This is the January 2006 issue of Modern Drummer, an American drum magazine. The cover features Brian Blade for the magazine's 30th anniversary, and the back cover is an advertisement for Zildjian K Constantinople, also featuring Brian Blade. Brian Blade in his 30s looks so young. Here is the table of contents: ■MD Turns 30! ■MD looks at 10 Semi-Pro Drumsets ■The Future of Drumming ■Improve Your Grip ■How'd They Do That? ■Stop the Pain! The main feature is an article about the magazine's 30th anniversary. There's also an article that examines grip, referencing legends like Steve Gadd and Buddy Rich, and a lineup of 10 drum sets for semi-pros that, regardless of whether they're truly semi-pro, feel very much of their time, making it a very satisfying read. And best of all, the 30th-anniversary reader raffle prize is an iPod Shuffle, which is great. There is a small tear on the back cover.
