Summary:
Viola took to the road with her family orchestra, learned from the greats, formed her own band in the face of discrimination and ridicule, mastered twelve- and seventeen-piece drum kits, and played so fast she left no room for doubt: women could not only keep the beat-they could beat the odds.
