Chris Adler additionally has released a book dubbed 'The Making of Lamb of God New American Gospel: Drum Tablature, Short Stories and Reflections'. The book chronicles Lamb of God’s early days in more than 100 pages, including the drummer’s take on what led him to contemplate leaving the band years ago.

Explains Chris the idea behind his scheduled eleven his solo clinics:

"I’ve been to several drum clinics that I found, while they were certainly inspirational and instructional, a little boring and sterile. My experiences, when I talk to our fans, very rarely do people ask me about drum technique. More people are interested in stories from the road, when albums came out and stuff like that. That’s my everyday life when I’m with my friends, and that’s the type of atmosphere that I want to show. I’ll play a couple different tunes, and it’ll be a little technical, but I’m hoping to make it more interactive."
