iDrum magazine: Never miss a beat  |  124 January 2014
In our first issue of 2014, we interview multi-talented Sheila E., who gives us the lowdown on her new album Icon, as well as an insight into her long and illustrious career. The percussion theme continues as we hear from Pete Lockett, and we natter to jazz drummer Jaimeo Brown, UK groove-master Carlos Hercules, and Young Drummer Of The Year 2013 Matthew Brown.
We’ve got a bumper crop of review gear too – including a fresh and funky Cast Acrylic Kit from AD Custom Drums, a host of new crashes from Zildjian’s A Series, a pair of incredibly unique snare drums from Provenance Drums, the latest additions to Meinl’s Byzance cymbal range, and a selection of junior cajóns courtesy of Nino Percussion.
We also bring you our special report form the 2013 EFG London Jazz Festival, a series looking at how to get the most out the internet, and an extended Drum Tech Diary highlighting the benefits of preparation in a busy musical life.
All of this plus our regular news, features and top-notch tuition makes for an action packed start to the new year!
Exclusive to our digital version, we bring you our video reviews of AD Custom Drums Cast Acrylic Kit,m Provenance Drums West Pier Purpleheart snare drum, and Meinl’s new Byzance hi-hats. We also have videos accompanying Pete Lockett, Carlos Hercules, and Matthew Brown’s interviews; our regular ‘Problem Shared’ column with Martin Ranscombe; and tuition vids from our skilled tutors.
