CHRIS SLADE
When Jimmy Page decided to return from his self-imposed
musicians for his new band, The Firm. His choice on drums was
Chris Slade, who in Page's words is "an extremely powerful and
technical drummer." In this MD exclusive, Slade discusses his
prestigious and varied career, including his work with Tom Jones,
Manfred Mann, Uriah Heep, and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, as
well as his most recent success with The Firm.
by Teri Saccone
MICKEY ROKER
of years would be a sufficient achievement for most drummers, but
for Mickey Roker, it is only one of many accomplishments. In his
first MD interview, Roker recalls his years as one of the regular
drummers for Blue Note Records, and talks about his current gig
with Milt Jackson.

The September/November issue of Modern Percussionist marks the
magazine's first complete four-issue year. I'm very glad to report that the
response from readers, the music dealers who carry the magazine in their
shops, and the percussion industry as a whole has been extremely positive
and supportive. As a result, we're raring to forge ahead into our second
exciting year.
If you've been a regular reader of Modern Percussionist throughout the
past year, you're undoubtedly aware that the magazine focuses on the spe-
cialized needs of four separate factions of the percussion world, all of
which are not covered in the pages of Modern Drummer. Those areas are
orchestral percussion, Latin and ethnic drumming, keyboard percussion
instruments, and drum & bugle corps performance. As I mentioned in my
introduction to MP last year, the magazine was designed to deal with these
complex and unique styles of drumming on an in-depth basis. Though we
always felt an obligation to cover the different facets of percussion in Mod-
ern Drummer, it was something we found difficult to do without disturbing
the editorial direction of MD, which is focused on the contemporary drum-
set player. And so, separating these distinctly different areas of drumming
seemed to be the only logical solution. Judging from the response, we think
our decision was a good one.
The first four issues of Modern Percussionist, thoughtfully edited by
Rick Mattingly, delved into the musical world of percussion artists such as
Emil Richards, Ralph MacDonald, Gary Burton, Ray Barretto, Chris
Lamb, Bobby Hutcherson, Dale Anderson, Ralph Hardimon and Fred
Sanford, and offered columns from experts like Dennis DeLucia, Vic Firth,
Gordon Gottlieb, Arthur Press, Dave Samuels, Montego Joe, and many
more. You might also be interested to know that, though MP comes com-
plete with many of its own contributing writers and columnists, the maga-
zine itself is edited and produced by the same in-house staff responsible for
every issue of Modern Drummer.
Obviously, it would be foolish for me to suggest that every MD reader
will be interested in the content of Modern Percussionist. This editorial
was not intended to be a subscription solicitation for our sister publication.
However, I do think it's important for all MD readers to realize that, if
they are currently involved in other areas of drumming, or are planning to
widen their scope by branching into orchestral, keyboard, or marching per-
cussion, then MP is certainly worth investigating. You're not likely to find
all the relevant information you'll need regarding these highly specialized
areas in the pages of Modern Drummer alone. Of course, if your interests
have always run the gamut from rock and jazz, to keyboard percussion and
timpani, then both publications truly represent essential reading.
My thanks to the readers, dealers, and advertisers who have accepted
and supported Modern Percussionist throughout its first year. We promise
all of you an even more dynamic second year.
