    Thumbs up Pleasure to Watch Her Play

    I came across Meytal Cohen, when surfing youtube, a pleasant surprise. I feel good watching her play. She's a drummer who has "it". The DC California Drums in some of her vids are sick...

    If a 53 year old balding guy with a gut did that same video would it still interest you?

    Even though I'm sure that 3/4 of her video hits are fan boys hoping for a glimpse, you can't deny the fact that she has some serious chops. But your right, I wouldn't be much interested either.

    +1 on that. Meytal is good at what she does, but I think Rick's statement is dead on. Just one another person's opinion. YMMV.

    I've been checking her vids out for some time now, and has done some really good covers. Easy one the eyes as well. I'm sure that doesn't hurt viewer stats. She was playing Soultone cymbals for a long time and I really liked the sound of the crashes, even had her logo inked onto the cymbals and I thought that was pretty cool as well
    Love my Gretsch sound!

    I never said she had the prowess of the other ladies mentioned. That's not what I'm trying to express. For me it's something in the way she plays. It's an intangible, an aura of enjoyment from playing. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

    I wouldn't be interested watching a 52 year old balding guy with a gut, minus the chops, because I'd be watching me!

    DW and Meinl now sponsor her.

    She's not great, but she is definitely past "basic".

    The internet is incredible. She is becoming an international star, I hear she is even working with some major players, I think I read Dream Theatre guys? And she is not a drummer's drummer, her chops are really young, but she has a good thing going on.

    I saw a novelty video of her with Jordan Rudess doing a rendition of "Move Like Jagger".
    She is gaining quite a following.

    She's also played drums in a N.E.R.D. ft. Nelly Furtado music video called Hot-n-Fun. Really simple but more exposure for her.

    Love my Gretsch sound!

    On her early videos (Meytal), she would just play along with a song and not use any of her own audio, so it was like a lip sync with drums. She is incredibly hot, so would get hundreds of thousands of hits just by smiling at the camera. That always pissed me off, even though I would probably have no problem doing the same if I was in her shoes. Lately however, the audio is her own and her playing has evolved into something impressive, plus she's still crazy hot looking, so her cover videos get gigantic numbers. I agree that an ugly dude doing the same videos would be struggling to get views. Her looks put her on people's radar, but they stay around for the playing. (All of this is merely opinion).
