“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.

I loved this book. I am a drummer and suffer with depression. I do not agree with the drug use and reckless living. I'm glad he got help and was able move past his addiction. Great stories to listen to. All the ups and downs.

This book was really interesting from the very first chapter. By being a drummer that was and is currently dealing with some of the same issues and with the same first name, there was not a chance I would miss this book and for me to never give it any thought when I heard that Joey Kramer had a book. I've been through this audio version for the 3rd time now. A must read or listen for anyone.

Highly recommend for anyone!

I’m a pro drummer. Audio engineer and producer that’s been lucky enough to have some success. Nothing like you but my HP has gifted me a life of music in spite of my character defects. I’m sober 16 yrs and find your story at a time when I can recognize outside mental and emotional issues that I now need to work on. Your story gives me the courage
Thank you

Thank you Joey

Would you listen to Hit Hard again? Why?

Yes, because I have been suffering from most of the same problems that Joey and millions of people suffer with.

What other book might you compare Hit Hard to and why?

While this is not a self-help book, it serves that purpose in a different way. So books describing Anxiety and Depression.

What does Holter Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I loved his easy going inflections and enthusiastic attitude.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Joey burst into tears...very moving. I feel his pain.

Joey bares his soul.

A very inspiring tale from one of my favorite drummers in one of my favorite bands

Moreover, this book speaks not only to Aerosmith and Joey Kramer fans, but also to anyone who's grown up in an abusive environment or struggle with mental health issues particularly depression.

loved it!
