Drum Sheet – Mademoiselle K – Ça Me Vexe

“Ça me vexe” is more than just a French rock track — it’s a declaration of sonic and emotional independence, driven by the raw energy of Mademoiselle K.
Released in 2006 on the album of the same name, the song quickly became a generational anthem for youth seeking authenticity and rebellion.

Katerine Gierak, aka Mademoiselle K, wrote “Ça me vexe” in a moment of personal struggle.
At the time, she was struggling to find a record label willing to believe in her project.
That sense of injustice and rejection fueled the writing of the song, which became a direct response to those who doubted her.
The lyrics, sharp and unapologetic, convey that bottled-up anger: “It offends me that you don’t see what I’m worth.”

For fans of drums, “Ça me vexe” is a real gem.
The drumming — dry, punchy, and unrelenting — perfectly matches the song’s growing tension.
Snare hits crack like slaps to the face, while the toms add a rhythmic depth that carries Mademoiselle K’s voice.
The choice of a stripped-down but expressive drum pattern amplifies the emotional impact of the track, showcasing the artist’s sincerity and vulnerability.

Since its release, “Ça me vexe” has become a staple of Mademoiselle K’s live shows.
She’s performed it on many stages, including a standout appearance at the Vieilles Charrues Festival in 2023, where the intensity of the performance left a lasting impression.
Other notable gigs include concerts in Sucy-en-Brie (November 2023) and La Citrouille in Saint-Brieuc (2017).
Each time, the drums take center stage, capturing the very soul of the song and drawing the crowd into a kind of collective trance.

“Ça me vexe” is a piece where the drums don’t just support the track — they speak, they feel, they pulse.
For percussion lovers, it’s a lesson in expressive minimalism, where every hit matters and contributes to the soul of the music.
