Sam has played more gigs with more bands, taught more students (including many well-known celebrities), developed more new drumming concepts and techniques, written more drumming books, and had more fun in the process than any other drummer, dead or alive!

Sam has recently published the long-awaited book describing his philosophy of life, developed over eight decades, including sixty-five years as a professional drummer and drum teacher. Please see details of his new book, I Love What I Do! A Drummer's Philosophy of Life at Eighty.
