Legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff, who’s played with numerous music legends ranging from John Mellencamp, the Smashing Pumpkins, The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, John Fogarty to Lady Gaga released his autobiography Sex, Drums, Rock ‘n’ Roll! 

A four year project in the making, Aronoff, recounts how he first fell in love with drums and how he made his dream of becoming a rock drummer come true! 

Sex, Drums, Rock ‘n’ Roll! details Aronoff’s childhood in Indiana, his early inspirations, and his serious classical and jazz study, which gave him the ability to play anything. 

In his early twenties Aronoff auditioned for John Mellencamp. His work with Mellencamp put Aronoff at the top of the charts with such hits as “Hurt So Good,” “Little Pink Houses,” and “Jack And Diane” and paved the way for session and recording work with droves of artists including Melissa Etheridge, John Fogerty, Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks, Smashing Pumpkins, the BoDeans, Paul Westerberg, Celine Dion, Iggy Pop, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Alice Cooper, Brian Wilson, Meat Loaf, Joe Cocker, and countless others.

In addition to his work as a world-famous recording and touring drummer, Aronoff is a dedicated teacher and has shared his expertise with students all over the world, teaching clinics for Tama and Zildjian. 

The book features rare photos, testimonials, a chronology of live performances, a discography, and a foreword by Neil Peart.

Aronoff will hold a signing session tomorrow at Book Soup in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, CA.
