Please comment the name of your favorite girl drummer below. I will be making a new video highlighting more female drummers in the coming weeks. There are so many amazing female drummers out there and this video only showcases a handful.

[@toddmaek5436]

You named all of my favs in the beginning. But I also remember back in the day, the lady that played for Arsenio Hall show. Her name was Terry. She was dope too

[@rasidyabdulrahman7972]

you should take a look at this girl nur amira syahira I think she's pretty good

[@jimgroskopf4208]

You missed one of the best....Hannah Ford....Wow!....Was the drummer for Prince

[@jaxonellis2995]

The Jazz Drummers: Cindy Blackman. Terri Lynn Carrington. Kimberly Thompson. Cora Coleman Dunham.

[@user-lw9py]

It is important that also the recording have good sound quality so it all in all very good it sound as live on good speakers. I like much sina drums, kristina schiano, chiara cotugno, kalonica Nicx, MEYTAL COHEN, raaneey . some songs i like from ami kim too

[@eddyalfa6651]

I like Domino Santantonio, so much passion when she play

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Paulina Villarreal of The Warning may not be the most technical drummer, but she is in a very small group of professional rock drummers (male or female) who can sing lead while playing the drums. She has also written or helped compose most of the groups 33+ original songs.

[@GregPourciau]

Here's a video of Pau and Faith at 2017 Hits Like a Girl Award where Faith won and Pau was one of the judges and they played together (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2ishKKEf61rr5o&ab_channel=HLAGcontest)

[@genboyer]

Indeed! If you're going to include Faith Benson, then you have to include Paulina Villarreal! You can find a vid of them playing a duet from the Hit Like A Girl competition.

[@davebeck8973]

@@genboyer Don't forget Sina Doering from Germany. Sina Drums.

[@genboyer]

@@davebeck8973- And Yoyoka Soma from Hokkaido, Japan.

[@alisonscofield6653]

Agreed. Paulina has years ahead to perfect her craft. She's already fantastic.

[@MM-kh7nx]

A must for the list: Emmanuelle Caplette of Canada! luv your playing Akhamie!

[@carlalopez4820]

You missed Yoyoka and Kanade! Yoyoka is on Drummer World's 500 best drummers of all time list!

[@leonc100]

I can't wait to see what Nandi does in 10 years. She is so good.

[@larrydavison2559]

Thank you for sharing. Awesome work 👏

[@seaneskridge8798]

Brooke Colucci is mind blowing! Love her!

[@jimmys6996]

I second that, nothing against any of these female drummers but Brooke can smoke all of them!

[@jimvandemoter6961]

What about Alice DeBuhr from "Fanny?" That band pioneered all woman bands starting in the early 70's Alice was a killer drummer and the band flat out rocked.

[@markbaker8255]

Yeah.....Akane from Band Maid....THE ABSOLUTE BEST 🔥

[@ericpoirier2807]

She's excellent

[@davebeck8973]

Sina Doering is my favorite drummer!

[@Sn00ze]

Don't forget Camille Bigeault, she's an amazing French drummer who plays crazy polyrythms. She's not promoting herself much on social media but she has a small youtube channel and has been featured on Drumeo in the past (some of it can be found on youtube as well).

[@mathisdacquarica7611]

Camille Bigeault can't play 4/4 time😅😅😅

[@fedniah2770]

Woww, amazing play!😍👍

[@CarlosRivas-cw5wu]

Paulina Villarreal, apart from playing drums in the group The Warning, is a pianist, singer, composer, programmer and producer with only 20 years. She is currently on tour in the USA. She has collaborated with Faith Benson.

[@michaelscott8021]

Thanks ,for your service !

[@zackyjacky2078]

These female drummers are amazing! They’re so talented! My favorite drummer is Anika Nilles!! She’s great! 🔥🔥❤️❤️

[@camiloops.official]

Yes!!! Anika Niles is amazing.

[@citygatetv376]

I just discovered you a couple of days sgo. You’re not only an awesome drummer. I am equally impressed by your humility in this video. You took time to big up other female drummers around the world before presenting yourself. More grace to you.

[@camiloops.official]

Thank you! Yeah there are so many other amazing female drummers people have taught me about after posting this. It has been a very educational response to this video and so inspiring to know about even more of the amazing talent out there!

[@francisrobinson9236]

Thank you for your service lady you rock great chops

[@drummermomcjs]

I really liked this video. Some of these ladies I have seen, but others, you have introduced me to. Thank you. Two other female drummers you may want to check out are Dorthea Taylor, and Heidi Joubert (cajon player) they are both exceptional drummers with videos on KZbin. As a drummer myself, it is always a joy to me to see other female drummers. Sheila E and Karen Carpenter were the only female drummers I knew of growing up and inspired me greatly in my own drumming. Karen Carpenter was one of the inspirations that started me drumming and Sheila E inspired me in High School and her success kept me pursuing drums. Great video again. :-)

[@adrian3668]

Seeing you playing with your son strap to you is too AWESOME! God bless you

[@francel.1837]

All excellent drummers! My favorite si Domino Santantonio, great energy and always smiling :)

[@weslove6018]

"JUNNA" Through the Fire and Flames, cover!! She is the most energetic drummer in the world!!! "YOYOKA" brilliant Japanese drummer at ten years old. "AMIRA SAYAHIRA", Metyl Cohan,. Kanade Sato. Kalonica Nicx!! So many too, like ChenManquig (VELA BLUE) and Luo Xiaobai (S. WHITE)

[@camiloops.official]

Great video

[@Coastfog]

Good to have this in my back pocket when someone claims that there are no amazing female drummers. You deserve a spot on this list, too, obviously.

[@SilvioSilvaDrone]

I LOVE DOMINO SANTANTONIO. You missed SINA and have introduced others for me. Great job!

[@blakegowan6623]

[@alisa.fox.ventures]

Great!! 🥁 😍😍😍 Your mix of drumming videos sounds amazig ! 🔥🔥🔥 I am drummer, too 🥁🥁🥁

[@ericpoirier2807]

The drummer for love bites is one on top of the heel as well 😀

[@DMO9289]

A lot of those are my fav female drummers but I also like Jamie Leigh Schultz, Dorothea Taylor, Didi Negron. Anika is my FAVORITE favorite tho.

[@stuartvaughan4677]

Didi Negron is amazing, so much energy and brilliant technique 👏

[@davidbardwatkins]

Fantastic

[@camiloops.official]

Thanks so much!!!

[@ourtowntunes4673]

great stuff. super surprised Jen Ledger of Skillet isn't on this list. she should be

SENRI KAWAGUCHI NO.1

[@jasonhendricks8587]

Excellent list, i would also add Camille bigeault and Cindy blackmon

[@alisonscofield6653]

I'm ashamed that I missed these incredible ladies.

[@user-dr7bx3uo6z]

You totally forgot to include Sina Doring! She's amazingly talented. How did you miss her?

[@Glen.Black.]

Thanks for the video! But, where is Yoyoka (TikTok), youngest ever to be added to DrummerWorld Top 500 Drummers of ALL TIME.

[@mikelawson6456]

No offense...but going on expertise and experience alone...Nadine Bushell has a LONG way to go before being on a list like this

[@batnesislands]

I am shock on your comment but looking at this video and I can see the justification. But you have to see her now or even a year ago, Nadine is much improved and much better than half of the drummers on this list. Watch her take on Caravan.

[@Anton_Pupsik]

Got here from reaction to Junna and her Dragon Force cover , and list doesn't include her O_o . And deffentetly here must be Akane from Band-Maid , and yes they both from japan :)

[@williamcorcoran8842]

Your baby is going to be a rock star!

[@timothyclaffey9138]

Sheila E. Hands down.

[@PeartDisicple481]

Nice

[@SoundOfYoga]

the best of them is Senri Kawaguchi, its one of most capable drummers now; people don't know her very well because she doesn't have as good PR as others in usa and she doesn't play much with famous artists, but she is young and if she plays a little longer with famous musicians everyone will know her. Other Japanese drummer you dont mention is Kanade Sato - also very, very talented girl...

[@Dkeystv]

Cousin you are my favorite female drummer

[@abudarianalfatih8596]

Kanade Sato my 1st choice 😀

[@C.Brown5150]

YOU ARE THE GREATEST !!!!!! Super service woman, Super Mom , One Super Badass Drummer !!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Juicexlx]

I was wondering when you were going to name Sheila E. I remember when there were no female drummer & she came out of the blue with smashing beats. It was a long time ago, but she made an impression on me in the 80's. Oh boy! Was she good. I'm into Metal, but this gal could hit like a Ton of bricks!

[@jessyl_bln5109]

🤩 nice overview 👍 coming new days we ladies goes drumming 🥁🤘 But i think the list missing Dorothea Taylor and Carpenter...

[@hans-ts7xm]

Karen carpenter yes! 👍

[@alvaroneiranovoa]

Brooke !!!

[@johnbarajas8805]

Pauline of warning ! She writes and singing ! And has 4 albums that she wrote ! Tour with famous band groups ! Probably net worth of 10 or more millions of dollars ! How could you leave a drummer that has more fame like Shelia e. Mind blowing !!

[@donbutler2700]

Jen Ledger(Skillet) she also has some pipes too !!!

[@traxan650]

How do you omit Senri Kawaguchi?

[@tommyboy6689]

senri is on the list. imo, she is better than any of the others.

[@BeverlyDowning]

How in the world could Nikki Glaspie not be on this list??? Wow!!!

[@babounia1]

And what about SINA ?

[@PeartDisicple481]

Camille gainer Jones Your list is incomplete without this young lady .

[@johnapostol7709]

Check out this 11 yo rocker Yoyoka Soma. Youngest ever selected as one of the 500 best drummers of all time by drummerworld. She has the resume and endorsements of a professional 3 times her age. I guarantee you are going to smile and wave back at her.

[@bebetimader]

Nice video. I saw a video with a female Black young girl playing the drums standing up, she played on the table too, would Love to know her name ❤

[@cynthiareyes1495]

Emmanuelle Caplette.......awesome drummer.

[@MsFunkyFingers]

Coming from A drummer-i've Seen,jammed, Rehearsed,practice sessions, gigs,to the level At my peak,I'm Familiar with Brook c,Hanna Ford and to name of few Others. Personally this Has taking me To really learn Your instrument More and Learn A bit more rudiments mechanically While continuing by Playing with Feeling! These Female drumming to Me are even Better than alot Of male drummers that Are more at my Level! I totally Surrender to These girls,the Ones I've truly Watched and Studied! I've Never seen and Heard this drumming in my Whole life,however from my errA I was surprised To see Carol Carpenter play Nearly like Buddy rich! This Is not a fad,this Always was around, it's because women didn't get the publicity Then that there Getting now!

[@Buzz5663]

Oh boy, forgot Emmanuelle Caplette and Meytal Cohen. Appreciate your content very much.

[@Thirdday71906]

Kalonica Nicx Will blow you away.

[@Perfect_Blend]

Got to be Karen Carpenter as my favorite. I played drums in high school because of her and she was such an inspiration and amazingly talented. So sad she died so young.

[@rockygreenham9778]

Emmanuelle Caplette, should be on here. Kia kayleigh is also very special. Make this longer and put them in.

[@DP-kt5wr]

All amazing but you forgot Paloma Estevez. She’s a (beautiful) beast on drums. Saw her with Berlin. She’s like thunder

[@COTTERO]

Cool list, I think Senri, Anika, and Sarah are the World's best... but you skipped: Cora Dunham Hannah Welton Nikki Glaspie Mercedes Lander Kim Thompson Jen Ledger Kanade Sato + a dozen of other amazing japanese drummers.

[@bluetooth2000]

There are tons of good, very good and excellent female drummers in the present days. Some of them were not mencioned in this video, such as Sina, Kenate Sato, Meytal Cohen and Chiara Cotugno.

[@portor1013]

check out Pau Villarreal of the warning

[@edenR1003]

Creo que debería estar Paulina Villareal de The Warning, además canta mientras toca y es compositora. 🤘🏽

[@annebailey6261]

Emmanuelle Caplette should be on every list of great drummers. She is absolutely amazing.

[@drumznfishes]

Emanuelle Caplette!!

[@gordon020958]

Eventually you need to add SINA to this group.

[@LarthVolos]

Honey of Honeycombs (in Joe Meek's clan). She was having a technical style with similar to Keith Moon and Ringo Starr. I like drummers who are dynamic having a syncope. "Sheila E is a Goat". She is markable musician I must say.

[@LarthVolos]

We are going to to the world where drummers (or singers, guitarists etc) are not defined by sex or gender but by the skill. I like how things are evolving.

[@jeffbowe9810]

Jess Bowen. Quite a bit of success and a solid resume

[@magnushallin3640]

I see a lot of solo percussionists perform in these clips - but no drummers as in live music. It takes a lot more than fast licks to be a good musician that best serves the music to its genre. The best drummer in my opinion is Yoyoka Soma based on her ability to make music sound better. She doesn't over play to get attention for her skills like many of the other "top drummers" do

[@user-gl5kj1fm5x]

some glaring omissions Patty Schemmel (Hole) Meg White (White Stripes) Gina Shock (The Go Go’s) Brie Howard-Darling, Denise DuFort (Girl School) and probably my favourite Cindy Blackman check out the John Paul Jones Lenny Kravits are you going my way

[@ncimson5318]

All are awesome drummer in their own style. I like Dominos style but Faith Benson?

[@clementtytube]

One honorary mention can be Carola "Noisy Mummy" Grey

[@andreflavell3453]

Sarah Jones should be on your list

[@user-gp9zh2cz3l]

Anika Niles and Eleni Nota of Nervosa.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@wadepeterson8827]

Monette Marino based in the San Diego area is an incredible hand percussionist & drummer, & her Jembe, Conga & Dunun playing skills are world class & off the charts, look her up! Also, you have a particular drum in your setup, I think it's Meinl, at least the head is, that has a metal rim & hardware, at least a partial wood body but maybe full, & a thick full metal frame on the bottom section of the drum, & it looks like a 13" or 14" head size, but I can't figure it out or find it anywhere?! It's almost like a Timbale or Repinique, but maybe it's a hybrid snare or your own adaptation, so I would love to know what it is if you can share that info w/ me. It's a trip how similar some of our setups & equipment are, but I've come more from the West & Central African & African-Diaspora side of things, & more from a hand percussionist background, although I listen to music from all over the world & many styles, so all roads seem to diversify & adapt to the many playing contexts out here in the Bay & all over the globe! Thanks for sharing your many setups, & I can certainly relate to having a house full of drums & rhythms galore, much appreciation & blessings!

[@erniecool4603]

Taylor Gordon known as the pocket queen is the best female drummer on the planet right now.
