The Greatest Drummers of All Time

Earl Young

This guy was in a few bands, did a couple of Blue Note Recordings, backed some big acts, but his greatest contribution was… Inventing disco. Earl Young was the first drummer to kick on all 4 beats of a measure and improvise over it and brought it to dance halls. Drummers started catching on and eventually, one of the greatest revolutions in house music began. As long as Earl Young is still alive, disco will never die.

The More You Know

Alice Cooper is an avid golfer and credits the sport to "saving him from his demons".
Chuck Berry, the Godfather of Rock ‘n’ Roll, originally only performed music to buy photography equipment to support his aspirations of becoming a professional photographer.

Guns N Roses wrote "Sweet Child O’ Mine" in five minutes.
