Aug-Sept 1981 Cover Photo by Ross Gadye CONTENTS KREUTZMANN and HART There are certain musicians who do not merely play an instrument—they live it. Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, drummer/percussionists with the Grateful Dead, are perfect examples. From the many hours spent practicing, to the con- stant search for new and better instruments, to the physical and mental conditioning, their lives are totally structured around their careers. Bill and Mickey share their thoughts on these matters in an MD interview that is as unique as their music. 10 JAMES BRADLEY, Jr. "You just have to believe in yourself," states James Bradley, who at age 18, became the drummer for Chuck Mangione and recorded the top-selling Feels So Good album. Having acquired his first drum set at the age of 3, James speaks with the knowledge gained from over 20 years of involvement with the drums. 14 BARRY KEANE Canadian studio drummer Barry Keane became involved with the record business by taking a job in the shipping department of a record distributor and working his way up. In addition to his recording work, Barry tours with Gordon Lightfoot, and lectures on recording at colleges in Canada. He offers practical advice on playing, teaching, and surviving in the music business. 20 THE PERCUSSIVE WORLD OF JACK VAN DER THE DRUMS OF AFRICA 26 WYK 18 CASEY SCHEUERELL: WITH FEELING 28 THE CARE AND FEEDING OF CYMBALS 23 COLUMNS: EDITOR'S OVERVIEW 2 PORTRAITS John Robinson ASK A PRO 4 by Robyn Flans 56 READER'S PLATFORM 6 STRICTLY TECHNIQUE Bass Drum Control ROCK PERSPECTIVES by Colin Bailey 62 Modular Rock by David Garibaldi PRODUCT CLOSE-UP 32 Aquarian Accessories 64 JAZZ DRUMMERS WORKSHOP by Bob Saydlowski, Jr. The Music of the Drums—part 3 CONCEPTS by Barry Altschul 36 Developing Good Time by Roy Burns 68 ROCK 'N' JAZZ CLINIC The Making of a Demo Tape STAYING IN TUNE by Roberto Petaccia 40 by Hal Blaine 72 DRUM SOLOIST TEACHER'S FORUM Buddy Rich Drumset Applications of Ted Reed's Syncopation by Chuck Kerrigan 44 by Robert Breithaupt 76 SHOW AND STUDIO IT'S QUESTIONABLE Charles Collins: Up Close by Cheech Iero 80 by Bruce Nixon 48 DRUM MARKET 84 CLUB SCENE INDUSTRY HAPPENINGS 90 A Drummer's Survival Kit by Rick Van Horn 52 JUST DRUMS 91 STAFF: EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Ronald Spagnardi FEATURES EDITOR: Rick Mattingly ASSOCIATE EDITORS: Mark Hurley Paul Uldrich MANAGING EDITOR: Scott K.

  • Interview with Colin Bailey, Drummer with Winifred Atwell in the 1950S
    Interview with Colin Bailey, drummer with Winifred Atwell in the 1950s Bailey was born in Swindon in 1934. Now lives in California. In Australia in the early 1960s he was a member of the Australian Jazz Quartet. Became an American citizen in 1970. Playing, recording and touring nationally and internationally with Atwell in the early 1950s was a major early break in his music career. As he said to me more than once, ‘I wouldn’t be where I am if hadn’t been for Winnie’. In his jazz, recording and performing career in the US, Bailey has worked with Frank Sinatra, Joe Pass (with whom he recorded 14 albums), Miles Davis (depping for the teenaged Tony Williams who was too young to get a club licence—‘one of the thrills of my life’), George Shearing, Benny Goodman, and many others. He is author of influential drum technique books, and a former music lecturer at North Texas State University. In 1978 ? Bailey was flown out to Australia from the US as a special surprise guest for Atwell’s appearance on the Australian television version of This Is Your Life. Telephone interview, May 6 2011. In July 1952 I was a young musician learning at Ivor Mairants’s Central School of Dance Music, in London. Ivor played guitar with Winnie on her recordings, and she was looking for a new drummer, so I auditioned, at his suggestion. There were two drummers, and I thought the other player was better than me, but they chose me. Later, Jan—my wife—was Winnie’s dresser, so it was a perfect arrangement, for touring and travelling.

The first chapter discusses the kindsof ideas people have about Indians, especially stereotypes of Indians being wild, red-colored, and uncivilized. The second chapterlooks at the prehistory of Indian culture to see the ways in which Indianpeoples learned to exploit the land. The excavations ofan Indian camp site at Green Point, Michigan, are described, including discussionof the dig, findings, and changes in Indian life from S00-1700A.D. Chapter three recounts Indian-white relations during 1600-1900 inorder to explore what happened when a stone-age culture facedan acquisitive white culture that was more highly developed and hadmore resources. The Iroquois Indians in the northeastserve as an example of how Indian life patterns were destroyed by European, occupationof America. The last chapter examines the Indian-whitecontact and the way it has caused recent problems for Indians.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.
