True in many areas. True in drumming as well, traditionally a
male-dominated pursuit. More and more girls/women are playing drums, and are
very good at it. While most male drummers are intrigued by and often in
admiration of women drummers, there are many that are threatened by it. And
since women tend to be quicker and have better feel, they often do better at
it anyway.
Like this one:http://www.hannahforddrums.com/ Named Modern Drummer
magazine's up-and-coming young drummer in '06. Very nice, mature girl as
well--and she's only about 16!
There is nothing inherently male about either riding horses or playing
drums. Or many other things either!
