The surname of the drummer on AC/DC's 1976 album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is Rudd. Phil Rudd played drums on the album and was part of the lineup that helped establish AC/DC's classic early sound.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was AC/DC's third studio album and was originally released in Australia, New Zealand and Europe in 1976. The sessions took place mainly at Albert Studios in Sydney between late 1975 and 1976, with some work completed in London. Harry Vanda and George Young produced the record.
Rudd's steady, economical drumming became a defining part of AC/DC's rhythm section, particularly alongside bassist Mark Evans. The album's core lineup also included Bon Scott, Angus Young and Malcolm Young. A frequent source of confusion is AC/DC's constantly changing early personnel: several drummers appeared before Rudd joined, but Phil Rudd was the drummer credited on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and remained with the band through several key albums. He later returned for Ballbreaker in 1995.
