Your book breathes life into the acoustic drum. I could hear the snare pops, the press rolls and the triplets along with the cold steel feel of a beautiful cymbal on each and every page. The homage and respect given all of the ladies and gentlemen that supply "the foundation" is not offered unjustly. The entire book was no less than a complete joy. Thank you so much, Modern Drummer. -Mici St*r

A very cool starter guide for any drummer enthusiast not up to par on the drummer legends!
It is a bit lacking here and there with drummer history! Hence...”starter guide!”

Bought the book as a gift for drummer in my family. He was happy to receive it and had heard of the book before. Liked the history and story’s on the different drummers. The pictures are easy for even myself a non drummer to enjoy. Really happy with my purchase as it was received so well and once he had a chance to get through the whole book, thanked me again for the awesome gift.

After sending out an expensive book in only a plastic bag upon return they want to charge me 15% handling fee. People like this should not allowed to use Amazon
