When other drummers say "Original, punchy but not amazing" or "Such solo display cannot adequately qualify a 'good' drummer", I am inclined to think they are just jealous that this girl rocks and a lot of people dig her talent. At the end of the day, it is what non-drummers think and like that defines if a drummer is "good" or not. Pigeonholing by saying "good" is onky if you can play as part of a band is a one-track mode of thinking that is stuck in the past. Evolve or get left behind.
S.White and her buddy Vela Blue are totally awesome drummers who bring the whole package of skill, show(wo)manship, attitude and love of the performance to the table and nothing negative that other drummers say can ever detract from that.

Hi Jay H.,

That's the most refreshing piece of writing I've seen these last few years. You are absolutely right when you mentioned:

"At the end of the day, it is what non-drummers think and like that defines if a drummer is 'good' or not."

I've also learnt a new word: 'onky'. I'm evolving and hope I won't get left behind.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the pointers you provided.

Please write in again when you can. I appreciate your visit.

Thanks, Stephen. I remember 'Mambo Girl' all right. Grace Chang was a cutie pie. The song was a hit in the music world. And outside the Majestic Cinema was a large area where there was the evening's Pasar Malam selling tons of vinyl records and other fancy but inexpensive goods.
