Cindy Blackman @ Vancouver Drum Festival 2006 - Part 2

[xound11]

a bit boring

[Elnono306]

I'm in love!

[CJ81]

crazy stuff, reminds me of Tony's "Sister Cheryl" solo on "Tokyo Live".

[MORGAN999]

Are YOU Lenny Kravitz's drummer? No... I didn't think so!

Cindy Blackman is great.

[rrdrums110]

She is one of the best soundind all around drummers in the world for my money.

[calvarychapelhh]

Anybody know the size of her bass?

[sgtpepper1138]

looks like an 18, maybe a 20, def not 22

i'd say 18

[gmcjetpilot]

She is great, any one know if she did the sound track to the new VW commercials. She appears in one but not sure if she did the recording. She is a very accomplished jazz player. I watch her for inspiration of LESS IS MORE, which many amateur drummers don't do, playing busy. She plays with taste not bombast. She is not a super uber soloest but her grooves are awsom.

[Wakhakwi]

The day when people stop dissing on a female for playing an instrument because she's not a man, is the day the music business would change for the better.

The male race seems to diss on women for playing, often because they're just as good as them or even better, which is something men can't deal with, they all wanna be #1.

And if you're a woman you have to work 1000 times much harder because of it. Is image, sex & race more important than music? NO.

[shaneckel]

allow us to go back to the great words of Dr. Dre. "bitch's ain't shit but ho's and tricks".

Nah, I'm joking. I think a beat goes beyond that of a gender or a race. Which is the beauty of drumming.

[rcaudill1960]

haha,just saying listen to ben folds version,its hilarious...and cindy blackmans amazing.

[ElPopularVale]

you know a drummer is amateur when he or she hits the sticks or drum borders accidentally

[kitchen867]

That's a really stupid comment. Every drummer hits the rims accidentally sometimes, regardless if they are an "amateur" or have been playing for 40 years. It's really not a big deal.

[iamsparklebear]

everyone's opinion is different about her - but whether she is an average drummer, an overdoer, or an amazing drummer - i have to ask: have you ever heard drums sing like that?

[Lehmann108]

She's just a journeyman drummer. I hate to say that, but she's just an average drummer. If she was a guy you'd never hear of her at all.

[ZildginVicFirth]

agreed. my brother could hit random drums too, and he's 3.

[krazyjey]

i like her but i like meg of the white stripes

[ambroulard]

Your nuts  totally.

[Pilostros]

★★★★★!!! Cindyyyy

[baggins555]

PPL only think she's great because she is a female. If this were an ugly male playing, nobody would give a damn. Listen with your ears, not your eyes. NOw click away on the thumbs down icon, you politically correct girl drummer fans...

[GaryNull]

@baggins555

Most drummers in general, male or female, are overrated anyway.

[samm1809]

@GaryNull AMEN

[wolfy18]

i like her playing, but those toms are too far apart for my liking =S

[bigwes0]

"mister" your a fuckin tool, Cindy's the shit shut your mouth

[MisterAstigma]

weird. go back in kitchen

[TonyBtheEG]

this comment was so awful to even be serious to me, and if it was serious, well then, it wouldnt be funny. But Cindy Blackman definitely plays with the feeling that you cant learn from a book.

[baggins555]

Maybe she can become a boxer or pro football player. wahaha

[ricenbeans27]

Great drummer! I just saw her live in Brazil, she is excelent!

[ethiojazzdrum]

as a guy cindy blackman is a great drummer. WHo said women can't drum. She would kick alot of guy's asses on drums. To saradrummer I agree with you she is a legend in drumming. I mean who has versatility like that.

[2duiuuji]

What is the ratio between legendary male drummer and legendary female drummer?

[ZildginVicFirth]

ha ha ha 5000000:1 dude

[GaryNull]

Karen Carpenter could kick yours and cindy's ass.

[drummerkid71]

@GaryNull Karen Carpenter was a PHENOMINAL drummer. Not to many people (today) know that. Kudos to you for recognizing.

[ppetracco]

I dig her playing a lot. But I hate this masturbating shit she's playing..

[Saradrummer]

To twistyMcfistyburgerFuckhead...­the only thing u'd eva bang in your life is a drum...soo therefore please enlighten my life with your succesfull attempt at talking shit wanker! Whilst the rest of us laugh at your solipsistic attitude to females and some dudes wife. BTW I'D FUCKING OWN U ON THE DRUMS actualli a two year old would own you! Ha. Ha.

btw CINDY BLACKMAN IS A LEGEND!!

[mollythesard]

Er, okay. That was *ahem* witty.

[sgtpepper1138]

she may have been showing a warmup, everytime someone is shown playing drums by themselves doesn't mean they have to do a complex 20 minute drum solo

[sgtpepper1138]

that's funny, my wife has worked in autoparts for 8 years, and rebuilt a v8 when she was 13

[sgtpepper1138]

women shouldn't work on cars eight right???

[sgtpepper1138]

either

[sgtpepper1138]

shut the hell up jethro, go back to the trailerpark

i'll bet she could kick your ass on the drums

[shrapnelenema]

lol

[whoskater]

stfu have respect just cause shes a better drummer than you and shes a chick so what big deal
