ditto. If it's the choice about playing in your bra or passing out, the former is such a great option! :lol:

lol, I don't really drum like that anymore, but when I was playing in a punk band (NOFX kind of style), it really made you sweat, so I had too. Still funny though as people still remember me for it, lol.

Can't do it now-a-days though. I'm 24 and have to be a bit more ladylike, lol

Most of America DOES suck... we do not give the British bands (that are usually superior to our own) as much respect as they deserve.... America is where the emo/scene trend has spread, where all the rap trends is.... you clean that up, then I will take back what I said, until then... MOST OF AMERICA SUCKS. :P

Good thing you recognized that. But come on, we don't want any fights, so stop yelling at me for stating my opinions... FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

I'm a female drummer. my band's space is myspace.com/foolscapfire. I don't think I'm a great drummer, sometimes I think I try to do to much because I began as a strictly punk rock drummer and kinda taught myself(no lessons or help from anyone). So I didn't get a lot of the basics that I needed....now I'm working on those so it's like learning to play backwards. I always feel intimidated by most male drummers, and I go to see a lot of live bands so I get intimidated a lot....but then I'll see a male drummer who isn't even as good as me and(I know it sounds mean) but it makes me feel better. I wish that I didn't feel like my drumming will always be inferior to most male drummers. Maybe someday I won't. I do know that I started at the age of 28, whereas most guys I know started at around age 14, so I have an EXCUSE!. I don't like being referred to as a chick drummer, or playing a show because they want to book a band with a chick drummer, I just would like to be appreciated as a drummer..period, even though I think I have a long way to go in the skills department. that's all. whoooo long ass post! tori castellano from the donnas is one of my favorite drummers ever!

word of advice from one female drummer to another- play on the fact your female!!!!!! It's a great way for getting your band noticed and remembered. Even if you hate it, use it to your advantage!!! You'll get more than you think... :wink: 8)
