Sunday Synth Jam: Moves Like Jagger goes samba in this live cover by Meytal Cohen, Tammy Scheffer, Eyal Amir and Jordan Rudess.
This cover manages to rise above the Maroon 5 original, taking the pop song in a syncopated, jazzy direction.
Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) – iPads
Meytal Cohen – Drums
Tammy Scheffer – Vocals
Arranged, Produced and Edited by Eyal Amir
Awful.
Tightly arranged and performed! But mainly I just want to know where Eyal scored the Gentle Giant “In a Glass House” t-shirt (seen at 3:19). I haven’t found it on the interwebs yet!
don’t like
Nicely done. As much as I love drum machines and prefer them to most human drummers I have had the sometimes dubious pleasure of playing with this goes to show how much a good drummer can bring to a piece and a perfomance. Not exactly my kind of song, but well done and probably better than the original.
awful cover and a cringe-making video!
This is a pretty cool cover if you take away Rudess, who is just playing a completely different song. Very annoying.

I’ve written this “hating” post 3 times, then deleted. I figured, if I can’t say something nice…
I like it (I haven’t listened the original)
What’s the connection between them? Are they Rudess’ family?
It maybe school project in iMovie for his nephew.
They’re ‘Youtube famous’, except for Rudess, who’s obviously done a lot wth Dream Theater and as a developer.
And you probably don’t want to hear the original, it’s a pretty lame pop track!
thumbs up for the hot babe in the analog rhythm section
I have developed a new youtube fetish: Beautiful barefoot drummer with a big amazing effortless smile.
If you are not into that kind of music check out her other videos playing system of a down, etc… Pretty tight and that same effortless amazing smile from time to time… I am in love, but I won’t be listening to more death metal though….
Very talented!
Love the drummer, hate the arrangement. Also, there’s nothing synthy about this, even if some of the aprts are being played on an iPad.
Love the drummer, love the vocalist, love the arrangement.
The soft synth work here, though, seems to be mainly a curiosity.
yeh im not getting the “synth” angle either
drummer is hot, but so what
i like samba and bossa nova, but this is way too frenetic for me.. im not sure those genres benefit from “prog rock” style freakiness
All genres would benefit from:
A) More prog-style frenetic solos (preferably by guys with capes); and
B) Hot samba musicians.
Agreed. Utterly fabulous drumming, but the rest leaves me cold.
the original is a classic, commercial pop song.
even the covers on X-Factor were better than this
love the drummer, song was cheesy, not bad, loved the gentle giant t shirt, i want to buy lots of old prog t-shirts that would be KooL
Drummer with cleavage = Hit play button.
I was just happy she could actually drum. I don’t really share her taste for metal, but she can groove.
I can’t believe all the sexist rubbish here!
