The 2018 Hit Like A Girl Contest

Hit Like A Girl, the international drum contest for female drummers, is starting on March 1st — and at Drumeo, we’re so proud to be sponsoring the event that spotlights female drummers/percussionists and encourages lifelong musicianship for girls and women, regardless of age or playing level.

In its seventh year, Hit Like A Girl has empowered more females to become players — giving them the opportunity to showcase their skills with a 3-minute drumming video and receive feedback from celebrity judges including Emmanuelle Caplette, Hannah Welton, Yissy Garcia, Collette Williams, Peter Erskine, Kaz Rodriguez, Dom Famularo, and Aaron Spears.

“Take a look at bands, orchestras, drum lines, drum schools, drum media, drum festivals around the world and you’ll see a huge increase in the quantity, quality and influence of female drummers,” says Hit Like A Girl co-founder David Levine. “The companies sponsoring Hit Like A Girl are the companies that are supporting the growth of female drumming.”

All female amateur drummers, percussionists, and programmers are encouraged to participate. Solos, covers, or gigs are all fair game. Just make sure to showcase your skills.
