About the drummer

Joey Kramer is the driving rhythmic force behind Aerosmith, helping define the sound of American hard rock. He coined the term "Aero-force" to describe the band's signature power and blues-rock swing. He is a primary study for anyone learning drums with an interest in rock history and groove.

Drummer style

His style blends heavy-hitting rock power with a subtle funk influence, creating a unique "swing" that is hard to replicate. Playing drums in his style requires a strong snare hit and the ability to play with a "laid-back" but powerful feel. His tracks are staples in drum lessons and remain evergreen favorites for drum covers.
