Shelly Manne Scholarship Winner

Congratulations to Richard F. Craig, Jr., win-

ner of the 1986 MD Shelly Manne Memorial Schol-

arship. This year, the scholarship was coordinated

through the Percussion Institute of Technology

(PIT), a division of the Musicians Institute in Hol-

lywood, California.

Rick Craig, a 23-year-old drummer from St.

Petersburg, Florida, has been playing drums for 18

years. Following high school graduation, Rick

enrolled at the University of South Florida in

Tampa, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in

Music in 1985. During college, Rick taught percus-

sion for several Tampa Bay area high schools, per-

formed with the University of South Florida Jazz

Orchestra, and pursued further private drumming

instruction on a limited basis with Peter Erskine in

New York, and David Garibaldi in Los Angeles.

Throughout college, Rick also engaged in a vari-

ety of musical endeavors, ranging from perform-

ances with the West Coast Symphony Orchestra as

an extra percussionist, to drumming in shows

behind artists like Doc Severinson, Dinah Shore,

Marilyn McCoo, and Sergio Franchi. Rick's

drumming interests have also extended to small

jazz groups, funk, and big band settings. Cur-

rently, he is performing with a contemporary

fusion band called Tapaztry.

Playing since the age of five, Rick credits Omar

Hakim, Peter Erskine, Steve Gadd, Elvin Jones,

Dave Weckl, and Mel Lewis as the drummers who

have had the greatest influence on his playing. His

immediate goals are to continue to develop and

expand conceptually as a player, and gain even fur-

ther experience in various facets of drumming.

Ultimately, Rick hopes to become a proficient ses-

sion drummer and apply that ability in the Los

Angeles recording studios.

The Shelly Manne Memorial Scholarship is open

to any drummer, age 18 or over, with aspirations

for a professional career in drumming, and the

potential to achieve that goal. This is demon-

strated through good basic skills in the areas of

technique, coordination, time conception, read-

ing, ensemble playing, and solo work. The recipi-

ent should also be able to show some degree of ver-

satility through his or her ability in more than one

phase of drumming. For example, any applicant

who can demonstrate performance skills in rock,

jazz, and big band would be given greater consid-

eration than an individual skilled in only one spe-

cialized area.

Richard Craig was selected for the Shelly Manne

Memorial Scholarship from a group of applicants,

each of whom submitted background information

and a taped performance demonstrating his or her

playing in both a solo and ensemble format. All

applicants were pre-screened by the PIT Scholar-

ship Committee. Resumes and tapes were then for-

warded to the MD home office, where the final win-

ner was selected from the top five finalists. Once

again, Modern Drummer extends its sincere con-

gratulations to Richard F. Craig, Jr., and wishes

him success in all his future musical endeavors.
