Was just wondering what you guys thought of all these girl drummers getting loads of views on youtube?

I'd advise that you just view them as "drummers". This difference in genders thing has really gotten old.

I'm on the fence...
On one hand, I love that there are members of the lesser gender (j/k) with the ability AND interest to play the drums as well as some do.
On the other hand - it seems weird that they play as well as, or inferior to, other male drummers, but get notoriety simply because of their gender.
It's the way the world turns.
Lesser gender?Wow....do you really believe that?I've worked with female cops that will kick your butt down the block,everyday and twice on Sundays.
Hey man... he typed (j/k)... I think that means "just kidding"... So I don't think he really believes that. You misunderstood his point.
Anyway good for you for standing out for the chicks, hehe, lol.
Cheers.
Yeah i do, dont mean to offend anyone, its just that i see these girls on youtube that have around 1 million views and they can hardly play the standard 4/4 beat.
.....That's just how things are in this society where sex is dirty and violence is family entertainment. Let's face it, you don't see marketers trying to sell cars by draping semi naked men over them, do you? 'Tis a shame ...

In an industry that actively celebrates and awards the difference in gender, what hope has anyone else got?
And the Grammy for best female vocalist goes to.......
Or how about?
The Oscar for best actress in a leading role goes to.....
As for the question at hand, I think it's perfectly valid. Sex sells. Advertisers and marketers cottoned on to this idea years ago......long before youtube. That horse bolted whem Adam was a lad, so it's no surprise to me at all that people will throw out a tag line that plays on gender in the hope of being noticed in the fog.
What do I think of it? Fine by me, I see it everywhere, everyday.....on billborads, on TV....everywhere I turn my head.
A "hot chick" playing drums is just another minute example. If they feel the need to promote gender or even the fact that they are "hot" in order to score a few views it's no skin off my nose. "Views" are one thing......if they have no talent to begin with then who's gonna stick around anyway?
No harm, no foul, for mine. At the end of the day, they've still gotta be able to cut it for me to keep watching.
I agree with you. But we're talking about an "auditory" experience rather than a visual one. If I put on a record and the music is good, then why should anyone care if it was a male or a female drummer? The music is good. If it's not good, then it still shouldn't matter what the gender is, right?
The very nature of youtube is visual (hell, we could argue the very nature of popular music in this day in age is visual. Thanks to MTV, it would appear that a band or artist is only as good as their accompanying video)
