"Carmine's Realistic Rock drum book was way ahead of its time. It was relevant when it came out in 1972 and is still relevant today, 50 years later. His book legitimized rock drumming and has influenced so many drummers all over the world, including John Bonham. I think it is the greatest rock drumming book ever written."
