Hello all !
My name is Jolene, I’m 8 years old. I live in Tahiti, French Polynesia, and I love music.
I started drumming 10 months ago, just after my 7th birthday last year, my father teach me some songs, and I love that.
I just want to have fun, keep smiling and playing music I love.
Here is my last video, Chop Suey by System Of A Down, this song is so fun to play.
This is the 6th video I made, I learn by ear and I can’t read music yet, I have to learn.
I hope I can play one day Tower of power, Tool and Dirty loops songs, because I love these bands ! I will work for that !
I wish best luck to all other drummers girls, I love watching all of you, it’s so inspiring.
I hope you’ll enjoy my video.
Mauruuru (thank you in Tahitian)
