Russ Kunkel

In the early 1980’s, Max Weinberg and I were working on a book that, unfortunately, never happened. But along the way, Max and I had a handful of interesting interviews with drummers.

When we asked if he could pinpoint the key to his success as a drummer, Russ Kunkel said it was because when he decided to be a pro drummer, “The only thing I had to fall back on was my ass.”
