DESCRIPTION:
From his early classical studies to competing with other drummers for work, he never gives up, always pushing himself to practice harder and do better. He's blunt and honest about his own shortcomings, and about applying the same effort to improving his family life as he does to his drumming. Aronoff tries to portray personality conflicts fairly and from all sides, and his technique of including brief comments by the people in question is highly effective. Kenny Aronoff shares his inspirational, cautionary, and captivating story of reaching the highest levels
Both a leader and a team player in the mission to realize a greater good - an unforgettable recording, a riveting show - Aronoff brings it every time. Sex, Drums, Rock 'n' Roll! details Aronoff's youth in the Berkshires and the Midwest, from his early inspirations to his serious classical and jazz study, which gave him the foundation to be able to play - anything. But none of this would have been possible without his fierce work ethic and unique approach to drumming-an integration of all parts of his being, along with meticulous attention to note-for-note detail, feel, and what the song needs. The failure of a first rock band in his early twenties had a silver lining: it freed him up for an audition that would change his life - John Mellencamp. Featuring rare photos, testimonials from major artists and from those who know him best, a chronology of live performances, a discography, and a foreword by Neil Peart, this book is the story of one of the greatest musicians of all time.. Heading into his fourth decade of rocking hard, Aronoff shows no signs of slowing down. In addition to his work as a world-famous recording and touring drummer, Aronoff finds time to be a dedicated teacher and has shared his expertise with students all over the world, teaching clinics for Tama and Zildjian.
