Drum Trivia # 1

by James Morton

DRUM MARKET

If you've ever heard a John Cougar Mellencamp record, then

you know that no one can hit a backbeat like drummer Kenny

Aronoff. But even though Mellencamp's music calls for a

fairly basic drum style, there's a lot of thought and effort

behind those distinctive grooves.

by Rick Mattingly

ADAM NUSSBAUM

The new generation of jazz musicians must have a

combination of fresh ideas and a solid understanding of

tradition. Adam Nussbaum's work with such artists as Gil

Evans and John Scofield is evidence that he meets those

requirements.

by Josef Woodard

JOE ENGLISH

His work with Paul McCartney & Wings and Sea Level put

Joe English at the very top of the music business, and yet he

felt that there was something lacking. He found the answer

through nothing less than a miracle.

Show

Time

Shows, expos, and conventions—does the music

industry have enough of them? Well consider, if

you will, a typical yearly schedule. We start each

year with the National Association of Music Mer-

chants (NAMM) Winter Expo in Anaheim, Cali-

fornia, in mid-January. This is followed up in Feb-

ruary with the Frankfurt, West Germany Music

Fair and then the Leipzig Spring Fair in March.

There's a welcome breather during April and May,

while everyone prepares for the main event: the

NAMM Music Expo, usually held in Chicago, and

lasting four days in mid-June.

Does that seem like enough for one year? It sure

does, but it isn't. In late July, it's time for the Brit-

ish Music Fair in London. Four days after the clos-

ing of the London Fair, it's off to Sydney, Austral-

ia for the Australian Music Exhibition. As if that

weren't enough, consider that the next stop is

Toronto, Canada for the Canadian Music Fair six

days after the show in Australia.

Well, that should definitely be the end of it now,

wouldn't you think? Wrong! Shortly after Labor

Day, it's back to Europe and sunny Italy for the

Italian Music Fair, not to be outdone by the Paris

Music Fair later in September, nor the final show

of the month in Barcelona, Spain. Surprisingly, no

one has yet to put a show in October! Until they

do, we'll just have to wait for the Percussive Arts

Society International Convention held in a differ-

ent American city each year in early November.

Finally, the last event of the year: the New York

International Music And Sound Expo late in

November.

Perhaps you're wondering just how MD fits into

all of this? Well, I think it's obvious that we can't

be present at each and every one of these events.

However, if we can't be there in person, we do

make our presence felt by sending magazines for

display, or by assigning a foreign correspondent to

report on items of importance to MD readers. For

example, the issue you're reading right now will be

available in rather huge quantities at NAMM in

Chicago, where hundreds of music dealers will get

a chance to see us. It's here where MD editors will

make contact with the major percussion people,

look over what's new in each line, and then pass

that information along to you, sometimes even

before certain products arrive at your favorite

shop. It also gives us an opportunity to evaluate

various drum lines, gauge the current standing of

the many companies, and try to determine what

direction each appears to be taking.

True, it's an ungodly number of shows—per-

haps way too many. But until someone comes up

with an alternative method, which isn't likely, it

seems as though Modern Drummer will just con-

tinue to follow the drum industry from one city to

the next, reporting our findings to MD readers in

the best way we can.
