Called \u0091From The Riser, A Drummer\u0092s Perspective II\u0092 the book has been  three years in the making, features more drummers, more pages and even  better pictures than the first one. It celebrates the world of drumming  by taking you behind the scenes, showing you drummers doing what they do  best, playing live! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p> His Kickstarter project has just thirty days to raise the funds needed  to publish \u0093From The Riser: A Drummer\u0092s Perspective II\u0092. There are lots  of great ways you can be part of this project and even in the book! If  the funding target (\u00a312,000) is not raised before 8th March 2014, all  pledges will be cancelled and the publishing of the book will be  severely delayed. <\/p>\n<p> Already the author has photographed a hundred and seven drummers  including Stewart Copeland, Lars Ulrich, Taylor Hawkins, Travis Barker,  Tommy Lee, Billy Cobham, Ian Paice, Ginger Baker, Clem Burke, John  Blackwell, Kenny Aronoff, Zigaboo Modeliste, Jack DeJonette, Jojo Mayer,  Alex Acu\u0148a, Dave Weckl, Sheila E and Neil Peart who has also written  the book foreword. The new photos get you up close to the drumming  action at some of the most amazing rock concerts and festivals.<\/p>\n<p> David said \u0091Many of the musicians I have worked with over the years are  now using Kickstarter to raise funds for their music projects. When I  looked into it I realised this was a great way to speed up getting my  second book to market and sharing all these wonderful photographs with a  wider audience. By using Kickstarter I can spread the word quickly  online to people worldwide whilst also keeping them updated on the  projects status.\u0092<\/p>\n<p> The money raised will help bring this project to its conclusion. It will  help pay for the design, production and printing costs as well as the  redesign of the book website, shipping and storage. If the project is  successfully funded, David expects the book to be delivered late spring  2014.
