ROD MORGENSTEIN
When the (Dixie) Dregs broke up a couple of years ago after
enjoying considerable success, drummer Rod Morgenstein was
forced to consider the options that a drummer in the '80s has for
making a living. Here, Rod candidly discusses his self-evaluation
process, and how it led him to teaching, writing, doing studio
work, and starting his own company, while also being a member of
The Steve Morse Band.

I'd like to take a moment to explain and apologize for any problems that
may have occurred with your subscription records over the past six months
or so. By way of explanation, let me first state that two major moves
recently took place at
Modern Drummer.
The first was the physical move
of all company operations to our new home office. The change of address
certainly created its share of difficulties. However, the second move actu-
ally created the greater problem of the two.
Late last year, a decision was made to turn our subscription fulfillment
operation over to a service house specializing in this facet of the magazine
business. It was our intention to reduce the massive amount of in-house
detail work that is part and parcel of this phase of the business, and to thin
out personnel in this area, to make room for more creative in-house func-
tions. A reputable service house was selected, following a reasonable
amount of research (not nearly enough we later realized), and the conver-
sion of all subscriber records was made. Observant subscribers may have
noted the address change for their correspondence at this time, since all
subscription mail was channeled directly to the service house rather than to
MD,
a procedure that, by the way, is quite common with national publica-
tions.
Unfortunately, our selection of a subscription fulfillment service was a
poor one. Shortly after the conversion, we became aware of the fact that
the company we had chosen had serious internal problems, all of which
were masterfully concealed by the representatives of the company, and the
entire situation soon became a terrible thorn in our side. The company's
ineptitude was evident not only in its inability to supply us with accurate
accounting controls, but in the actual customer service being offered to our
loyal subscribers. Obviously, it's extremely unfortunate when a firm that
supposedly specializes in a particular field and represents itself as compe-
tent can create such ill will among a faithful group of subscribers, and this
it certainly did do.
I'd like to now point out that the address for subscriber mail has reverted
back to the
Modern Drummer
home office. I don't think it's necessary to
go to any greater length to explain the reasons why. Suffice it to say that we
have gradually put the pieces back together, and we are now functioning
similarly to the way we did in the past. Fortunately, we are back in control
of a situation that caused us insurmountable grief over the past several
months.
I would also like to offer my sincere apology to any readers who may
have experienced problems with their subscriptions, and for the inconven-
ience any of this may have caused. Though I can't take the blame for the
incredible incompetence of the organization responsible for the problems,
I do take full blame for not being
more
thorough in the search for a compe-
tent one. I am, however, anticipating a much smoother handling of all
related matters from this point on, and I encourage you to contact our Cir-
culation Department should you find otherwise. Thanks for your under-
standing.
