Tackling the history of race relations, global migration, and the changing tension between high and low culture, author Matt Brennan makes the case for the drum kit's role as one of the most transformative musical inventions of the modern era. \u003cem\u003eKick It\u003c\/em\u003e shows how the drum kit and drummers helped change modern music--and society as a whole--from the bottom up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatt Brennan\u003c\/strong\u003e is Reader in Popular Music at the University of Glasgow.
