I just listened to all of "Drumgasm" and I highly highly recommend it. It is a 40 minute recording of Janet Weiss banging on the drums with Zach Hill (Hella/Death Grips) and Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam) and it is just awesome.

[@tita4ewaz]

YES! It's a meeting of 3 brilliant drummers. So good!

[@robertoseveno]

will check it out. Cheers

[@thirdpal]

HOW COOL. I've known Sara since she was less than 12 years old living in Bloomington, IN.

[@cherioteri7890]

One of my all-time favorite videos ever. Sometimes I just drop in on KZbin because this makes me feel so happy.

[@LoveFromBelow1993]

I love how this is really representative of their respective drumming styles. Like, Sara has never been about proper drum 'fills', just seriously cool off-beat rhythms.

[@frempy4426]

Also emphasises just how powerful Janet is lol she fuckin' slams that shit

[@Melcat96]

I’d love to see Janet have a drum battle against Animal from the Muppets!

[@JJTFishing]

I love Sara's cow bell part. Reminds me of a M'Boom song.

[@medusatruths1066]

i love how they come together and vibe

[@thirdpal]

Sara took lessons from Kenny Arnoff, who started off with John Cougar's band and has played with a lot of great bands since.

[@BlackTeddies]

Oh my god I've been listening to unwound and you can imagine my shock when I found out the drummer was female (I'm a female myself) Wow. You don't come across many awesome female drummers which is unfortunate but when you do it's amazing!

[@imaginationisthefabricofli7145]

Facts!!!

[@AlexAvila-hw3ys]

Please the world needs more female drummers keep going

[@popolbruh8263]

there's tons of them, they just aren't talked about enough

[@nominalnobody]

I'm a fan of Janet's fan-it enhances the wild storminess of her percussive prowess.

[@paulfennell01]

oh my how tired u two mustve been- this is stamina defined- thank you both for killing it!

[@pnoplyr14]

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough for you. I meant to state, if they were both in a band together it would be sick. There are bands with two drummers and it's pretty awesome. Since you're so keen on research, I'll leave you to it. I love Unwound & I did look up Janet Weiss after watching this video, which lead to my discovery of Sleater Kinney. Have a nice day dude. ;)

[@maxkupperberg3204]

my immediate thought was that they should start a two-drummer band together

[@robertoseveno]

This is beautiful

[@cactustactics]

Ever happen to notice a video in the list of suggestions and think '...hell YES I would like to see that'?

[@ceedogg4270]

If this is a real battle Janet won.

[@gregoryrohde]

These are a couple of the raddest Ladies of Drum

[@joshpergyleillanza6763]

A drummer from Unwound meets another drummer from Sleater-Kinney

[@JeremyHall]

that time change .magnificent

[@toolguyslayer1]

nothing cute about that that's just awesome

[@nickdaboii]

Sexy tho.

[@daydrmnation]

Janet, hands down.

[@garrettlemieux4620]

Sara!

[@nickdaboii]

Janet has more fills but Sara is playing cleaner and has better technique. Better efficiency of movement and a softer touch. Both amazing.

[@goov47]

Awesome!

[@carlyep8451]

Goddesses. 💛☀️🖖🏼

[@branson9271]

unwound

[@pnoplyr14]

If they were both drummers for a band that would be sick.

[@popolbruh8263]

you know they were both in bands right? legendary alt bands

[@forr2007]

Janet !!!

[@Housesider]

Unwound.

[@esteemachine]

unwound.

[@michaelbreton7998]

This just cool as fuck

[@SuperMario16bit]

4:09 I hear some All Souls Day there

[@misslemon6032]

Janet is Queeeeeeeen

[@zerekx]

Least it looks like their having fun!

[@cocojaneriat6826]

José Medeles !

[@apolloc.vermouth5672]

'Tis a fine drum duet...but sure 'tis no drum battle. Arrrrrrrr....

[@BlackTeddies]

Sure :)

[@miked4309]

both girls played drums for corin tucker in two different bands. know who?

[@caseyweidler3794]

Yep. Sarah in Corin Tucker Band and Janet in Sleater Kinney :)

[@seamusburke639]

+miked4309 Maybe Corin was like BATTLE FOR MY AMUSEMENT!

[@bizyz]

these 2 seem to be mimicking each other.neither is really challenging the other with the skills they have.

[@squizophrenic49]

And she's going to play with Zach Hill?

[@toolguyslayer1]

at about the six-minute mark they just handling it

[@lookingatcrap]

What is it about female drummers that is so awesome? I want more of them.

[@anyghost]

Man, I think they should have made this more like a rap battle where each drummer goes one at a time so you can actually hear the differences between them, but hey, that's just me. Anyway, I really like Janet's drumming, but wish she played for a band with more nuanced music than Sleater and Wild.

[@xonicholasnicholasxo]

anyghost She played on some awesome Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks records, and Quasi are incredible live.

[@EuphoniaPooch]

Quasi rule

[@popolbruh8263]

she played on one of The Go Betweens later records, nothing like Sleater-Kinney

[@ericmsandoval]

Right on. I'm all about Swans ;)

[@JeremyHall]

"MORE COWBELL"

[@anyghost]

Janet woulda been a great replacement for Jimmy Chaimberlain when he left Smashing Pumpkins. Maybe she would have made the music not suck so much as it does now.

[@kristeyfry4872]

anyghost YESSSSSS!!!!!

[@misaonthefly]

janet w and sara l... how disrespectful...

[@pdxmetal]

A click bait best 50 drummer list brought me here. Zzzz.

[@Pepper-cd9yr]

C'mon Sara, let loose a little...

[@AlexAvila-hw3ys]

I no that what I am about to say is wrong, it reminds me of the buddy rich vs gean Krupa drum battle

[@ericmsandoval]

Janet was with Sleater Kinney, Quasi, and Wild Flag. Sara drums for Unwound. Do some research before you post dumb comments, pal.

[@gulnare69]

Her jiggling is almost hypnotic...

[@mishel1005]

Christopher Walken wouldn't approve!

[@cumshotfeminist22]

+mishel1005 Not enough cowbell!

[@mishel1005]

cumshotfeminist22​ haha not even remotely enough!

[@SCHP1068]

I think they both lost this drum battle...This has got to be one of the saddest “drum battles” I’ve literally ever heard. I know double amputees who can play drums better that these two. This was just two chicks banging senselessly on drums...

[@krisdevalle]

Says the drum guy with 6 subscribers. Okay dude.

[@pppr24_]

You don't know nothing.

[@jmo13322]

LOVE IT!!! SEXY DRUM SOLOS AND BOUNCING CLEAVAGE YEAH! ROCK ON!!!

[@DollytheDOL]

Awesome!!!
