Book description
Never have so many famous drummers been gathered together in one
place! Drummer and writer Spike Webb has spent more than three years
meeting fellow drummers in bars, clubs and cafes, shooting the breeze
for a couple of hours and extracting anecdote after anecdote for
posterity. This is truly a labour of love - and somebody had to do it.
In this book you'll meet drummers like Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), Don
Powell (Slade), Adam Facek (Babyshambles), Steve White (Paul Weller),
Topper Headon (The Clash), Woody (Madness) and world-class session
players like Toto's drummer Simon Phillips. Sometimes hilarious,
sometimes poignant but always entertaining, it's the ultimate insight
into what it really means to be a drummer and an explanation, at last,
for what really makes someone do a 20-minute solo. You'll be asking
for an encore!
