Who is the chick drummer?
M Ward for me is one of the really talented singer/songwriters currently on the planet, and has an interesting finger style on both acoustic and electric guitar.
Anyway, just when I thought Meg White of White Stripes was the only female drummer around, I realized that M Ward has one as well. BTW check the guy playing the hubcap.....he is pretty good too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjkH40Mx0bc&NR=1 |
Speaking of chick drummers (before Karen Carpenter of course), there was Honey Lantree of the 60s Brit group, the Honeycombs.

I do believe I just discovered why there aren't too many buxom lasses on the drum kits, but she does a credible job.

don't forget Lenny Kravitz's Cindy Blackman.

Or Sheila E with Prince.
|
Or Karen Carpenter...
(Edit: oops I see she's already been mentioned) |

Or the excellent jazz drummer Terri Lyne Carrington.

Then there is the Scotswoman Evelyn Glennie, the nearly deaf "percussionist." She is way beyond just a drummer.

I heard Debra Dobkin with Richard Thompson on his "1000 Years of Popular Music" show . . . amazing: http://www.debradobkin.com/music.php

Don't forget Ruth Underwood, who played with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention from 1967 to 1977.

She brought the house down with her performance. At one point she must have played steadily for 25-30 minutes (talk about aerobics!) |
