The Drum Thing Hardcover – November 15, 2016

It's a great coffee table book that gives you a peek into the lives of the least appreciated musicians. People don't get that it's the drummers who get you dancing. Their groove is what provides a song with its backbone. Seeing my favorite drummers (Brad Wilk, Dave Grohl) in print and learning about their experiences was so mindblowing. The quality of the photos is great too. I love it and I have given it as a gift to my friends (drummers and non-drummers alike) - they love it too!

I've been beating my brains out on drums for over sixty years. This is the best book I've ever read on the subject. I've known many of the feelings about drums and drumming for years but I'd never verbalized them. It was very good to see other drummers have the same thoughts.If you play, get this book.If you're thinking about laying down some filthy lucre for a set, read this book first to see if your mind is maladjusted enough to want to beat on things for a living.Old drummers never die, they just beat it out of town.

What a great collection of participants from virtually every era and every genre of music. Add superb photography to the equation and you have an outstanding book suitable for any coffee table. As a student of drumming myself, I learned a lot from each interview and am very mindful of such lessons when playing. All told, a high quality piece both visually and in content.

Great gift for a drummer and it was very well received! Super creative, great photos, and full of interesting writeups that non-drummers find interesting. I appreciated this shipper because it was cheaper than other listings, and the book was delivered before it's longest duration in the range, which was well before Christmas.

My son has been playing drums for 30 years and has many different drum books. I purchased this for his birthday and he really liked it.

Purchased as a gift and they love it. The book's photos are beautiful and it includes more text than I expected. It's a must have for drummers.

This Says It All!!!

Amazing book!Bought as a gift but really considering to get myself one.Pictures of the book are just the best.

Einfach schön! Sehr stimmungsvoll fotografiert - alles rund um Musik und Drums. EIN Buch das nicht im Regal steht, sondern immer bereit zum Blättern und Schauen.
