"DRUM SOLO"
Camera: Kat Ruiz

[@paulkelwaski3271]

Gotta love Jen she always has a hugee smile when shes playing a drum kit

[@brakedrummerz]

As a drummer and lead vocalist myself, I MUST give kudos to Jen!!! She's one of the top reasons that Skillet ROCKS!!!

[@ogredad55]

I say shame on all you Detractors! Give her a break, OK? Jen is obviously having Fun doing what she loves; the audience loves her; I love her; and she's a really cute girl. I love watching pretty girl drummers. And she really gets revved up @ the 2:20 mark. I find her playing original starting at this point. I've been a drummer since 1966. And I must say, she's got some moves that I cannot duplicate. How many of you critics can play as good? Can't you people just appreciate her as a human being? God Bless you, Jen Ledger!

[@theforcedgamerx4490]

I love Jen's voice

[@rockshock5952]

Im not the only one Lmao

[@meme8528]

Jen Ledger is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Maxarcc]

she is very down to earth, how she stands up after the solo. Not like a star but like herself.

[@Dapeaceofjesus]

I've never seen anyone have such a great time playing a drum solo! That's smile of hers is priceless. I like the thing she does with her left hand to her ear. Cute. Wish she was my kid ! Trying to get my daughter interested. She bangs around on my drum kit for awhile. Now the rest. I'm an old dinosaur rocker (60s &70's) and this girl has got it ! Hope they (Skillet) stays together for a long while. Best band I've heard of in a long time.

[@outsider5945]

All these comments either hating or loving Jen on almost every skillet video xD! How about for once I make a comment with both sides in it? First off (and possibly the most important point I've got) is that some of you people are hating on Jen for doing something she obviously enjoys doing. Even though she may not be the best drummer in the world she is still playing with joy and determination to please us all and at the end of the day that's what matters right?

[@reema5912]

All hail the first person who actually understands

[@chandlerreese4252]

She the best girl drummer

[@stevemcdonald8809]

Drum solos are boring enough. Watch Carl Palmer's solo.

[@outsider5945]

5 years later - Can confirm still have the same opinion. Also hi random person scrolling!

[@eoghanc1212]

Well she's definitely the happiest drummer in the world.

[@BenjWarrant]

Wait'll you see Yoyoka!

[@tiffanyreece86]

Wish i could play drums like her!

[@JasonDessing]

Note how she manages to communicate with the audience, just by raising her arms and breaking into that charming, big smile. She gets immediate response from the audience when she "demands" it!

[@ShadowSC2]

she's the only drummer who can bust out such an amazing solo and still be grinning from ear to ear

[@sabrinatompkins9559]

Shes amazing

[@elizeudelimaandrade6410]

Concordo!

[@elizeudelimaandrade6410]

Concordo!

[@barbarajansen4078]

Jen manda bem ela toca demais! Eu vou ser batera

[@brohoe520]

5 years ago I seen this video and I keep coming back! So awesome!!!!!!!!

[@vinceontheroad]

Stop the hate! Even if she is an average drummer she still has talent and a amazing voice in her!

[@tarikjbili1710]

i love it

[@thefullmatty24]

this is an amazing woman!

[@imawhack]

she wont ever have to WORK for a living! she is special and gets to PLAY for a lifetime... great gift.

[@BikerProfesor]

this girl is shining with energy, no matter which instrument would play, I am sure she´d be awesome

[@siendokam]

Nice !

[@sudekz8789]

You alive bro?

[@Ra8Tv5]

she's damn good :)

[@kissdude69]

for a lady that is only 22 years old, she does a heck of a job playing drums and singing to. if you dont like it then just sthu and leave. this group has made me feel alot different inside about alot of things. SKILLET ROCKS!!!!

[@LillemyO3O]

She's now officially my idol! Behind the drums and or not, I love her!

[@jsteele1820]

Lets See.... She was 18 years old, been playing for 4 years, plays double kick better than most... people really need to stop the hate!

[@RinconesAlicia]

Bro that double kick is everything! If you listen to her play on the song out of hell, on the skillet Unleashed album dot-dot... She is ridiculous, and let's not forget her vocal ability SMH.

[@LETMEWATCHVIDEOSIDC]

She would have been what... 19 here?

[@FlyingV555]

alj03 19

[@jennifercrawford1732]

I dont know if heard anyone play like her wow awesome woman!❤

[@lucasmolski]

dude...omfg i love this so much!

[@candaceattakai1436]

Jen is an awesome drummer im saying so because I play the drums and im 12

[@MollyBodenDAJFS]

The twelve year old has spoken.

[@rabbit8220]

MollyBodenDAJFS All hail the mighty twelve year old master race.

[@reema5912]

Creepy. I started playing drums cuz of jen when I was twelve

[@roysummers503]

PLAY THE DRUMS FOR JESUS GIRL SKILLET ROCKS ALWAYS FOR JESUS CHRIST 777

[@swiftlaker6]

This needs to be a movie.

[@TorricRoma]

i cant wait to see her for real! im so pumped!

[@AbduTaleb]

is she married ?? huhhhhh :) would be sad to go XD

[@manuelalen343]

Creep..

[@vinceontheroad]

Abdu Taleb of course not

[@BoogabooMusic]

It makes me laff how all the teen boys are jealous that she is way better than they will ever be

[@knifeman2670]

Boogaboo except for me

[@drummerpenguin2970]

Knifeman me too

[@reinaldo18ful]

Jen Ledger ... the "skillet" is the best and most beautiful drummer in the world. It's beautiful to see you play. plays battery with energy, it's vibrant.

[@Rocklobst3r1]

I just love how shes always smiling and having fun.

[@kevinwinburn4944]

JEN LEDGER OF SKILLET IS THE BEST DRUMMER IN CHRISTIAN ROCK YOU MASHACKAR PLASM JUST DONT BELEIVE IN JESUS CHRIST. - SHE IS AN AWESOME DRUMMER. - JUST GET OVER IT.

[@robertstaples1647]

Ash J. Williams ?

[@wjolly1824]

I liked the part where she was hot

[@dekubutler1702]

for the whole 2 minutes and 40 seconds

[@irishdrummergirl100]

She is AWESOME!! You go girl!!

[@criminalminds613]

one of the best quality jen ledger drums solos out there! great quality :)

[@tannermeierle1265]

The drummer is decent not the best I've heard but she is not bad at all.

[@howlingmine]

Not very good, pretty much high school talent show quality.

[@nobody4920]

+howlingmine just compare her with annika nilles XD

[@Th_RealDirtyDan]

+howlingmine well when she joined skillet, she basically was high school age. That solo was played when she was first starting out with the band, sooooooo

[@howlingmine]

+Dan Onderak The exact moment in time it was recorded has nothing to do with it sounding like crap.

[@SkillzthatKillz2011]

+howlingmine lol dont be jealous XD

[@LinkinParkFuckYeah]

+howlingmine yeah but people love it and that's the point!

[@xXSVxPhantom]

I love how she makes it look like she is completely relaxed and in control, her arm movements easily show how much she practices...I want to be at that level one day...

[@phil19922]

Now this is a really awesome drumsolo!!

[@KomaEU]

Awesome smile, awful drumskills ;d

[@zonc848]

KomaEU haha good you write awful drumskills but why Skillet no choose you for the druns???!!!???

[@KomaEU]

Кристиян Иванов Because I don't play drums. Please at least try to use proper english next time you post something on the internet.

[@courtneyconley4807]

KomaEU you know she is awesome. she was young here she was 19 here. she has grew and improved. your just jealous cause you cant rock like this beast here.

[@KomaEU]

Courtney Conley Bitch please, I'm not jealous because I don't need to rock like a beast. Don't get hurt fangirl, just telling what I think of it.

[@KomaEU]

Кристиян Иванов supit guy? Nope, can't find that in my dictionairy.

[@mashackarplasm8359]

shes not a very good drummer, she plays very imprecise and average stuff. her work is amateurish and everybody just loves her because shes a gril and u dont expect from a girl to play the drums, thats the only reason

[@Kurisuchianu89]

Well, maybe you should think outside the box then. Do something we don't expect from a guy ( or if you are a girl ) and stfu.

[@mashackarplasm8359]

Kristian Tervakoski..why should i? i dont get ur point dude

[@chaocrazy]

You can stop spamming comments now, thanks. I've been to Skillet concerts before and I gotta say that she's a pretty awesome drummer. I'm comparing her to other drummers right now, and I admit that she's not the best, but she's no where near as bad as you were saying.

[@mashackarplasm8359]

chaocrazy shes not bad, but shes not as good as everybody calls her, i find her sympathic and her character is good, just her drumming is average stuff

[@jaydenjhammer]

Mashackar Plasm Is this the only video you've seen of her playing the drums? You have to see her more current stuff.

[@MrSticktwirler]

Great solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I myself am a drummer and the speed she has is just out of this world So that itself deserves a standing ovation(encore,encore) God bless

[@riordanii]

I'm amazed at any drummer who can sing and play that well...very talented in my opinion...

[@TheShredder163]

so overated

[@mashackarplasm8359]

why cant she just sing?! she has a good voice but no talent with the drumset .....

[@mashackarplasm8359]

Marc Collingsworth xD ahahahahahahahahaha omg omg omg that was the best answer i've ever got, sry for not being a sexistic unskilled drummer who loves jen coz she dont fills the stereotypes, or i think ur not even a drummer so stfu and learn urself a book dumbass

[@mashackarplasm8359]

Patryk Łachacz and how should i do this??

[@mashackarplasm8359]

Patryk Łachacz u really think i make a video of me just 4 u?? and i only have a e-drum at home, my accoustic one is in my practice room

[@roc1962]

Mash - some therapy might help your obvious insecurity issues.

[@mashackarplasm8359]

roc1962 insecurity? ok ur right buddy xD

[@TheRealAwesomePossum]

OMG!! She is totally amazing!! I loooooove her!!!

[@VickyyyMoon]
