Join Mindy Abovitz in-conversation with drummers and Forbidden Beat book contributors Lynn Perko Truell, Phanie Diaz, and Laura Neptuna as they discuss the many faces of punk drumming.

Whether they're self-taught bashers or technical wizards, drummers are the thrashing, crashing heart of our favorite punk bands. In Forbidden Beat, some of today's most respected writers and musicians explore the history of punk percussion with personal essays, interviews and lists featuring their favorite players and biggest influences. From 60s garage rock and proto-punk to 70s New York and London, 80s hardcore and D-beat to 90s pop punk and beyond, Forbidden Beat is an uptempo ode to six decades of punk rock drumming.
