Vice President Kevin W. Kearns The fi rst time I saw MD at a shopping mall Associate Publisher Tracy A. Kearns bookstore in the early 2000s, I remember thinking, Wait, someone makes a magazine Advertising Director Bob Berenson for US? I felt excited and grateful; many Advertising Assistant LaShanda Gibson of you likely felt that same elation after Senior Art Director Scott G. Bienstock picking up your own fi rst copy. Editorial Director Adam J. Budofsky It wasn’t long after discovering MD Hill Dave that I became aware of this month’s Managing Editor Michael Dawson cover artist, Mark Schulman. It was in the Ask a Pro column of the March Associate Editor Willie Rose 2003 issue. Schulman was performing with the pop icon Cher then, and Editor at Large Billy Amendola he was asked by a reader about his ability to achieve diff erent drum tones at the kit without having to change setups. Mark’s response was clearly THE MD PRO PANEL/ADVISORY BOARD: Chris Adler, Kenny Aronoff, Eddie worded, enthusiastic, thorough, and informative. In addition, his advice on Bayers, Gregg Bissonette, Jason Bittner, Bill Bruford, Will Calhoun, Terri Lyne technique, phrasing, and tuning still holds up. Carrington, Matt Chamberlain, Jeff Davis, Peter Erskine, Daniel Glass, Benny Schulman’s 2003 response feels particularly profound today due to the Greb, Matt Halpern, Horacio Hernandez, Gerald Heyward, Taku Hirano, Susie Ibarra, Jim Keltner, Paul Leim, Peter Magadini, George Marsh, Pat Mastelotto, amount of eff ort he put into answering that one question. His reply fi lled Allison Miller, Rod Morgenstein, Andy Newmark, Stephen Perkins, Dafnis an entire page, and not a word was wasted. In the time since that piece was Prieto, Rich Redmond, Brian Reitzell, Jim Riley, Antonio Sanchez, Gil Sharone, published, Mark’s lost none of that passion for informing drummers. For Chad Smith, Steve Smith, Todd Sucherman, Billy Ward, Kenny proof all you need to do is read this month’s cover feature, which includes Washington, Dave Weckl, Paul Wertico extended coverage on his journey and methods.

Imagine the biggest pile of dung you can take and then double-- no, triple that shit and you s t i l l h a v e n ’ t c o m e c l o s e t o o n e octingentillionth of a Hypersphere cornerstone. Hell, you probably don’t even know what the Hypersphere is, you goddamn fucking idiot kid. I bet you don’t know the first goddamn thing about the Hypersphere. If you were paying attention, you would have gathered that it’s a big fucking 3 place, but one thing I bet you didn’t know about the Hypersphere is that it is filled with fucked up freaks. There are normal people too, but they just aren’t as interesting as the freaks. Are you a freak, kid? Some sort of fucking Hypersphere psycho? What the fuck are you even doing here? Get the fuck out of my face you fucking deviant. So there I was, chilling out in the Hypersphere. I’d spent the vast majority of my life there, in fact. It did contain everything in my observable universe, so it was pretty hard to leave, honestly. At the time, I was stressing the fuck out about a fight I had gotten in earlier.

  • DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW If Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey
    For Immediate Release: June 24, 2013 YEAH YEAH YEAHS “DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW if Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey ( Credit: Patrick Daughters) New York, NY…June 24…The Yeah Yeah Yeahs reach new heights today with the video for their new single “Despair.” Skyscraper heights. 102-story, 443-meter, Empire State Building heights, to be exact. "There's been a lot of career highs and lows over the years of being in a band, but in the end, how many can say they shot a video on the top of the Empire State Building? We win,” says singer Karen O. “Move out the way, King Kong, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are gonna get real with you up in this piece!” “Despair” is the second single off the NYC-based trio’s album Mosquito (Interscope), which entered the Billboard Top 200 this April at #5. The concept for the video came courtesy of Noisey.com, who decided they wanted to co-produce a video for the band’s single by pairing New York’s quintessential landmark with New York’s quintessential band. However, until now, no band had ever shot a video atop the World’s Most Famous Building. ”The Empire State Building’s iconographic presence is not limited to any date or age. We are happy to offer our magical canvas, the real magic of the real New York City, to this video,” says Anthony E. Malkin of Malkin Holdings. “Big bands deserve big ideas. So, when Noisey was given the challenge to come up with a big idea for a new Yeah Yeah Yeahs video, we jokingly said… ‘let's get them to play on top of the Empire State Building!!’ Then we said, ‘actually…wait, why not!?’ We called the Empire State Building and not only were they into it, they were a pleasure to work with.
