Monte Mallin on THE BIRTH OF THE BACKBEAT!
Hello friends, and welcome to a special thanksgiving-day episode! Little surprise here for ya - decided to talk about something interesting and important to me - the birth of rock and roll drumming!
Have some fun listening to how the backbeat - the basis of rock and roll drumming - came about. Lots of great music here...and get to know Earl Palmer (pictured), DJ Fontana, Clifton James, and many other greats who developed the feel and sound of early rock drumming. I had a lot of fun putting this episode together, and I hope you have a lot of fun listening!
And here's a playlist of full versions of all the songs played in the episode, plus a few others. Enjoy!
Don't forget to get to I-Tunes and leave a nice review, tell your friends about the show, and have a great thanksgiving! See you soon and enjoy!

A wonderful one with Monte as guest star 😉 I wanted it to be much longer 😢 I don't know this rock'n'roll era a lot and I want someone to explain as you did. Thanks Monte 😊
