"I sat down to read Daniel Glass's 'The Ultimate History of Rock & Roll Drumming' in an airport last week intending to skim through it and read it more thoroughly later. Instead, I found I couldn't put it down! Daniel has managed to make history interesting and fast paced . The incredibly large sampling of drummers that have contributed to the growth of rock'n'roll is presented in such a way that makes this a riveting read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's ever wondered where a particular sub-genre of rock originated."

JOHN M. ALDRIDGE
Editor, Not So Modern Drummer Magazine

"Just finished the book today! Great body of info...The examples are fantastic and I want to download the songs I haven't heard. You are an engaging writer. I gave the book to my drumming buddy in Boston- had to pass it on... Actually, I would like to buy a few books for more drumming buds."

MARK SCHULMAN

“This is a great walk through 52 years of rock and roll drumming. Daniel shows a real working knowledge of who’s who in the rock drumming world.”

TONY BRAUNAGEL

"The Ultimate History of Rock 'n' Roll Drumming by Daniel Glass is an instant addition to my course curriculum. Daniel's well-researched and much-needed text comes alive with the passion he has for the subject, outlining drumset artistry from the post-World War II era to the beginning of the 21st Century. It is a gift for helping future generations of drummers to understand their roots. Thank you Daniel!"

"Daniel Glass knows the history of rock'n'roll drumming and is an excellent author - an unbeatable combination for writing a book. Comprehensive, factual and easy to read - all make this history a must for the afficionado of rock drumming."

JOHN H. BECK
Professor of Percussion, Eastman School of Music

"A great in-depth read, and not just from a drumming standpoint either. This is basically the history of rock and roll... period. I found it very easy to read and i really enjoyed the fact that the book is not cluttered with drum notation.

The two men that have to be standouts for me are Earl Palmer and Hal Blaine. We have all heard them and have read about them in Modern Drummer, etc, but to be honest, your book hammered home to me just how important they were in shaping not just drumming, but modern music as we know it!"

DAVID SLEISHMAN
Sleishman Drum Company, Sydney Australia

"I very much enjoyed your Rock and Roll book - couldn't put it down, actually! It was an easy read - you write very clearly and cohesively. Not only did I learn or confirm much about R'n'R history, I'm sure I'm going to play it differently as well! Good luck to you."

""The best part of a book like yours is that it gives credit to the 'unsung' heroes of rock drumming. As kids, we all listened to - and learned from - the records, but alot of the time we didn't know who we were listening to. Your book helps to identify these great contributors. I look forward to reading some of your other publications."
