This is not to take anything away from Sina. She’s great. An amazing drummer. But there’s never been a pure rock drummer like John Bonham. Perhaps Karen Carpenter. And…that’s about it.

That’s a great cover. And there’s nothing wrong with this, but she’s not Bonham. She’s a little too on top of the rhythm. Bonham dances with the rhythm, he plays with it and brings it where he needs it to be before you know it needs to go there. He’s behind the next note when that’s what makes sense and emphasizes or drags out a few phrases to make the music better. And, mostly, Sina doesn’t do any of that. Because what Bonham does can’t be imitated and probably cannot be taught.

Sina’s cover is technically perfect. But it’s also a bit shallow. It just doesn’t have the same soul.

Sina is better than almost any drummer who has ever lived. But when you’re playing against Bonham that simply does not matter.

Now compare Sina’s version with the original.

That hurried little fills in Kashmir are so great. How you learn to do something like that I cannot even begin to imagine.
