Rhythm,

Women represent everything that has to do with Rhythm and LIfe.Our bodies are made like Drums and give LIfe. Drums are sexy! Rhythm, Timing, Tempo..... Rhythm before sound is the formulation of everything! So, drums woud not exist without woman! We move like the sound of the drums and cycles of life, naturally. It's our nature. Why would "society" say we can't play drums and that is a "mans instrument?
We represent rhythm and the cycles of life. We give Life. Life is built on timing, cycles, Birth /Death, Sun/Moon, Day/Night/ Ying/Yang.


Passion -----women are very passionate about what we do, especially in love. We give of ourselves completely and deeply. Drums represent passion, fire, sex and love. Spontaneous moves, sounds and syncopation. We could go deep with that! When you play drums, you play fire and passion. Passion/Female Energy!

Strength----Women are very strong. Maybe not physical strength like a man....but we know about pain in our bodies that a man would not be able to deal with. To play drums takes spiritual strength and technique not "a mans physical strength." You can be strong but if you don't have the spiritual feel....it won't sound or feel right. The most difficult aspect to develop on the congas is your sound. It takes the most discipline, patience, concentration, and comittment. It takes a lot of practise and time. It's not about how hard you hit it and your physical strength. In fact, just because your are a man and physically strong does not mean you can play a drum. So, yes you can be Feminine and play a strong instrument.

Talent is God Given. If God gives you a gift, it is a most beautiful blessing. How can anyone tell you that you can not do something because of your gender when it came from God?

So, when people trip out on me because I'm so "dainty,delicate and feminine". You play drums? Yes.....I am a drum. I am rhythm and I represent LIfe and I thank God for the blessing he has given me!!!
