Part autobiography and personal memoir, Mickey Hart vividly accounts how, from the beginning of time, humanity has celebrated, buried the dead, gone to war, married and worshipped to the sound of drums, gongs, and rattles. In his conversations with the late Joseph Campbell, we see how the great mythologist encouraged Hart to pursue his quest to unlock the history and secrets of the drum - the instrument that has, since ancient times, taken humanity to the "edge of magic" and beyond.
More than just drumming for drummers
This excellent book takes you on a tour of human history into the origins of making sound as a form of self-expression. To truly understand the creativity of Grateful Dead music, it provides valuable insights into the formulation of music itself. How and why do we respond to the sounds we make using instruments -- stemming from the primordial sources of rhythm, movement and tonality.
