Via Ampontan, here is a mid-Eighties clip from Japanese avant-pop sensation Saeko Suzuki
She spends most of her time hammering on the marimbas, but stick around for when she gets behind a drumkit and starts wailing away.
As Ampontan says, "there’s a Zappa influence, but the music is also feminine with Asian touches, and all of it’s hers. If there are Western women doing anything like this, I haven’t heard of them."(well, Sheila E and Laurie Anderson could have collaborated to come up with something similar...)
