What Planet Drum have to say;
After meeting Joanne via LinkdIn and exchainging with her many incredible musical ideas, we decided to start a cooperation that would lead us in creating this blog. An opportunity that will hopefully and definitelly open the doors of the British drummer's community to our magazine and, on the other side, will give Joanne notority among the Italian drummers.
Jo Jo Ruocco, who grew up in New Jersey, started as a percussionist at a really early age: 13 to be precise, drumming with Jazz giant Duke Ellington! She went on to provide drummery for Chuck Berry at the age of 16, then went on to play with Bobby Womack, Billy Ocean, Ronnie Wood, The Style Council, amongst many others! We hear about her great career, and her tastes in music across the decades.
