Bought this for my fiancé who is very into drumming. He didn't recognize a lot of the names, but my dad (also a drummer) did and thought the book was great. Probably a better read for baby boomer era drummers.
Max Weinberg Rocks!

I bought this book after seeing Max live in 1986 with the legendary Dirty Bones Band, a New England cult rock and roll band that used to play all the time at my university. He talked about his favorite drummers, then demonstrated their styles with the band. Even though I don't play (I am not a musician) I really enjoyed reading about some of Rock's great drummers including Ringo and Levon Helm. Buy the book
