Paulina Villarreal (THE WARNING) & Faith Benson Drum Duo! MUSIC VIDEO REACTION!

[@LostHate]

This is Faith's song that Pau learned just for this performance. And she nailed it of course.

[@larryday9455]

Faith was the winner of under 18 division the year before and Pau was a judge for following year. This was a hell of an exhibition.

[@Wazzman70]

Paulina generally drums in socks or bare feet also.

[@nichep1]

They are both phenomenal. My favorite is Pau. She flows like water across the set

[@brentkelsay3439]

Pau was too nervous at age 14? 15? to turn in an application for the Hits Like A Girl int'l drumming contest. A coupla years later HLAG reached out to Pau and asked her to be the "face" of the competition and a judge! (yeah they knew about her!). And Pau was like "hell yeah I wanna be a judge!" 🤣 Faith was the winner in the 18 and under category and obviously an excellent drummer herself. 🥁🤘 "The Warning Paulina Drum Channel Interview" on The Warning Army yt.

[@RandyTWA]

In this format Pau is like a fire horse asked to hold back, even though she wants to break into a full gallop.

[@gabrielalbertocastillomarq6120]

Faith is part of a band with her 3 sisters "Crimson Apple". They are from Hawai and think they are in California now. She is the youngest. Their music is pop rock with some participations in festivals in the US, and 3 albums

[@larryday9455]

Faith is now playing with Plush. Just saw her play with them 4 days ago.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

@@larryday9455 Umm, I think you are mixing up your Faiths. Faith Powell drums for Plush and I believe is a couple of years younger (she joined Plush last year right after graduating high school). They do look a bit similar though, and both are excellent drummers.

That’s faith Powell not benson …Faith benson is in Crimson apple ..

Paulina shakes the earth now …Faith is great too …just both bad ass thumpers ..🔥

[@roostj]

Both good drummers! Pau is more fun to see drumming, but I'm a fan of the Warning so a little bit biased 🙃

[@RickSand-g1w]

love the big screen

[@rustyford2790]

This just happens to be the same year The SiXsters drummer Kate Kuziakina won HLAG (under 18) at 9years old.

[@spaceknave]

Cool, I didn’t know that.

[@R-Mouse2299]

I think i heard that Faith is/was more of a technical drummer as to where Pau is what they refer to as a “feel” drummer. Either way, i dig it. I also am a biased toward Pau. Great reaction

[@gaefferson1]

Faith a tighter drummer I would not say more technical not present time anyway.Pau holds her hands high and comes down hard ,faith holds the sticks like a marching band drummer and is very prolific that way ..both are sensational.

[@hanifmusa9182]

Yes Sir., Bud ... Your editing skill is really making me appreciate your channel: Introduction to Faith Benson rocks my world . Pau is volcanic., evermore.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

I think the drummers who play barefoot or in stocking feet feel that they are more in control and attached to the music and the beat without their shoes. They feel that they have more control when switching between pedals. Pau uses a double pedal for her kick drum from time to time which requires her to switch between her hi-hat and that second kick pedal. There are also a series of two or three switch pedals she has connected to the Ableton software running on her MacBook that controls the click track and backing tracks for the group. A lot of drummers say shoes or boots restrict the full range of motion in the ankle. After all, shoes are designed for walking not sitting at a drum kit. I know some drummers who wear something like a wrestling shoe for that reason because it affords some protection to the sole of the foot while being much more flexible than a regular shoe. Also, there is the weight of the shoe that over a couple of hours of performing (sometimes) during a concert adds to how tired your legs get. Pau wears shoes on occasion but usually doesn't. The floors in some of the venues they perform are not conducive to walking around in bare feet, so she has shoes and even some boots with zippers to allow them to be taken off and put on quickly. She wears those while walking to her drum kit where she removes them and puts them back on (sometimes) when leaving the stage. But usually, she just wears a pair of socks.

[@oregonlt3]

Yup, this video arrangement is fantastic🤘

[@solarvanlife8177]

Only one set of drums was harmed during the filming of this video.....:)

[@cncs2806]

Pau was 16 at the time, she was a judge for the under 18 category of the 2018 Hit Like A Girl competition. Faith was the winner of the previous year.

[@RussInCanada]

I was all excited to check out Crimson Apple, then quickly discovered that they were what The Warning would have been if they had taken Disney's money.

[@gaefferson1]

That’s really about right ,they could pull it off too .Crimson apple also could have been a rock band but they chose the pop way and now they vanished ..

[@genboyer]

Fun Fact: Faith Benson is the drummer from her own sister band, Crimson Apple, originally from Hawaii, based in Cali now.

[@fantus01]

thank you, I did not know it ... two drummers of the future ....

[@OliverFortea]

Both great drummers. Faith is more technical. Paulina is more powerful and makes you feel and vibe to the music. I’m biased as a Pau fan but we need to give credit where credit is due. Faith is no slouch either. Bravo ladies!

[@blaineoshaughnessy685]

I haven’t seen this in years. But, it’s always amazing. Both girls are great. ♥️✌🏻😎

[@timteel9733]

I like your setup, man. I appreciate that you are balancing the two aspects of a reaction video.

[@DadQuixote7]

I think you found a good layout for your videos! 🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

This viewing of the clip bought something home to me. The two drummers have a very diferent approach to where they live with the music. Pau sits completely inside the whole sound. Faith seems to attack and force it into her room. Possibly ( I do NOT know) due to Pau bouncing off Ale who has ( according to TW) tighter timing. Faith, I am guessing, is the timing driver in her group.

[@gaefferson1]

Pau looks so Keith moon here ..she actually doesn’t drum like this to much ..she’s very animated .Faith is great too but I don’t think crimson apple is playing anymore.They disappeared 2 years ago …🔥

[@azidoadriangil]

Great reaction as always... There is a collaboration between Pau and other Mexican musicians to play a Foo Fighters cover during the quarantine...

[@TRMReacts62812]

Awesome! I appreciate that!

[@brentkelsay3439]

Yeah this is a great clip!🤘

[@michaelsmith2017]

Faith is more technical and controlled where Pau is all heart and feels (but can still hold her own technically).

[@SO.CAL-D.Edwards]

The human eyes are triggered by movement..the movement in the background is hard to focus on. Or visa-versa..One moving screen at time is easier to focus on. Pau is my music hero 💥🤯🤘✌️

[@Robert_Herring]

2 examples of great drumming. Pau is the quintessential rock drummer while Faith has a little more jazz influence in her finesse. Faith has moved on since Crimson Apple, and is now playing with a band named Plush [Edit: I was wrong. It's Faith Powell that's in Plush]. Plush are another group of badass young women who have the same age range as The Warning, and I heartily recommend checking them out. The first time I saw Plush live was opening for The Warning, and they have also opened for Halestorm, Evanescence, and Disturbed. Plush' lead singer, Moriah Formica, is a powerhouse, being often, and rightly, compared to Ann Wilson. I strongly suspect that Plush was brought out by Disturbed because of the Ann Wilson similarity, because Moriah would join Disturbed during their performance of the Ann Wilson/David Draiman duet "Don't Tell Me" to sing Ann's part. To check out Plush, try the official videos for "Left Behind", "Find The Beautiful", or their cover of Heart's "Barracuda". They also have a decent video of Moriah singing "Don't Tell Me" with David on their KZbin account (PLUSH ROCKS).

[@don-music]

Faith is not in Plush. That’s a different woman named faith

[@jayjason6289]

Faith Powell joined Plush right out of high school after Brooke C quit. From grad party to touring with TW.🤘 not bad. Faith Benson is from now defunct sibling band Crimson Apple. 🍎Both girls do look very similar. 👍

[@gaefferson1]

Brooke is phenomenal..

[@wchaza67]

Pau is usually in socks as well, and slips her shoes or boots on when she comes out from behind the kit. Just by watching, you can see Faith is more of a finesse drummer. By this time, Pau had been drumming for 10 years and was already a complete monster on the drums, playing with the passion we see from her all the time. Your setup doesn't look bad... Maybe a little distracting to see the video playing behind the video?

[@big0bad0brad]

I could see it probably working with a blurred video in the background. You get the frame filled without focusing on it by accident.

[@wchaza67]

Yeah, I agree.

[@Double_J_48629]

random internet a-hole here again .... this time with some fine-tuning thoughts: the only thing i'd do now is to slide the video box up a bit -- at least to where it's mid-way up the screen (i.e., centered top-to-bottom) (1) i'm a sucker for symmetry (2) if i move my cursor across the screen, the progress bar won't block the frame 😅 the green outline thing: i assume that's a alternative to setting up an actual green screen? (i have ZERO idea how any of that side of things works, so i'm just guessing) .... it works 👍 the main thing is that having the cropped box set against a graphic background (like you had initially) clashes and so is a bit distracting ; so doing it like this is easier on the eyes. again, that's just one person's 2¢ , and that _plus_ $1.79 of your own can still get you a cup of coffee in some places 😂

[@ajs1340]

I have to agree with you on this. Seeing 2 videos is a bit distracting. Why have the "smaller" box at all if the whole background is the video??? I'm missing something here for sure.

[@TRMReacts62812]

The reason for the smaller box, if I forgot to mention it, is because I'm blocking the larger video screen. So if during a music video something good happened, I wouldn't be blocking it from the viewer. Sill a work in progress, though.

[@Double_J_48629]

@@ajs1340 i don't mind the 2 video thing .... kinda like it, actually. it's a neat visual. and i feel like just doing a top-to-bottom centering will make it feel more sync'd. the distracting part i was talking about is from a previous video when he cropped his camera feed and laid _that_ on top of a graphic ... it just clashes; so it's the _clashing_ element that jars the eyes. all that being said, i'm pretty ambivalent about it. the only time a background itself bothers/distracts me is when it's an overly-busy riot of weird colors and flashing lights and whatnot.

[@ajs1340]
