Description
Crash, Bang, Wallop! explores the evolution of drums in the UK rock and pop music scene from the 1950s to the Millennium. A key figure in this story is Ivor Arbiter, whose influence on British drumming is central to the book. Ivor Arbiter's businesses played a significant role in shaping the drumming scene, and the book delves into the various brands he imported, marketed, and created, including those of his competitors. The author, a professional drummer with over 50 years of experience, brings a unique perspective to the book. Having been a pro drummer since rock music was born, and having also sold and developed the drum sets he played, he shares his knowledge and experiences in a highly readable package. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of drums and their impact on the music scene. The book provides a detailed look at the development of the modern drum set, and is written in an engaging style that will appeal to both drummers and non-drummers alike.
