Drum, Cabin, First

Barbara’s parents tried to be supportive by allowing a drum kit into the house. Within a week, the drums were relegated to the basement.

Each day, Barbara practiced, inspired by her hero, Neil Peart. Each day, she got a little better.

That first kit is still in her parent’s basement and gets played when she visits. Her professional kit fills a cabin on Gull Island, with just enough space to cook and sleep.

Barbara is a session drummer whose list of credits is massive, including Rush covers.

But her parents still can’t listen to her work without earplugs.
