In this Roots themed issue of Tom Tom we explore drummer's roots and Roots music. We asked some of our favorite drummers to tell us where they got their starts and how they have grown. El-P interviewed Carla Azar of Autolux, we talked to The Voices' drummer Gisella Giurfa, Ty Braxton's percussionist Yuri Yamashita and included a Drummer's guide to Philly. Enjoy!
