Jen Ledger, Skillet Drummer - Drum Solo HD

[sdsfguy1]

never seen a drummer stop drumming to try to get the crowd to cheer. I LOL'd.

Coming from a drummer trust me she aint all that...

[1O1stairborne]

John Bonham would destroy her.

[redrock717]

Reminds me of Keith moon

[Stickgeneral524]

Just another average chick drummer.... Because she's a girl she gets more credit as a drummer than she deserves.

[shatanize]

i think she just wana be * joe * (from slipknot)

[shatanize]

@shatanize but she need more power for his note :p

[taoart71]

ehh la morrita tiene padre estilo, aparte esta bien joven por lo que de seguro seguira desarrollando.

[marysman1960]

Girl knows how to work a crowd AND she's pretty damn good at the craft.

[TheBluishgoblin]

how the fuck can you say this is horrible, calm the fuck down, shes not the best fucking drummer in the fucking world, but shes still good

[connorleclerc]

@TheBluishgoblin debatable.

[juan26mayo]

@TheBluishgoblin your comment needs more fucks in it

[svimle511]

whoever recorded this, did so using a wooden camera.. fucking sound is terrible

[drummerjacob]

ive never seen a drummer pause and wait for praise so much during such a mediocre non-linear drum solo. well, from this point forward i can say that i have.

[res4king]

THIS IS HORRIBLE

[QueenieTran14]

OMG i can't see her stick anymore

[zeinfadel]

had her drum stick hit me on the head at the concert i saw her at :D

[pierces19941]

Oh, sweet, what kind of pineapple was this recorded with?

[baileychap10]

I freaking love her XD... I saw them play last night it was the best concert ever!!!!!!

[niceboosai]

[TeamGamerMW2]

really exelent!!!

[TeamGamerMW2]

ONLY SHIT!

[Chrome104]

If every video on youtube wasn't from a shitty camera I could really hear how good she is.

[VirusMan254]

Wait a fucking minute... this solo was played before--Jesus Christ, some of the comments are right!

[don2xify]

nothing special for a drummer but she's a girl so.. it makes it more special...lol

[845tina]

faze your soo right…. not impressed…. not "solo"…..just fill in……while the band set up for the next or final song…. shes wack

[J1Faze]

These aren't really drum solos. It's supposed to hype the crowd, get them riled for a finale. I've played drums for 9 years and I could do this after a year and a half. I'm not denying her ability, she has talent, but this is nothing out of the ordinary. She played a couple of r,r,l,l with a synced kick and then popped double kicked. Great for a non-musical crowd, but nothing out of the ordinary for drummers who know what they're doing. Hint, go look up Mike Portnoy or Neil Peart, who have more.

[1979audiman]

a female neil peart

[TrickItUpBeatz]

THAT WAS PRETTY FUCKIN SICK

[glarcenaire]

She rocks...



[MrROTCnazi]

well its still a bad ass solo

[LilBdancer]

To every hater... I think it's funny you will talk smack but look who is on the stage.. i don't see you up there!

[MrCardsfn]

All you haters, let's see you get up there and do something better!

[RockinDbop]

@MrCardsfn i will

[PartyBusGaming]

@MrCardsfn ... okay

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@MrCardsfn I sure can.

[MrCardsfn]

@LeMaitreDeSorts then how is she up there, and you at your computer watching videos of her?

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@MrCardsfn I'm not into playing drums in the boring manner that this music calls for.

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts Here's my question, why are you commenting on all of Jen's solo videos and tearing her and fans of Jen down? Because all you're doing is being a troll right now? Jen is actually a very talented drummer, and apparently you do not know the accolades she has received before skillet and during skillet. Like being runner up in an all boys and girls competition for drummer of the year when she was 16. She was only the 2nd women in the competition's history to make the top 12. (1/2)

[mychemxhelena]

@mychemxhelena (2/2) She was involved with the Guinness Book of World record for endurance drumming with her group shattering the record of drumming for 52 hours and 15 minutes EACH. She was featured in DrumHead magazine of 20 drummers to watch in 2011, also being featured twice in the magazine. Roy Mayorga from Stone Sour (drummer) commented that Jen has a very strong ability in drumming and is impressed by her skill. Not only drumming, Jen can sing and played bass in a band before Skillet.

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena If any of the good drummers actually did those competitions, then they could be a valid title.

She's not good at bass.

Stone Sour's drummer is better, sure. Who is he to say she has a strong ability in drumming?

And a record like that has no bearing on how well someone plays the drums.

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts LOL. Have you heard her play bass? No.

The thing is, Jen CAN drum better, but they're not going to put in parts like Joey Jordison would play in the middle of 'Hero'. she's not going to bust out going double bass for 5 minutes and going nuts.

Skillet even said multiple times 'Our parts are not hard to play, but it's a spiritual thing with the members as being all best friends.'

They're not trying to be Dream Theater.

And Skillet's kicking ass at being SKILLET. So Is Jen<3

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena Jordison is obnoxious. Double bass continuing for extended periods of time is retarded and doesn't benefit the music it is usually behind. Dream Theater is just out to show off.

And what does being best friends have to do with difficulty of music to play?

Their music can be easy, that doesn't make it bad.

When you are on stage and do crap like she did in this video, that's what shows her ability. And it's a terrible sight.

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts What I'm saying by is they don't make hard parts, like if you watch the interview with them about Ben leaving, John says something like "Our parts aren't hard, any guy can learn our parts, we're not Avenged Sevenfold"

Jen even tried for the band when she was 17 with the song Smells Like Teen Spirit. Apparently you've never been to a Skillet show, because I'm proud to say I've seen them 3 times and they put on a phenomenal show.

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena You know who puts on a phenomenal show? Reel Big Fish

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts I agree, they do.

But I don't go on bands/artist's videos that I dislike and yell everything that I don't like and think they're untalented.

So take a lesson and stop doing so.

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena This was the first of my seeing her play.

I am more displeased that the videos are labeled as solos when they are no such thing.

And the praise of the terrible playing.

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts

She is a good player and performer whether you like it or not. How is this the first when I've seen you comment on more than one of her solo videos?

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena Because it's the same exact solo.

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts It's not actually. Jen started her solo's on tour in 2010 and throughout 2010 and early 2011 Jen used the same solo. She now in later 2011 and 2012 have tweeked the original solo with different parts into a new solo. A real drummer would know that making up a new solo every night isn't easy because solo's aren't just random drumming all over the place, it's supposed to flow and sound right. Which is why she reuses her solos.

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena I know how drum solos work. This is not a solo. It's terrible.

A solo isn't required every night. That would be retarded.

There is no flow to her "solo". She has breaks every 30 seconds.

How somebody could actually take the time to write crappy parts like this is beyond me.

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts How somebody could actually take the time to go to multiple videos of her solos and comment about how you hate it is beyond me.

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena This takes way less time. xD

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts Well from what I see this is your 3rd day continuing to argue with me, so it takes just as long!

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts Jen exudes more energy from drummers that are more talented than her these days. Your comments are irrelevant, stop trolling.

[LeMaitreDeSorts]

@mychemxhelena Energy? If that's what you call her mindless banging on that set..

[mychemxhelena]

@LeMaitreDeSorts Actually yes. Very sad that you only responded to one thing of mine, clearly you have no argument.

[connorleclerc]

@MrCardsfn

Matt Greiner

[tophatjohnny]

Cute banging!!

[sodapopwilson1303]

shes heavean

[PartyBusGaming]

All she did was linear paterns which are R L K K R L K K

R=Right hand, L = Left hand, K= Kick

[glassmanipulator]

@PartyBusGaming finally, someone else see's thru the good looks and see's her for what she really is.. a mediocre drummer at best.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@PartyBusGaming Jesus christ, are you people fucking kidding me? Haven't you anything better to do than to find holes in professional players' playing? Stop acting as if you know what you are talking about and go practice. You are obviously jealous that you aren't on the stage.

[PartyBusGaming]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Jesus christ, are you kidding me? Haven't YOU got anything better to do than complain about people who don't think your favorite drummer is the best drummer ever?

If you played drums yourself, you would understand what she did was nothing special. Yes, she has skills, but it's nothing to worship her over. People have an issue with her just like they do with Travis Barker. Both are way over-hyped for their skills.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@PartyBusGaming I do play drums dumbass, and I can tell you this. One of the things that goes into being a great musician is being a great performer. You are obviously brainwashed into thinking that polyrhythms, dynamics, and independence are the only things that matter in a drum solo. This is a rock concert, and the majority of the attendants are not musicians, therefore, a complex drum solo is not necessary.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@PartyBusGaming Also, dogging on other drummers is immature. Travis Barker, likewise with Jen Ledger, does what he needs to do for the setting that he is in. Travis, likewise with Jen, is one hell of a drummer, and saying otherwise shows an obvious lack of education on your part.

[PartyBusGaming]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Not once have I said that those drummers aren't good and aren't doing their job as a drummer well. I just said they are overhyped. You need to calm your tits, dude.

[BAMAANDFUNNY13]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Dude if you think you can do better than that than why arent you famous or something... your a wannabee

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@BAMAANDFUNNY13 What the hell are you sending me this for? When the fuck did I trash Jen?

[sethpayton28]

i will marry her!!!!

[glassmanipulator]

Also I have to add, she kinda looks like she has cerebral palsy or something when she is playing.. what a sloppy spaz.

[MotorCityNova]

@glassmanipulator I may have C.P but at least im not a DEE DEE DEE

[givingbloodkpnfaith]

@glassmanipulator sloppy, you must be mistaken for hard hitting dead on timing.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@glassmanipulator Incorrect. Learn what you're talking about. Also, grow up a little bit, and show some respect for other musicians.

[glassmanipulator]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX 100% correct.. Just some talentless girl playing the same drum solo over, and over, and over, and over, and over.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@glassmanipulator Nope, incorrect. 

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@glassmanipulator Hey everyone, check out this coward's channel! He seems to enjoy trolling on female drummers! Haha, listen guy. You are a talentless, pseudo intellectual piece of shit that seems to be under the impression that his comment will piss people off. It's 2012, stupid fuck. People can tell the difference between criticism and trolling. You are simply going to get blocked from every uploader that you comment on, and nothing more. Do something that matters.

[glassmanipulator]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX You seem to be a sad fanboy... Say something I care about.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@glassmanipulator You sound like someone who doesn't know the definition of the words he uses. Fail troll is a fail. Ignored.

[SuzakuSC]

@glassmanipulator I like how it's easy for you to talk, but bear in mind, that kind of talk will get you nowhere, especially since a lot of people appreciate her and love her playing. Eventually, you're just a hater who's no better than a child.

[glassmanipulator]

@SuzakuSC Eventually im a hater ? I think im hatin right now moron.

[glassmanipulator]

She sucks.. every solo is the same and its not even that good. My 14 year old nephew could play this.

[glassmanipulator]

she sucks

[quadbassblaster]

she a decent looking chick, got a nice trick with the spinning stage, plays for a crowd that cheers at rather mediocre drumming.... she got lucky, im happy for her, end of. 

[alex199273]

2:05 joey's like the drummer from slipknot drumming around and spinning ...

[kamador627]

never heard of this band myself besides i've heard much better solo's from drummers younger then her

[unicursalhex]

Tired licks but still cool

[logansGT]

She's hot, but every solo sounds the same.....I enjoy it much more with the audio turned off.

[JonathanxThexDrummer]

@fillecool2 True that..

[juanchiitoRubik]

i love jen ledger

[TheFeeez21]

same solo.. yeah its the same show every nighit.. its called a tour! of course she'll do the same solo especially since the lights and the circling of the drumset are controlled by some body else... all parts of the show.. or at least as many as possible.. need to be planned controlled and coordinated.. MMMMMKAY!!

[eagle555557]

at first i thought it was just the same consort in different videos or copys but no she does the same solo every time. i mean its alright but ugh. im a drummer and its easy to just do whatever comes to you each time. idk also a lot of her stuff is just fast playing which is good but its not everything. ugh i still like it i guess :/

[IhminenEntertaiment]

U need to get new potato for next filming

[kjboeg1]

people keep saying its the same solo. Ok it is but my brother is a drummer and people don't understand you can't just wing it all the time there had to be some stability do everyone in the band is on the same page. Jen Ledger is amazing.

[timpani25]

wow, she just seems so much more oriented to her audience than to the music. stopping every 15 seconds to get more applause???? from an audience that erupts into more applause when the drumset starts to revolve? junior high stuff. hey, just my opinion.

[lstrbrowns16]

It's easy to talk shit when you're not the one up there doing that, isn't it?...she's awesome good for her!

[PsyHooZ]

J. Jordisson turns much better!))

[BielLedger]

I love JEN LEDGER

[VaderRulz1]

Jen is a awsum drummer :)

[Blade6455]

i can do that easy :|

[jpalva70]

what do you mean only 21? by 21 she should be a seasoned veteran with 15 yrs experience

[BrandonKarnatz]

@jpalva70 Well not everyone picks up an instrument at age 6... I didn't pick up a guitar and seriously play at all until age 15. Now that I'm 4 years older, I shouldn't be a seasoned veteran with 13 years experience. I wasn't encouraged to try ANYTHING musically until the 5th grade, and I know for a fact that I'm not the only one.

[rippenburn]

She does nothing for me but then I can't stand drum solos or keyboard solos for that matter. The only players who should be allowed to solo are lead guitarists.

[TeamXtremeMvz]

i kinda love her as a drummer .. shes awesome

[DrFrickenFrack]

She's showing off amazing independence (aka polyrhythmic) limb movement. It's deceptively complicated and difficult to master.

[TheMaartenbaert]

@kevintheniggat WTF U CRAZY???

[TeamXtremeMvz]

Awesome Quality!!!!

[marcelopico123]

ela ñ toka porra nei uma mano

[JohnnieRhodes]

The video may be HD  , but the audio is BS !!

[kevintheniggat]

HAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK?!?! HOW ARE YOU SAYING THIS IS GREAT?!?! LOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOL

[Mrwhatever451]

@kevintheniggat YOU GOT PROBLEMS...

[KillsDrawings]

@kevintheniggat WTF IS WRONG WITH U

[alicepinksaymiu]

good solo, but the show is stolen by joey jordison

[MusicIsLife1255]

I love how she's freaking out on the kick drum

[Laetitiasparrow]

does she play in a band or is she only a solo artist ?

[Iceeezz]

@Laetitiasparrow She play in the Band called "Skillet"

[jonnydiasdrummer]

só uma coisa, bateristas que se prezam não ficam girando no palco!

[awstupid]

Jen's pretty when she smiles

[wesley2733]

I see 3 sticks

[009oo9009]

mensa mina

[fillecool2]

Always the same solo

[YttepWhettam]

@fillecool2 At least it's a good one

[blaznnoob]

@fillecool2 a hot chick is playing drums in a rock band and youre complaining about it being the same solo? Are you gay?

[benanaman]

and now I go and buy a skillet album...

[MrGzwx]

aha now i get why shes in the band xD

[kenny32010]

ya are just upset cause its a girl drummer. and she can play. just saying...

[Huoha]

if a male drummer would drum like this it would be considered shit :D just saying

[chimeramusic]

Riiiight. I'm off to watch some Gavin Harrison solo's..

[MrDeluxeProduction]

LOL good solo but fills are out of time and sloppy tempo

[TDrhum]

cute ... but bad tempo realy bad... and always the same technique solo ...

[MeerwaserPat]

Thats not difficult... Oo



[FullVolumesOnly]

@MeerwaserPat its not difficult, yet your still in your garage doing this, and shes making millions, sucks dick right?

[MeerwaserPat]

@FullVolumesOnly i played for 20 thousand people and it´s easy

[FullVolumesOnly]

@MeerwaserPat the glory of the internet, being able to lie without needing any proof

[MeerwaserPat]

@FullVolumesOnly Was geht dich das eigentlich an du kleines Stück kacke? Geh mit deinen Eltern saufen und halt die Fresse

[Bunji2k6]

@MeerwaserPat Dude, your butthurt is showing.

[MeerwaserPat]

@Bunji2k6 Und du lutscht deiner Mutter den Schwanz

[Bunji2k6]

@MeerwaserPat Ah, wirklich? Wie weiS du das? :P I love how you resort to insulting people in your mother tongue when you lose an argument.

[MeerwaserPat]

@Bunji2k6 ja du Schwuchtel ich weiß es. Schwules Kind.

[Bunji2k6]

@MeerwaserPat 24 hours later and you're still raging, and you can do better than that. Come at me bro.

[MeerwaserPat]

@Bunji2k6 ich muss die nichts beweisen, wenn du mir nicht glaubst ist es dein Problem. Du suchst hier ja eh nur Aufmersamkeit.

[Bunji2k6]

@MeerwaserPat And you're somehow not? Lol, cognitive dissonance much

[MeerwaserPat]

@Bunji2k6 mimimi



[2gasgo]

Jen is both HOT and cool...

[chastuk]

Could have sworn i see her wittling points on the end of them sticks before she threw them into the audience.

Sorry but for my money i reckon Mitch Mitchell or Ginger Baker was better. i can remember Phil Collins, when he was on drums in Genesis, doing a better solo than that

[ViolenceII]

@chastuk Really? You can remember Phil Collins, one of the best drummers of all time, doing a better solo than that? I don't believe you.

[CatarinaxRock]

For Ever my IDOL!!! <3

[14djman]

BEAST!!!!



[EargasmVEVO]

omg she's terrible -.-

[baysidedan1]

Thats a huge Kitchen

[klouzerk]

I would pay dearly to see her play drums with Duncan Phillips(Newsboys) & Yogi(Demonhunter)!!!

[TiteProducts]

Honestly, not all that good.

[Made1nGreece]

@thisdrumkid jealous more please..btw you notice that she is female and almost 22 years old and she's drummer of Skillet?you jealous that much?

[cjssrswrx04]

truly amazing!

[nm1underoathfan]

Saw her do the same show at wild adventures Florida in 2011 it was the sickest concert ever Jen Rocks

[MajStephenRiggs]

Amen! Skillet should do a USO tour!!!

[melkerri]

@thisdrumkid yeah i agree with you!

[Jobohobo52z]

nice kitchen she got there

[paulsaylee]

i love you

[OmegaTrooper1]

she must have gotten really dizzy when that thing started spinning pretty fast?

[thisdrumkid]

from a drummer's perspective only, she's really not that good.

[McNamaster]

@thisdrumkid id like to see u say that to every other drummer

[skangmox]

excellent audio!

[Guevama]

@skangmox HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[ojay2001]

@skangmox LOL! So true!

[MrNivek133]
