The drum kit has provided the pulse of popular music from before
the dawn of jazz up to the present day pop charts. Kick It, a
provocative social history of the instrument, looks closely at key
innovators in the development of the drum kit: inventors and
manufacturers like the Ludwig and Zildjian dynasties, jazz icons
like Gene Krupa and Max Roach, rock stars from Ringo Starr to Keith
Moon, and popular artists who haven't always got their dues as
drummers, such as Karen Carpenter and J Dilla. Tackling the history
of race relations, global migration, and the changing tension
between high and low culture, author Matt Brennan makes the case
for the drum kit's role as one of the most transformative musical
inventions of the modern era. Kick It shows how the drum kit and
drummers helped change modern music-and society as a whole-from the
bottom up.
