JOE MORELLO

When it comes to technique, Joe Morello is in a class by

himself, and his work with the Dave Brubeck Quartet proved

that he knew how to use that technique musically. Now, as a

teacher, Morello is passing down his expertise to a new

generation of drummers.

MD's

Expanded

Coverage

On occasion, special-interest publications like

MD need to update and reevaluate certain seg-

ments of their overall editorial thrust, in an effort

to stay ahead of, and in line with, the needs and

wants of its readership. We've certainly witnessed

a number of new developments in the drum indus-

try since Modern Drummer first appeared in 1977.

And of the developments we've reported on in ten

years' time, perhaps the most significant has been

the incredible impact electronics has had on the

drumming world. The remarkable growth of elec-

tronics, the highly sophisticated technology, and

the extensive amount of information today's

drummer needs to understand the subject matter

fully have led us to beef up our coverage of elec-

tronics and drumming. Here's how we'll accom-

plish it.

First, most of the information on electronics,

aside from what's been coming through feature

interviews, has been channeled through our popu-

lar Electronic Insights column. This department

will run on a regular basis, and will continue to

offer even more in-depth information on electronic

equipment, how-to articles, and material ranging

from the workings of electronic drumsets to a

series of articles on MIDI interfacing.

Next, product testing and reviews of the latest in

electronic gear will be presented through a brand-

new department called Electronic Review. Here

you'll find fully detailed information on complete

electronic sets, drumpad kits, triggers, processors,

interfacing equipment, and so on. If you're search-

ing among the confusing maze of available prod-

ucts for the equipment that is right for you, you'll

find out about it here. (Our regular, long-running

Product Close-Up department will continue as

usual, with one exception. It will be dealing only

with acoustic drums, accessories, and cymbals.)

Finally, we've created a special place for the

drum machine segment of the electronic revolu-

tion. Another new column, called The Machine

Shop, makes its debut in this issue. Here, we'll

evaluate various types of drum machines and point

out the working details. The Machine Shop will be

the place to find out what to look for in a drum

machine and how to best utilize its startling poten-

tial, as well as to learn about programming your

machine.

Like it or not, the drumming and electronic

movement is firmly entrenched in a great deal of

today's music. It would be close to impossible for

us to supply MD readers with the total technologi-

cal picture in just one department each month.

And, as I mentioned in last month's column, it cer-

tainly does appear as though that great wall that

seemed to exist between "electronic" and "acous-

tic" factions is now beginning to crack and crum-

ble. Perhaps this, along with MD's expanded cov-

erage of it all, will encourage even more drumming

enthusiasts to examine the very latest musical tech-

nology.
