Tom Tom Magazine showcases female drummers and art at Holocene

by Chris Young on January 13, 2010

Girls don’t like drummers, girls love drums!

Tom Tom Magazine, “a magazine about female drummers,” is based outta Brooklyn but features writers across the US including our very own Lisa Schonberg of the rhythmically intricate Explode Into Colors and sts of female punkers The Haggard.

The magazine is coming to Portland (Wednesday, Jan. 20th) and San Fran to show off some wicked, lady talent on the toms, bongos, cymbals, and snares. The girls are putting together an all-star team of drum solos and duos including :

“Drum duos from Rachel Blumberg (M. Ward, Norfolk & Western) & Julianna Bright (Golden Bears), Tara Jane O’neil & Rachel Carns (Twin, The Need), Emily Kingan (Lovers, The Haggard) & Emily Baker (forsorcerers), LKN & Terrica (Palo Verde), STLS (Lisa Schonberg of Explode into Colors and sts of The Haggard), Ashey Spungin (Purple Rhinestone Eagle) & Justine Valdez (Lozen), Sarah Lund (Hungry Ghost) & Germaine Baca (Old Time Relijun), and a performance from the Brooklyn band Hot Box.”

The art of the evening will be an installation featuring portraits of female drummers, a slideshow, and short documentary films by Cat Tyc with a rafflin’ chance to win drum gear donated by Revivial Drum Shop.

Start your (female) drum education today with STLS (below) and Tom Tom or from Lisa Schonberg’s DIY Guide To Drums.
