鼓手通常是所有乐队中最不知名的成员。然而，在每个主唱后面鼓手都是保持节奏的人，并且经常充当音乐的驱动力。在这些令人难以置信的肖像中，Deirdre O'Callaghan将鼓手摆在聚光灯下。她在拍摄对象的私人排练空间和住宅——从工作室，卧室，地下室到车库和花园——为他们拍摄照片，使她能够捕捉到他们个性和生活方式的真正精髓。她为这本书拍摄了近100位**音乐人，其中包括托尼•艾伦，姜贝克，特拉维斯•巴克，辛迪•布莱克曼，帕特里克•卡尼，特里•林恩•卡林顿，克里斯•戴夫，杰克•德约翰内特，布莱恩•德文多夫，斯莱•邓巴，史蒂夫•加德，詹姆斯•加德森，戴夫Grohl，Mark Guiliana，Steve Jordan，Jim Keltner，Airto Moreira，Larry Mullen Jr，Neil Peart，Questlove，Jim Sclavunos，Ringo Starr，Lars Ulrich，Joey Waronker和Jack White。每张图片均附有奥卡拉汉与鼓手的私人对话的摘录。

The drummer is usually the least well-known member of any band. Yet behind every frontman is the person keeping the beat, and often acting as the music's driving force. In these incredible portraits, Deirdre O'Callaghan places drummers squarely in the spotlight. Photographing her subjects in their private rehearsal spaces and residences - from studios, bedrooms and basements to garages and gardens - allows her to capture the true essence of their personalities and lifestyles. She has photographed almost 100 celebrated musicians for the book, including Tony Allen, Ginger Baker, Travis Barker, Cindy Blackman, Patrick Carney, Terri Lyne Carrington, Chris Dave, Jack DeJohnette, Bryan Devendorf, Sly Dunbar, Steve Gadd, James Gadson, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, Steve Jordan, Jim Keltner, Airto Moreira, Larry Mullen Jr, Neil Peart, Questlove, Jim Sclavunos, Ringo Starr, Lars Ulrich, Joey Waronker and Jack White. Each image is accompanied by excerpts from O'Callaghan's personal conversations with the drummers. The result is a fascinating look at a truly diverse world made up of men and women from every walk of life, united by a single, emphatic passion.
