For such a kick ass song, I think people under estimate how much groove there is melded with the level of technical prowess required to pull it off. This is a first-class cover.

[@casaraku1]

and kick ass Living Colour were... Its their take on the Beatles "Revolution".

[@darickbonebrake6774]

Well said. This is true great songwriting

[@wisdomoverfear2685]

All did great !!!The drummer really held it down ! This was awesome !

[@athanatic]

A band that can do this can probably do Zappa.

Somebody with a 2112 in his username definitely knows!!!

[@InferiorCurry]

Can we get some bassist recognition in the house? SHEEEESH that was some clean rhythm bro 😮‍💨

[@mikewood5373]

I'm a bass player myself and no one realises how hard it is to be in sync with a drummer or a guitarist

Holy crap that drummer

[@johnapppel64]

The whole ensemble did a great job, but the drummer Ciara is the MVP. Fantastic cover!

[@Maramsp]

Wholy agree here! Amazing overall, but the drummer is outstanding!

[@ericamary9074]

Agreed that she was the stand-out musician here

[@wulf67]

Yes, she was freaking awesome. But don't underestimate the difficulty of the rhythm, lead, and bass guitarists all hitting that tricky-assed riff in unison throughout most of the song. Vocalists understood their mission as well. Kick-ass performance from everyone involved.

[@ging3rd3ad]

Thank you!!!

[@groofoot]

Heck yeah!! 8-D

[@gotozerobassman]

Nobody talks about the bass player, Tommy! He held that groove flawlessly!!!

[@georgea8298]

That guitar riff never gets old.

[@jeremychambers8736]

EDIT: TL;DR: it’s easier to play a solo than to set and keep groove and tempo and keep them steady (especially without a click). It’s harder to keep meter and groove because you have to concentrate more. Drummers….watch her! She is a great example of grooving your butt off! It takes NO SKILL to play a drum solo. It takes SKILL and CONCENTRATION to groove like she did (check second verse). She STUCK that groove!

[@beaubzdafka7451]

first thing i noticed was how awesome she was!

[@PracticalSelf-Deliverance]

It takes no skill to play a drum solo? That is a wild statement.

[@jeremychambers8736]

@@PracticalSelf-Deliverance ahh I just re read what I said….i should have said that it’s easier to play a solo than it is to set a groove and meter and keep them both steady.

[@squeedum4893]

Never underestimate the value of a rock-solid drummer.

[@tonyjones1560]

Old guitar player here. If your drummer and bassist (in that order) are “off,” so is your band. A showy singer and/or virtuoso lead guitarist might cover it up with some visuals…but it’s a big problem!

[@supernerd8067]

The drums and bass are like the heart of the band. If they're off time, the body collapses.

[@MisfitKotLD]

And she is enjoying this song! They all are, and it's great to see.

[@ItsMeFreemanCooper]

Honestly, as a self-taught drummer (participated in a rock band with three of my siblings years ago), I can absolutely support that statement. You get a drummer that knows what they're doing and loves what they do, and it'll definitely come through in the instrumentation.

[@johnstrthr012271]

Yea I know she is good

[@aixpert291]

The drum set smoked a cigarette after.

[@Salmacis99]

Hell yes lol! I've been drumming for a loooong time, and this young lady is a great drummer already. Great groove and timing

[@DJ-bh1ju]

A lovely, strong girl... Looks like she could make any drum set cry for mercy.... I don't think she was challenged too much even on this song cuz she had so much time to smile while she was playing. Let her try some Godsmack tunes and I bet she could ace them too.

[@daxconnell7661]

Hell yeah girl. 👊 Second, both guitarists were freaking awesome. Obviously the lead guitarist was blowing us all away, but let's not neglect the backup who was right there with him. And along with those two was the bassist hanging right there with them. And finally, let's also not ignore the backup singer. She did a phenomenal job supporting the lead (who was great). This was just amazing in all aspects. Rock on kids!
