FEATURES:
At the pinnacle of Kiss' success, drummer Peter Criss re-
cently decided to leave the band and embark on a new career
with his own band. Off came the cat makeup—his trademark—
and people got their first glimpse of the real Peter Criss. Criss
is determined to prove that he can make it solo, and in this
interview, talks at length about his reasons for leaving the
security of Kiss for a new beginning—alone.

In recent years the popularity of the Dixie Dregs has surged.
Rod Morgenstein, drummer for the Dregs, is a well schooled
and very musical drummer who feels that, "You have to be
thinking of ways to get as many sounds as possible out of the
instrument you play . . . Always hit a different drum. Think of
the drums as one of five instruments, as in this band, and what
you can do to round out and complete what the others are
playing."

Studio drummer Rick Marotta has played for some of the top
recording artists in the music industry. His much sought-after
drumming style has enhanced the music of Linda Ronstadt,
Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, Peter Frampton and countless
others. Marotta stresses the importance of keeping good, solid
time which explains for the success that he has encountered.
Marotta also talks about his new venture—as drummer for the
group Ronin .

This issue of Modern Drummer is the first of our new nine time pub-
lishing cycle. You'll see MD in April, May, June and July; one issue for
August/September and again monthly through October, November and
December to round out the year.
A word to subscribers: Your subscription expiration dates are being
automatically adjusted by our computer. You'll still receive the correct
amount of issues due you, but you can expect to see your renewal com-
ing up sooner to adjust to the new frequency. We're expecting a smooth
transition, but feel free to contact us should a problem arise with your
subscription. One of the Circulation Department people will be glad to
help.
What's up for '81? Well, the basic MD format will remain the same,
though you'll probably note an even wider assortment of feature articles.
For openers, Hal Blaine, Roger Hawkins, Simon Phillips, Steve Smith,
Harvey Mason, Alan Gratzer, James Bradley, Jr., Billy Kreutzmann
and Mickey Hart, Shelly Manne, Ed Blackwell and Terry Bozzio are just
a few of the artists on the exclusive interview roster. We'll also investi-
gate the educational programs at Drummer's Collective in New York,
and the Percussion Institute of Technology in LA; take a tour of one of
the nation's major drum manufacturing plants; explore the world of four
Broadway show drummers in a roundtable discussion, and present com-
prehensive reports on how to properly mike your drums, how to open a
drum shop, how to get your product idea on the market, and how to
publish your drum book. We'll be looking at new drums, old drums,
ethnic drums, and everything in between. And MD's diversified assort-
ment of specialized columns will continue to help you be the best you
want to be. Along with our standard roster, you can also look forward to
guest columnists like Dave Samuels, Charley Donnelly, Vic Firth, Hal
Blaine and Alan Dawson, plus a few more surprises.
We've started off the new year with ex-Kiss drummer, Peter Criss. On
his own after seven years in cat makeup, the all new Criss reflects on his
background and early drumming inspirations amidst an optimistic look to
the future. Drummer Rod Morgenstein discusses jazz influences in his
musical career, and the role he's played in the overall success of the
Dixie Dregs. And San Francisco based George Marsh, an accomplished
player and teacher, takes an intelligent look at drums and drumming,
enlightening us along the way with his own unique "inner approach." A
part of the new breed of jazz rock oriented studio drummers, Rick Ma-
rotta—whose been laying down hit making rhythm tracks for everybody
from Carly Simon to Peter Frampton—reflects on life in the recording
studios of New York. And MD's special, John Bonham: In Retrospect is
a fine collection of more than forty Bonham rhythmic transcriptions by
author James Morton in tribute to one of rock's most memorable players.
In the column department, Frank Kofsky concludes his three part
Care and Feeding of Drums series, and Bob Saydlowski, Jr., looks close
up at the Sonor XK925. There's Ed Soph on bass drum development,
Dave Garibaldi on toms, Roy Burns on drum teachers, Rick Van Horn
on the singing drummer, and a challenging Art Blakey solo transcription
by Doug Garrison.
You'll also find the Third Annual MD Reader's Poll ballot in this issue.
Needless to say, your favorite players would like to have your votes. The
deadline is March 10th, so don't delay. Look for the exciting results in
the June issue.
