That is the WORST thing about her, trying to show her rich girl smile, and playing some pretty heavy songs with this stupid ass smile on her like someone is standing there making gestures behind the camera.. Makes it stupid. Sit down, play a metal song and look like a metal drummer..

HamRadioConcepts how a metal drummer should look like to you? An angry face spanking the instrument?! Each one has a diferent gesture. I think she s just trying to show that she is enjoynig and that she likes playing. This is her way to play

I agree completely. She has the talent and humility that is attractive to so many drummers that love their craft. I'm glad she kept at it and found musicians that could produce such a great release as "Alchemy". Truth be told: I think alot of guys look up to her and are encouraged to be better musicians!

I wanted to be this good. But got distracted by just being a power hitter and getting complimented on my badass attitude and style instead of all our skills. I feel seeing a chick like this. I can still be respected if I just put the effort in. Her and the drummer former kittie. Mercedes lander was the first heavy chick I had seen. And till this day. These two are both the most dedicated rock metal chicks I have seen. I think of mike portnoy who just know s tricks to fills - I don’t feel he plays from the heart - it’s all about trips played off different riffs. Not saying he is not amazingly talented. But I feel these two ladies are just as if not more because they have significant passion and crazy drive.

She’s a force of nature. So much fun to watch her play because she’s always having fun! I mean, this is what we all want to do, right? She probably feels so grateful for what she has. It’s hard work, for sure, but some of it is luck. There are so many good players and so few of us get to be seen by the masses. She pulled it all together, talent, hard work and dedication, and never gave up. Go Meytal!

I've checked in on her videos on-and-off for several years, and it's always satisfying - it's technically interesting, and her joy is contagious. I didn't know this stuff about her, so her drum performance came across to me as a moment of triumph. That was just lovely to watch.

I absolutely cannot express my adoration for this woman. The way she makes it so easy and so much FUN!! I have bartended for almost 30 years and when she gets so happy and literally jumps off her throne, I relate to that emotion so much. I consider myself an entertainer at times, and when I get my crowd going, I start jumping up and down, it makes me want to do more, go farther, and think of different ways to make the people in front of me enjoy it even more and to make it even more memorable. For the life of me I cannot in my wildest dreams imagine someone that talented, that young, and from what I can tell,someone that modest actually feels, it has got to be astronomically overwhelming, yet, I have never seen a person that grounded. Good for you, and continued success! As an aside, I am friends (literally) with some of the most undiscovered musical talent in the country.

I have been following Meytal since pretty much the beginning of her KZbin career. When the Kickstarter campaign for her first album, Alchemy, was announced, I knew I had to help back the project. It's a great album. Now, in 2019, she's released a second, The Witness. (Also Kickstarter financed) That project brought in almost double what her goal was. She has created a loyal fanbase that simply loves watching her create and play music. Plus that smile, who wouldn't enjoy seeing it while she's playing.

Well done Metyal! I've always loved you're KZbin channel and amazing drumming skills. It was nice to see you give this talk and find out more about you in person. I like how you always smile and are modest and sweet and you don't dress scantily like some other female drummers to get views you just do what you love! Respect to you. You really inspire me and you're well loved because you're talented but real. And wow that drumming at the end blew me away. Will continue to support all that you do. Keep up the amazing work! :-)

You are what people need to look to, Meytal. You exemplify what it means to earn. What it means to dig in to ones soul and hunger for what you want to achieve. Well done.

(I apologize for not seeing this and commenting sooner - my health hasn't been that great, and I've been sorta 'hiding out' I guess.) I remember the early days, the videos from your bedroom, you being an adorable, amazing, sooo modest, and sooo humble - but for me, it was the passion I saw in your eyes when you even just looked at your drums. You felt it in your soul, they were an extension of you, and I saw that. Even though I'm a disabled Veteran with no income at all (15 years fighting for social security, 10 denials) I still donated what I could when you first started asking for donations. I was one of the first people to sign up for your mailing list, before albums or signed sticks - long before that - I think you had 4 videos on youtube maybe? It might not even have been that many - but since that first video with your friends doing Toxicity - I saw in you the fire and the passion that I've felt myself, for percussion and for singing, that I've had since I was a kid. I figured, since I never did anything with my talent, the least I could do was help someone who was actually out there doing something with her amazing talent. Your personality and your spirit were so strong, and you were so darned adorable - yet powerful - a dangerous mix in the music industry ;) I knew from the beginning that you'd be world-renowned - I said it to you in one of the FB messages (or was it twitter? I'm not sure, I just know we've spoken a few times waaaay back in the 'beginning') and you were so cute in your responses and how completely non-conceited (is that even a word? lol) you were... I'm soooo proud of you for making it as far as you've come already - and like I"ve always said, each step of the way, you're gonna go even further this time - I can feel it - I can see it in you - just believe in yourself as much as I believe i you (which you definitely do) and never let anything negative that anyone on the internet says, get to you. It was great seeing you in a Ted talk! I'll admit - I didn't ever expect you to do one of these! I know how you looooove talking to large crowds :P You did great. I'm even more impressed than I was before, again. Keep on doing that... keep sharing the spirit and the strength you've shown all along with other people - because the ability to reach so many people at once, to express yourself so widely and let people know that you CAN reach your dreams, and inspiring people the way you do... you're going to go down as not just one of the best female percussionists of all time, and not just one of the best percussionists of all time, but one of the best artists of all time. Thank you, Meytal, for showing me that there are still true artists of music left in the world, and also that there are women who believe in finding their passion, and expressing it, and sharing it with others, and inspiring others to share their passions as well (I started writing again). Wow. I just realized I wrote you a book. Oops. Can't help it, I haven't spoken to you or messaged you in a long time, and I had a lot to say to you ;) Hopefully, by sharing my passions with the world again - this time where people can really see it - I'll get back on my feet and be able to actually afford to come see you perform!! On that note, (I'm punny, aren't I? lol ok that was lame.) I'm heading off to sleep. Keep up the kicking as* and doing what you do so well!
