10 Past Hit Like A Girl Champions To Compete In “Challenge Of Champions”

 

Hit Like A Girl is proud to announce “Challenge Of Champions”— an exclusive, new, online event that will pit the ten past Champions of the female drumming contest against one another under a specific set of rules.  For example, the players will all be required to use the same, basic drumset configuration with no electronics or double pedals and they will all be expected to produce a performance video using the same backing track.

 

“The ‘Challenge’ track was commissioned by Hit Like A Girl and Beats By Girlz and composed by leading finger-drummer and beatmaker, Gnarly,” explains project manager Megan Spencer. “The track and the other restrictions are intended to make the ‘Challenge’ even more challenging for 10 players who are already recognized as being among the best drummers in the world.”

 

“Challenge Of Champions” drummers include:
De’Arcus Curry (2012)
Val Sepulveda (2013)
Riesha Fayson (2014)
Lindsay Artkop (2015)
Helen de la Rosa (2016)
Helly (2017)
Calsey Tory (2018)
Amanda Dal (2019)
Liza Chepkovskaya (2020)
Wiktoria Bialic (2021)


Hit Like A Girl will post the videos for public viewing throughout the competition and plans to live stream the judging phase at the end of the contest. Information about “Challenge Of Champions” judges, prizes and dates is pending and will be released as it is confirmed.
