Rosie Slater from New York City plays drums for all-girl electronic power trio New Myths.
Growing up in a house full of studio musicians, Rosie started playing the drums when she was nine years old.
She has been playing with 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Darlene Love, New Myths, Supercute!, Lesley Gore, and others.
For the past three years Rosie Slater has been the percussionist with Darlene Love. More recently, she had the opportunity to play percussion in the house band (with Liberty DeVitto on drums) for the 2013 Little Kids Rock Right to Rock benefit concert. The show featured Steven Van Zandt, Brian Wilson, Elvis Costello, and Bill Medley, with Darlene Love leading the show. Rosie's setup included timpani, congas, bongos, and loads of hand percussion. And getting to play the Beach Boys' song God Only Knows with Brian Wilson was a dream come true.
Rosie's two all-time drum heroes are Dave Grohl and Max Roach. In high school, Rosie's band recorded an EP with Omar Hakim as producer: "Tracking drums with Omar was amazing and a great lesson in choosing what is right for the song."
