One of the highlights of Peter Gabriel's recent So album and
tour was French drummer Manu Katche, who has gone on to
record with such artists as Sting, Joni Mitchell, and Robbie
Robertson. He tells of his background in France, and explains
why Peter Gabriel is so important to him.

STEVE HOUGHTON
He's known for his big band work with Woody Herman,
small-group playing with Scott Henderson, and his teaching at

better relationship between drumset and "serious"
percussion,

Return
A little over two years ago, I made reference in this
column to the bite of the deadly Drum Bug. I listed
a group of common symptoms to help determine,
if, in fact, you might have been a victim of the
Drum Bug's bite yourself.
I've received many letters since then - letters
from very young drummers, on up to Neil Peart
himself! Many recognized the problem and
reported on more symptoms not covered in my edi-
torial. Well, I've made a collection of some, so
please take note if any of these symptoms sound at
all familiar. You may have been bitten by the
Drum Bug if you've ever experienced:
1. A strange obsession to use pens and pencils as
drumsticks at any moment, on just about any play-
able surface.
2. An unexplainable need to keep a pair of sticks
stashed between the cushions of the living room
couch - much to the annoyance of other family
members.
3. A habit of tapping out catchy little rhythms to
the steady pulsation of your car's windshield wip-
ers.
4. A compulsion to engage in "air drumming"
in the bathroom mirror - with or without drum-
sticks.
5. The heartbreak of black and blue marks on
both knees, the unfortunate result of practicing
your flam taps on that easily bruised portion of
your anatomy.
6. An odd inclination to play double bass drum
licks on any flooring surface that even remotely
resembles the feel of a 24" bass drum.
7. A worrisome desire to sit and stare at your
drumset from across the room, for no obvious reason
son other than to watch the chrome shine and the
sparkle sparkle.
8. A gut feeling that life is only worth living
when the drums sound great, the chops are
together, and the band is happening.
9. A sense of extreme hostility towards the little
old lady in the car ahead who's holding you back
from getting home to try out your new 18" crash.
10. An inner frustration that would pervade at a
Buddy Rich concert, when you were forced to face
the fact that you didn't have the slightest idea of
how he was doing what he was doing.
11. A self-destructive attempt to make the gig,
despite your 103-degree fever, an upset stomach,
and a very noticeable inability to stand up.
12. Absolutely no aversion whatsoever to haul-
ing your drums to the car in 7" of snow at 3:00 in
the morning following a six-hour gig 84 miles away
from home.
13. The fact that your final decision on the pur-
chase of a secondhand Ford was based entirely on
whether or not your trapcase would fit in the back-
seat.
14. The first time your irate girlfriend gave you
the ultimatum, "It's either me or those damn
drums," and you asked if you could have a few
minutes to think about it!
Does any of this ring a bell? If so, you may have
to accept the fact that the Drum Bug has managed
to get to you. But don't fret. Nine out of ten read-
ers of this magazine are afflicted. If there's anyone
out there with other symptoms, please feel free to
send them to me. And by all means, stay tuned to
this magazine for further important updates.
