Lux Drummerette

I was looking for the top female drummers recently, as normally, the first impression to everyone about drummers will be male. Now then, I can show that there is also some top female drummers. 

While doing research, not only top female drummers I found, the fantastic point is, she could wear heels when she plays drums! This is seriously cool!

 Lux Drummerette is one of the 

TOP FEMALE DRUMMERS!

Is there anyone could play drums with wearing heels? 

YES, LUX DRUMMERETTE DID IT! 

Lux's drums cover is seriously amaze, especially she could step the bass drum continuously (with double paddle) with wearing heels. In fact, it takes a longer time to practice in order to learn how to step the bass drum continuously for the entire music. It is a tiring practice for all drummers. However, seems it is not a big trouble for Lux to play this. From the video, through her facial expression, she looks enjoyed while drumming. 

A brief background about Lux.

Lux is a female drummer who started to play drums since she was 12 years old. She was taught how to play drums at Latin Music School. After she played three years with Latin music, she was introduced to the song “Zombie” by Cranberries. Then, she changed her mind, turned to hard rock. She teach herself by listening hard rock’s songs (Profile engine, n.d.).

In 2007, she’s awarded the title of Worlds Fastest Female Drummer (Miss WFD 2007). Now, Lux is an official endorser of Paiste, Axis Percussion, Serial Drummer Clothing, and she has a full sponsorship with Too Fast Clothing (Drum Crunch, 2011).

There are few tips to practice the Drum Effectively:

 - Take your time:

When you are learning something new, it takes time to practice. Even you think you are able to play it well, practice it with a slower beat and make sure you’re doing right. Repeat the same beat for few hours which makes you getting smoother with the skills. 

- Count out loud:

Do not feel shy to count out loud while you’re playing drum. It is a good way to check whether you’re on the right beats and rhythms or not. If the beats you’re playing doesn’t match with your counting, which means you’re slower or faster than the origin beats. 

- Sit up straight - Be ready to play

It is essential to make a right way, sit properly and straight when you’re ready to play your music instrument. It is not only good for you body, but also helping you to focus on what are you doing. You will play smoothly when you’re ready well. 

- Use a Metronome 

Metronome is a very good “guidance” for music players. It is an electronic device that measure the beats per second/minute (Kraemer, n.d.). By using Metronome, drummer has a proper beat to practice with. 

- Set a practice routine 

Practice never ends. The more you practice, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more you gain.

Introduction

Hello! 

Introduction:

I love Music. Basically, I will focus on the drum beat while I was listening to the music. Therefore, I started to learn how to play drum when I was 15 years old. Although I played drums for few years, I don't really do research on drum's information/background such as review some famous drummers' background, get to know those popular drum sets, and other drum musical percussion. Now, finally, I have this chance to do my research and share with my friends. 

Drumland is going to publish something that is related to drum, for example, some drummers’ background, drum covers from YouTube, basic lessons for beginners, introduce some musical instruments, and others. 

Enjoy!

Sharing is Caring :D
