Aerosmith drummer joey kramer

Clocking up almost 50 years with the same band is no mean feat. When said band is one as turbulent as Aerosmith, the achievement becomes all the more incredible. But, that is the milestone that is coming into view for Joey Kramer. As the band limbers up for the first dates of their Aero-Vederci Baby world tour this summer, Kramer has been behind the kit for the Boston bad boys for 47 years and counting.

Since then, the band has been through the wringer. Drink and drugs almost tore them apart in the s and 80s.

Bassist Tom Hamilton has beaten cancer not once, but twice. And Kramer himself has faced his own demons, battling depression in But somehow, each and every time the band has come back stronger than ever before. These boys always land on their feet. I was a big Pretty Purdie fan.

I have heavy rhythm and blues influences and that is what I bring to the table with Aerosmith. Kramer has more than played his part in amassing this enviable catalogue. When we speak with Kramer, he is preparing for a run of European farewell shows with the band, including what is billed as their final-ever UK performance at the Download Festival in June.

However, with the rest of the world still to come we think he has a good chance of making it into that 50th year with the band. It turned out to be Steven and the rest is pretty much history. My favourite rock and roll drummers were guys like Mitch Mitchell and, of course, Bonzo.
