Rosana Miho of LoveBites formerly of Destrose. When Destrose broke up she put her vision in motion based on 80's heavy metal and with her former Destrose drummer Haruna formed Lovebites. Point being she is the bandleader. Doesn't take the spotlight but full props to creating the band.
If your granddaughter is not a tall person nobody in this band is over 5' 2", That huge drum sound is coming from a lady who is 4' 9"








Destrose era.

 
In my world (church music), Jihea Oh is the bassist for Hillsong - one of, if not the biggest in the genre. She’s 5’2” or something, plays a full scale bass (it looks HUGE on her), but none of that deters her from being great.

James Jamerson was a great bassist because he worked at it. Being good at bass has nothing to do with gender. You need some talent, interest, and a whole lot of practice.
 
Another nod for Alejandra of The Warning. Best thing from Mexico since the food. This video the bass is so gnarly and huge especially when the guitar solos around 3:30. I love that tone she is getting. Makes me want a Spector.

She is this good at just 16 for Pete's sake.



Been following them for several years. I really want to see them live. They were awesome then, and have grown musically a lot.

What about Widi Rahmawati from Indonesia? I'm not into metal at all, but can't stop listening to them sometimes:


But let us not forget the offspring - She seems to be really into it and loving it, not forced by idiotic parents to become their "wonder child" - and everyone playing a daphne blue bass must be great! She is 8 years old making even the shortscale Musicman look big.

Thank you for both of these.
