at 0:12, when she says "why not", she sounds exactly like monica geller from "friends"

Bro, you mad me spit my coffee and nearly wet myself with this random, ridiculous comment. I was having the worst day, thank you for the hearty laugh.

What an incredible player, although the clip has a distintive 'Lawrence Welk" quality to it. Everything is played very 'white', with most accents on the upbeat. I'd like to see her play something with a bit of 'soul' involved in it. Maybe a James Brown medley would be nice.

Glad to see a teen with some respect but keep in mind, she probably played this same routine 100+ times and was bored with it. As a jazz drummer she could play much more compicated stuff. When you're smiling on the outside and dying on the inside it probably comes out a litte hokey. Hope you take the time to check out their "Iced Tea" and "Caravan" recordings. Cheers P.S. Don't qualify yourself as a "girl" drummer. There aren't "guy" or "girl" drummers, just "good" or "bad" ones.

Never realized how good she actually was. She was doing this before a lot of women were playing drums.
