Prog!

We're up to our eyeballs in features this month, including our giant cover feature on the pioneers of prog – Peart, Palmer, Bruford and more have their say on the birth of the monster that is prog. Plus, we look at the modern masters, from US hotshots like Brann Dailor and Jon Theodore to UK talent such as Craig Blundell and Gavin Harrison.

We also look back at the highlights (and there have been plenty of them) from 30 years of Rhythm as we cast a misty eye back at the cover stars, gear, fashions and scandals of three decades as the magazine of choice for the world's top drumming talent.

Want more? We also have brand new interviews with Benny Greb, Gabe Barham, Bill Rieflin, Ronnie Vannucci and a video exclusive from Anika Nilles and Kaz Rodriguez.
