Hi! My name is Samantha Lubin and this is my second time entering the Hit Like a Girl Contest.

I entered last year with the song “CRUSH” which placed me 3rd in the UK territory. This year I am entering with a cover of the Incubus song “MAKE YOURSELF”, a song which really rings true to what I believe in and what I stand for as a drummer. I am currently based in London, regularly teaching as well as doing session work and functions. Since entering the contest last year, I have received two endorsements. The first was with London Drum Stick Company, and the second was with Primas Custom Drums (specifically as a snare drum endorsement). I am currently working on developing my online presence by pushing out regular content from my studio in North London. I’ll also be attending the UK drum show in early April as a Primas artist, which will be my first time at the show!

I’m really excited about the contest this year, and to see if I place any further in the competition. Last year the contest was excellent as a platform for me to showcase myself and get my name into the industry. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy my entry. Make sure you turn it up, loud.
