  • Have you ever found yourself making assumptions about someone before you’ve met them? What about before seeing them play drums? From assuming she plays ‘quieter’ instruments to not being taken seriously before an audition, Dorothea Taylor has heard it all when it comes to judging a book by its cover. She’s here to prove that you can’t always accurately assess a drummer - or anybody - by how they look. Check out Dorothea’s cover of “Down With The Sickness” by Disturbed!
    Drummers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and ethnicities. “No matter how good you are, how old you are, we’re all still part of a drumming family.” - Dorothea Taylor

      my grandad who passed 5 years ago was also a drummer, ofc male drummer etc pretty normal but he was 80 listening to disturbed, bush, tool, and others which is just strange considering his age haha but he always told me that he didnt care for the lyrics the song etc he cared the drums, because according to him in the modern age drums didnt matter anymore nothing special is being produced. so he only listened to real drummers no matter what genre. Also he introduced me into drumming when i was 8 and im still doing it. Amazing mentor.

    My grand daughter ( on the spectrum ) was worried that 'girls don't play drums' She taught herself this by watching the video over and over. Tonight was her 21st birthday party and she played this and a Baby Animals song..full out on her electric kit...she stunned her friends and their families and it was wonderful. Dorothea's message has changed her attitude and given her so much confidence. Thank you so much. Grateful Nan.

I also play bass and electric guitars and have been for the same amount of time as the drums. I love the words you said at the end Dorothea. Ultimately it doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, what your ethnicity is or by what you look like, people shouldn't judge by the cover of a person. You slayed those drums.

      Daniel Martin this is easy to answer. Recording drummers or drums is all on technique. Even 'famous' drummers are less expressive in the booth. On stage it is a different story non the less.
      Even Michael Jackson sang 'normal' in the studio.

      I find it easier to see it as aging simply being gaining experience. A lot of people seem to assume that a lot of things are the perogative of "young" people. Age has nothing to do with most things other than literally how long people have been on this earth. Thinking anything else really is just a mild form of ageism.

      If I remember seeing something about her... She started out with some kind of jazz band, then pop or surf rock (think of the style of Beatles and Beach Boys when they were "the thing"), but it's the technicality of the playing that got her into the harder styles of rock later on. My understanding is she has a reputation of coaching/teaching to improve the technique of other drummers out there. She's out there to school in more than one way.
