Favorite Drum Solo Clips on youTube?

[shems]

I'm putting together a playlist of great drum solos clips for one of my students on youtube - any suggestions?

here's what I've got so far...though I'm thinking to refine it a little (I only put mine on there because my student asked me to):

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I like that you have so many different ones so that your student will be able to see all the different styles. By the way....in the first Didem vid that you have, in the beginning the host was saying something to her and pinching/rubbing her. Do you have any idea what he was saying?

This is my favorite. I call this lady "Miss Machine Gun Hips". She was nervous, apparently, and kept dropping her veil, but even so. (Veil in a drum solo?) The drum solo starts at exactly 1:30.

Here she is doing the same routine apparently at the same competition, only seems to be on a different day, without the veil. Here she looks more vivacious and confident. Click on the thumbnail where she is wearing the green and yellow costume, left hand, second row down.

Here's my favorite: Soraia Zaied. There's no stopping her once her hips get going. There's also a part one to this performance.

I think she tried to get rid of it and it got caught in her hair. To her credit, she doesn't keep trying to disentangle it, but it is a bit distracting during the drum solo. Poor thing!

I adore this Khaleed Mohamed drum solo choregraphy with a khaleeji twist. This dancer is just spot on the entire time. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BXSqRw5zB4"]YouTube - Tabla solo with khaleji piece[/ame]

I almost forgot about this clip by Maiada. Love her energy here and check out the turkish drop + the zaar finish. Plus, I'm loving the fact that it looks like improv.

Shameless plug here. This is my first drum solo...might be good to show students as I've only been dancing 3 years....

That music isn't khaleeji; it's a Port Said rhythm, I think. They sing that "wadana" thing in that region.

I guess "with a khaleeji twist" would be the correct way to put it, though. I've heard it advertised as khaleeji as if the music was from the Gulf. Sorry, done nitpicking! Nice choreography, nice dancer!

Thanks for posting the Maiada clip- she kicks ass! I will be hiding under my bed now....
