  • October 1983
    VOL. 7, NO. 10 Cover Photo by Rick Malkin FEATURES ALEX VAN HALEN Rock musicians are often accused of being more concerned with the rock 'n' roll lifestyle than with the music. That lifestyle is very much a part of Alex Van Halen's image, but underneath that image is a serious musician who has a lot to say about drums and drumming, and he says it here in this MD exclusive. by Robyn Flans 8 PHILLIP WILSON For a drummer to have played with such diverse groups as The Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band indicates that his musicianship is not limited in any way, and that is certainly true of Phillip Wilson, who has a knack for weaving seemingly contrasting influences together into one unique style. by Chip Stern 16 DRUMS AROUND THE WORLD Japan's Stomu Yamash'ta; England's Ronnie Verrell; Brazil's Ivan Conti; Canada's Steve Negus; Israel's Aron Kaminski; Den- mark's Alex Riel. 20 FRANK BEARD In this revealing interview, Frank Beard, the unpretentious, self-taught drummer for ZZ Top, discusses his career from his early emulations of '60s British rock bands, to his later involvement with a psychedelic group, and his present position as a member of the highly successful, Texas-based rock trio. by Susan Alexander 26 ROCK CHARTS COLUMNS "Lowdown In the Street" PROFILES 74 by James Morton ON THE MOVE Nelson Montana 30 ROCK PERSPECTIVES A Left-Handed Perspective REVIEWS EDUCATION by Robert Doyle 92 ON TRACK 94 CLUB SCENE STRICTLY TECHNIQUE PRINTED PAGE 96 Handling the Ups and Downs Triplets With Buzz Rolls 46 by Joe Morello by Rick Van Horn 100 NEWS COMPLETE PERCUSSIONIST UPDATE Junkanoo EQUIPMENT by Robyn Flans 110 by Neil M.

    1 Shameeg van Schalkwyk Title of the Cover Pic: Ballerina Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shameeg.vanschalkwyk Page https://www.facebook.com/Something-arty- 624910864200016 Bio: I've been doing art since primary school when I discovered it and I've never looked back ever since. I always challenged myself to do something better than what I've previously drawn or painted. Always setting high standards for myself in terms of art. What inspires me is the fact that nobody has ever taught me anything about art, so the drive to obtain my full potential by myself and my ability is the one and only thing going through my mind every time I pick up a pencil or a paintbrush. The denial and rejection in the past are my most biggest inspirations turning negative things into something positive. God has blessed me with an amazing gift that I've told myself to explore for the whole of my existence 2 bcoz we only live once. I'll rather struggle making living by doing what I love than to work and be unhappy bcoz its not meant for me. Bcoz to me my success is not what I have and what I've achieved no. My success is being able to do what I love every day until my last. And hopefully inspire someone else to believe in what their dreams are - and hard work towards it really pays off. Lol. And in addition to that, I'm 26 years old and I live with my parents who've been very supportive and I have one sibling sister.

OWIE was born in 1941, brought up in Little Rock, Arkansas, and bt Louis, Missouri, and began playing at the age of five. At sixteen he led a youth group in St. Louis and used to practice his trumpet by an open window in the hope that Louis Armstrong might pass by and discover him.

He played on r&b sessions for Chess Records and also helped to form BAG (Black Artists Group) and the Great Black Music Orchestra in St Louis. In 1996 he moved to Chicago, got involved with AACM, Association for the Advancement of Creative Music, and joined the band of saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell. In the later 1960s he and Mitchell were founder-members of the Art Ensemble Of Chicago, one of the key groups of the 1970s and '80s. In 1969 Bowie recorded with Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, Jimmy Lyons and Cecil Taylor, among others.
