This is my submission for the 2018 Hit Like a Girl Contest. My name is AP Tobler and I’m 12 years old from San Jose, CA. My Hit Like a Girl entry is a mashup of skills from my rock and jazz education. I play classic big band swing, transition to progressive metal, and then blend the two with more of a rock-style ending to a big band song. Hope you all enjoy!

Equipment:
Tama Starclassic B/B 4 piece kit
