"After more than 100 drum covers, I'm ready to take a leap. I've learned so much by playing along with my favorite songs but I decided it was time to get back to the real reason I became a musician and moved from Israel to Los Angeles eight years ago: to play music with people, for people."
Meytal' s first original song, Breathe, features a band made up of top studio musicians, including Meytal on drums, Gil Baram and Sahaj Tinotin on guitars, and Eric Emrey on vocals.
According to Meytal, this line-up will remain the core of the project with additional musicians and guest artists appearing to meet the musical needs of her other new songs both on the album and in future live performances.
Because of her success on YouTube and Facebook, it's no surprise that Meytal is turning to her online supporters and asking them to help fund the new music project through KickStarter. Meytal has put together an extensive presentation on the KickStarter site with photos, bio, videos and notes as well as a host of premiums and packages for anyone who pledges as little as $1.
Everyone who contributes will get a free download of Breathe while higher value pledges will receive a selection of personal items, DW Drums, Meinl Cymbals, Vic Firth drumsticks or even a lesson from the drummer, herself. Meytal says it's time for her to find her own voice:
"It's time for her to find her own voice — to take all that I've learned from the bands, drummers and musicians that I look up to and create something new. For the longest time I was waiting for my big opportunity to come along. I thought that if I just keep doing what I love and keep working hard, this opportunity would just show up. But I've recently realized that there's no guarantee anything is going to happen unless you make it happen. So this is me making it happen."
