Why? Do you honestly think I'm being misogynistic or something? We're celebrating their womanhood, not marginalizing it. Just because they are women and drummers, doesn't mean we should somehow forget they are women. Chicks on the drums are increasing in numbers, but still a significant minority, and I say this first and foremost as a musician, not just a fan of music. So we need to celebrate them, this is that chance. There are more of course, but these are my favs. I'm sorry you're disappointed, but if so, its only because you've got the wrong idea. At this stage, I want to celebrate women as drummers, and part of that celebration is the very fact that they are women. Part of the attempts at gender or color blind society, is that we don't celebrate race and gender enough in positive ways in the masquerade to try and ignore it. Yeah, there should be more women playing drums, to the point that we won't notice, but lets big up the pioneer divas now who blaze the trail.
