Female Drummers
Drums isn't just a man thing. It's pretty cool for females too. Here are 3 drummers making a name for themselves
Senri Kawaguchi
Senri is from Nagoya, Japan. Born in 1997 she studied with a famous Japanese drums teacher called Suganuma. She first received huge acclaim for her youtube performances, contests and then live shows with the Fusion band Fragile, releasing her debut DVD "Horoscope".

Meytal Cohen
Meytal is another big name that made a crossover from youtube to the real world. Born in Israel, she didn't start playing till she was 18 years old, That same year, she graduated from high school and then had to do her compulsory National Service for 2 years with the Israeli Defense Force. They are a pretty tough bunch the Israelis! I wouldn't be surprised if she could kill you in 5 different ways! After the army bit she moved to Los Angeles to attend the LA Music Academy. She began uploading videos to youtube and the rest is history, as they say.
Didi Negron
Didi has been playing since the age of 7. She first studied under Jazz drummer, John B. from California Drum Shop in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Skilled in many genres of music including Gospel, Reggae, R&B, Latin, Jazz, Rock, Funk and Pop, she gained entry to the Berklee School of Music where she majored in Music Performance. She has been a performing musician for more than fifteen years. Currently she is a drummer for the Cirque du Soleil show, Amaluna. You can see her beating out a performance on the bottom picture and over the youtube link. Didi is an inspiration to young artists and strongly believes in respect for women within the music industry.
