Samantha Medina

Teacher/School: Greg Hipskind

What do you call a group of bands? A concert! It didn’t take a village to raise this drummer, it took a concert of great local bands that gave me the opportunity to learn and grow on their stages. It’s hard when you’re 13 to figure out what you like to play. If your any good at playing. So I want to say Thank You to the bands Second Chance, Grey Govenors, Impossible Wonder, Crunchy Tacos and QC Rock Academy. Every time we play I learn something new and I hope that never changes.
My favorite thing about drumming is when someone tells me I can’t do something. Hold my RootBeer buddy and watch me go. I work hard and love the surprise on people’s faces when I kill it. So Thank You all for watching my video of Everlong by the Foo Fighters. RIP Taylor Hawkins 1972-2022. Forever in the Music.
