The Greatest Drummers of All Time

Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney)

A seriously powerful and catchy drummer, Janet Weiss was the third person added to the legendary alt-rock group Sleater-Kinney. Fronted by Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss led the band in rhythm, lending an ample platform for the leads, but remaining as aggressive as possible without sounding overzealous. Weiss has been active in Bright Eyes, the Shins, the Jicks, and many more groups. Weiss also works as a drum teacher for young women.
