  • December 1995
    Contents Features TRIS IMBODEN A drummer who can burn on gigs as diverse as Kenny Loggins, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Al Jarreau, and Cecilia & The Wild Clams is obviously prepared for the most demanding situations. With the release of Chicago's contemporary big band album—as well as a CD of all-new material—it seems Tris Imboden has found the perfect challenge. Robyn Flans 34 PETE THOMAS Pete Thomas's best-known gig may be Elvis Costello, but lately he's proven perfectly suited to projects by Richard Thompson, Matthew Sweet, Los Lobos, and John Paul Jones/Diamanda Galas. A recent Costello engagement in NYC proved just the right time to catch up with this drumset chameleon. Adam Budofsky 56 THE DRUMMERS OF BRAZIL The city of Recife was recently the site of the very first Oficina de Percussao, a week-long celebration of Brazilian drumming. With this unique event as a backdrop, Brazil's top drumset artists gather 'round the table and describe what it is to ply the trade in the deepest percussive culture of all. Chuck Silverman 78 A VISIT TO THE PAS MUSEUM Even the most forward-looking drummer will admit that there's great wisdom in the past. In an exclusive photo-essay, MD captures the Percussive Arts Society's vast collection of vintage and unusual percussion, which poignantly traces the history of our instrument.
