DAVID VAN TIEGHEM
His work with such artists as Steve Reich, Laurie Anderson, and Peter
Gordon, in addition to his own solo records and performances, has
established David Van Tieghem as a leader in modern percussion
playing, and he is just as happy playing on junk as he is using the latest
in electronics,

BILL BERRY
After years of critical success, R.E.M. has broken through to achieve a
great deal of commercial success, as well. Drummer Bill Berry is
obviously pleased, but thinks that it had a lot to do with luck.

EDITOR'S OVERVIEW
Improving
Communi-
cation
Our position between the consumers of drum
equipment, the dealers who retail the products, and
the manufacturers who produce them provides us
with some revealing insight. It also gives us an
opportunity to view the problems that can occur
on the distribution chain.
One matter we often hear about begins at the
manufacturing level, particularly with the public
relations people who issue announcements on new
products. These announcements appear in the form
of press releases, which you read in
MD's New And
Notable
department. When
MD
receives and pub-
lishes a new product press release, we naturally
assume that the product exists and is on its way to
the shops. However, the primary complaint comes
from both dealers and consumers who claim that,
many times, product press releases are sent out
way too far in advance of the actual appearance of
a new product on the market.
For example, dealers have informed us that cus-
tomers may inquire about a new product after see-
ing it in
MD,
before the shop owners themselves
have heard anything about it. On occasion, even
the manufacturer's rep knew little if anything
about a newly announced item. Some dealers have
even reported that upon further investigation,
someone at company headquarters claimed that,
despite the fact that a release had been issued, the
product either was not ready for production,
wouldn't be shipped to dealers for another three
months for some odd reason, or had been scrapped
altogether.
This seems to indicate a serious lack of commu-
nication in the industry. Along with it being a
disservice to the consumer, it also questions MD's
credibility, and casts a poor reflection on the
dealer who really needs to know what's going on.
And I can't imagine how it could be winning any
friends for the manufacturer. Granted, the percus-
sion industry today is highly competitive, and as
a result, some manufacturers rush to bring their
newest offerings to the marketplace. This, in turn,
creates the problem of announcements being made
well before those products are actually available!
Are there any solutions? Well, I see the problem
clearly rooted with the manufacturer—particularly
at the PR level. Perhaps manufacturers should seri-
ously consider using greater restraint prior to
making formal announcements. That's not to sug-
gest they wait until a new product is actually sit-
ting on the shelves, but at least until it's ready for
shipment—certainly not
before
it's been readied
for production, or worse, while it's still at the
modification stage. I think this restraint would
surely alleviate the problem for everyone further
down the line.
We plan to do our part as well. Prior to running
a release on a new product, which gives the indica-
tion that the item is, or will be, available, we'll
be conferring with manufacturers to verify that the
information is in line with their actual plans.
Hopefully, what you read in
New And Notable
will
always, in fact, be just that.
