Stella Mozgawa Is The Best Drummer In Los Angeles
After catching the Gorillaz show last night, I stopped by Hotel Cafe to check out Andy Clockwise. Andy rocked the joint, but drummer Stella Mozgawa proved once again that she is the best drummer in Los Angeles. In addition to playing with Clockwise, Stella recently became the fourth member of Warpaint. She has already taken the band to the next level with her sick drumming skills; Jenny Lee, Emily, and Theresa seem to feed off of her energy and enthusiasm.
Stella has been drumming since she was 13 and has shared the stage with Flea, Tom Morello, Perry Farrell, Josh Klinghoffer, and John Frusciante. Watch Stella work her magic with Warpaint at SXSW (down in front Jenny Lee).

Wait, Stella Mozgawa is also a drummer?!?
I only knew her as the backup singer in the English royalty rock act, Camilla Parker Bowles.
What a talented girl… She seems to really be going places.

I had the pleasure of touring with Stella (though in another band) earlier in 2009. Not only is she literally one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen live, but she’s one of the most down to earth, no nonsense, no bullshit human beings I’ve ever met in my life. It’s wonderful to see her receiving the attention she deserves!

One more thing- she doesn’t “rip for a chick”. She rips for a drummer. I know tons of male drummers who simply can’t touch Stella’s skill. Honestly, not even remotely close. She’s really that good.

Hey Darren and Hopko:
As the post states – “Best Drummer in LA” – male or female.

I saw Warpaint at CAMP in London last week and they were great. Stella completely stands out and raises the band’s game for sure. The collective is better and more dymanic with her in it. Ever since I saw her and Josh play with Flea and John, I have been looking forward to seeing her live. She did not disappoint. And yes, she is totally down to earth and cool. Great to see it’s all coming together for her!
