Hi everyone! Welcome to Drum Channel! I’m Billy Amendola, and my guest Dan LeRoy, has written what I would say is the most definitive book on the history of the drum machine and its importance to songwriting and musicians, and how that sound became acceptable to become the music heard around the world.

In this segment, we’ll discuss his book “DANCING TO THE DRUM MACHINE“ (How Electronic Percussion Conquered The World).

Dan dug deep with research, and the results are astounding! The book includes everyone from the inventors to the builders to the engineers, producers, songwriters, and musicians who made it the most popular sound since the late 60s till today. I highly recommend this book in your music library.

Thanks everyone for listening, I appreciate you all very much for your support. Billy Amendola and I’ll see you next time.

Let’s welcome Dan LeRoy to Drum Channel. Enjoy!
