Tales From The Cymbal Bag - Historical and Hysterical memoirs of Lennie DiMuzio.

This is a Rare book that is now out of print. 


"What do Papa Jo Jones, Buddy Rich, Louis Bellson, Max Roach, Tony Williams, Steve Gadd, Peter Erskine, Neil Peart, Steve Smith, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dennis Chambers, and every other famous drummer have in common? The answer is Lennie DiMuzio. 

Whether it was at an opening night for Max Roach at the Blue Note, backstage with Roy Haynes at the Village Vanguard, serving as a pallbearer at Gene Krupa's funeral, holding Buddy's hand the night before he died, or helping scores of up-and-coming young drummers find their cymbal sound, Lennie was there as the ultimate 'insider's insider.' Lennie knows the world of percussion and those who have most influenced it better than anyone ... 

In Tales from the Cymbal Bag Lennie, along with his lifelong friend and industry stalwart Jim Coffin, give us all a rare glimpse into Lennie's remarkable life, as well as the lives of some of the greatest drummers the world has ever known. They also give us a true inside look at many of the key players that helped form the percussion industry we know today. In stories and vignettes that range from poignant to historical to often hysterical, Lennie and Jim let the reader into a world that most can only guess at."
