Hi my daughter is a drummer and she is 8 years old. She been playing ever since she was 5. She is pretty good. I think if she keeps going she will be one of the hots musicians out there when she gets older. Because she sings well and she is starting to learn songs on the keyboard. She plays for my group RIGHT KNOW!

But she is getting discouraged because she has only saw one female drummer play, and she is already on that sisters level. The sister is a older sister. Sometimes she say girls don't play the drums, drums are for boys. I try to tell her that there are girl drummer out there. There are no girl drummers at our church and the guy drummers are off the hook. There only a couple of female drummers in Boston Ma. One of the lady drummers, my daughter is already on her level. The other I have only heard of but never saw and don't know how to get in contact with her. I heard that she is off the hook.

If there are female drummers out there that play the drums really good can you please send a picture of you playing or a video or some words of encourgment. You can send it to me private or though the message board I think if she sees a female drummer she will become excited again about the drums.
Thanks and
Be blessed in Jesus name

Well, im a female drummer & i just love it when i go 2 a church & the other drummers sit there like i don't know what im doing, so it's like they sit & wait 4 me 2 mess up. But by the time service is over I hear the other musicians saying "man that girl is GOOD" ! I just smile & go on b/c i know it wasn't me that was playing; I was letting the Lord use me :lol: So 2 any girl drummer, i just want u 2 keep ya head up, keep praying & believing cuz "we" as female musicians have 2 stick 2gether

Actually that's incorrect. I played with 3 Strands Christian Church which is being held at the Hollywood 20 movie theater on Woodruff road for a year and a half.

U know, I don't think anyone should look at a drummer for their gender but their heart and willingness to be the best "they can be." That being said, if ya'll haven't checked out Kim Thompson, she's pretty sick. She's got some serious pocket. I caught her at the 55 bar with Ricahrd Bona and Mike Stern. Camile Garner stopped in to check out the show too. That's another sick cat. Woman can play, and they can play for real and I don't doubt a woman's character, strength or ability. Heck man, its about music and love of God and life. No need to compare men and woman or compare ourselves to each other. In the end all we doing is finding our voice that God gave us. Some just say it better than others.

Cora Coleman is cold, she was nice back when she was at Kashmere High School (excellent music program since the days of Prof. Conrad Johnson!!! my mom came through the program under "Prof"). Cora and some other drummers/musicians were tryin' to get me to go there and join the band. I chose another school, but I learned a lot about technique and musicianship from her way back in the day.

If it wasn't for a girl drummer my talent wouldn't exist. My aunt taught me how to play and to me she is one of the best drummers I've ever heard and if you heard her you would think so too.

Hi, I'm a female drummer. I've been playing at my church New Mt. Calvary M.B.C. for about 8 years now. I also play at a church called Greater Faith B.C. for the past 3 years. I'll probably play till I'm 85 years old! That will be something to see!

Hello to all my female drummer's, :lol:
My name is Jhenese Hester and I play for RiZen. I've been playing for 14 years. I started playing in church when I was 10 years of age. My advice to you ladies will be to practice, practice and practice. Reason being female drummer's are now becoming more popular we need to be at our best. I have been blessed to accomplish some of dreams. Meaning traveling on the road having endorsements and all that stemed from me sitting down at my drumkit learning the fundmentals. I'm endorse with Vater Sticks, Sabian Cymbals and I'm gettting ready to sign a drumkit deal. I have a DVD coming out next year to help female's from a woman perpective. I'll keep you'll posted.

Be Blessed,
Jhenese
p.s. it really blessed my heart to see how many female drummer are out there.

Yo, I know of a couple of female drummers one in VA and a couple in Philly, and they are the right answer. Just like everybody said there is not any gender discriminatoin in drumming, and when you see other drummers praising the Lord for their gift and using their gift for the glorification of God it just makes you give god a praise REal FAst!
