"Maniac" is a song performed by Michael Sembello. The song was used in the 1983 film Flashdance.
"Maniac" appears during an early scene in Flashdance and is used as the backing track of a montage sequence showing Alex (Jennifer Beals) training strenuously in her converted warehouse.
The song was included in Flashdance after Sembello's wife accidentally included it on a tape sent to executives at Paramount Pictures who were looking for music to use in the film.
A dance music version was released in 2000, by Irish DJ Mark McCabe, entitled "Maniac 2000".
Lyrics:
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing woman into light
She has danced into the danger zone,
When the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-build iron insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard warm place of mystery,
Touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time
It could come or pass you by
It's a push of the world but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, stretching for defeat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's naver danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's naver danced before
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's naver danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's naver danced before
Maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

Great Cover. Those Simmons Drums are Iconic! Still so powerful today

[@hubbaman9885]

One of the most defining songs of 1983, 80's synth at its best. This is a favorite of mine from the Flashdance soundtrack. I love pretending to drum to this it just sounds cool. Thank you!

[@flyingdentist]

The best Maniac version ever!👌👍👍👍

[@futurosurf]

[@sergiomaidana6007]

Un tema clásico que nunca pasa de moda al igual que la batería simons...una masa❤ saludos desde argentina

[@narongratchsapphathaweeboo6106]

Love 80s. 🤩🤩🤩

[@StarZendonna1687]

Dude that’s really cool. The song was 3 years before I was born but I love it.

[@lucho0136]

Perfect, without inventing cuts at the wrong time, or doing strange things with the hi hat... perfect, clean.

[@gilvanmarques8344]

Muito legal

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

For several years, I have interlinked “Maniac” with “Holding Out for a Hero” and find myself listening to them consecutively. Did you do a video of “Holding Out for a Hero”?

[@grzegorzhelinski6558]

I love Simmons since 1984! F.... I am so old:-)?

[@discoalice]

I listened to this song everyday for years, thank you!

[@wfm5121954]

Me too!

[@synsongs]

So amazing, sounds even better than the original :-) Brilliant work, thanks so much for uploading.

[@alberttwo68]

Another your MASTERPIECE !! Dziękuję Ci bardzo MAESTRO !!!

[@saintdoon]

Always wanted a drum set like this after I seen it in one of 80s New Wave bands forgot which one.Just love the sounds it make when you hit it. S 'Ninja' Khamma

[@martinooo29]

Powinienem słuchać innych kawałków, żeby osłuchiwać repertuar do projektów, w których gram, ale za każdym razem jak odpalę youtube, to nie mogę się oprzeć temu, żeby zarzucić Twoją playlistę. Te numery brzmią tak doskonale z tymi bębnami dogranymi przez Ciebie, że to jest jaka miód na uszy. Brzmienie tego Simmonsa, coś niesamowitego!!! Żaden cyfrowy moduł nie jest w stanie tego podrobić. Sam poluję na ten moduł i muszę go gdzieś zdobyć, ale widzę, że niełatwo trafić na taki dobrze zachowany egzemplarz. To brzmienie jest tak mięsiste, w przyjemnym znaczeniu tego słowa, coś pięknego...

[@JPGroleau]

good job! Tight snare sound and very cool tom sounds!

[@synthwarez]

Fantástico, qué bien tocas ;)

[@ebutuoytm7560]

This is awesome, great job dude!

Solid.

[@mafiososamgiancana]

[@VladislavB92]

This one is truly a masterpiece from you! Great! Vlad z Lotwy.

[@bartmuz]

ciekawe połączenie - elektroniczna perkusja i prawdziwe blachy

[@Mig77PL]

Połączenie standardowo stosowane w latach '80 przez większość perkusistów, takiego połączenia używał m. in. Phil Collins, a u nas choćby Jerzy Piotrowski za czasów początków Simmonsa w Kombi.

[@adamharris7775]

The LinnDrum and Oberheim DMX are heard in this song.

[@windowsdx]

Simmons drums and LinnDrum drum machine.

[@tomaszknapik4563]

Genialna petarda na weekend! Pozdrawiam i czekam na kolejne mistrzowskie covery! :)

[@saintdoon]

Question, Do you need to plug it in a speaker or speakers when playing Simmons SDS 8? And is there a volume buttons or sound buttons to get different electronic and regular drum sounds? Can't get enough watching you guys doing a cover playing on SIMMONS SDS 8 electronic drums. Big fan of those drums since mid 80s. S 'NINJA' Khamma

[@burkrevlin4932]

wooo i thought was phil collins drumming heheh:)

[@user-xl3lu9ht7k]

Отлично! Привет из России.

[@petergriffinelectricdrums4164]

Awesome!,Great Cover buddy! Could you possibly do a Def Leppard song? I know Def Leppard drummer used the Simmons SDS7 or SDS8 on their Hysteria album..It would be cool!.. I'm really trying to see if you're SDS8 can achieve that HUGE SNARE sound in Def Leppards "POOR SOME SUGAR ON ME?"

[@JPGroleau]

Had a cool jam with my sister last week. Brought the simmons kit to her place. She asked me for some def leppard, so we played "pour some sugar on me" and "hysteria". Found a good way to make the snare sound as huge as the record. We were laughing the whole time because of how exaggerate those simmons kit can sound! SDS-8 are pretty easy to find and buy. A lot of them in good condition. Not to expansive (unlike the SDS-V which now cost an arm). It's a lot of fun to chose a song you wanna play, then take the time to tune the sound of each drum. You end up playing the song while being really proud of the sound you've just achieved!

[@svarthelikoptern]

Could you please elaborate on how you achieved the Hysteria snare sound?

[@JPGroleau]

Use the snare pad to trigger 2 inputs instead of only one. I send it first to BASS DRUM, (I use a roland SPD-S with a pedal for bass drum sound) Tone/noise balance set at TONE only. Then I use the direct output to send it to the snare track, with the tone/noise balance to NOISE only. So I can set a low and short tone and adjust the decay of the high-pitched noise (snare track) separately. Longer noise decay than tone. Sounds just like def leppard !

[@shady7969]

just awesome!! ..can you make drumcover of A-ha Take on me??

[@zigadebenec8925]

Amazing job, any chance to buy your cover versions?

[@synthland4526]

Omg can you please tell me the snare setting or any other setting for the snare that soumds close to yours. Ive got an sds v i need some snare settings and kick

[@AudioTechnicSwitzerland]

Please tell me the settings for the snare and toms❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

[@evgenycostygin9333]

А Вы можете сделать драм-кавер Cilent Circle - Touch in the Night? Или Lian Ross - Say you"ll never?

[@RusskiiIvan]

Say you"ll never не, скучная она, вот бы: Lian Ross - keep this feeling. ;)

[@adamharris7775]

In this song, the Oberheim DX is heard.

[@marco2carriloo436]

the hithat stop never of the master video , but the cover is good

[@hectorparra4433]

Ojala sepas leer lo que te escribo, eres muy bueno, no se escribir en ingles pero la música no prescinde del idioma , como una pequeña hoguera o fogata tu trabajo Encedera, lo que haces debiera ser más valorado, pero dejemoslo al tiempo, gracias.

[@hindsighter]

Very good work. I´m glad you didn´t choose the HORRIBLE FLASHDANCE VERSION.

[@hindsighter]

@Freline This is NOT the Flashdance version. This is the Flashdance version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHimf4ibiauGmKM , and there's no other Flashdance version. When I say "HORRIBLE FLASHDANCE VERSION" I just mean the FLASHDANCE VERSION is weak compared to the BOSSA NOVA HOTEL album version, which marcinnsz used for his video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJzYZ5p6gJJ_gaM
