Her playing is great - for a girl. It's average for a guy


She doesn't look like most female drummers in her control and the way she hits.

I thought this thread was on the artist Beck, NOT Jeff Beck, so I was very surprised.

I think most male drummers would have be extremely intimidated to replace Vinnie.
A female drummer will never worry about being compared to Vin...right?

Cindy Blackman is in a totally different class than most female drummers. There
are a handful of female drummers on par with the best male drummers and Blackman
is in this class.

JB can do what he wants...his fan base is not like Dream Theater with cats that have
been a family forever. However, JB has had serious noteworthy drummers...is
Tai on bass? Now that would be interesting!

Now that I think about it...this doesn't surprise me. Playing with Vinnie is an intense
experience...he probably wants to simplify...less notes...take a breath...not have
as many alpha personalities in the mix.

I guarantee you that this has nothing to do with the music.

I would also bet that Jeff's manager had a big role in this.

Rhonda was killin it when I saw Prince on the Emancipation tour. But then of course she had a monster drummer like John Blackwell behind her. Prince always has had bass parts that were tricky in a non-traditional way.

I think she has a great groove and nice fills on the second clip.
What a great thing to be discovered on youtube!
Best of luck with the gig!

Beck hires his own drummers, but some people here think they should do it instead LOL

I read some harsh stuff on here about Narada, Lenny and many other big boys too... Maybe it´s time to stop being that anal about things, right?
I´m happy for her and wish her all the luck on the gig...
