Female drummer: Dale Anne Brendon -Rock drum solo

[AnywhereButHere09]

Oh my......

[alemon22]

this female drummer she got skills, she got attitude, her look is very suitable as a female drummer, other female drummers their look is as kitchen lady!:))) brilliant job girl!:D

[guntonp]

Whats your drumming story? How long did it take you to reach that standard?

[daleannebrendon]

@guntonp

I've been drumming since I was 12, and I'm in my 40's now... I've been drumming all along as a life-long passion. I play rock but also am classically trained and play percussion with orchestras. I always suggest taking lessons or studying on line to fast-track drumming success- which also means learning to read.

Thanks for watching!

Dale Anne

[magixxlan]

dale in step brothers play drums..haha

Hi There! Yes, I have a tip for you!! Learn from other people- take lessons if you can afford it, or use youtube lessons to learn- there is so much information out there!! Good luck!!

Dale Anne

[henry54665back]

@daleannebrendon THANKS i will =D

[jacksheets]

What kind of kitchen is that?

[mohmoLovesdogsxx]

AMAZING!!!!!! :O

[teoscott1]

AWESOME!!! :D

[karendenning]

Freakin' AWESOME, Queen of the Triplet!!!

Nothing against the guy drummers mind you, but eat your heart out dudes...

Sticks are for CHICKS! : - )

[Wizzard777]

Beautiful.



[djwash5]

WOW That was groovy.

[thedrummerdude777]

love those triplets

[DrAgOnFoRcE95hezna]

brutal legal recontr maestra....mis respetos

[tsand19151]

Very nice!!!!!!! :-)

[phereracer]

Very Nice!!!

[68bobba]

When I close my eyes and listen to that I hear shades of Sweet drummer Mick Tucker(my musical inspiration) towards the end

[bro4lifeful]

i've never seen a kitchen like that before..

[PS3Uncensored]

This is amazing and fluent drumming, this is so inspiring and was this freestyle?

[Oldshirt]

Chops, taste and texture. Just fantastic drumming.... I'm going to go practice some more. 

[daleannebrendon]

@Oldshirt :

Thank you so much! If I can inspire you to practise, then that is fantastic! Good luck with everything!

Dale Anne

[Charbok001]

Are you drumming in heels?

Great drumming by the way.



[daleannebrendon]

@Charbok001

Thanks for the compliment!! Yeah, I can drum in heels, just not stillettos!!

Dale Anne.

[Charbok001]

@daleannebrendon Wow!

Great! That's just impressive!

Is it different in some way or how is it? I mean, I'm a male drummer and sometimes it's really difficult to drum with my size of shoe (11) wearing formal shoes (suit shoes) because I play on a church near my home, and playing like that is a little uncomfortable.

I liked the 1:04 to 2:04 part of the solo!!

You are great, I really like your drumming.

Keep drumming!! =3

[littledebs58]

Hi again Dale Ann,

I am working on perfecting my double bass skills. Haven't really tried to do this before but after hearing you play double bass I am so set on perfecting it. How about some tips on what to practice and how to practice....

[daleannebrendon]

@littledebs58

Hi There! The best thing to practise on the double bass are just groups of two! When you incorporate them with different things with your hands, it sounds awesome! You can do triplets with one on the hands, two on the bass, or check out my other videos for more ideas- I rarely play more than 2 bass drum notes in a row!! Good luck!

Dale Anne

[dieterdoggydog]

nice

[gjss92]

amazing!!! greetings from mexico!!! :)

[masophie13]

phenomenal

[im103mike2]

Of all the female drummer videos on You tube, your has the best sound mix!

[Slimdrum]

That is the warmest snare sound I've ever heard!

[kotafaceness]

Brilliant, inspiration to female drummers. I've been playing for 9 years now and I hope I can become as fluid as you

[hphannah]

hun ser lol ud når hun spiler

[dommost]

Nice and loose.

[jstef928]

Loved it , got lots of tallant. Rock on girl.

[shanus2525]

She's really good, just needs a little more polish, just lacks a bit of finese

[TheJakeMunic]

Absolutely fantastic. I love the drums, and you fuckin rocked it.

[expired1]

damn you good

[gabriel1000ish]

you are awsome i hope one day i can be like you!!!

[sweetmusic2011]

@bonisboy :

Thanks for watching my video!! The roll that you mentioned is a series of six-stroke rolls.... I have a teaching video that goes through this lick... it is one of my favorites to play, and always sounds good when you play it fast!!

Good luck with the six-stroke roll, and all of your drumming!

Dale Anne

[Classic63EType]

Very impressive work indeed! I'm glad that I fly helicopters for a living as something like this takes real coordination and skill! I'd like to be able to say that I could match this, but I have a long way to go before I reach this level. Very enjoyable!

[pdkippax]

Good stuff!!!

[snakespence]

How in earth's beautiful name did you ever get your snare to sound sooo poppy! I would love mine to sound as dark and poppy as that! :D

[sweetmusic2011]

@snakespence -

Haha! Thanks for the compliment about the snare sound. I always say, keep tightening it!! Top and bottom heads, tight!! You don't want to choke it, of course, but most people could tighten their snares more and be happier with the sound and the feel! Also, playing rim shots for 99% of all hits makes things sound good too!!

Good luck with your drumming, thanks for writing.

Dale Anne

[snakespence]

@sweetmusic2011

Thanks for writing back!

Yeah, I keep my snare pretty tight and, I too, rim shot everything! Being a metal drummer, I sometimes even rim shot toms to give added attack.

I might try tightening snare though, see if that makes a difference :)

Also, what sort of music do you generally play? :)

Thanks!

Cameron.

[ThePretender94]

Sabian all the Way!

[PossessWithin]

Congratulations, you are my FAVORITE drummer, seriously.

[MIssUnsinn]

[clolom95]

[tom2009wight]

[crc1126]

[LavAzza1982]

she could have done a good job on opeth's damnation album with that kit config :D

[l2arkl34ndit]

nice use of paradiddles :D

[t3hubern00b]

Easily the best female drummer on youtube (that I've seen at least).

[puppetrat]

Thumbs up for Pro-Mark Rush Signature sticks!!!!

[Eurodrummer666]

Hi, Dale. What is that small cymbal you use in front f the snare? It sounds awesome!

[tumeehful]

nice drumming !

[alemon22]

she's v. good, she's beautiful, nice dress what else u need or u want? perfect!

[Drumguy1988]

Great Job I loved what you played. I trying to put something together myself and not having much luck. Again great playing.

[YYZ68]

Nice...

[csh07950]

I am considering recording my own drumming (with a little talking, unlike yours).

What would you recommend regarding to the recording equipment and stuff?

I want to start with something simple.

Hopefully someday I can do what you do.

I love your drumming.

[daleannebrendon]

@csh07950 :

Hi and thanks for the compliments about my drumming. I had a great guy do my videos, we had two cameras, one moving and one stationary, and I think these videos sound good on youtube because he really compressed the sound alot. There is also a product out there that is a camera and excellent recording device in one that retails for about $350 that is specifically for youtube posting. Good luck! Dale Anne

[lobo403]

if you continue uploading videos like this y will have to ask you marry me >,<

[slapfish]

i like the cut out pinstripe ring on your floor tom :)

and was anyone else really wanting to hear the Djembe?

[crissreznor]

SWEET CHOPPER WORK - I LOVE EM. TRY TO USE MINE ALL THE TIME ! KEEP UP THE AWSOME DRUMIN

[microguard]

That's a drumm pro right there !! great solo playing !

[kweezy019]

wow that was excellent! im a drummer myself and i enjoyed this , just goes to shows girlz cam jam hard 2 lol

[Jabarichonicles]

whats with her floor tom head...does she have another head on it?

[rockin982]

@Jabarichonicles that's an undersized zero ring.

[TeeJayGoldstoff]

This was epic!!!!!!! Your toms sound amazing...well the whole kit sounds amazing!!!!

[shalaross]

You are good. I really liked your video.

[mdl397]

Totally awesome. You're a ton of fun to watch play.

I too enjoy my Sabians and Sonor's...which snare model/size are you using in this video?

[julissajoy]

Aweosme.

[TommyGadd]

Nice work Dale love the licks between :45 - :48

Tommyddrums

[frankmyrand]

aaah... women who loves to rock... How not to love them.. ;)

[Steelyden]

you rock and have an extraordinary sound, i like your style, i play in a similair way. great!!!!!

[babyjohollaho10]

Some of the most intelligent drumming I have heard in years! Excellent use of your double pedal in combination with first-class technique as you move about your drum set. You have developed some fantastic four-bar moves that begin with some fine basic drumming on the snare with limited use of cymbals, Can't wait to hear more of your work. Joe Holland in Little Rock

[1989takeiteasy]

please, teach me.

[timezoner]

Hey Dale Anne, that was really inspiring, thanks heaps eh. Hi from New Zealand.

[DsGju1c3ba9]

FTW! EPPICCCC!!

[drumenigma]

i love the sound of that chopper cymbal. It works great with what you were laying down.

[Drumminman4U]

Love it!!! How did I miss this clip? Clean, tight rhythms, solid beats, smooth transitions...it was all there! Bravo!!! I have some "old school" clips on here. My little tributes to Buddy Rich you might enjoy as well. Thanks for this excellent clip. :-)

[agapeti]

Good God Woman! You have obvious dedicated your heart and soul to your craft...BRAVO!

[modestsk8er99]

Hell... Yes... You're badass

[TheDidolinna]

awsome!:)

[michaelc383]

Absolutely amazing drumming!! Masterful touch throughout the solo and clear concise notes, a real treat for music lovers everywhere! Thanks for posting your excellent work, and Congratulations on a World Class performance!

[MonkeyGirl6000]

[laserfille]

[RA710]

Dale Anne

[BftLvr8]

Iwish that the camera man (or woman)would have shown us her double bass technique also,I mean she damn'er uses it all the time so show it !

[hritz77]

actually that was one of THE most tasteful drum solos ive ever heard! LISTEN to it. b4 u comment on it

[THEJOYS1]

WOW!! Dale Anne, you ROCK!

[sam13275]

Nice drumming! Thats the kinda solo I like!

May i ask at 2.25 are those triplets or flams with a single bass beat? Cos they sound awesome!

[Rekilo]

Best female drummer i've seen on YouTube by far. Great technique and is enjoying it.

[Branman1994]

try Emmanuelle Caplette

she is amazing

[seano1313]

That was amazing.... the best part is, you look like you're dressed to go to work, but inside you're really a hardcore rocker!

[TheDigitalMafia]

great drumming ~! someone else might have asked this already but, why do you have a loose drum head on the floor tom ?

[voodoochild994]

the lick at 00:58 with the hi hat and cross stick is crazy! Just the sudden double time with her left foot was great!

[MrPicc0lo]

This is great! Love the sound of the kit.

[daleannebrendon]

Hey Mr. Picc0lo... thanks for the compliment... I hope your drumming is going well... do you use a piccolo snare by any chance??

Thanks,

Dale Anne

[alicecoop9009]

awsome playing, that snare drum is fucking wicked!!!

[udapud]

beautiful triplets, and awesome dynamics, love these kind of solo's. always remind me of a skitzophrenic having a conversation with himself. :)

[DjDeeeeeeeee1]

it makes me laugh that shes wearng a suit :)) ownage though

[eeikm]

it's awesome..

wooh!

youre my idol..

[gkiapos]

Hi Dale Anne!!.... I've referred some YT drummers to your site for some inspiration... There are some guys playing these MONSTER kits that are all over the place... w/o being "in" the right place.... Meanwhile, as much as I love the sound of your Sonor 2007's... I broke down and got a Tama Starclassic Performer 100% Birch kit... as much as I've been a major brand maple player (DW, Gretsch, etc. for a long time)... for all of us -- keep on drumming!! It's the heart and soul of music... Peace, GK

[daleannebrendon]

GK:

You ROCK!! Thanks for the comments and referrals! I think you'll be super happy with your new kit... birch is best!! Good luck with everything!

Dale Anne

[gkiapos]

Hi Dale Anne... Thanks for getting back... I'll keep spreading the word.. and, babe... you rock!!!!... Love your straight forward style.... George.... P.S.... I 'm amazed at how responsive and articulate the birch kit is!

[ebdrummer07]

birch is really nice, ive got a Pacific 805 series kit. it came with a 24 inch bass drum and the shells are by no means small. they are big and very open. my kit is all birch with the exception of a maple side snare. good stuff!

[Sabrason]

Great chops..like the second half better.

[gkiapos]

On a second look, is that a Sonor 2000 series?.... Are they birch?.... I'm looking into the Sonor 2007's. Love the dry sound, and great attack.... The tuning is low, but very, very rock! Peace, drummer girl... George

[gkiapos]

Hey Dale Ann.... nice musical solo!... Love the tone of the drums!.... What kind of kit are you playing?... (It's hard to make out the badge.... and, looks like an 8 lug kick?).... Any remarks or tips (i.e. tuning, heads, etc..) would be appreciated. Peace, George

[sayWotFooL]

subscribed

[PeartDisicple481]

very nice,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Harniswood]

What kind of cool effect-cymbal is that between the HiHat and the first tom?

Is it a Sabian low Max-Stack Mike Portnoy signature cymbal?

[chadsmithfanatic08]

bloody hell! that was awesum!

[AndJusticeParaMi]

double bass... no heel toe...

¬¬

[imturtle66]

WOW!! Great Articulation and Dynamics..Perfect!!

[sergioalonzo]
