William F. Ludwig III, better known in the music industry as B-3, took a change in career path in 1990 to exercize his other love in life: Cooking. After a few years in the live music/nightclub business, followed by five years in corporate catering, Ludwig could not get drums and drumming out of his soul. When he heard of Aldridge’s desire to free himself from the business aspects of producing the magazine, Ludwig met with him and both agreed that this direction would be the best for the future of Not So Modern Drummer.
 The content and direction of the magazine will continue in the same direction as in the past, but with a renewed dedication to providing more content and increased frequency of issues. Founder and previous owner Aldridge, will continue to edit NSMD magazine, while Ludwig will take over the day to day business management of the company. In addition, William F. Ludwig II will also be contributing to the magazine. The vast amount of knowledge of drums and drumming that the senior Ludwig brings to the magazine will undoubtedly be a welcome addition.
