Oh hoh... that's a toughie... I don't know how to answer that... woohoo!
I guess that drummer for the Corrs could count as pretty.

personally, I think that the '3 minute thing' applies to both genders. There are many guys who pick up for the wrong reason, to try to impress girls. Whether you have the will to continue learning and the passion to sustain you through the frustration and setbacks you'll encounter along the way has nothing to do with your gender.
Don't mistake me for a hardcore feminist
I'm just trying to set the record straight, and hopefully no one out there thinks poorly of female drummers, that we have less stamina or whatever rubbish MCPs have come up with.

female drummers are hot, seriously.. audrey is good!
sheila E anyone?
went for her "concert" titled abraham and friends. she was the drummer for that concert. very nice!
she did some double bass solos and threw 2 pairs of drumsticks to the audience. what was amazing was that she could throw the drumsticks and pick up some sticks from her bag so fast!

WHY CANT FEMALE DRUMMERS BE AVERAGE LOOKING N ATTRACT ATTENTION! ahahaha. k, kidding. and lol does the white stripes' drummer pass off as a female drummer? -_-" even though her beats are simple, they're powerful mannnn. haha.
totally agree with hush-d. Females have an extra battle to fight--not only must we be DAMN good, cos an average female drummer would just be booed but we have to be pretty too. hmmmph. Do we look at guys and look at whether he's hot or not before we say he's good? if a girl does that she's accused of being shallow. whereas when guys do that, they're just 'being guys.' fairness people. goodness. so much for women's lib.
Let's all wear nerdy glasses so guys can learn not to give a hoot about looks then. 
It's something we can't change, really. It's quite rare to see female drummers, so the hormones suddenly wake up and there you have it.
All you need is your own skill. Don't really matter what other people think. If they think you're good because you're a girl who can play a beat, so be it. If they think you won't ever be good because you're a girl, will you let it get to you?
Just play for yourself.

I think being a passionate serious and committed musician, it`ll come to a point where the issue of sexuality dosen matter. Heck, you wun even bother abt the issue. I do know a lot of gd musician, who viewed fellow musicians as musicians regardless of sex. Whether male, female all the same, no such thing as male can do it or female cant do it...
At that point, the musician would prob be blasting her brains out on ways to improve yada yada yada then think abt sexuality issue kekeke...

true. But when you encounter people who should have no bias having a bias, like teachers, it becomes difficult to focus solely on skills. And you have to admit, it will get on a girl's nerves when she hears a really good drum solo coming from a girl who's about average looking and a guy going disgustedly, "she's not pretty at all." haiyoh. headache.
hehe thats probably a true in many guys heads lol..
nevertheless i feel female drummers quite cool...
the only one i hav seen was caroline corr even tho she wasnt exactly a gd drummer but she played well for her kind of music and den back den i didnt noe how to drum so was pretty intrigued...
and yea i would probably notice a band with a female drummer more than a male

disclaimer: my opinions are formed by my experience with my students (and 80% of them were females)
i should say that females analyse, grasp, understand and learn (eg rudiments) better than males, and they manage certain dynamics with lesser effort than males as well. they are mindful of what you tell them to take note when they practise plus they have a better learning attitude too (males and their pride...argh). one of the obvious reasons why they pick up fundamentals quicker than males - they're not shy to be corrected.
however, dynamics like open and closed strokes, accents and moving round the kit - the males manage them more swiftly. the biggest difference is the males are more "innovative". they can do all kinds of shite like a trill+accented semiquaver+paradiddle with cym and snare etc etc. i figured it's probably due to the logical minds males have.
also, males DO have more stamina than females. unacceptable to some, but true.
bottomline, the female students progress faster in the initial stages, but the male students go further in drumming.
