Proof that you should never judge a book by it’s cover. Check out this video of Dorothea Taylor playing drums on Disturbed’s “Down with the Sickness.”
Dorothea Taylor isn’t just a grandmother that randomly picked up sticks and suddenly became an expert. She’s a drum instructor and has been drumming her entire life. And she made this video for a reason.
At the beginning of the video, you see Dorothea go through a series of events where people presume she plays a string instrument, or the organ, or that their music is too loud. She made this video to show that drummers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and ethnicities. At the end of the video, Dorothea shares a few thoughts as to why she made the video.
“I’ve been drumming my whole life, and every one of these experiences has happened to me throughout my life. Drummers come in all ages, sizes, shapes, ethnicities. And regardless of how good you are, how old you are, we’re all still part of the drumming family. So remember, don’t judge a drummer — or anybody — by their looks. And always, always, always keep sharing your drumming passion to the world.”
