Fantastic, you’re such a talented drummer!! Power to all of us female musicians! I started out as a self taught drummer at the age of 6. Later in life I became a songwriter, guitar player and vocalist.

This girl is amazing. Excellent groove and voice too!

[@VikingVertigo]

[@gilmouring]

I don't know how much we get of that snare with the microphone and all the rest...But yes. It seems a great snare!

[@kierenmoore3236]

Super cool - I just bought that looper to try things though I don’t have any real skills on anything

[@anewageman]

are you able to make a live drum loop by yourself? Can you control the buttons while you're playing?

[@chrislopez1391]

i loved you in madtv

[@anewageman]

@@chrislopez1391 different me

[@jeremyacker7992]

That is so fucking cool. I just got a 505. Thanks Jordan! Very inspirational!

[@nicholasmurray398]

So she’s not looping the drums? I’m trying to figure out how to record and loop my acoustic drums using my Focusrite 18i20 and my RC-600 looper.. since all of my drum mic inputs are on the Focusrite mixer. Do I somehow route it out to the loop pedal and back to the mixer? Halp plz

[@woodzbro]

Just need a drumpad that can play a like 30 sec long intro song for my band, what should o buy

[@fd4553]

How can one loop drums using a the same looper?

[@DavesDumbSongs]

Thanks for this upload. Excellent information and sound.

[@OIP_1]

[@masonsmusiclibrary2632]

[@MikaelLewisify]

Are these effects you’re using built into the 505?

[@86yeddie]

[@Dr_Satan]

[@326vince]

[@tedpowers4728]

Is there a reason her rack tom is upside down?

[@realdrumbeats8920]

[@WeirdBobsparanormal]

The looper is siq so xpensive probably worth it

[@solomongrundy6806]

Is that a cover song or original?

[@JustaJuboi]

[@jordanborders2232]

[@brianwarner308]

[@LivingstonGina]

Woman NOT a chick! It’s 2018 women finally deserve respect!

[@strawink]

Rad lady

[@jamesperez-sanchez3734]

playing drums over a loop is so hard lol

[@elegrossz8948]

I miss Kurts guitar :(

[@chasesteinberger3342]

bottom tom mics? really?? and they are 421s at that... why mic the bottom and top of the toms with 421s?

[@FabioPoianMusic]

Chase Steinberger Why?Why not!

[@djBlindFaith]

My best guess... EQ’d accordingly, top for punch... bottom for boom 🖖🤓👍
