Billy Ficca
Too Busy For Television
After Television emerged from New York’s punk underground in 1977 with their landmark Marquee Moon album—a sly balance of dissonance and melody, which became a template for The Strokes, Sonic Youth, Interpol, and countless others—they never really toured much.

Anton Fig
Mr. Late Night Has His Day
For the past four years, Anton Fig has been hard at work conceiving and
creating his first solo effort, Figments. Thanks to a bank loan (so he could record a good portion of it at home with Pro

Jon Fishman
Pork Evolution
"If someone had told me all the things that would happen in my life in 2001, I
wouldn't have believed them," says Jon Fishman, the famed Phish sticksman. After the band's 1999 New Year's
concert, where tens of thousands of fans spent the weekend listening to the band play for hours at a time, then their summer and
fall 2000 tours, Jon and his partners in improv decided to take a break. They had been touring and recording for seventeen years
and "found it difficult to top themselves."

Alexis Fleisig
Series 7 Drumming

Sam Fogarino
Rock 'N' Roll Antics
Drums are the heart
of rock 'n' roll - even Huey Lewis will
cop to that. So why were the
first forty seconds of Interpol's 2002 debut, Turn On The Bright Lights, missing
drums?

Nathan Followill
Southern Accents
Even strapping young lads like Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill aren’t immune to the aches and pains of touring. It’s par for the course when you’re a grizzled road dog by your mid-twenties.

Jake Fowler
Mad At Gravity's
As if recording
wasn't tough enough, imagine having to play drums with a
bad cold and
having your mouth covered with duct tape. Alas, that's where Mad At
Gravity's Jake Fowler found
himself while recording the band's debut
release, Resonance.

Jim Fox
Riding Again With The James Gang
As The James Gang’s founder and only constant member during their 1966–76 run, you would think their criminally unheralded drummer, Jim Fox, would know if he owned the rights to his band’s name.

Danny Frankel
Vibration
Of Sound
Drummer/percussionist Danny Frankel lives in a world of sounds. His latest
release, The Vibration Of Sound
(Transparency), is a collage of organic percussion sounds. As he

woodpeckers. They are natural percussion."

Josh Freese
In Demand
Looking at Josh Freese across a Starbucks table, it's hard to believe I've known
him since he was eleven years old. Suddenly it struck me that he was then the same age that my son is now, and the comparison
was mind-blowing. At eleven years old, Josh was already fiercely into his instrument. He had a career focus and a true
commitment. When I met this kid, I wondered to myself if his ambition would last.

Josh Freese

Ian Froman
Every Note Counts
Ferocious!
That's Ian Froman live with Dave Liebman, Rick Margitza,
and his own
band, Metalwood. If Froman kept a proper scrapbook, instead of
envelopes strewn about his Greenwich Village
co-op, it would be bulging
with clippings exclaiming much the same thing.

Wayne Fullwood
A Mean, Simmering Groove
We Are Little Barrie,
the debut release by London trio Little
Barrie, has drawn enthusiastic
critical comparisons to the early Rolling Stones and James Brown for
its irresistible groove that
swings between '60s-inspired soulful rock
and funky blues.
