Does anyone own a copy of the February 2011 issue of Modern Drummer?
Zach's name is on the cover...what did he talk about?

nope, but this appears to be the content:

a blurb

"...A lot of guys ask me how I started playing with that falling-down-the-stairs approach. That started back when I was playing the 55 Bar all the time. That room is brittle sounding to me. The drums don't breathe and they sound staccato, so whenever I played there I would tense up. I would try to go for something and I couldn't make it. So I decided to just play loose and off-kilter so that no one could accuse me of missing it. Let me really miss it so that it sounds intentional. That approach became more and more a part of my playing, but it came about because of the Sonics of that particular room.

When you find yourself playing in a venue where your kit just doesn't sound like your kit anymore, you can do one of two things. You can impose your will and ignore it, which will most likely end up sounding wrong. Or you can just accept that it's going to be a different kind of evening. It's still going to be good, but you're going to have to make adjustments to your playing, which I think is healthy. ..."
