Zepparella

Enjoy.

If you're gonna learn to drum by covering someone, why not learn from one of the best. Bonham. And that little lady has learned well.

Oh yeah. They're tight.

from one of the best. Bonham.

It's very close between John Bonham & Keith Moon to who is / was the greatest drummer. My vote would go for Moon.

Roxy Petrucci - But that's only because I, way back as a little brat, had a crush on her sister Maxine when they played in Madame X........

Lol. Yeah, that's about how serious this thread will be taken too. ATS isn't much for music threads, but it's one I've wanted to put together for a while, and it was a Saturday afternoon...

Yeah, good call Klass. This is one forum I'm trying to focus now. So much to share and discuss but not too much ATS activity. Last week I got THIS one, maybe you want to check.

Now, between the ones listed by you I think I'd go for Sheila E and Jen Ledger.

Belinda was super hot and Gina Schock could for sure play the drums.
Nice thread..


And Debbi Peterson with The bangles.




Just realized she is on the tambourine in that video
Drumming in this one.

Oh yeah, get the funk out!

The drummer's snare sounds like she's wackin' a pillow way cool!

Tasty tune Olaru.

Gina is another one that didn't get much recognition. Partly because she's female, and partly because people didn't take the band she was playing for seriously. Which is odd, because the go-go's are the most successful female band ever.

Not sure if she's listed in this thread yet, but how about Meytal Cohen?

Madonna.

Certainly not one of the best, but interesting that most folk don't know that she used to be a drummer in the early 80's in a band called 'The Breakfast Club'


Madonno drums

Yep. Talked about her on the first page. I think when Meytal comes into her own, she's going to be a good drummer. Keep an eye on her. Her first album is pretty good, btw.

Yep. She wasn't a particularly good drummer, but she could play drums, guitar, and piano too, if I remember right. She really is a talented lady, whether or not one likes her music.

Good solo, but watching her play with the band tells me a lot more about her. Which I did, and she's no slouch. She's obviously been playing a while. There's some style and personality there. Thanks for adding her to the list.

Dumpstaphunk. Lol. Love it!

I could really give a flying f77k about the persons gender.

Be good at your craft. Good at your art. That's all I give a f77k about.


I am sick and tired of all of this divide and concur bs.

Oh yay! Great thread!!
Thanks for starting it!
I so enjoy the cornucopia of inspiration here!
Trying to learn to play myself, I always fantasized about being able to. I am starting too late to ever be very good, and I know it. But I love to admire women who are!!

I wish everyone felt that way. Unfortunately they don't, and this isn't about "divide and conquer". It's about women in music who ARE good at their craft, but aren't always recognized for it. Lets not turn it into something that it isn't.
