    Thumbs up Female Drummers

    This thread is meant to honor female drummers. I will post various links to vids of female drummers famous and or starting out.

    Males dominate the drum world and sadly, lady drummers do not get enough coverage. This thread is not meant to degrade women, please, keep comments clean. If you have links to a good vid of a lady drummer, please post it and tell us what you think.

    How many of you know Karen Carpenter played the drums? I did not know until early last year, she has skill that would give many of us a run for our money.

    Notice the Metronome as she plays. Aweseom kit, skill that can match many on the stage.

    If there are any women here at DC, please feel free to post a vid of your talent here. I know there is a drum thread to post vids of drummers and their kits, but this is for ladies only far as vids, anyone may comment and offer thoughts on the vids posted so long as the comments are clean and offer perspective on how other members may learn from the vid.

    Dude, I thought this thread was about honoring female drummers? One - there's nothing extraordinary about Karen Carpenters drumming, other than that she's a girl. And B, The Carpenters give Bread a run for their money for being the gayest band of all time. Women aren't going to scale the heights of music greatness by emulating run-of-the-mill performers.

    Did I mention I hate The Carpenters?

    Well I never stated I like the Carpenters not one of my favorites either, but she is a drummer. I was just surprised she played. Here is another female drummer who has several posts on various sites. She is about 17 or 18 years old. Been playing less then 5 years.

    Near flawless but some of you experts out there I am sure can find the obvious errors that new drummers like myself clearly miss.

    LoL kind of a shocking post coming from you (just watched your church vid) "gayest and just a girl" :( heheheeh ok ok but intent is, this thred is to show that women drum too. Did you know the ratio is 100 male drummers to 1 female drummer that is interesting. If it were guitars the ratio is much smaller.

    Good ZZ Cover, I am sure the church members enjoyed the evening.

    LoL I am sure Meg White will stir up even more chat than did Karen Carpenter but Meg does drum so credit goes to her for picking up the sticks. I'll have to hunt down a vid clip now unless you have one.

    Meg White and why is everyone so hard on her. I know her beats are pretty basic but she makes a heck of lot more $$$ then I do

    Yes, that's probably true, if you look at just drummers. There are tons of world class woman musicians, though, both as instrumentalists and vovalists. There are far fewer great woman guitarists compared to men too. It seems more highly talented female musicians are attracted to Classical music, and strings in particular, than other forms and instruments.

    I'm pretty sure we've touched on this point in the past somewhere - unfortunately i'm at wokr atm - so i can't hunt down what i'm looking for, but i came across one female drummer who just blew me away - and i mena in the sense that she played better than allot of male durmmers around - even outplayed the dude from sepulture in one vid i watched - at least she did IMO. i'll see if i can track that post down

    Cant find it - damn. anyways - managed to remeber the durmmers name - Sheila E. She is amazing. Like, forget that she's female and she is just amazing. unfortunately, as has already been pointed out - due to the rather small amount of female drummers period, any that have an iota of talent are considered brilliant and women like Sheila E only seem to be recognised for that fact they are female - and no one points out that she is in the same league as drumming legends like Peart and Bonham - at least I think she is.
