I've heard of Meytal, and have watched her drum cover videos. She's a really good drummer, but having said that, there are a lot of "good" drummers (side note - and they are all still better than me).
There are a lot of people on YouTube criticizing her for being average but getting her success through her looks. On the one hand, I feel that it's true that people pay her videos attention because of her looks and that she is a really good drummer, but not phenomenally amazing. On the other hand, she seems humble and is making music that connects with people, and not blatantly over-sexualizing her videos, so I don't begrudge her success a single bit.
When I watched this TEDTalk, her humility was confirmed when she said that she's not the greatest drummer, and her message of making a living playing drums on the internet is inspirational.
