Who’s got the fastest hands in the west?
Let’s be honest…Emmanuelle Caplette would probably be quickest on the draw at a blazing sundown shootout. As one of those incredible rudimental drummers who also dominates on the drum kit (with serious amounts of energy and passion) she’s a drummer we’ve been hoping to coax out to the studio forever!
From launching her drumming journey at the age of 9 to becoming an award-winning performer with stints on The Late Show With Seth Meyers and at some of the world’s biggest drum festivals, Emmanuelle is a force to be reckoned with.
She gets right down to business in this performance video of “From The Satellite” by Damien Schmitt: a fast, upbeat tune she covered almost 10 years ago but decided to revisit with a fresh take.
Check out the drum & bass style licks and the double hi-hat/double snare action. But if you’re going to notice anything about Emmanuelle’s playing, it’s just how damn clean she is. Enjoy!
Emmanuelle Caplette kickstarted her incredible drumming career at the age of 9 by joining a drum and bugle corps. In the following years, she earned her stripes by winning various awards and competitions as a snare drummer, playing with various drum corps, and furthering her musical studies. Since then, Emmanuelle has found great success performing with artists such as Stephane Rousseau, Andy Summers and Circa Zero, as well as numerous TV appearances like the Jutra Awards, Broco Show, Belle Et Bum, the Late Show with Seth Meyers, and Sur Invitation Seulement. When it comes to the world of drums, drum festivals are like a second home to Emmanuelle, having performed on incredible stages like Montreal DrumFest and Frankfurt Musikmesse, just to name a select few.
