In Rhythm Makers: The Legendary Drummers of Nashville in Their Own
Words, Tony Artimisi documents through extensive interviews the
work of some of the most influential drum kit players in popular
music today, opening a window onto one of the most vibrant music
scenes in modern American history. Telling their stories in their
own words, each legendary figure walks readers through the
realities of how musical opportunities arise in Nashville, how the
recording process has changed over time, what it is like to drum
behind some of the top artists in American music, and how one makes
it as a professional drummer. Artimisi's subjects together have
performed on literally thousands of recordings, from master
recordings to demos, jingles to sound-alikes. Having played behind
nearly everyone who passed through Nashville, from Dolly Parton and
Elton John to Glen Campbell and Johnny Mathis, Eddie Bayers Jr.
regales readers with stories of the many areas in the industry he
worked to build his legendary career. Master drummer Jerry Kroon,
whose credits include work with Ricky Skaggs, Willie Nelson, Merle
Haggard and numerous others, shares his secret for maintaining good
relationships with various personality types in music.
Percussionist extraordinaire Tom Roady, who has recorded with
Wilson Pickett, The Dixie Chicks, and Kenny Chesney-too name but a
few-offers insights into what makes a drummer in his recollection
of his career start. One of the most inventive instrumentalists,
Kenny Malone, who has worked with Waylon Jennings, Garth Brooks,
Johnny Cash and many more, discusses his own unique experiments in
drumming technique in order to maintain his creative edge. Finally,
Tommy Wells, whose career beginnings in Motown led him to
Nashville, where he drummed for Charley Pride, The Statler
Brothers, and The Charlie Daniels Band, offers a true insider's
perspective offering insights into how jingle and sound-alike
sessions operate, which can be a valuable part of the professional
sideman's work. This work is the ideal for readers interested in
the history of country music and the Nashville recording scene more
generally, record and music production, popular music, and drumming
as both art and profession.
