Modern Drummer

Founded in 1977 by professional drummer and drum teacher, Ron Spagnardi, Modern Drummer magazine was the world's first publication of its kind; featuring articles and interviews with major drummers from a wide cross-section of musical disciplines, news and reviews of the latest drum equipment, and educational columns from highly-respected educators. Modern Drummers' skill in both documenting the state-of-the-art and influencing it quickly established the magazine's popular and critical acclaim and over the years MD's presence expanded to include special editions, an extensive collection of educational books and DVDs, and the Modern Drummer Readers Poll and Hall Of Fame as well as the Modern Drummer Festival™, a world-renowned event that attracts major drum artists and enthusiasts from around the globe. Now in its 34th year of continuous publication, Modern Drummer remains the largest and most successful drum magazine on the planet.
