[uxhytunj] Female drummers and bass players

Is the dearth of female drummers and bass players in bands (in contrast to singers) caused by the same mechanism as the lack of female engineers and other STEM?  What is the underlying mechanism?

My first guess was that they both tend not to be spotlit workers.  But accompanist pianists I think tend to be female.  As are support staff like secretaries.
