Women and girls have been playing drums as long as drums have been around. With the growth of the internet and supportive movements around the world, the number of female drummers visible in modern music is growing quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it may seem silly to have a \u2018guide to female drummers\u2019 when there\u2019s no \u2018guide to male drummers\u2019, it\u2019s important to highlight and celebrate the major influence women have had on a male-dominated industry, and keep doing so until gender doesn\u2019t matter to anyone (psst…it shouldn\u2019t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this guide, we\u2019re only skimming the surface. It\u2019s heavily geared toward drum set players in North America in the last century. We’d eventually like to include major league percussionists like Jody Linscott, Bobbye Hall and Marilyn Mazur, and crossover performers such as Kiran Gandhi (MIA) and Kenya’s Muthani Ndonga. Consider this an evolving resource!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
