[@carlbamburg7439]

I think people, particularly non-musicians, get WAAAAY confused about what great drumming really is, in the same way they're confused about guitar players.. The busy, technique driven, exhibition style drummers get all the attention, but THIS is what the best drummers do.. Stay in the pocket, understand their role in the song and provide that unmovable backbeat.. I'll take this kind of drummer ANY day over a noodler..

[@carlbamburg7439]

@Déjà Siku you have no clue what you're talking about

[@flops0317]

I agree and disagree with you at the same time. I think what you described is what makes a good drummer. But if you ask me then the greatest drummers serve the song not only by staying in the pocket, but by expanding upon them WITHOUT going overboard and butchering the song in the process. Don't get me wrong, this is great drumming, but I'd prefer someone with a more eccentric playstyle, since that makes the entire song more interesting.

[@carlbamburg7439]

@@flops0317 I don't disagree with your point, however I'm simply pointing out that MOST of the general public DOESN'T understand the value of this type of drumming.. Oddly enough though, the general public BUYS this approach overwhelmingly.. Compare the worldwide sales figures of Shania Twain, AC/DC and Def Leppard (yes, all produced by Mutt) to Rush, Dream Theater, Zappa or ANY of the blast drummer bands sales of the day.. They're ALL fabulous but there is enormous value in drummers that do what Elijah is doing on the Shania gig.. In fact, Elijah can and has done both, ask HER what the better job is..

@@Bird22 Ok, but is this a good drummer or do you just like all the fluttering hair and the nice smile?

[@ollyalme]

Ok? Yeah, I agree, probably the easiest drum part I've ever heard. Now, how about making an actually technically challenging drum part groove? Would that be less "world class"? Talk about trying to find a reason to start praising 🤡

[@TheDave000]

If you want to get the gig playing with an artist as world class like Shinia Twain, you won't get very far playing technically interesting parts. The crowd are there to see Shinia, the drummers job is to play a rock solid groove and serve the song. Like this. Don't worry, you'll understand one day.

[@richboshart1201]

To play in a big production, in an act on this level, you have to be consistent night after night, with no mistakes allowed. That’s a skill set not all drummers, even technically accomplished ones, have. People don’t get hired for acts like this unless they can be relied upon to support the song consistently and reliably. Good on you Elijah. Cover band drummers like me would love to have that gig. Keep rocking and having fun.

[@CarcPazu]

Well, this is not Death Metal. Playing this type of beats, stiff like a 2x4, doesn't necessitate that much effort to be consistent. Judging by this performance alone, she's only playing basic stuff that most people that can hold a beat can play. So let's be honest here, she got the gig because 1- She's hot and looks good on a stage, sex sells. 2- She can hold a steady beat and get out of way. Some people here don't bitch because she's bad, they bitch because she's displaying very average skills and because she is showing off with a drumcam for the world to see. People think the skills displayed on this video doesn't warrant to be highlighted by a drumcam. And yes, the title was clickbait, I was curious to see the hobbit play drums.

[@michaelcaplin8969]

It does. Doing what she does here is on a WHOLE other level from being technically proficient in playing death metal. Technically amazing and even world class show-drummers are a dime a dozen, but drummers like her are really rare. It's a reason she got the gig. Yeah, it probably didn't hurt her job chances that she had a modicum of good looks (if it even is a she, I have no idea to be honest), but there's a reason why fat old guys get gigs just like these as well. They know how to do it.

I recently came out publicly as transgender in January of 2018 and am beginning to hone my androgyny in the public light for the first time in my life-embracing both the male and female sides of me and choosing to start 2018 with confidence and authenticity. People have called me both "he" and "she" in my journey-and to that end, you can call me whatever you so desire. For one of the first times in my life, I am whole heartedly excited for what the future holds for me. Live authentically, people. You only get one life.”

[@Slippery-Stan-Miracle-Man]

Yep- great video: exactly as advertised

[@SJR_Media_Group]

Mutt Lange single-handedly changed the trajectory of rock music. Groups like AC/DC, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Shania Twain, The Cars, are just a few launched into stardom by Mutt Lange. Rarely a harsh word about his demanding perfection. Everyone trusted him and did as asked. A young Joe Elliot from Def Leppard was pushed to sing at an octave or two higher than he thought he could, did it just to get Mutt of his case. The resulting vocals are the trademark Joe Elliot we hear today. No one sings it better than Joe Elliot.

[@antkneewolfdrummer]

I think this drumming performance is awesome. All the people making comments about metal music and this is simple drumming and anyone with any skill can do this is incorrect. If you think its really easy to do this then get a metronome and set it at 120bpm and pick any groove you want and play that groove for 5 minutes with no drum fills or cymbal hits and stay consistent and record yourself then listen back. I think you'll find out its not as easy as you think. Then take into consideration who your drumming for and the venues your playing. The other thing is i think most people are impressed with drummers on youtube playing everything at warp speed and doing all this outrageous drum fills that in reality wouldn't be able to be used in a pro situation unless your soloing. Style through simplicity will land you a great gig like this!

@@ElijahWoodMusic Hi Elijah. Thanks for the response. I have been making a living playing drums for 20 plus years. When i first started out i played on a few cruise ships, traveled in both coasts etc. In the past few years started playing pretty decent theaters etc. I think players have no clue what its like to have to be consistent and deal with being on the road and the whole ball of wax. I have never toured with any big acts and maybe i will have the opportunity one day but it takes a lot to perform on that scale and you did a great job. Just an FYI. If your interested i also host a music internet tv show called In Tune. I interview pro performers that are out on the scene making things happen for themselves. If your interested in checking out my interviews you can go to: www.rvntv.tv and scroll down to the entertainment category and look for my In Tune show tile and click on it.

@@ElijahWoodMusic You are VERY welcome and you keep pounding those skins I absolutely love your style and skills!

[@alabamahebrew]

@eds9c1 Thank you my friend! There is absolutely NO reason for anyone to have said anything negative about Elijah's performance here. I think we know the real reason why they were being so negative, some came out and said it. I have looked at Elijah's older video's and compared them with her newer ones, I hope my feelings are correct, she has finally come into her own, she finally feels complete. She looks so much happier now and is more energetic. I wish nothing but the greatest amount of success for her both professionally and personally. And let me tell ya something else, she has one helluva kick in her drums!! Now that could be the mic setup but I don't think so, I think she just has that much power!! The way she hits those drums reminds me of Bonzo (John Bonham of Led Zeppelin). She has the same furiousity and precision he had. Very few drummers energize me like Elijah does, how can you watch her and not feel energetic and happy? I saw Shania's other drummer and while he too was good, he did not have the same persona as Elijah.

[@ggarnet6440]

@Ron Just Ron, I totally agree!

[@jameshoopes6467]

I keep watching this over and over. I really like to see her energy. I’d like to see more about how she got to this point. This video shows the end of a huge amount if work that she did to prepare. I always appreciate the effort when I know more about the hours, effort, and sweat that went into the preparation.

This was interesting to hear the drums and everything else in the background. The view and the music is backwards from how you would normally see or hear a show.

That is how it sounds from where the drummer sits.

[@jonathanclouse1344]

Well, more than likely, the audio for this video was a feed mixed by the monitor engineer, which is typically tailored to what musicians wish to hear while playing thanks to widespread use of in-ear monitors.

[@wilson2455]

is that what the drummer is hearing thu her in-ear headphones ? I thought she may want to hear a little bit of Shania in case she starts to riff ?

[@danjenkins4455]

@@wilson2455 Quite often musicians don't want any of the live vocals. I've done monitor engineering on some big stages and most of the time the only people that actually want vocals are the vocalists themselves.

People are tired of being judged when Jesus gave you direct orders not to judge, love unconditionally and accept the immigrant into the our home as you would family. You are a hypocrite! A Sanhedrin. Who did Jesus hangout out and eat with? Not your kind for sure. He preferred real people who knew who and what they were inside their soul, instead of judgmental fakes like you. I saved lives for 27 years as a Paramedic/Firefighter and off duty Deputy Sheriff. I worked until injured in the line of duty and force retired. I cared about people while you look down upon them. I doubt you would even help "those" people. Guess what else? I am a post op trans woman who understands love and offered my life with every rescue I made. You can't do anything, but judge someone who loves their life, their career and themselves. How miserable you must be to be troll this women spreading happiness and good cheer. Sad that an atheist like me knows more about your own religion and bible than you do. Then again, I accept people however they are and celebrate their lives. You need to do some severe soul searching or you are going to end up having a very bad eternity. There is no way you can say you are without sin or follow your Christ, because you failed him and his teachings badly here. Begone you false believer!
