Cuatro millones de golpes

The unusual story of the best Spanish drummer of all time, and his group, Los Planetas, told for the first time from within the band.When I was six years old, my father pointed a gun at me. I don't even remember his name. At ten I joined the Falange because I wanted to play the drum. My biggest musical influences have been Holy Week and my first host, the one they gave me at birth, perhaps the most artistic and the least painful. I married sixteen. Later I started using drugs to escape. He should have died before thirty. During these forty years I have hit the drums as life has hit me, with all its might. But I swear this is not a sad book. I promise you that when you read it you will laugh and love the music almost as much as I do.
