pra voce tambein Edson!! 🤘💪
Depois de véi resolvi aprender esse instrumento. É desafiador a bateria. Que fera essa menina!!!
@@igrj2485 Olá!!!...IG RJ... Realmente, a "bateria" é um instrumento diferenciado... Ela e a guitarra "baixo" dão o ritmo... Além do "desabafo" que sentimos internamente, a cada batida... Coloque um fone de ouvido e vai acompanhando a música... Lógico que no meu tempo era mais fácil... Um "bumbo", uma caixa de "repique", "caixa média" , "prato" o "chimbau" e as "baquetas"... Por isso valorizo essa "mocinha"...com uma coordenação motora incrível!!!... Abraço, "Edson" 🎶🎵🎼
This young woman is incredible! 💙🎆How could anyone downvote this 😜
It's easy. On my laptop, I can just move the cursor over the thumbs down icon, and single click. ;-)
@John Ashtone No
A video of someone rescuing a puppy from a house fire would still have at least one down vote. It’s the world we live in sadly
Those are the ones who say they can play but can't! The 28mil views proves otherwise and plus we all know she's awesome!
Zoey Paige so true,lots of haters out there,they love to hate anything good.
Ты делаешь что-то невозможное. Эта песня всегда была моей топ-5. Благодаря тебе станет топ-1. Потрясающе, Sina!!!
💙 I Thank You for Your Videos, all of your Time & Dedication to Your Music, its always a pleasure hearing you," we Love it when you smiLe,..
It just floors me every time I see her play. Good job young lady!!!!
You are absolutely incredible
Exceptional , wow, how good is she going to be in years to come.
Sina has the greatest taste inn music! For her age, it's way impressive! It's awesome that the music I rocked out to when I was little, in the 70s and 80s still lives on!!! The music I listened to on 8 tracks in my dad's muscle car is the same music that is still loved!! To me that's amazing
As a 64 year old beginner guitar player that played drums in High School marching band i am practicing the guitar part. This gives me the extra boost to keep practicing and not give up. You are an awesome drummer & so cool to watch play any song. I will keep trying to learn guitar while watching & playing along with you....AWESOME SINA...!!!
Somones making me very happy, im steven and i love it reproduced correctly its beautiful ,,all of you did great❤❤❤❤
Wow, she's a "machine" on that set... And it's great seeing how much she enjoys playing...
She is absolutely brilliant and very confident . . . good for her
Sina you are very beautiful and can play the drums great
Hi Sina, I've been a musician since I was born. In my lifetime, I've seen millions of drummers, so I know very well when I see someone with natural talent. You are amazing! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dear Sina, You by far are the best drummer in this world, you are very, very, talented, I enjoy your playing, don't give up.....
One of the better drum tracks ever, she absolutely nails it.
Mis respetos, que bien lo hace
Your natural talent timing and energy moves me to my soul. Thank you sweet lady. I love the multi angle coverage. No faking there! Sina you rock.❤
Mit Sina & den Sultans swinge ich am liebsten. 🎶🎵🎶
THIS YOUNG LADY IS AMAZING AND TALENTED
This young lady is such a talent - she really is, my friend - she reminds me of Hal Blaine and also Kenny Aronoff, not mention Charlie Watts.
Another year has passed so I thought I would provide some of Sina's amazing numbers. Sultans remains the most viewed drum cover ever on KZhead with 53M views(10M more than #2), 11.9M came in 2021. Early in the year Sina made a decision to cut her posts in half because she had become overwhelmed with school and other obligations. Still, she ended the year with 10M more views than #2 (Drumeo), this was down from 70.3M in 2020. Sina has 11 videos with 10M or more views, only two others even have 7. She also has 75 videos with more than a million view, only Casey Cooper has more (6 more years on KZhead). Not too bad for a part time worker. Congratulations Sina.
Good job, Gregory. Love your statistics. Have a good and healthy New Year.
Thank you for bringing these facts to life for us. You have truly chosen to be a fan to such a degree as to tout her worth, value and talent in a crediting form and manner of which I wholeheartedly agree she is more that deserving. Sina is a drumming force to be reckoned with and it can be especially noticed if you have heard her drum for her own band originals which I'm certain you have. With all that said I can end with an additional fact I have seen develop through the years watching and listening. Sina is drop dead gorgeous.
@@kravmaga1632 Thank you for your kind words. As to your last comment, she does it without makeup or seductive dressing.
There are no words, simply amazing drummer you are Sina! wow! I listen to this song from you once a day and i'm amaze. God..........you're incrediblely more than perfect. You're a queen of drums!
I love this. She can bang on the drums all day. She is gifted. You go Sina. You go well.
This amazing Sina cover is now over 4 years old and of all her great covers it continues to be the most popular. 1.46 million views in October and over a million views in each of the last 4 months. Sina continues to have the most viewed drum channel on KZhead with 10.3 million views in October; 4 million more view than #2 and 8 million more views than Meytal. Great job Sina.
Thanks for the statistics, number geeks like me really appreciate it.
@@hbp2m Thank you for your comment. There are a number of Sina's die hard supporters who watch her numbers, but I think I'm the only one that tracks the top 30 drum channels on KZhead. So I can tell you that Sina is blowing them all away this year.
wonderful....

I'm here only to watch Sina play😊
Such a beautiful all natural young lady with gifted talent to boot so rare. God bless! ❤️🇺🇸🕊🙏🕊🇺🇸❤️
Это просто фантастика!!!!! Уникальная девочка с потрясающим чувством ритма!!!!! Видел много барабанщиков, но ей нет равных из всех!!! Сина- ты лучшая!!!!
Погугли группу "Гунеш" )))
Вспомнилась финальная сцена фильма "Одержимость" (Whiplash, 2014)Когда там парень соло на ударных наяривал). Здесь девочка на Свинге выдает около 320 bpm и это круто! А там педагог выбивал из парня все 400. Причем на ютюбе тоже есть такие видосы с 400 bpm. А в целом девчонка сыграла здорово.
Ну если много видел, значит надо было много и слышать)
Хочет быть как Sheila E. Круть!
а почему барабанщики так любят выкладывать видео как они играют? не первый раз уже натыкаюсь.
When you see an Artist perform with a smile ...then you know its REAL ....💕

I just can NOT get enough of this girls AMAZING talent !!!! She has a TRUE GIFT on those drums !!
I can't either, I found her site a few months ago, I play drums in a Christian band, I could only hope to 1/10th that good. Although one time playing at a rodeo bible camp, many young people were coming forward, we were playing Our God is Greater and I was pulling off runs I couldn't do.
Me either I just found her on metallica cover and she is amazing

I love you Sina..1000 %PURE TALENT...
As other fellow members, patrons, and fans have commented today, Congrats on this video clearing the 60Million view mark. This is truly a one of a kind cover with a backing track of the original version, but with the flair of your personal touch playing the drums more to the alchemy version inspired by Terry Williams. You've made it your own!!
Nuestra Princesa del Rock es inspiración pura!!!
Only want to see Sina. What a jewel.
Mark Knopfler is widely re regarded for being able to "make a guitar cry or sing", but Pick Withers is given nowhere near the recognition he deserves for this masterpiece. Technically challenging, yes, but more importantly, he just nails it musically. The two of them just work in synergy. I don't know what the drumming equivalent of "making it cry or sing" is, but this is it. And all without any hint of pretentiousness or showing off. A rare gem of a track.
YOU , my friend , nailed it ! That is the comment of all comments in this regard!
im pretty sure they were lyrics in this song actually...
Pick Withers? What planet you on bro ?
@@yerwot2937 A great drummer
I'm. Gonna. Start. Playing. Again. It's. Gonna. Take. A. Minute. Lol
Another gem by Sina. Not only is she technically great, but her feel is spot on. But most importantly, I see the joy she gets from playing - it shows in her face. And then that brings me joy when I watch these videos. So, thank you!
You got down I am not even gonna lie!!! Show the world your talent
