Description

Crash, Bang, Wallop! charts the development of drums and their effect on the UK rock and pop music scene, during the second half of the twentieth century.

A central thread running through the book is Ivor Arbiter's influence on the British drumming scene.

The book describes the various marques that he imported, marketed and, in three notable cases, created.

Descriptions and potted histories of some of the other key brands available over the period are provided, even where they were bitter competitors with Ivor's businesses. Bob's dual qualifications of having been a pro drummer since rock was born, plus having sold the things, has given him a unique insight into the development of the modern drum set.

Crash, Bang, Wallop! shares his knowledge and experiences in a highly readable package that even non-drummers will appreciate.

Enjoy the ride, seen through the eyes of a professional drummer with over 50 years on the stool, who has also retailed them, developed them and written about them.
