I own a drum teaching studio in Ottawa and have 34 students/week. I've been teaching since I was 16 (I'm 45 now). I too, have noticed more female drummers. I find they are strong readers, but they seem less willing to "dig in" when they play. I have to constantly push them to "hit those things!". My wife and I had a long conversation about female and male drummers; why there aren't more females, and why the reluctance to play out? Also, the females seemed more interested in snare and multiple percussion. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on this topic! Good article!
