Oh it totally is. Plus, I would actually find it hotter if she just acted like a normal drummer, instead of the awkward "I'm going to find the camera every 3 seconds and put on a big fake laugh/smile as I'm drumming".
So goofy, imo. It reminds me of the fake excitedness/enthusiasm of hot waitresses. Where most normal guys sit there and think "Alright, we get it, your job is to pretend you're into every customer, we both know that, so why are you acting that way".
Well most guys know that. Then you get the 10% of guys that totally think the waitress likes them.

To her credit at least she appears to be comfortable in front of the camera and having some fun with it.
Which I'd rather see than the Jacqueline Mannering type who's also a female musician on youtube with a few million views. But seems to have been put into positions that don't play to her strengths.
A few years ago she uploaded this video, which is sitting around 11 million views:
Spoiler!
Ok, nothing wrong there, decent enough playing, but as a result of the views/buzz she was generating someone fronted the big money for this monstrosity:
Spoiler!
Which is little more then 3 minutes of trying to shoehorn an awkward teenager into the "sexy pop star" template. All I can think while watching that video is "damn she looks uncomfortable & stiff in all that make up and stage lighting".
She doesn't appear to be getting any enjoyment out of it, and displays pretty much zero charisma. Which is fine, not all performers need to have a 10,000 WATT smile and great stage moves, but you've gotta taylor the packaging/styling of a performer to their strong suits at the very least.
At least Meytal appears to be comfortable with what she's doing and leveraging her strong points in the right ways.

Ugh. As a drummer I loathe the way she plays. If she weren't a moderately attractive young woman nobody would care about her playing. No feeling, no emotion, and if it weren't for some studio magic on these recordings you'd realize how little dynamic and feel is in the way she hits the drums.
You're playing metal. Hit the f#$@ing drum.

Playing in a studio with a mic'd set is not the same as playing in a live show. Everything else aside, I get the feeling some people don't quite understand that...

So you think you can hit the drums softer as long as it's mic'd and it'll sound big? I think you're the one not quite understanding.
Hitting a mic'd drum softly sounds like someone hitting a mic'd drum softly.
She's an attractive girl but man that picture is as unflattering as can be and probably a good indication of what she will look like on a good day when she's in her 30's.

I don't play drums and that drives me crazy about the way she plays as well.
