Tower of Power - Soul Vaccination - Drum Cover by Chiara Cotugno

[@iMikeyLuv]

One of the baddest funk beats ever created. Courtesy of East Bay funkmeister David Garibaldi. Lots of fun and practice to get the right groove on this one. One of the most practiced grooves on the planet. Well done Ms Chiara.

I like your new hi hats BTW, I have made respect for you young lady.Ive been playing drums for decades&your an inspiration

[@GlennZullo]

Wow. Big TOP fan here. Great Job ! Not an easy song to play. David Garabaldi is not an easy drummer to aspire to either. Awesome 👍🏻

[@pistolpete5325]

Hella good…Just wish she had the cowbell! Gotta have more cowbell!

[@aquaalpha7727]

Beast of a lil back beat on the snare with spot on timing New skins and a creation space identical to a studio,so expect our experienced Drumming Queen to be loving every minute of it!!!!Peace n luv from Australia!!

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

[@papaj2820]

[@davelester3357]

Brings back many memories, saw them live several times back in the late 70’s......yep I’m that old and still playing, wtg chiari!

[@jamesmonroe7903]

I was wondering when a YT drummer would tackle a Tower of Power track-seeing you take the challenge,Chiara-it was DEFINITELY worth the wait! What an outstanding job-you’ve got the groove thing goin’! And you end it flashing your very beautiful smile!❤️👏Bravo!🤗💕

[@gerrywaneck377]

Funky time jazz time. Good selection for the times.

[@mannybravo237]

Effortless! You have the master's touch🤘🏻. Everybody is goin' off😎, horns, drums, bass, slick guitar, funkin' groovin'. Back ina days, the 70's, I'd call this funk music, and my older sistets were into Tower Of Power

[@egyptianminor]

You have a great time feel, groove, touch and sound. Cheers from Brazil.

[@maiden4greece572]

Chiara, If you had done an audio Podcast I would have believed it was David Garibaldi playing!!! "Absolutely Amazin'!!!" Tower of Power and David Garibaldi were my top favorites! Oh, how I love Funk! You are truly a pro drummer! Thank you so much for a glimpse into my past that vibrates throughout my being!

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Brilliant!!

[@salthedrummer1]

Fantastic !

[@uweoehlke]

Most mistakes can be made with jazz music if you don't have the necessary sensitivity. You play it very easily, but also very focused. And as has often been written to you: You always hit the spot exactly. You are a great drummer. Thanks for your work. Admiable 💕🍀🍀🍀

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much!! 🙏☺️

[@christyler373]

[@benmichaelsdrummingexperience]

Amazing skills!! Great drumming sound, and video!!🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@paulspeter9820]

Like all good drummers you make it look easy. Nice use of cymbals. Nice to see and hear them played rather than just hit.

[@freddiecortinez2201]

I'm wondering if more vidio's are being added from time to time or if maybe my notifications have accidentally been turned off? 😊

[@clanbj]

Wow just wow, you're such an all round Drummer (love the Ghost notes on the Snare)

[@gregkunkel8704]

[@stevenrocks0079]

Wow girl *** you really got way better, especially with a different type of music.

[@lostone7496]

That's some pretty nice soul drumming,been awhile heard anything of that.awesome,you keep play your drums🌹💓

[@bopper1234]

Looks like you're having a good time with this one. Tackling something that David Garibaldi has done takes a lot of guts! Good for you. He's one of my two favourite drummers (check out Prairie Prince my other fave). I think you've got the funk!

[@divinyls8909]

Eres la mejor saludos desde colombia ❤

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Muchas gracias!! ☺️☺️

[@stantomas]

I play this in a TOP cover band. It's the bands toughest one to pull off as like TOP. I like how you played close to the original especially the right hand sticking and hi hat open/close , as like Garibaldi and of course the ghost notes spot on. Nice feel,and you made it groove which is all that matters! It's def a tune that challenges in many ways and you did excellent job!

[@stefanosampieri7385]

Il sogno mio, trovare una donna che suona la batteria come me, complimenti! Sto studiando lo stesso brano e non è facile, bravissima !

[@bob70drum62]

.Exellent choice of title, great "david garibaldi groove" you master bravo !!!

[@zaragocilla12]

On point

[@nik_in_the_box]

Good job 👏 leave you my like🖒

[@stixnfeet7818]

Just discovered. Subscribed! Great playing. Relaxed & Tight always nice to see. (Asheville North Carolina)

[@alaingril6412]

I’m really blown away by your performance. I’m a big fan of David Garibaldi and i saw a lot of drummers tryin to do what he does and you are the first an onlyone that gives me the wooow feeling. I wish you all the best. You’re a natural talent💥

[@LeakyJAZZ]

how did I do? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZbamYB7hq14itE

[@jimlassen9422]

Great stuff and the only cover I have heard of this so far. I have 7 x Tower or Power LP's and have played along to all of them over many years which helps my drumming and getting to grips with all the accents. Maybe try What is Hip or some of the tracks from the Urban Renewal LP, some of which are quite complex to play along to.

[@joemama22]

Cool.

[@BrunoAugusto82]

Sensacional 👏👏👏

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you!! ☺️☺️

[@ricardooliveira3742]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

☺️☺️🙏🙏

[@markcampanile8700]

Just wow... again...wow I like how you” loosened your tie” and really enjoyed playing after your “game face” start of the tune but the whole piece was spot on✌️😀

[@smulismuli7976]

Just binged through your channel…very very good and so many songs I love. Future ideas; definitely more funk, some disco, do Fire, Incubus has some cool grooves and have a go at Let Thy Will Be Done by von Hertzen Brothers…just because I’m from Finland;)

[@enricofamiglietti]

I miei complimenti bravissima 👍😉🙏🌹😊

[@afilpiace]

Respect.

[@gking1767]

You did a fantastic job. 👏 When attempt to play this song , you are getting at the deep end of the pool . When you are covering Dave Garibaldi. It not easy playing Swiss triples.

[@BassBinBert]

😆😂🤣 Very topical 👍👍👍

[@rodmandealerman3297]

I suspect playing this is much more difficult than it appears. I did enjoy the very funky groove though! Very well done!

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

I mean who would do a drum cover on a horn happy soul group like Tower of Power. Chicago, well yes. That's a gimme. Tower of Power?? No one on heaven's earth. Chiara: *"Here. Hold my tenor sax".*

[@joebarrera9741]

I can't believe how good you are im scared......I love 💘 u so much

[@stevereedy420]

Great Job A+ That song is really tough to play on the drums

[@joebarrera9741]

I love 💘

[@airsickgrove]

I wonder if you would do "in the mood" by Robert Plant... the drums were done by Phil Collins... can't say why I ask of this other than this is a favorite from when I was a young kid & the drums are incredible. Anyway you have so much ability, talent & feel... awesome how you just lock into a groove!
