FEATURES:

JOHNSON—TRUCKS

Jaimo Johnson and Butch Trucks both share the drum chair

in the Allman Brothers Band. Both are unsure of why this

unique situation works so well, but their ability to communicate

and drive the band is evident. In this delightfully laid-back

interview, Trucks and Johnson supply insight into the early

days of the Allman Brothers Band and how after splitting up

and then reuniting, the music remained fresh and the relation-

ship between bandmembers strong.

ROGER HAWKINS

Drummer Roger Hawkins has the best of both worlds. With a

successful studio career as part of the Muscle Shoals Studios

Rhythm Section in Alabama, Hawkins also has the pleasure of

working in a serene environment, unlike the Los Angeles or

New York scene. Besides drumming, as part owner of the

studio, Hawkins has moved into the area of production. To

Hawkins a good studio drummer, "Makes every effort possible

to give the producer what he wants, as far as sound and style

. . . and who has the ability to play those styles well." 14

PAUL ENGLISH

For 26 years, Paul English has been affiliated with Willie

Nelson. English attributes his success exclusively to Willie

Nelson, for whom he has deep affection and respect. The band

is currently enjoying tremendous popularity within the realm of

country music. English discusses his relationship with Nelson,

life on the road, and the special requirements of drumming in

the Willie Nelson Band.

DIRECTOR:

I'm occasionally asked how a typical issue of Modern Drummer

Magazine progresses from typewritten pages and dozens of photo-

graphs, to a finished magazine. Actually, it's a highly refined process

involving a lot of people, and operating on a complex and demanding

schedule between our offices in New Jersey and our printer in Rich-

mond, Virginia.

Every new issue begins with an Editorial/Art Department confer-

ence. Feature interviews, column material, photographs and artwork

are all discussed and evaluated at this initial planning stage meeting as

the massive editing process gets underway. Very shortly thereafter,

MD's Art Director begins designing a graphic presentation for every

story. Rough layouts are generally approved within two weeks and all

materials begin their shuffle to the printing plant 500 miles away. Type-

set copy (galleys) is soon returned for proofreading and further editing.

Meanwhile, musical examples are off to the typesetters in New York,

the Advertising Department begins shipping all ads to Richmond, and

color art for feature articles and the magazine's cover are on their way

to the color separators in Florida.

While one set of galleys are being proofread by MD's Editors, the

Art Department begins to paste down a duplicate set on dummy sheets

which tell the printer where each individual element of the issue is to

be placed. There's a short break while we await arrival of page proofs

(pages which now include all editorial, art and advertising content).

Each and every item is checked, re-checked and sent to the printing

plant again for still further revisions and refinement.

Four to five days later, a blueprint of the near completed issue ar-

rives. Within eight hours, all last chance alterations must be made and

the final OK given. One day later, MD is on press. Following the

printing process, every copy must be folded, collated, bound and

trimmed. Subscriber address labels meet up with the finished maga-

zines in Richmond and copies are in the mail stream within a day.

Hundreds of boxes, all individually packed, sorted and labeled, are on

their way to music stores, drum shops and key newsstands coast to

coast in another three days. The process is complete as sighs of relief

can be detected throughout the office.

The bulk of May's editorial is devoted to the country western,

southern rock music scene and some of the fine drummers involved in

this specialized form of American music. Credit for coordinating the

project must go to MD's Managing Editor Scott Fish, and contributing

editor Robyn Flans, who between them, spoke with six of the leading

players in the field: Butch Trucks and Jaimo Johnson of the Allman

Brothers Band, Paul T. Riddle from Marshall Tucker, and Paul English

from Willie Nelson's band. Plus, two of country music's most in-de-

mand session players; Roger Hawkins from Muscle Shoals and Nash-

ville's Buddy Harman.

Back up north, Chicago's Clint Dodd takes us Inside Ludwig for a

look at the making of a drum, and Jim Dearing—author of MD's recent

and popular Drums and Weightlifting article—now investigates drum-

ming and drinking; a real eye-opener for those inclined to mix.

A superb lineup of columns are highlighted this issue by Gene

Moore's Cross-Sticking; Getting Your Money's Worth by Club Scene

Editor Rick Van Horn, Roy Burns on soloing, the inimitable Alan

Dawson on drumming musically, and Bob Saydlowski's Premier Reso-

nator close-up and snare drum reference, part two.

I'm also very happy to report with this issue, the addition of Mr. Bill

Bruford to Modern Drummer Magazine's prestigious Advisory Board.
