A magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a rotating drum for conveying a magnetic recording medium and a magnetic head being mounted on the drum and kept in sliding contact with the magnetic recording medium. The magnetic head records signals on the recording medium in a recording mode and does not record signals on the recording medium in a recording pause mode. The magnetic head reproduces signals recorded on the recording medium in a motion picture reproducing mode and does not reproduce signals recorded on the recording medium in a still picture reproducing mode. The apparatus further includes a drum rotation control circuit for controlling the rotating speed of the drum. The drum is rotated at a lower speed during the recording pause mode than during the recording mode and is rotated at a lower speed during the still picture reproducing mode than during the motion picture reproducing mode. The lower speed of the drum is one of a constant speed, a decreasing ramp speed and an incrementally decreasing speed.
