In 2011 International drumming competition Hit Like A Girl was
conceived by David Levine of TRX Cymbals. David felt that the
musical products industry was not serving the female drumming
community so he wanted to create a platform that would promote and
support their development. After enlisting the help of Mindy
Abovitz of Tom Tom Magazine, and Phil Hood and Andy Doerschuk at
DRUM! Magazine, and the Hit Like A Girl Contest was born.
Since the HLAG launched it has attracted 2000+ contestants from 50
countries and has generated tens of millions of page views and fan
votes around the world. HLAG has significantly helped raise the
visibility of female drummers and spotlighted the efforts of girls
and women.
This special episode features Hit Like A Girl founder David Levine
as well as eight female drummers and percussionists from around the
world who have all been involved with the competition at various
stages.
