I've been looking all over KZbin for somebody who can play Mel Gaynor's break. Chiara nailed it. It's that little hi-hat hit that most people seem to miss.

[@gilliantracy7991]

@3:55 That smile when you know you've nailed one of the best drum riffs ever! Excellent!

[@johnphilippatos]

Nah, I believe she's nailed way more difficult riffs just as easily.

[@Spider_7_7]

It’s my favorite part of the song.

[@312John]

I was born in 1969, song brings back wonderful memories. Love the rolled up sleeves... Thank you!

[@mymix7809]

Bravissima davvero, per ora la più bella drum cover sentita su KZbin

[@ExclusiveDucatiTube]

absolute perfection! what a talent!

[@flyaway7636]

This woman's got mad skills. Best cover I've seen by far.

[@souza003]

Ohh Yesssss !!!!!

[@deweypeters9515]

Kewl!

[@thunderdax6125]

Very very good job. Great timing and precision. One of the best drum cover on youtube.

[@sergioamayajr.5868]

Chiara, I love the 80's! Thank you for your cover of one of my favorite 80's songs.

[@nicholascunningham9277]

I love female drummers. Get it girl, one of my favorites to play

[@donaldduck926]

Simple minds, so many good memories ! Thanks and Merry Christmas

[@josephcolella3107]

One of the best rock songs ever written. Thanks for covering it. Awesome. Congrats on your award. Well deserved.

[@GEORGETSAPOGAS2020]

A huge THANK YOU for covering this song today! It took me back 35 years, when I used to be a dj and played this song all day long... MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

[@GEORGETSAPOGAS2020]

@TheChelseaGirl Hahaha!

[@dvelilla]

Hi hat? On point. Kick? On point. One of the best covers of this song on KZbin? Without question.

[@georgearceneaux]

The girl got skills 🤠, God bless her, great job.

[@phillipsantana2633]

The song alone takes me back of course it wasn't a time I paid as much attention to the drumming so I couldn't appreciate it as much. Great job.

[@jamesmonroe7903]

One of the great Big80’s movie themes from one of the great Big80’s films-done to spot-on perfection by the great Miss Chiara-Young lady,you’ve done it YET AGAIN! Masterful hi-hat,snare and kick drum action! You captured this cut!👏👌

[@jorgepaulbruce9849]

The Best!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💋, great song, I danced it a lot in my youth

[@philt5782]

oh yeah... strobe lights n all. happy times

[@michaelyakson9953]

Yes who did not lol

[@suminshizzles6951]

Anybody that can drum like that deserves to be followed, copied and studied. Your hands were flying. Only been drumming for a few months so i am happy that i can even do the 16th note hi hat groove. I do the snare part as well so tomorrow i will try adding the bass drum beats one at a time and see how i get on. Then to do this for the full duration with fills is another matter altogether. Thanks for this.

[@mrtetanner]

Yes!!!! You did it right! Most people don't get the kick drum right. Awesome!

[@fredvegerano9607]

Wow...you really great with those drums!!!!Fantastic talent!!!Blessings!Greetings from Puerto Rico!!!

[@riccardomusiu510]

Wooow bello!!! Ciao Chiary, questa è una delle mie canzoni preferite e i Simple Minds sono una delle band che amo di più, grazie soprattutto a Mel Gaynor, batterista potentissimo, uno dei miei batteristi preferiti della storia della musica... Ho praticamente fuso il loro album live dell'87 "Live In The City Of Light" a furia di ascoltare Mel... A parer mio la miglior performance mai stata registrata. Grazie cara, mi hai fatto un bel regalo con questa tua spettacolare versione, sei potenza pura complimenti 👍 Big Like. Buona serata ciao!! 😉🎶💖

[@benjaminbrown1856]
