Different Drummers is a collection of interviews, literary reviews, poems, and short stories, with an emphasis on the interesting expatriates, music venues, and literature of Bangkok, Thailand and the region. There is an extensive chapter of noir and existential angst poetry by English poet, John Gartland. Subtitled Bangkok Beat Redux, the book is a second compendium of characters who have followed the beat of a different drum. The 31 Chapter book follows the critical success of Bangkok Beat released in 2015. Interviews and profiles include Colin Cotterill, Christopher G. Moore, John Burdett, Osborne, Joe Cummings, Kevin Wood, Tim Hallinan, Jim Algie, Peter Klashorst, Doug Stanhope, J.D. Villines and Hugh Gallagher among others. Readers will find the further history of the iconic Bangkok nightclub, Checkinn99. The extensive interview with John Gartland along with over 50 of his topical noir poems, including Bangkok Air, makes Different Drummers a unique reading experience to be enjoyed by anyone who has ever been to Southeast Asia or follows their own creative path.
