I love Paul Simon's music and this song in particular. Also, it was such a challenge to learn one of the most iconic grooves by Steve Gadd!

Glorious!

[@Pascalsmit1971]

I play drums myself but this track is beyond next level. Steve Gadd is iconic! And so is this cover...amazing!! Perfect!

[@2028end]

nailed it!

[@TENCUHTLI]

I think the drums on this song was way ahead of its time and she covered it so perfectly!

[@terryguire1321]

It didn't seem that this was a popular video. Too bad, many people missed a great performance. The song has great snare and symbol work. The drums really make the song. Well done, Chiara!

[@fernandorneto]

You did perfectly that iconic groove of the master Steve Gadd! So Glad to see your drumming level grow as so the number of subscribers of this channel! Keep up the great work you're doing! :)

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thanks a lot as usual, you're very kind! 😊

[@pctips4all]

Absolutely perfect! So smooth! Great playing as always! Thanks for sharing this awesome cover! 😊😊🤗

This is a great classic song by Paul Simon and Chiara, you nailed it perfectly.. What great rendition of this song by you. Thank You

[@DanyMeyer]

Great work Chirara!!!

[@kennethruley2561]

FABULOUS! I cannot stop watching your videos. You always make this guy smile!

[@craigzolkowski5396]

I don't know how one could give this a thumbs down. Steve Gadd is definitely on the list of being one of the greatest drummers ever. Playing some of the drum parts he dreamed up is very difficult. Great job on being consistent and solid during the transitions. The entire song was done well! From one drummer to another you are an accomplished musician.

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thanks a lot Craig! I don't care about thumbs down! 😉😄

[@craigzolkowski5396]

Chiara Cotugno You shouldn't care. Obviously drumming is a deep passion for you. It shows in your videos. (Another compliment: You have excellent stick control. 😀👍🏻)

[@texasstuff1281]

@@ChiaraCotugnoDrums Good for you!

[@someperry7263]

No matter what genre Ms. C plays, it is always so precise. But the best thing is that the playing has feelings and interpretation -- it's not just clinical, technical play through.
