In just over five short years, Mindy Abovitz has expanded the narrow definition who gets to drum with Tom Tom magazine, the only magazine dedicated to female drummers. As its founder and editor-in-chief, Mindy has fused her passions of feminism and drumming to create a platform designed to dispel the ignorance, misogyny and flat-out neglect often lodged at female percussionists in a male-dominated field. What started out as a personal blog quickly grew into a printed quarterly that features an intentional broad palette of diversity from race to class to sexual identity that celebrates women and girl drummers and beatmakers from all over the world. The revolution begins with a pair of sticks and a dream!

Talk Music Talk Playlist/052: She's the Drummer
After interviewing this week's guest, Mindy Abovitz, it inspired me
to dig deeper into the history of female drummers. With this
invigorated knowledge under my belt, I bring to you a TMT Spotify
playlist featuring an amazing assortment of percussionists and
beatmakers that are doin' it for themselves, as Aretha and Annie
Lennox once proclaimed. Revel in the pop magic of Gina Schock from
the Go-Go's and the Bangles' Debbi Peterson. Meet up in the Ladies'
room with Klymaxx's Bernadette Cooper or celebrate your inner Riot
Grrrl with Bikini Kill and Bratmobile. And of course, there's drum
pioneers Sheila E. and Terri Lyne Carrington. It's the best variety
of drumming you'll hear in nearly 70 female-fueled minutes.
Enjoy!
