iDrum magazine: Never miss a beat 103 June 2012 Edizione posteriore

Issue 103 of Drummer magazine is here and it’s packed to the brim with features, gear and interviews that take in the entire range of Planet Drum!
Our cover star this month is Troy Miller, a hugely in-demand drummer who’s worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers and Amy Winehouse. We talk gear, career and get the low-down of life on tour and in the studio with the troubled, but supremely talented Winehouse.
Greg Errico talks us through his decision to leave and rejoin funk legends The Family Stone and we catch up with Magnus Öström of Swedish jazz outfit e.s.t. concerning the release of ‘301’, new material recorded during the ‘Leucocyte’ sessions, and the first to be revealed after the tragic death of Esbjörn Svensson. Plus, Jean-Paul Gaster of genre-defiers Clutch takes a moment from his busy touring schedule to talk us through his views on the current drum scene.
We’re continuing to bring you new features, too. We’re getting you to ‘Show us Yours!’… by asking readers to send in pictures of their drumming pride and joy, and we’re sending our team out to the hottest drumming gigs – including the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert and tHUNder Duo – and rounding up what to watch out for in coming months.
As always, we’ve got the latest gear – Gretsch’s new Renown Maple kit, Evans’ G14 heads and the Roland HD-3 e-kit – and 11 pages of tutorials from some of the biggest names in drumming that span the entire gamut of percussion playing.
Enjoy!
