Stormhart Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 As usual people are down right sexist its does not come down to gender but talent.Just because there is more male drummers out there does not make them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.R.T Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 if your into tech music then girl drummers arent really going to hold up. maybe this is because girls tend not to be into technical music?but seriously....its not what you can play, but the integrity that you play with.so meg white, lorna from park attack or the girl from ffd kick most guys asses. they all play with unique styles and i think thats something more important than being able to play double bass at a million miles an hour etc. if jimmy hendrix was a girl and played in the exact same sloppy style do you think people would still call her a genius?

nullmouse Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'd add Nan Turner from Schwervon! as another example of a female drummer with style. Another addition would be Rachel from The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, although she is lacking on the technical skill. Still, seeing as she's only nine I'm sure she'll improve.

mydownfallband Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 This thread is ludicrousI have to say who ever started this thread has kinda pissed me of! This really shouldn't be an issue at all, let me lay it out for you all, Yes indeed you get bad girl drumers and you also get shit hot ones...Kapeesh! It's it exactly the same for guys so whats the big fucking deal! If you want proof of this come along and see mydownfall. Iv'e seen a few comments about the white stripes drummer and she probably is utter bolocks but don't forget there such a thing as a mature drummer...

Frosty Jack Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Watch Sheila E on Prince's 'Sign O the Times' tour. Good Lord...Obviously there's no reason why ladies can't be good drummers, but the fact is there are very very few. And I don't just mean uber-technicality, I genuinely haven't seen many who have anything more than very basic ability. But the same goes for guitar, tbh. I don't think many ladies are interested enough to put in the amount of time and dedication necessary to become really good. They usually have better things to do...

soundian Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I've probably met the same percentage of shite male drummers compared to female drummers, I've probably met the same percentage of decent drummers from both genders. There isn't enough female drummers to make generalisations really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I agree that I don't think it's about sexism really at all - it might be one of life's unfathomable mysteries but there's not many women at all on a larger scale held up as being right at the top of their game on drums. Confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's doing the washing up and the ironing while they're out playing gigs?!?! Seriously though, the girl from Hole was no bad. Sometimes I think girls just aren't aggressive enough to play drums.

Confusing. I think it's probably down to percentages again. I've probably seen hundreds, if not thousands, of male drummers but would only rave about a handful, whereas I've probably not seen more than 30 female drummers. If you were to pick 30 male drummers at random I doubt you would get one at the top of their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Our drummer gets a lot of stick for being a lass. People say stuff like' girls just arent built for drums ' or 'girls dont have rythm'. To be honest i think such statements are utter bollocks and that a good drummer is someone who can keep a good rythm ' date=' has a good sense of creativty and doesnt go too over the top, regardless if they have tits or not.What the fuck do [b']you think?Here are the essentiials 1- Nice tits2- A real nice ass3 - Hot lookingThe downers1 - Match stick arms2- A right minger!

rune Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 in my opinion girls can drum just as good as guys' date=' donnas , corrs and white stripes are great examples (as mentoined before)[/quote']Yeah but what happens if their big boobies get in the way!

Rachel is also ace.....asking to go to the lavvie in the middle of a song is my kind of drum solo. I know it's heresy to all you drummers, but my heart sinks when a drum solo starts, eg "Moby Dick" or "Toad".....eek!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
