Chart Reading: Part 3

by Gil Graham

He is highly respected for his drumming with such artists as

Peter Gabriel and Joan Armatrading, and yet there seems to

be an air of mystery surrounding Jerry Marotta. Who is the

man behind the drumming? MD found out.

MARVIN "SMITTY"

SMITH

He has recently come to national attention as part of a new

generation of jazz players, but Marvin Smith's ideas and

techniques are based on some very old traditions,

CHRIS BRADY

While a number of manufacturers refer to their drumshells as

"solid wood," Australian drum maker Chris Brady has taken

the idea a step further, with some very interesting results.

BUDDY WILLIAMS

Buddy Williams is well known as the drummer on the

television show Saturday Night Live, but what is not generally

known is that he also has performed and recorded with a

multitude of prominent artists.

by Robin Tolleson

MANNY ELIAS

Although Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith are the most visual

members of Tears For Fears, the drum sounds on such hits as

"Shout" and "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" were

created by a very talented and innovative musician: drummer

Manny Elias.

Once again, it's time to cast your vote for your favorite artists in Modern

Drummer's eighth annual Readers Poll. You'll find the official ballot in

this issue, ready for you to fill in the names of those top drummers who you

feel deserve recognition in their respective fields. As usual, the results of

the voting will be presented in MD's July '86 issue.

Please note that we've added a new feature to the poll this year called the

MD Honor Roll. The achievement of Honor Roll status will be presented

to any drummer who has won in any musical category for a total of five

different years. In essence, this will now be our way of honoring those art-

ists who have gained notable popularity among the readership and general

listening audience, and who have made an outstanding contribution to the

art of drumming. If an artist has been placed on the MD Honor Roll after

winning in the same category for five different years, that drummer will no

longer be eligible in that particular category (with the exception of

Recorded Performance). We will, of course, continue to recognize all

Honor Roll members by paying special tribute in each July poll-results

issue.

Our first Honor Roll members, each of whom has won for five years or

more, are Steve Gadd for studio and all-around drummer, Neil Peart in the

rock drumming category, Buddy Rich for big band, David Garibaldi in the

area of R&B/funk, Airto for Latin percussion, and Vic Firth in the field of

classical. For further details on this new feature of the Readers Poll, refer

to the ballot in this issue. Our congratulations to the six outstanding play-

ers who have been named to Modern Drummer Magazine's 1986 Honor

Roll.

Over the years, Modern Drummer has made a huge effort to cater to the

needs of drummers in the various specialized areas of performance through

our diversified column departments. However, one area that we have inad-

vertently neglected has been the presentation of information geared solely

for the young or old beginner to intermediate-level drummer—the novice

who is simply not equipped to jump in at the level of much of our current

column material. Thus, we are happy to announce the creation of a brand-

new MD department called Basics.

As the name implies, this new MD department will deal with the basics

of drumming from a number of different aspects. It's here where we'll be

touching upon everything from the basics of reading, coordination, and

technique, to the initial selection of drums, cymbals, accessories, and elec-

tronics, all from a beginner's point of view. Once again, Basics has been

designed not only for the young student, but rather for anyone at the very

early stages of development. Our lead-off article, "Tips Toward Effective

Practice" by Mike Myers, premiers in this issue. Hopefully, teachers, stu-

dents, and even self-taught players will benefit from the information we

plan to present through this department.

From Basics at the bottom level to the Honor Roll at the top, it appears

as though MD has managed to cover both ends of the drumming spectrum

in this March '86 issue. Enjoy.
