Viola Smith just passed away at just short of her 108th Birthday. She was recognized as the first professional female drummer. She often was called the female "Gene Krupa". RIP Viola.

My daughter is 13 and is a 3rd generation female drummer. I played in the 70s & 80s. My mom was a Drummer in the 50s & 60s.

Thats too cool! My son just started playing and I'm hoping he sticks with it. What a cool generational timeline you have

@Xogroroth666 3 года назад

@@StephenTaylorDrums I never cared about a gender in music. I mean, let's take the early Bolt Thrower, where the bassist, Jo-Anne Bench, was immediately among my favourite bass players. One issue with drummers (in general, this is for all sexes) is, that they are mostly left in the dark, somewhere deep behind the rest of the band, both on stage as in interviews. Lars is THE rule breaker in that part. Thank GOD for that, I mean, think of Hetfield as the face of Slayer... This, I think, also is part of this phenomena where males usually are more known. I liked Wanda Day as well, as drummer. Playing for Led Zeppel... no wait, what band was that? :P

@Xogroroth666 3 года назад

EEEW, Jazz... I do not like it. It's AWESOME music, seeing how many follow that style, but is just not my cuppa tea... Beating John Bonham in Playboy...well... I mean... Playboy... Karen vs Bonham... who looks better? JK there, rofl. She truly deserved that title!!!

Karen Carpenter started out as most great drummers do, playing Jazz, she was in the RC Trio with her brother and they won 2x in a row at the Hollywood Bowl, some of their tunes can be heard right on You Tube. Karen could not understand Bonham's indignance, she said" I don't know why he is coming down on me, we play Zep songs in the studio to jam too."

@stacymatthews57789 2 месяца назад

I know I’m years late to the party, but he was one of those men with a fragile ego. They can’t handle it when women can do anything as well or God forbid better than they do. Instead of encouraging, helping or being supportive, they felt/feel the need to say discouraging comments and basically let it be known they don’t think women make good drummers.

@doggk1566 4 года назад

Ruth Underwood's playing from 1972 to 1977 with Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention was incredible. Any musician who played with Frank Zappa had to be top notch.

@StephenTaylorDrums 4 года назад

Couldnt agree more. Monster of a player

@SaintNine 4 года назад

She was my nominee (I mentioned I had one in reply to another comment). Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks she's phenomenal. She played on The Black Page, a notoriously difficult drum/percussion solo. The drum solo was actually played by Terry Bozzio, but on Live in New York there's an “teenage New York, easy listening” version (Zappa's words in the introduction) in which she plays marimba. Not only does she have to deal with the insanely complicated poly and cross rhythms, but she has to play the melody too.

@MARSRAM 2 года назад

Yes I wanted to mention Ruth Underwood also. Then I remembered, … wait she plays Xylophone (well, it looks like Marimba is the accurate instrumental term) & Percussion. I remember an interview where she said she & Zappa had to have her marimbas fashioned with an output jack so it could be amplified on tour.

Thanks for the video, Stephen. This is very inspiring! I've started teaching my younger sister to play the drums. After a couple of lessons and videos shown, she did ask me why she hasn't seen many girl drummers around. Awkward silence ensued. I messed up and didn't realise how important it was for her to see a woman killing it in the drums through her young perscpective, but I've decided to do my very best and make her feel represented in a more equal learning environment. Thanks again! P.S. for latin/Brazilian drumming, check out Vera Figueiredo. Amazing artist, educator and samba drumming icon!

@kitdinker 4 года назад

Great list! Honorable Mention. Alice de Buhr of the all female band Fanny from the early 70's. They got almost no recognition then, but they're all over RU-vid now, Check out the songs Blind Alley, Ain't That Peculiar, and Hey Bulldog to see her killing it.

Came to the comments specifically to suggest Senri Kawaguchi. Maureen Tucker was an interesting choice.

Chops isn’t everything but it should be taken into consideration.

Stephen, thank you for this very important video recognizing these amazingly talented and ground-breaking women. And for emphasizing the message about Karen Carpenter's body dysmorphia around trying to retain her place as a musician by having what was considered the "right look." I was heartbroken when she passed and also shocked, because we were about the same age. Something extremely important about her passing was the wake-up call it gave me, and hopefully other women. For that, I am forever grateful to her because, as a former dancer, I was also bulimic. It was a very common practice in the dance world in order to remain at an impossibly unrealistic weight. When Karen Carpenter died it was a wake-up call for me to seek counseling in order to stop doing that self-destructive practice.

Nice tribute! We have a great female drummer at my church in LA, and she always captivates me.

I’m glad to say I knew majority of these great drummers except for 3. As a fan of Prince, Sheila E has been on my radar for decades Anika Nilles I remember seeing on RU-vid about 6 years ago with her song “Wild Boy” and I’ve been keeping up with her ever since Cindy Blackman I knew for years since her time with Lenny Kravitz. Karen Carpenter still makes my jaw drop with her drumming skills and I feel she really started to struggle with her self esteem once she left her comfort zone of the kit, it seemed like she didn’t want to be out front but behind her kit Viola Smith I learned about a few years ago and the only video of she playing I watch a lot. Terri and Nikki I know but not as well as the others but Evelyn, Moe, and Jody I haven’t had the chance to listen to but thanks for sharing them with me, I’ll check them out

Viola Smith has passed at the age of 107. She should've been your Number 1 on your list. Incredible Bio...!!!

Great video!! And an inspiration for women drummers! I'm the first female percussionist to receive my diploma in Geneva Conservatoire 25 years ago. It has been a difficult journey with a very over dominated masculine percussion world and I've been through a lot of sexism. Keiko Abe : first female percussionist in Japan that inspired and taught a whole generation of percussionists. Ruth Underwood played for Frank Zappa.

You're a good man Stephen. Thanks for bringing attention to historically underrepresented or ignored folks.

I'm a huge Alice Cooper fan. My further appreciation for Alice came when he said that he'd "like to have Karen Carpenter in his band". I knew of, and enjoyed, Karen before Alice. Your video opened my eyes to several more fantastic female drummers. Thank you for this great compilation.
