Oliver Steidle
The drums, more than any other instrument, have developed significantly in recent years in terms of playing technique and musical function.

If, though, we take architect Leon Battista Alberti's (1404-72) definition “a man can do all things if he will," then labeling Schick with that epithet is not such a stretch. The German composer, musician, turntablist, visual artist, label chief, and inventor has ...
