I said
Alright, I'll start a female drummer one now then. I only know of a few.

If you dont wanna read this forum no ones making you Tama, true?

//Do you have useful imput?

ok, drummer from The Coolies, even thou it wasn't techinally hard (I don't care about that), the stuff she was coming up with interesting, which I like.
Drummer from Batrider quite cool too, drummer from Chugganut was interesting too, even thou I didn't like their music that much.
From what I hear the drummer from Just One Fix is quite good too

Kat from Foamy ed and Ally from FiveDollarFee

definitely ally from FDF

// Whick (which) brings me to wondering, why bring gender into the question Zippy?
Because theres already a 'Nz's Best drummer' forum that was 99 percent males, and as you'll read at the start of this one it was said there was few really good female drummers.
No reason really

Change 'Often' to 'usually' or something else that makes it read like there isn't a difference in competency based on gender, as not deliberately implied. Cheers.

I thought Natilie was still really fierce. shes looked like shes been beating the crap out of the drums as much as playing them in the times ive seen her.

The Shrugs are kool.

she's not NZder, she from US, New York I think.
So you can't count her

I havent seen the add, but I asked a drummer friend of mine in Auckland if she was good...he said she was "shit". I'll have to check her out before I can say that myself

// So you would be playing with K road Queens now??

Yeah, Im Ingrid...
Thanx buddy! :) theres only one other member from M'juica (Kat)... she's in America now.
K'Road Queens r playin Town Hall Hotel, Melbourne on Friday... come down and introduce urself if u can make it.

Im there, hey check out what someone said in your bands forum

// Freaking excellent gig. Go the Queens! Pulled out an old Misfits cover as well. These guys rock. Show me a better chick drummer in Melbourne than Ingrid & I’ll break out a nice shiny cutlery set & eat my hat, with a touch of relish on the side. Now if you could break out Gary Numan’s ‘Cars’ once in a while I’d be in heaven…

I'll second that

Dude do you even know what that means?

Or is that yr new word of the week or something?
