I love the joy and sense of humor Rob combines with a lucid sense of ethnomusicology to his work. (I've had him work on some of my still-unreleased poetry projects, too) He's translated these talents into two books on professional gigging for drummers. His latest book is "Drummer A-Z: MORE Stuff You Can Use." I had the pleasure of interviewing him.
