Every so often, I play "Hollywood" for my 19-y-o, and I tell him to listen the drumming of the 16-year-old girl.

And every time (except the first), he's like, "Dad, you play this so many times, and you always say the same thing!"

Yup.

The Runaways, "Queens of Noise" (1977, live in Tokyo)

17-y-o Sandy West (1959~2006) on drums at the time of the concert, but 16 when recording the track in the studio.

Hit those drums as if you mean it: the "Carlo Little" school of drumming.

Listen to Sandy West of the Runaways hit those things on "Hollywood". (Joan Jett on vocals.)

She was 17 at the time of recording, and was later recognized as a "pioneering rock drummer".

"Hey Foxy! C'mere!!"
