1950 - Joey Kramer from Aerosmith is born
Born on June 21, 1950, Joey Kramer became the drummer and a founding member of Aerosmith when the band formed in 1970. His hard-hitting grooves helped power classics like "Dream On", "Walk This Way", "Sweet Emotion", "Back in the Saddle", and "Love in an Elevator". Kramer's drumming provided the backbone for one of America's most successful rock bands, balancing power, swing, and feel without ever overplaying. Through decades of success, breakups, reunions, and enough backstage drama to fill several books, he remained an essential part of the Aerosmith sound.
