Meet The Hit Like A Girl 2023 Finalists!

This year, we were once again overwhelmed by the quantity, quality and diversity of Hit Like A Girl contestants. From youngest to oldest, beginner to advanced— and from every corner of the world— our beautiful community presented the greatest display of talent, passion and dedication ever seen. Every one of you who made the choice to participate should be proud because, to paraphrase one of our young contestants, as soon as you entered, you already won.

How we got here: All Hit Like A Girl entries receive an initial rating based on their drumming skills and presentation. Then, each week, the contestants ranked in the top 10 go through a second round of judging to determine the Weekly Winners. These entries, along with additional Wild Cards chosen by the Hit Like A Girl Directors, become finalists and are judged by our panel of leading international drum educators and artists.

Regional Winners and Special Award Recipients will be announced in the coming days.

HLAG 2023 Champions and Winners will be announced on May 15, 2023.
