Title: Who is the Best female Gospel Drummer !!
Post by: Zelevo on February 28, 2006, 05:25:18 AM: My take on this will be Sheryl Harper just because she is the only one I know. Are there any others.

Terri does not play gospel...

The question is about top female gospel drummer not female drummer.

Everything I have seen here do in gospel has been percussion and Music Direction not drumset. I am not sleeping on Sheila E. ... just haven't seen her playing drumset in the gospel arena. I know she performed at Drummers for Jesus year before last and the year before that but I don't know if she played traps/drumset or not and haven't seen clips from it.

Post by: Zelevo on March 01, 2006, 06:17:25 AM: Exactly - We are talking about a rare breed here. My question is why are there so few female gospel drummers in this Ministry.
Is it because they are not good enough? No exposure, opportunities, I don't know. I don't really know !!!

It also shows how far Sheryl Harper has come and why she deserves her props!!
She must celebrate her!!! Most people don't even know who she is and how she looks like, the numerous albums she has played on etc etc. I don't believe she even has a website. For such a well-respected personality in the industry I forward the motion that next week
Should be Sheryl Harper Week.!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I would want to see her section in Drummerworld!!! and her own
Instruction DVD courtesy of Gospel Chops. com!!!!
