Monika Fikerle is an Australian musician and multi-instrumentalist, most noted for her "energetic, quirky"[1] drumming style.
Fikerle began her music career in Hobart in 1994, becoming Sea Scouts' drummer after having taken up the drums 'about a week' earlier.
Fikerle's drumming style during her early years in Hobart featured a lot of tom work, and used cymbals only to accent the end of the bar, creating a thunderous wall of tribal pounding.
[8] Fikerle has also toured internationally with several of the bands that she has contributed to, including Sea Scouts,[9] Baseball, and Love of Diagrams.
The tours have encompassed several locations that are not widely visited by Australian bands, such as Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
