Female Drummers

[GeorgeG]

There are a lot of really good female drummers. Our concert band drums/percussion section is all female and our jazz and swing band had a really good female drummer for the last four years. She recently left because she was in so much demand with other pro bands. These are all adult bands.

I've always been a huge Karen Carpenter fan and never realized how good a drummer she was until I saw her play in a live show.

Kid Rock has a female drummer. Stand your ground and drum if you want to.

When I think of drummers, the first drummer that comes to mind is Sheila E.

me too!!!


We saw her with Ringo and his All Star Band. When she was first introduced, the audience didn't seem to excited, but when she finished her set she got a standing O'. She's very cool.

I played drums in the Jr. High and High School bands. Had to quit after knee surgery when I couldn't carry the base.......
I would have continued if it wouldn't have been for that. Loved it.
