I heard of a local one. Audrey, Berklee graduate. Her band is Walking On Water.
yea, i've heard her play at a workshop and then at a gig as an alumni for some school... ahh, she's good! many drummers i've heard (local), girls and guys, can play well (rolls and fills and funky grooves and drum solos and fast songs, etc) but they can't keep a beat. audery, she's good! one of those walking metronomes...
i personally know of a few female drummers, and those that really wanna be a good drummer, they're good! one girl in my church started learning drums less than a year ago and now she owns, serious! i also know of a girl who can do a drum roll, (those on the snare, i think its called a push roll or something, used a lot in marching bands that kinda stuff) very smoothly, clearly, at a constant beat, AND u can see the amount of control she has of the sticks. its amazing, really.
so there, guy drummers out there, girls CAN do what you do, its just more dainty if they dont go headbanging with their hair flying around and making lots of noise hitting the drumset so hard the person sitting next to it is gonna get deaf.
