12 female drummers from the UK and US have added a twist to the classic Christmas track Little Drummer Boy by individually recording their own unique take-and produced Little Drummer Girl in support of mental health charity Tiny Changes and Action For Children.
The track has been arranged and co-ordinated by drummer Charlotte and producer Kerr from The Echo Lab Music Studios in Scotland.
The inspiration for this project came from Charlotte’s joint desire to raise awareness of the mental health issues that affect young musicians, while also raising the profile of female musicians – who generally don’t get the recognition or same spotlight as their male counterparts.
Charlotte said;
“We’ve been inspired to keep an eye on all of our young students and bands, from hearing about the loss of ‘Frightened Rabbit’ frontman, Scott Hutchison – who’s band inspired me to enter the music business. Scott was so honest in his song-writing and helped so many people through their own struggles. This has inspired us to continue his vision and help others that need support in any way we can, but especially supporting the charity that was set up in his name (TINY CHANGES).”
Little Drummer Girl -The Echo Lab is available for pre-order on Friday 13th November with full release on Friday 4th December and is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify.
