14 Year Old Female Drummer

tooblue....*L*  'And now a word from our sponsor....'

Y'know, sometimes the obvious escapes us....it does me, and I do try to keep my eyes on the ball lest it hit me upside the head.

I'd like to see these 2 ladies jamb together and become the 'next big thing'....and hope they can avoid the pitfalls that the pop music machine has a nasty habit of grinding talent up with...

Shadorne, no argument from this source....it takes practicepracticepractice and a whole lot of commitment and energy to be able to play like that.

I recognise talent...SOL on being one myself.  Never had the muscle memory or the time to devote, always had to get my butt up and make a living instead of 'maybe git a blister on my finger'.  I'd like to see talent cherished instead of becoming a parody....

...this kind of abuse, which clips us all to some degree...

Captain Obvious strikes again.

I started looking around on YouTube thanks to thread and saw this one.

I guess I haven't been paying attention to female young musicians but I am surprised by the interest in metal and older rock stuff as well as inspired by the genuine feel and excitement on  their faces. Gives me hope. 

@fourwnds...excellent. Thanks for the link. She is 12, here is a 10 year old:

Watch it all the way through.  She does a Led Zeppelin cover.

I so wish I had even a lick of musical talent. But alas, the only instrument I can play is my stereo...thank God for high-end audio!

@mofimadness, I had to laff because I have always said that the only instrument I can play is a radio and can't sing a note. My 5 year old grandson and I were singing along with James Brown and I was telling him what a nice voice and great moves he had, told him I was a terrible singer and he came over, hugged me and said but I was a great grandpa.
