"If 'sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll' is what you want, it's what you'll get in these photo-laden pages. Kramer's style is honest, straightforward and pulls no punches."
-- Publishers Weekly

Cash meets The Heroin Diaries in Hit Hard: Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer's moving and inspiring story of fighting personal demons, as well as a wildly glamorous, crazy, drug-addled, behind-the-drum-set look at one of the greatest bands in rock n' roll history. From never-before-told Aerosmith war stories across their entire 40 year career to Joey's own struggles with addiction and depression, Hit Hard is only the second authorized biography of the band--following the New York Times bestseller Walk This Way--and the first autobiography from any Aerosmith band member.

Joey Kramer is the legendary drummer with the most successful band in American history--Aerosmith. Since 1970 he and his partners have sold over 150 million albums, and today their multigenerational, global audience is bigger than ever. In addition to the Grammys and the twenty-one multiplatinum albums, Aerosmith was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and they are the subject of several documentaries, including a film dedicated to Joey and his lasting influence, called It's About Time. Joey lives south of Boston, Massachusetts.
