In "A Drummers Ethos," I embrace our community by asking over fifty of my brilliant musician friends their perspectives on drumming. Throughout the book I reflect on some of my drumming heroes that I deem as "outsiders," researching volumes of books and philosophies--both ancient and modern--to gather quotes, mantras, and inspirational words à la "The Stoic Drummer." Upon the cover and peppered throughout its pages are poetic illustrations by one of my favorite artists, John Herndon.

With Grace and Respect,
José
