The Warning "My life would Suck & Creep"🇲🇽 Covers by Paulina Villarreal | DaneBramage Rocks Reaction

[@davidp2888]

That “YES!!” at the end of Creep is so satisfying. Have you seen the new video where Pau sings Breathe live and breaks down at the end? It’s so special. She’s an icon…at 21.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

It got me going, I love her reaction to herself 😄 There will be more and I'm stoked for this "All about drummers" series!

[@elgonwilliams7624]

The Creep cover was in response to a challenge. I believe she learned it in about four hours. So, that's the reason behind the ending. Pau's voice is quite an instrument!

[@davidp2888]

Correct.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Fantastic! Thanks for that!

[@kevenbridges9433]

I had heard an hour and a haft. But I can't confirm it.

[@mikewasko4964]

Ya , the challenge was 4 hrs or less , Pau did it in around 3 hrs and this vid was her 3rd or 4th try. I forget the exact numbers

[@mikewasko4964]

Let's go over some facts here. Pau does not have an optimal voice for singing. A raspy voice is extremely difficult to control even to just carry a note let alone carry a note with vibrato. I'm not a singing expert but I can tell you dont hear alot of great singers with a raspy voice for a reason. 1st of all its very hard to control like I said previously but it is also very painful. It's hard to imagine what Pau went through to get to this point. Most people with a raspy voice will get to a certain point and stop , Pau must have really wanted it and suffered though the pain and extra work in just to be an avg singer and then pushed through more pain to be a great singer. Her dedication and determination blows my mind. All this paid off because she now has one of ghe most unique and beautiful singing voices I've ever heard. Just amazing and she has the same dedication on the drums and her lyrics. I'm not sure what her IQ is but I bet it's on the genius side of the spectrum. She's borderline super human or something lol..I dont think we have even seen just what Pau can actually do in the music world and I truely believe before she's done she will have changed the music world upside down.

[@harrybroaddus846]

Pau did this March 2020 so 18 years old. Done after the quarantines for COVID started. Yes, March 2020 just a bit before the band's Quarantine Concert (live) March 25, 2020.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

18!!! Dang, girl looked young. But, as I get older it gets harder to tell how old people are, LOL.

[@grahamhiggins3457]

It is actually an instagram challenge done the day of release during COVID. She gave Paetrons a challenge what should she sing. This was chosen and she took about 4 hours to learn it and then did the song live on instagram. She was I think 18.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

This is Awesome and yes, most responses indicated she was 18!

[@phsjockstrap]

She is the best singing drummer ever. I don't know a lot about drums but I have watched hundreds of reaction videos and many current and former drummers say she has the best footwork and crossovers since Keith Moon.

Knowing she was 10 for this Clarkson cover, is mind blowing, but...... She has a drum cover of Hanna Montana at age 7!! Cuteness overload!! Learning Creep and sharing it in under 4 hours for that social challenge was crazy, but to do it as she did, unfricking Real! Locurra! 🤘

The story on the drum cover is that a camera failed on the 1st take and she was quite upset. Her mom came into “the cave” to support her during the 2nd take. Around 4:20 ( on your video) you can see mom’s foot tapping along in the upper left of the frame.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I did see that ebcause she was barefoot also! I thought it was one of her family or coach! Their support system is AMAZING!

[@davidp2888]

Earlier this year I saw an interview where Pau says she prefers to be barefoot when drumming so she can feel the music. Obviously she doesn’t do that in concert because stage floors are disgusting.

[@randymarple9830]

[@chabirandjeanmarc7032]

In the upper left corner of the video you can see a foot. it is Mony'foot (her mother) because just before Pau had already recorded the song but the cameras had broken down and Pau had burst into tears and was very dejected so her mother told her to start again and that she was there for it. sustain. Pau started playing drums at 6 years old. there is a video (the first video ever shown of a warning member) where she is 7 years old and plays and sings at the same time Creep was recorded during the pandemic lockdown . She asked her community to choose a song she can play . Creep was chosen. She play after few hours of rehersal the yes was a yes of "i've made it' Creep was really recorded during the pandemic. pau has her 2 light locks in her hair and she has them during the pandemic concert in the warning cave and again in September when she starts recording ERROR

[@mt4design2]

What can you say? Perfection. Pau not only sings the lyrics she lives them...giving us the emotion behind every single word. Her ability to go from powerful delivery to soft, almost whisper and all in pitch? That's just a natural gift. There is so much texture in her vocals. I've seen this a few dozen times and I get goosebumps and it hits me every time. As for her 10 year old drummer video...can you imagine teachers told her she was too small and wouldn't take her back when she was 6? Thank you to that teacher who did say, "Just leave her. She'll be fine." Was it Beto Ramos who taught this legend?

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I think it was Beto. At least that is who still coaches her today so I would hope so. But yes, she came into her own. All the girls did really because look how small Ale was when she picked up a bass guitar, my got it drowned her LOL.

[@ronhall5395]

Not sure who her first teacher was. It's do know she has had several over the years. Beto is more like a tutor rather than an instructor at this point. Also as close friend of the Band.

[@northof4912]

Creep cover - is amongst the best covers ever. That is what I think.

[@marktaylor1799]

No makeup, Pau is still very young but I think she was 18 in this video.

Check out a drum duet that Pau did with Hit Like A Girl drum champ Faith Benson! I think Pau was one of the judges, and the composition she played along with Faith was created by Faith - it is really awesome to watch the two of them!

[@alexj9603]

I don't think she was a judge in this competition. But the was the "face" of HLAG in that year, i.e. there was an awesome photo of her on the poster. And then she got to play that duet with the winner. Recommended view!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I have that saved actually and believe it or not, that was one of the videos that inspired this series!

[@lonelywind3511]

@@alexj9603 she was the face but was also asked to be a judge closer to the competition date for a specific age group. She was not one of the original judges for that year. She had been aware of the competition before but said she was too nervous to compete. Hard to believe since Pau is definitely an Alpha personality but as a matter of fact she has been her biggest critic at times as well and can still be overwhelmed. Earlier this year she won a vote from Modern Drummer as the 2023 Up and Coming Drummer of the Year.

[@WaldoKitty]

as i understand it, Pau also learned her part of this duet while on the plane flying there... something about not having it before the flight... whatever little time she had to learn it was well worth the investment... it is a fantastic duet... TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

[@sergiodelatejaytejeda]

They have a formidable innate talent, each one of them. Innate but with practice taken to the sublime. Despite their youth, they already have a lot of experience on their path in addition to their great preparation since they were children. Their attitude, discipline and will to achieve their goals are leading them to great, well-deserved achievements. They are still on the road to the top, but with too much potential, enough to think it will be inevitable. Furthermore, the volume of quality that each of their creations implies is great… and the number of songs that carry said quality is enormous, which for me could be “The Warning label.” I’m sure that each of their creations is subjected to a meticulous quality process before finally seeing the light… And not only in the technical aspect, but we have also already proven that they have an exquisite taste for good music that emanates from them when they become inspired and creative. Added to all this is that they are surrounded by an excellent family and fraternal team totally committed to their project… And they have a fan base, “The Warning Army”, tremendously loyal to them that is decisively involved in supporting them because they have deservedly earned it for being incredible and surprising human beings. Knowing this will give you a much better perspective to better value DPA, and maybe you will understand that TW is not just a band of talented girls who make good songs… No, it's about music, really art with the brilliance of a "masterpiece" created and performed by three genius performers from an early age who have been developing and evolving by leaps and bounds. The beauty of their art lies in its simplicity. Each of these amazing rock masterpieces must be appreciated in all its dimensions and then be surprised again that they are creations of those who have wonderful talent but who, due to their age, still have much more talent to develop. They are already admirable but their potential increases exponentially as they achieve success. As long as all this continues to flow with this equation they will soon reach the top of the world where they deserve to be. We're always looking for more from our favorite band of all time.

Pau started drumming at age 6. She had four years under belt during the Kelly Clarkson video. Creep was done on the family piano in their living room. That piano is famous in Warning lore as it is always slightly out of tune like an old timey honky tonk piano. It was on this piano that Breathe was recorded.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I have heard of this piano!! Love it.

[@joetaptaco]

Hi. Everlong cover by TW is a great example of Pau's early talent behind the kit. If you want to go off the deep end with drummers, I suggest Louis Cole. Check out "Overtime" by his band Knower, or "Hell" by Clown Core. They're wild and delicious in a jazz/funk alternate dimension kind of way.

This was my introduction to The Warning

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Awesome introduction

[@carlossaraiva8213]

Paulina's actual superpower besides her music talent is she is an excellent multitasker. She and her parents learned very early on she has excellent coordenation. All the 3 Villareal sisters have that too, as it is needed to be both an instrumental player and singer at the same time, but Paulina takes it to a greater extreme. Paulina is one of the few people who can genuinely multitask. Most people who multitask believe they can do it but actually cant and end up being mediocre on many things instead of being competent at one thing.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Agreed with all of this. I favor drummers as it is but she gives me a good reason why I continue to love drummers. Especially her. She can do it all and is good at all she does! Cheers!

[@carlossaraiva8213]

@@DaneBramageROCKS A few years ago i started gaini an lot interest on drummers which in the past i often overlooked. Before there was only one drummer alone i liked, Steward Copeland from The Police because his drumming is so unique i caught my attention. I also liked the precussion sounds of Peter Gabriel's songs in his album "Passion". But otherwise, drummers for me were but a wall of sound in a song. Things changed more recently for me when i noticed the drumming in the videos of 3 songs: one was Nick Mason of Pink Floyd in the live at Pompeii concert of the song Echoes. The second was in the live concert of Porpunpine Trees of theirn song Anesthetise by the drumming of Gavin Harrison. The 3rd was a live performance of Peter Gabriel's song "The Rhythm of the Heat" by a drummer i have no idea wh he is (it was not the session drummer that played on the album). Paulina Villareal is now my favorite drummer with Copeland and i admire her a lot.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@carlossaraiva8213 Yeah I started noticing drummers right around the Tom Petty era and my fascination solidified with Danny Carey from Tool and both Shannon Larkin and Sully from Godsmack.
