Voting Is Now Closed. Finalists announced April 2.
I started drumming a short 2 1/2 years ago. I grew up watching my older sister tearing it up on the drums and she is a huge inspiration to me. I am basically self taught and always looking to improve and grow as an artist.
I am a real estate agent by day and a drummer by night! I am also furthering my education at a local community college. I have also recently had the privilege of teaching middle school girls how to play drums and sing.
I belong to a duo out of Bennington, Vermont called Immune Friction. Our music is best described as a mix of indie rock/punk/grunge/folk/noise and you've probably never heard anything like us before!
My favorite drummers are Keith Moon, Neil Peart, Nicko McBrain, John Bonham, Mick Avory, and John Densmore.
I love thrift shopping, eating lasagna, and hanging out with my four cats. Basically, I'm pretty cool.
I hope you enjoy my video and have as much fun watching it as I did making it! -Justine <3

You can do it!!!
Champine 02/18/2013 at 8:05 AM
Dave Davies of The Kinks just voted for me. Is this real life?
Justine 02/18/2013 at 8:37 AM
This chick will not only kick your sorry ass, but have you yelling her name and begging for more, like a little girl. You’d be dumb not to vote for this girl. Plus, you don’t need her kicking your ass.
H Kalanee 02/18/2013 at 9:49 AM
HAHAHAHA
Thanks, H!
Justine 02/18/2013 at 9:52 AM
Thanks for dropping by, Justine! I love watching you play—you’re clearly having the time of your life! I look more serious than usual in my video
Love that we both have professional day jobs and are drummers ‘by night’—do your coworkers seem surprised when you tell them you’re a drummer as well? Best of luck! 
Sam Landa 02/18/2013 at 12:35 PM
Thank you! I do have a great time playing and that’s what it’s all about!
I think a lot of people are surprised that I’m a drummer. I don’t mind because I love breaking the mold!
I know you will go far!
Justine 02/18/2013 at 12:38 PM
Yay Justine!! Great job!! good luck :D
Chelsea Crawford 02/18/2013 at 7:21 PM
Ok…I’ve watched your video again, as I’m doing with all entries. Yours…well, um…you know..well…YOU HIT LIKE A GIRL…and ...well…I really think… have I got you going yet… I like your video and YES I have voted for you!, lol. I think your really good. Thanks for letting me be part of this! As I have said before your good and funny. Or both! Jim
Jim Slattery,from North Carolina 02/18/2013 at 7:34 PM
Justine, I voted for you because you have obvious advanced knowledge of percussion, your way of “playing the drums” is more than intuitive, and besides, you have a great stage presence, that I am sure lights up the audience! Best wishes and hope you win the contest! Tom Abdow
Tom Abdow 02/19/2013 at 6:43 AM
Love yah, Justine ! Keep rockin’ ! We rock !
Alexey 02/19/2013 at 6:27 PM
Thank you for all of your kind messages and fantastic support! Remember to come back and vote daily. If you can’t vote the next day, make sure to clear your web browser cookies/history and try again! Thanks again and you rock! -Justine
Justine 02/20/2013 at 12:22 PM
You go girl friend rock their socks clean off their feet!
Nancy Estes 02/21/2013 at 5:30 PM
I like your style and the fact that the “real you” seems to come out in the video. Most of the other contestants are kind of sober and try to “be cool” in theirs. You, on the other hand, do not need to do that, your personality comes through and your performance does not look “forced”. You are also gorgeous…that helps too. Can I recommend online drum videos by JoJo Mayer and Jared Falk to you? I don’t say that cause you need their instruction necessarily, but because it has helped me quite a bit right now…and this is 15 years of drumming talkin’. Keep drumming!
David 02/21/2013 at 10:26 PM
Hi Justine,
You are seriously rockin’! And you’re funny!
(I mean that as a compliment.) Sounding great!
