Female Snare Drummers
DCBowitz
Are there any more out there? Will there be any females that can play
anymore? Not at the Cadets I'm sure but where else?

At Bluecoats, we had a female snare drummer. She's one of the coolest people
I've ever met.

I once knew a chick snare drummer from Allentown, NJ, H.S. that later went on
to march in the NY Skyliners, Bushwhackers, Crossmen, and Carolina Crown...
Wonder whatever happened to her?

like most female rudimental percussionists, she probably got fed up with being
called a chick snare drummer and decided to do something else with her
life....

She's the one on the end of Crossmen's '96 snareline. Throwin' down! ;-)

In a issue of DCI today there is a picture of a female snare player for
the Blue Knights WGI line.

That girl had a snarl on her face that just said "Yeah, I'm a chick and I
can drum, SO WHAT???" :)
(/sarcasm off)
She was pretty cool though...

Sunrisers had 2 female snares at the same time in the early 80's. Lynn
DeAngelis and Kathy Marion (Now Ferrari). and I might add that they were one
of the best senior drum lines ever.

To get into the Wayback Machine, in the 60s a young woman
named Cherokee "Chick" Merino played with the all-girl
ND-ettes of Bridgeport, CT. Yes, she was part (or all, what
does it matter?) Native American, something announcers
always played up, which I thought was demeaning, even back
then.
Now, all the other snares were female, too (natch), but
Chickie, as I recall, would go into indies and beat the
pants (P. I.) off guys from much bigger and better corps.
Had not the old-guard prejudice existed (as well as not
being able to join an out-of-town corps), she probably could
have played for almost any corps she wanted.

Westshore Cadets had two great female snare drummers this past season.
Angela Russo (also the drum captain) and Jaime Hopkins. Both great
players with chops!!!!!!

Blue Devils b corps had a female snare drummer in '97. i don't think I should
give her name out, but she was an awesome person and a great and dedicated
drummer. We also had a female bass drummer, who was awesome as well. There
are female drummers out there. . . .they're just much more rare than male
drummers.

Speaking from experience female snare drummers and percussionists in general
are just as capable as any male snare player I've known. I've taught full
lines all females and was never disappointed by their playing and mostly
impressed. I'd accept a female in any line just as equally as I would a male
performer.

I knew a Dawn that marched Crossmen and Carolina Crown.
She was the cockiest pompous bitch I'd ever met in my life. I marched with Blue
Knights those years, so who knows maybe it was a competitive thing. Anyway she
had just as good of if not better hands than the other GUYS in the entire
drumline.
I also know the female snare drummer for the Blue Knights percussion ensemble.
She marched cymbals for the drum corps in '97. Blue Knights also had a female
snare drummer in the beginning of the '96 season. Unfortuneately she couldn't
finish the season with due to a hip injury caused by her harness.

Got one female snare here! I can still play, but I can't march a crab
step anymore due to an ice hockey injury!

Yeah, Colts had a girl named Jenny Whipple (spelling?) march with them
on the snare line in 1997. I think she was 3rd from the right. She
was really cool b/c she didn't talk that much and therefore could NOT
get into trouble :P.
VCColy
In 1982, there were 5 top 12 corps that had ladies in their snare lines. Blue
Devils, Phantom, Spirit of Atlanta, Crossmen, and the Freelancers. All were
top 12 corps that year. Don't know the names of them all, but 2 of them,
Kelly Haupt of BD and Jazelle of Crossmen could PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's not necessary, and it's not true. Dawn is an AWESOME snare player, being
one of the best in those lines she marched, and I dont think calling her a
"bitch" is very necessary, especially on here.

True , I marched with Dawn in 1991 NY Skyliners ,Her first year (i think )in
corps .She blew all of us away with her ability and got better from there.I
dont think the name calling is proper,shes a very nice person and confident is
a better word!
p.s. Dawn if you see this, you started it !!!

You're right. It was 1985 and she was the center snare that year.

Her name (the Cadet snare) was Diane Gately. And yes...she was the best one in
the line!!! She marched 1983 - 85. Prior to that she marched in North Star's
(the chrome wall) snare line....

Hey Dude,
That is MY sister your talking about!!! I really don't care for some talking
about my sister that way. I was the first one to ever play with her and I
thought It was an honor to march with her, in the Skyliners(91,94). She by far
is one of the best DRUMMERS I have ever seen, nevermind that she is a girl.
I have only one more wish left in my life, and that is to play next to MY
sister again. Just look at 94 Skyliners video at the end of the drum solo and
watch my first dream come true, Me and my sister playing side by side:-)
So in the future please watch what you say about my sister, I don't like to
bad things said about her.
Besides you most likely think that because she SMOKED you
Thank you

Beth is a bad-ass!!! She is the one of the coolest drummers I've ever
met, male or female. If you don't think a "chick in the drumline" can
have chops, you must see Ms. Raddock chowz it up. I don't think she was
center though, she was on the end of the left side in the video I saw, I
believe it was '80. One of the best drumlines Spirit ever put out.
Anybody else have any comments or stories about Beth. This could be an
interesting thread, I think.

I talk to Beth sometimes via email... she was on the left hand end of Spirit of
Atlanta's 1980 snareline. She did have some chops, for sure!

Dawn kicked major ass this summer. Most men would be jealous when they see her
drum. I tought her at Carolina Crown this past summer and can honestly say
that she drums as well and as smart as any man I've seen.

Ya, Kiwanis Kavaliers had a Female Tenor, Her name was Rieko. She
marched '96 as well. Kavaliers also had 1 girl on snare and two in the
bass line.

Not recently, but I think that there were 1 or 2 females on VK's tenor
line in 1989. Came out fairly well on the CDs if you happen to take a
listen.

There was a killer female tenor player for the Westshoremen Sr. Corps
in 92, and 95-97. She was a monster player and had the look to go
along with it. Deb Wilt is her name. She is a phenominal tenor goat.

there was a female on Kiwanis Kavalier's '97 quad line
i do believe
Roger Carter
Nope, there were no female quads in '89 VK's line. Their names were Kevin,
Matt, Allan, Jim, and Paul. There was, however, a girl named Trish in the
snare line. I also played snare that year for the VK.
What are you talking about that came out fairly well on the CD?

she wasn't there very long. I remember seeing her in Chattanooga, and then the
next time we saw Bluecoats, which was just a few days later they had 4
tenors(all male), and it stayed that way all season.
Jason Porter

Yeah, that's true, but she stayed on tour as an alternate, and she went out
on retreat with the corps. (She was one of the more aggressive people with
"tenor games") Not afraid to mix it up with the boys...

The Phantom Regiment had a girl in their seven person snare line when
they first made DCI Finals in 1974.
Historical note: That was also the first year they --like the Guardsmen
and Muchachos-- got a set of "Vistalite" snares as a Ludwig promo. The
Ludwig "rep" then was Al LeMert, former PR drum instructor from the 60s,
and currently the founder of "Silver Fox" drum sticks.

Not in a corps that I know of, but there was a girl tenor player from one
of the High School line at our state's PAS this year who knocked the socks
off of most others, and could've taken a lot of the college players too...
I don't remember what school she was from though...

Her name was Trish Noe, and was only 15. She was officially a quad alternate
and never marched quads for a show, but she did march a floor tom for the
closer and conducted on the front sideline. Hell of a girl...
