FEATURES:
DANNY
SERAPHINE
Danny Seraphine and
Chicago have come a
long way. Always experi-
menting, always grow-
ing, Seraphine has
managed to keep his per-
formances fresh, adding
new sparks to the legen-
dary Chicago style.
Seraphine reminisces
about his years with
Chicago and early teach-
ers that helped build a
foundation for his con-
tinued development as a
musician.
BOB MOSES
As a child, Bob Moses
had the opportunity to
meet drummers of all
styles and musical back-
grounds, including Ed
Shaughnessy, Max
Roach and Elvin Jones.
With that influence
behind him, Moses has
developed a philosoph-
ical, "spiritual" view
towards teaching and
playing the drums. 18
BARRIEMORE
BARLOW
Barriemore Barlow's in-
tuitive drumming tech-
nique has colored the
music of Jethro Tull —
adding the complexity of
rhythms marked by
many British rock drum-
mers. Barlow talks about
his past musical af-
filiations and the oppor-
tunities playing with Tull
have afforded him. 24
MICHAEL
CARVIN
Tradition and jazz are
words synonymous with
each other in Michael
Carvin's vocabulary.
Having played with all
the jazz greats, Carvin
has a religious-like de-
votion to the purity and
traditions of jazz and the
melodic properties of the
drumset.

This issue of Modern Drummer is especially meaningful for us because
it marks the end of our third complete year of publishing. Those of us
involved with MD have experienced three years of hard work and
growing pains. And yet, they have been three of the most totally
fulfilling years of our lives. We were fortunate to accomplish something
that isn't easy in the modern publishing world; launching a national
magazine with hardly any initial circulation, virtually no advertising, and
insufficient cash to see it through that bleak stage.
Individuals with more publishing expertise advised that it was sheer
lunacy to attempt getting MD off the ground. How could we be sure
drummers wanted their own magazine in the first place? Well, we went
ahead despite it all. We soon realized that everything they said was
initially true. For awhile, we were never sure there would be a next issue
since we had to rely on the income generated from the previous issue to
finance the next. We stood prepared to return money to early subscribers at
anytime, with an apologetic note. To say that MD was a high anxiety
venture during its first year is a genuine understatement.
The magazine had originally been planned as a newsprint tabloid.
The magazine format (a much better looking product, but three times
more expensive to produce) was adopted at the very last minute. It
was a decision we've never regretted. Our premier issue ran at a mere
3,000 copies. We remember remaining with the printer throughout the entire
night to watch the first magazines roll off the presses. Only about half
of those 3,000 magazines were actually destined for paid subscribers.
The rest were mailed free to anyone even remotely related to the
percussion industry.
Most advertisers understandably took a wait and see attitude.
No established company likes to tie in with a fly by night. It's interesting
how that issue, with 28 solid editorial pages, little advertising, and no
graphics to speak of, has since become the most in-demand issue in the
history of the magazine.
We were forced to quickly learn a great deal about publishing
survival. It was a time of intense determination. Long days often ran
into equally long nights. But in retrospect, it was the ultimate education.
It compelled us to assemble the finest editorial package we possibly could.
It's a policy we've consciously attempted to maintain ever since.
Today Modern Drummer Magazine is in every corner of the U.S.
and over 40 foreign nations with a total readership exceeding 35,000.
Advertising has grown from the six daring firms who took a chance
with the first issue, to all the major percussion people in the country.
We've seen those 28 pages grow to nearly triple that amount.
We've seen the development of a national network of correspondents,
and the formation of a top-notch 25 member Advisory Board. The
magazine has grown from a quarterly to bi-monthly publishing schedule.
The magazine is now available at more than 600 drum shops and music
stores, and at record shops, bookstores, libraries and newsstands across
the country.
Our thanks to those readers who believed in us then and to our
new readers. Likewise, to the advertisers who ultimately came on board,
and stayed. Together, we've been able to open a line of communication
between a thriving industry and an information deprived musician.
A liaison which did not exist before. And therein is perhaps the most
meaningful accomplishment of all.
