JOE COCUZZO
Having worked professionally since the age of 19, Joe Co-
cuzzo has an abundance of musical knowledge. His respect for
and understanding of the drummer's position within the music
has prepared him for affiliations with Buddy DeFranco, Gary
McFarland, Don Ellis, Woody Herman and Tony Bennett. 20
ED GREENE
Ed Greene has the distinction of being one of Los Angeles'
hottest studio drummers. Greene explains what it's like to work
in the studios while trying to keep your personal musical goals
alive, and what the responsibilities of a studio musician entail.
He also speaks on the methods used in a recording studio and
how the drums are appropriately adjusted for each session. 29

Two years ago, MD mailed questionaires to 1,000 randomly selected
subscribers in an effort to obtain a profile of a typical MD reader. We
received an astounding response. Over the next several months we will
be embarking on our second reader survey, this time to a sampling of
3,000 foreign and domestic readers.
Those of you included in this study will receive a two-part questionaire
which should take roughly 15 minutes to complete. Part 1 will deal with
you specifically: Your age, musical education, playing status, perform-
ance level, equipment purchasing habits, and so on. The information
gathered from this line of questioning is computer tabulated and studied
by key MD staff people. It is then passed along to our advertisers to aid
them in preparing the advertisements you read, and to help them in de-
termining precisely who they are reaching through our pages.
The questions in Part 2 relate to the editorial content of the magazine.
After computer tabulation, this information is distributed to all individual
editorial personnel where it is carefully evaluated. This is followed by
several day long full staff editorial department conferences where key
decisions are made on the basis of what we've learned. As you can see,
the information you supply is of considerable importance to us. The data
provided by 3,000 readers acts as a barometer from which we can ascer-
tain what feature articles and column departments were well-read; what
material you enjoyed or didn't enjoy; which columns were too simple or
too complex; what you would like to see more of, or perhaps, less of. In
essence, we learn where we've succeeded or failed with the editorial
material we've presented to you. The study tells us if it's necessary to
adjust the editorial direction of the magazine in any way. Most impor-
tant, the information you supply aids us in tailoring future issues to your
exact needs and interests.
If you are among the 3,000 randomly selected names, please take the
time to respond as accurately as you possibly can. We need your input to
continue bringing you a magazine you'll not only enjoy reading, but will
benefit from as well.
MD's August/September issue leads off with Chet McCracken and
Keith Knudsen, the two formidable mainstays behind the ever-identi-
fiable and infectious rhythm of the Doobie Brothers.
Joe Cocuzzo, one of the most highly skilled sidemen in the business,
has some not often heard, yet highly perceptive comments we can all
learn from. And Ed Greene, who holds the distinction of being one of the
most recorded drummers in the L. A. studio clique, describes the climb
and what it's like once you're there.
A member of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra for over 20 years,
leading percussionist Morris Lang supplies us with some insight into
today's developing symphonic player.
Our recent visit to Star Instruments, innovators in electronic per-
cussion, resulted in an inside report on one of the percussion world's
fastest growing companies. And MD's historical perspective of The
Great Jazz Drummers moves into Part 2. It's the late 20's and Chicago-
style drumming now takes precedence. We'll follow the evolution into
the big band era of the 30's and learn about the important drummers who
made the great bands swing. It's all here in words, music and some fabu-
lous photographs.
As usual, our column roster—covering everything from David Garibal-
di's mind blowing routines for rock drummers, to Rob The Drummer
from Sesame Street—rounds out the issue. Enjoy.
