Forbidden Beat by S. W. Lauden

Whether they're self-taught bashers or technical wizards, drummers are the thrashing, crashing heart of our favorite punk bands. In Forbidden Beat, some of today's most respected writers and musicians explore the history of punk percussion with personal essays, interviews and lists featuring their favorite players and biggest influences. From sixties garage rock and proto-punk to seventies New York and London, eighties hardcore and D-beat to nineties pop punk and beyond, Forbidden Beat is an uptempo ode to six decades of punk rock drumming.
