Sara I play metal myself and I get a lot of negative attitude, but people are often amazed when they see me play because I kick most of the boys asses! I love being a drummer though, it's awesome!
who gets angry at some peoples perceptions of a female drummer, stereotyping and descrimination. lets have a chat about it, its interesting to hear peoples views.
Got my first kit at 16, a beat up old Premier with bin lid cymbals! Got my current kit at 19, started a music course at college at 22 which I'm just about to finish. Played only 6 live gigs and am currently looking for a band. I play mostly metal with a double kick pedal but hopefully hope to expand my kit to get a second kick drum.
Describe Your Drum Kit:
Premier Cabria standard 5 piece in metallic blue. Sabian hats, 2 crashes and ride, Paiste splash, Big Dog double kick pedal. I use Vic Firth Metal N sticks.
