"Their latest clip features Russian viral drummer Kristina Rybalchenko, aka Kriss, who Drumeo named as its "Instagram Drummer of the Year" back in 2022. Kriss has now amassed one of the largest social media followings of any drummer, even garnering the attention of Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit, who let her premiere one of their songs in a TikTok video."
"After admitting she was nervous for the challenge and expressing some stupification upon hearing the drumless version, she quickly pockets herself into the song's rhythm section while following Pete Townshend's guitar for cymbal and fill cues. In short, she's a natural, and it soon becomes a matter of her learning the arrangement, with Drumeo highlighting Kriss' particularly efficient methods of picking up on new songs."
