Can girls play the drums?

Aiwen Voth, an 11-year-old student from Calgary, Alberta definitely thinks so.

We saw her on a GlobalTV news piece earlier this year talking about the annual Hit Like a Girl Contest, that she had entered. The international contest showcases the talent of female drummers around the world. Aiwen ultimately walked away with the 2023 Zultan Emerging Talents Award and The School of Rock scholarship through the contest.
