That's what I'm talking about! Real instruments and no computer electronics! Play those drums .🥁🥁🥁🥁🎶classic song no doubt. 😎👍👍

[@ericwalker8775]

I hope Diamond catches this young lady on the drums. I think he would be pleased. His solo at the beginning of I want to be free is iconic. This lady can play.

[@CMDUrbanTactics]

Wow to be so young you sure do play allot of my childhood music from the 70's. AWESOME!!! #WDAS105.3 #Philly1stBlackRadioStation

[@mrspatterson85]

1968TruckTurner exactly what I was thinking

[@invisiblematrixx761]

TruckTurner, she's playing those seventies song from your childhood because back then you had to be able to really play the instruments back then. That's when music was real music and real instruments. Those were the best times back then. I don't know what happened, but I personally prefer real drums, no computer garbage real instruments period. Classic song no doubt she was playing.

[@PrometheusForever]

@@invisiblematrixx761 yup the best music to listen to when it comes to instruments and real musicianship is music from the 70's that would be classic rock soul jazz or funk whatever u want to call it. Anticipation Rythm Syncopation.
