This month we delve into the genius of Cozy Powell. We look back at the Brit drumming icon’s career, from rock classics with Rainbow to solo superstardom. Cozy’s playing defined rock drumming, his sound was unmistakable and his solos unmissable. Eighteen after his passing, we celebrate the life of the music of the man who danced with the devil.

We have a packed features section this month. Brit drummer Paul Jones talks to us about performing live beats with drum’n’bass gurus Sigma, Steve Barney charts his incredible journey as a session star and Luke Holland shares advice for online domination.
