Uh...
"girls can't play instruments wah wah wah"
etc
the one from ipso facto is the best one
lolz. went to school with her, innit.
she was in my Music Technology class and all. I couldn't possibly comment on her drumming.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF THEY ARE A BOY OF A GIRL?
WHY SHOULD I DIFFERENTIATE? YOU ARE A MASSIVE SEXIST.
Xzibit isn't even a female
let alone a drummer
That was tres poor.
autolux lady
Carla Azar
i forgot about this
http://www.autolux.net/elbowmadness.html
ouch!
explain?
Carla is probably my favourite female drummer...
but yeah, she fell offstage whilst entangled in cables and had to break her fall with her elbow.
Also, that comment at the bottom about girl drummers having no style; Carla's style is immense. She's one of my favourite drummers regardless of sex, because of her style.
I was trying to find that image
earlier today and couldn't.
But yeah, she fell off the stage while playing as support to Elvis Costello and had to have it all pinned.
As soon as i saw the thread i thought this.
JOHN OTTO
TAKE IT TO THE MATTHEWS BRIDGE
Allison from Awesome Color
she hits the drums like a fucking champ and they're a damn awesome band to boot.
Yoshimi P-We of Boredoms fame as well.
If making the distinction makes me a bad person then so be it, I just think these two are worthy of attention.
victorian english gentlemans's club..
Urrrrm....
Janet Weiss. End of thread.
yep
.
that fat one
from glasvegas.
Sheila
E.
I like her
but when I saw Glasvegas she was hidden in a red haze
Meg White
Yes!
There are no good female drummers
At least no notable ones. FACT.
Whether this is as a result of years of oppression or what, I don't give a fuck. There's no notable female drummers.
In the same way that there are very few notable female guitar players.
ooh
aren't you clever telling us your FACTS.
Twit.
Karen Carpenter
watch this and weep my friend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdHyzGXAJPg
ha
JANET WEISS???
KAREN CARPENTER????
NOTABLE AS FUCK.
IN YOUR FACE, PRICK.
somebody has already mentioned her but...
Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney.
Chi from The Go! Team
Katie from Forward Russia
Georgia Hubley (Yo La Tengo)
Moe Tucker!
I can't think of any other female drummers who came before her in modern popular music? She's gotta be my fave, awesome pounding metronomic drumming!
She was the foundation to the velvet underground and massively important to their sound. Compare loaded to the rest of their stuff.
who?

The International Sweethearts of Rhythm
All-girl racially mixed big band
Pauline Braddy on drums
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tpNjAmQmq90
check it
i've never been impressed by a female drummer
every one i've seen has no style at all.
georgia hubley, motherfuckers
to repeat what someone already said
Valentina
what used to be in Querelle, and is now in some other band I can't remember the name of. She was (and presumably still is) an incredible drummer, possibly the best of either sex I've seen up play up close.
Yeah, Valentina was my first thought.
She's in Buttonhead and Shit'n'Shine at the moment. Maybe more...
Juanita Stein
She plays drums now, you know.
Kinda.
she wins by default
Whatever anyone posts
Is pointless OOO OWHAT ABOUT THIS WOMAN.
It doesn't fucking matter.
There are no female drummers or female guitar players of note when held up against their male counterparts.
yes, yes
you've made your ooh so contentious comment. Back to your NME now.
Yeh
WOW TEH NME>>> That's such an insulting thing to say to me. What the fuck does the NME have to do with female drummers? I didn't think it actually had anything to do with music.
It's no contentious, it's true.
now, now
don't get your NME loving knickers in a twist. Just because you post some random shite on a messageboard doesn't make it true. For example, I could write that you appear to be an ill informed berk, but that doesn't make it true does it?
Does it?
Are
You suggesting that you can name a lot of female drummers of note?
If you can, be my guest.
LOZL YOU LUV TEH NMEZ.
rather than
splashing your verbal spew and checking for your own chunks of "facts", why not read the comments above. x
unlucky
You can't.
my god, you're
right.
There aren't ANY.
None.
Not one.
Thanks
I AM TEH WINNOR.
grow
up. yeah?
Keith Moon
she was a right pretty lady
mmm

Yuko Araki
from Cornelius.
Fucking awesome!
the drummer frommmmm
forward russia, and also the sexy grl drummer from the whip. gave me something to be interested in whilst they murdered my ears at fabric on friday.
Lil Fee
- It was ironically Zapsta's rant above ('boy or girl') that prompted me to listen to X Marks the spot right through about an hour ago - and I'm now stoopid enough to admit: 'I enjoyed it' - I have twice tried to see The Whip, bought tickets but on on both occasions been unable to go
They are fucking awful.
But a lot of people seem to like them. Surely they can't be worse live than on radio? Or maybe...
Hardly notable
also, she's pretty dull. 16ths all over the shop, that's about it.
Sara Lund
of Unwound was a mighty drummer
Girls shouldn't play musical instruments
They don't suit it, only the piano
Kathy Foster
of The Thermals and All Girl Summer Fun Band. She rules.
thanks!
to all the posters above who point out that girls can't play drums or guitar at all and should just stop it etc....
doh!
wish someone had told me that 10 years ago and i wouldn't have wasted my time being in bands and putting out albums and singles and playing live...oh what am i thinking i wasn't 'playing' was I cos girls can't can they?
Silly silly girls that even try!
Hey girls/ladies/women/felines what say we all give up now on the advice of better informed chaps?
Women obviously can't
play. Tits get in the way! Nails will be broken. It's a FACT that BOYS ARE BETTER .Ugly faces may be pulled ruining the illusion of frantic-wanker indie boys that all women just want to gaze doe eyed at some pasty faced spod plucking out a Jeff Buckley dirge. Besides,if women are pretending to be in bands,who's going to make tea?
well personally speaking
i use my nipples for plectrums
hehehehe
hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehhehehehehhe

Moe Tucker
and Janet Weiss are among my favourite drummers, not just female drummers.
Carla Azar
from autolux is ace, a really good drummer with a brilliant feel.
Rebecca
from Slow Club. Saw them at latitude and her drumming is so tight, but also subtle and she sings beautifully at the same time. Awesome.
Screaming tea party
Glasvegas
Those Dancing ays.
The glasvegas drummer
is soooo dull.
Screaming tea party?!!
Are you talking about Teresa or her replacement? Ms T couldnt drum her way out of a paper bag!
lol she looked mental though
i wouldn't mess. same as the old sailplanes drummer.
I love screaming tea party. How do you know them Bundoz?
I'd Jag the thread if only i could tie in my band having a girl drummer. alas i was born different than other ladies.
I think the Glasvegas drummer does exactly what is needed, that is why she is so good. A bad drummer in my book is one that doesn't know when to stop in a song, or does fills ni the verse for no reason.
Re Screaming Tea Party 'drummer'
Ms T was briefly in my band a few years back. We sacked her. Nuff said.
Hillarious
See this is my point exactly. No offense to "Rebecca from Slow Club" but the fact that people are mentioning unsigned bands drummers prove my point. There are no female drummers of note when compared to their male counterparts.
I see your "Rebecca from Slow Club" and raise you a Buddy Rich. None of the women mentioned here could compare to any notable male drummer.
let me guess
you are a male drummer who doesn't get laid, right?
who drums for lightspeed champion?
i like her.
The Donnas
even if she has mashed her foot and can't play real fast anymore.
think most of my faves have been mentioned
Valentina from Querelle/Econoline/Shit n Shine (mental)
her from Screaming Tea Party (new one)
Yola from the Sailplanes (fucking incredible, puts everyone to shame)
her from Cat on Form (reminds me of Unwound)
Ania from Time.Space.Repeat
and our Lex from Amy Blue (best musician in the group. fact.)
In fact, this lot are all so talented i can't think of many better english drummers, perhaps him from YouthMovies or JonPartChimp..?
Actionforce!
www.myspace.com/actionforce
kim
from matt & kim
The drummer from Vialka
Janet Weiss
Prince's drummer in Sign O' The Times
oh fuck yeah!
Marylise from Vialka is shit hot.
Mimi from Low :)
The Drummer from Queen?
plus
Mo tucker
The Girl from Those Dancing days is the best drummer i've seen all year.
Well...
The drummer in my band is pretty damn good, and female, and Polish if that makes any difference.
Also, the drummers in Amy Blue and The Sailplanes are female and very good. But not as good as ours...
Caroline Corr
is my fav.
Jnaet Weiss.
Easily.
Second best is...
Janet Weiss. Jnaet Weiss is a touch better.
Basically
as has been said by me and several others, several times now, Janet Weiss wins this thread hands down.
If she's good enough for Sleater-Kinney, Malkmus, Elliott and Conor Oberst she's good enough for you fools.
And if you're still arguing you know naaathing.
oh fahck orf speccy!
our drummer's better than your drummer!
Actually they're two completely different Animals, but all the more reason to get your ship sorted so we can sort this out where it matters - on stage!
<throws gauntlet down>
Pikachu from Afriampo
is pretty good.
Yoshimi P-We - Boredoms
Carla Azar - Autolux
and there's at least one, if not more, female drummer in Shit and Shine - they're all amazing live.
Yoshimi! Yeah, she rules.

zarah
from baby gravy
New
New BRMC drummer who also tour drummed for Raveonettes - she is sex! Shit drummer tho
