    MODERN DRUMMER VOL. 8, NO. 12 Cover Photo by Layne Murdock CONTENTS FEATURES TERRY BOZZIO Although his work with such artists as Frank Zappa, the Brecker Brothers, and UK established Terry Bozzio's reputation as a fine drummer, his work with Missing Persons has revealed that there is more to Bozzio than was demonstrated in those other situations. Here, he talks about the hard work that went into starting his own band, explains his feelings that drummers should be more visible, and details his self-designed electronic drumset. by Rick Mattingly 8 OMAR HAKIM The fact that Weather Report and David Bowie have been sharing the same drummer says a lot about Omar Hakim's versatility, especially when one considers the wide range of styles that each of those situations encompasses. But Hakim's background prepared him well for the many diverse musical settings he has encountered, and he recounts that background in this amiable discussion of his life and career. by Robin Tolleson 14 INSIDE CALATO by Rick Van Horn 18 IAN PAICE The drummer for Deep Purple reminisces about the group's formation, discusses the band's reunion after an eight-year breakup, and describes Deep Purple's effect on today's music. He also talks about his experiences as the drummer for Whitesnake and Gary Moore, and explains the differences in playing with a guitar-oriented versus a vocal-oriented band. by Robyn Flans 22 TRISTAN FRY Modest Virtuoso by Simon Goodwin 26 DRIVER'S SEAT COLUMNS Phrasing With A Big Band PROFILES by Mark Hurley 112 PORTRAITS EDUCATION JAZZ DRUMMERS WORKSHOP Allen Herman New Concepts For Improved by Don Perman 30 THE MUSICAL DRUMMER Performance Chord Changes—Part 2 by Laura Metallo, Ph.D.

These new lugs hook onto bolts that at the shell’s nodal are attached to the shell, which allows the lug point. casings themselves to "float" eliminating any direct contact between the lug and the shell. As this design reduces the amount of hardware actually attached to the drum shell, the shell is allowed to vibrate freely. On an 11-inch shell the lug bolts, as well as the YESS mounting system, are all attached to the shell at its nodal point to greatly minimize influence on shell resonance to deliver maximum tone. Another benefit these lugs provide is when it comes time to change the head, it is no longer necessary to remove the tuning bolts from the lugs to remove the hoop. Just loosen the bolts enough to slide the lugs off of the bolts and the hoop comes right off. No more lost washers, etc. and head changes can be done quicker and easier than before. * Nodal point mounting is patented by the Nobel & Cooley Drum Company.

  • Troška Histrorie
    TROŠKA HISTORIE, NIKOHO NEZABIJE....... jak se říká "trocha historie nikoho nezabije" a je dobré vědět kdo nám ty kýble strouhá Leedy Drums Ulysses Grant Leedy začal svou kariéru počátkem devadesátých let devatenáctého století jako perkusionista v Indianapolis. Osobní založení a zájem vyrábět lepší nástroje ho však vedlo k tomu, že s podporou svých přátel a kolegů roku 1888 založil Leedy Drums Company a začal vyrábět své vlastní – nejprve stojany malých bubínku a posléze i samotné bubínky. Kredit mu vynesly zejména upravitelné malé bubínky (do té doby se SD pokládaly na židle nebo visely na popruhu. Rychlý úspěch vedl k výstavbě výrobny a k expanzi produktové linie zahrnující blány na bubny a rozmanité orchestrální perkusní nástroje a doplňky. Leedy rovněž začal prodávat své produkty ve velkém po celé zemi. V roce 1909, kdy svou společnost založili bratři Ludwigové, se právě oni stali agentem Leedy drums v Chicagu. Ludwigové později začali vyrábět své vlastní nástroje a Leedy drums přerostli. Ve dvacátých letech dvacátého století Leedy naplnil potřebu vlastního prodejního managementu a zaměstnal Georgie Waye, který měl svou vlastní společnost vyrábějící bicí v Kanadě. Mimo svých prodejních schopnosti měl Way i technické znalosti, které uplatnil při četných inovacích u Leedy drums, které jednou pro vždy změnily výrobu bicích. Zhoršující se zdravotní stav přinutil Leedyho svou společnost roku 1929 prodat. Novým majitelem se stal GC Bonn Manufacturing Co., jež později koupila i Ludwig drum company. Sled událostí, které odstartovala 2.světová válka vyústil v prodeji divize Leedy & Ludwig Drum zpět do rodiny Ludwigů. William F. Ludwig Jr. ze společnosti WFL drum a Bud Slingerland spojili své síly a odkoupili upadající Connův podnik.

This year, the company’s Customer Experience Group (CEG) raises the stakes with the Yamaha Hub iOS app, available in the App Store for free. The innovative app – singled out by Apple as a “New and Noteworthy” addition to the App Store at its debut – aggregates data about Yamaha products, promotions, content and events at the NAMM show in Anaheim for users of Apple products and features practical functionality that will be useful and informative long after the show is over. “Mobile media devices are clearly the wave of the future,” said Jeff Hawley, Director of the Yamaha Customer Experience Group. “Yamaha is committed to leveraging a strong mobile presence not just at trade shows, but also in our customers’ purses and pockets, as these devices become more sophisticated and ubiquitous.” Based on the template provided by the Yamaha Hub, the multi-media web portal that serves as “the Hub of all things Yamaha,” the new app is segmented by instrument groups and contains all Hub content, complete with an expanded area for video details and links to more information and product pages.
