Beautiful drummer playing drums beautifully😁🎵

[@rarefiedhermetic792]

It's the talent that makes her beautiful.

[@kurttoy5035]

If I was a musician and formed a jazz band I'd hire Sophie to do drums. She's so sensational!

[@SophieAlloway]

Thank you, Kurt. I appreciate that!

[@szifty]

YAS!!! Coolest drummer ever!

[@NUBCAKE101]

I aspire to be able to play so lightly and with such feel. Nice.

[@SophieAlloway]

Thank you, Aleksander :-)

[@Heira]

Half Lightly

[@perryhailey6715]

Gotta love this solo! Bit of Hilary Jones going on too. Great talent 🥁🕺🏼🕺🏼

[@SophieAlloway]

Thanks Perry!

[@hahabass]

Sophie Alloway, Effortless as always. Makes it look like a breeze.

[@cjedwards5414]

Hi Sophie 😊

[@martyisabeliever]

Now if we can just get Sophie, Ida and Kelly Rosenthal (a.k.a. "I am Strikes") all in the same room...

[@RyanWeber794]

Cool drum set what kind is it?

[@mushiotoko]

Is Lydian Collective still playing? The have a incredible sound but I can't find any new videos. Could you tell me?

[@SophieAlloway]

We're definitely still playing; we were recording a new video today! Coming soon :-)

[@metallicpearl]

Lovely playing - musical, skillful and tasteful. Nice kit as well; what is it? :)

[@SophieAlloway]

Thank you very much! The kit is a Yamaha HipGig (Rick Marotta model) with an old Ludwig 400 snare.

[@metallicpearl]

Niiiice. Thanks for your reply!

[@SimonPhillips76]

That’s a wonderful solo. Toms tuned too low for my liking but great playing.

[@SophieAlloway]

Thanks for saying it's a wonderful solo. I understand the low-tuned toms aren't to everyone's taste. I do love that 1970s studio sound!

[@joellafargue9882]

Excuse me, but that was not a drum solo. The other musicians were still playing in the background.

[@huntercovington8835]

Ok, drum "feature", Mr. Party Pooper....Are you happy now?

[@clappedoutmotor]

So when there's a guitar solo, all the other instruments should stop? Watcha on about?

[@gumofilc77]

Sophie! Read the message from me. I sent on your KZbin channel ("messages").

[@Heira]

See She is Not even close To Soft

[@pacrii]

You are a ridiculous drummer! Sophie Beauford!

[@SophieAlloway]

That's really nice; thank you!
