Tucker's style of playing was unusual: she played standing up, rather than seated, using a simplified drum kit of tom toms, a snare drum and an upturned bass drum, playing with mallets rather than drumsticks and rarely using cymbals.

At the time when she was asked to join the Velvet Underground, Tucker was working for IBM as a computer programmer.
The band's original percussionist, Angus Maclise, had left in November 1965 because he refused to play before a paying audience, and Tucker was drafted in because Velvets guitarist Sterling Morrison remembered the kid sister of one of his college friends played the drums.
Because of her pregnancy, Tucker could not play on what turned out to be the band's last studio album with Lou Reed, Loaded.

  Maureen Tucker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maureen Ann "Moe" Tucker (born August 26, 1944, in New Jersey, United States) is best known for having been the drummer for the rock group The Velvet Underground.
Tucker's style of playing was unusual: she played standing up, rather than seated, using a simplified drum kit of tom toms, a snare drum and an upturned bass drum, using mallets rather than drumsticks, and she rarely used cymbals.
In the early days, Tucker would also occasionally play the bass guitar during live gigs; the only released song that features her playing bass is a recording of "Melody Laughter" included on the 1995 box set Peel Slowly and See.

Tucker will be remembered for his strength of will, his fighting spirit, his love of family, friends and a good glass of wine.
Tucker will be remembered by many friends for the times he would smile and announce it was time for a "Tucker flight" to Monterey for lunch or to Mexico for a margarita.

I had the chance to see Moe Tucker play many times with The Velvet Underground from 1967 to 1970.
For those who were hypnotized by their sound she was one of the head hypnotists.
And for those of us who loved the sound of that band this drum style was much a signature of the Velvets as was any other of their sounds.

Her blank, innocent voice and dumb-dumb, one-shot drum style are turn to advantage on a DIY platter that mixes variations of early R&R motifs ('Bo Diddley', 'Louie Louie', Slippin' And Slidin'') with Dylan and a weird stab at Vivaldi.
Moe Tucker's songs could be lazily described as being 'cult minimalist', naive nursery rhymes for grown-ups to hum to themselves as they bravely face up to the dreaded mid-life crisis and their impeding death.
Moe Tucker is the ultimate housewife superstar, abandoning the hoover forever in order to pick up her guitar and moan humorously and pointedly about her fate, while keeping an eagle eye open for the nearest escape route.

After the demise of the Velvets, Tucker lived in relative obscurity in Douglas, GA, raising her children and working for minimum wage at a Wal-Mart -- salient points that form the thematic basis of her solo career.
These were proud, pissed-off songs that found a home on the wonderfully idiosyncratic indie label 50 Skidillion Watts, principally owned by Velvets fan Penn Jillette (of the comedy/magic duo Penn and Teller), who gave Tucker a regular outlet for her music.
Occasionally, Tucker has had to return to the underpaying world of nine-to-five to supplement her rock & roll income, but as she released more records, her popularity in alternative rock circles has grown (especially in Europe) to the point where she can make a living as a full-time musician.

 TrouserPress.com :: Maureen (Moe) Tucker
Unlike her more accomplished and ambitious fellow pioneers in the Velvet Underground, drummer Maureen (Moe) Tucker never became an international rock star or a distinguished new music composer.
Tucker subsequently hooked up with a label run by rich'n'famous rock dilettante Penn Jillette and Florida's hardworking Velvet Underground Appreciation Society and discovered a kindred and supportive spirit in minimalist/naïve rock titan Jad Fair.
The thoroughly competent-sounding I Spent a Week There the Other Night brings Tucker into her own as a songwriter: other than a subdued version of "Waiting for the Man" and a rocking "Then He Kissed Me," the plain-spoken testimonials to normalcy (and Native Americans) are all hers.

Their music was generally much more relaxed than it would later become: Cale described this era as reminiscent of beatnik poetry, with MacLise playing gentle "pitter and patter rhythms behind the drone." MacLise left the group in protest of what he considered commercialisation of their sound.
He was replaced by Maureen 'Mo' Tucker, whose driving rhythms became an essential part of the group's music.
Lou Reed and John Cale, in the meantime, enjoyed long and winded solo careers; Maureen Tucker raised a family before returning to small-scale gigging and recording in the 1980s.
