Hey John! im 19 (been playing for a few years) and I recently started playing out of stick control seriously, but i have only recently discovered the concept of the free stroke (i saw a video of you teaching it at a clinic on youtube). the question i have is if it is worth it for me to abandon all my former technique to learn this stroke. as you can imagine, thats a lot to swallow. thanks for the help! heres a link of a short clip of what i do everyday, tell me what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSqjSYwEcXE

Dear John, I was wondering do you do private instruction. I understand you are busy I live in the western mass area. Thank You for the great drumming and books. Best Wishes James

Dear John, I'm very interested in buying a copy of your wonderful DVD "The Master Drummer". The problem is I live in Barcelona, Spain, and this product is definitely not available in any drumshop in town (or even in Spain). Could you tell me if its available in any music store in Europe, so that I can purcharse it on line? I would really appreciate any information you could give me. Thanks in advance. Thanks also for being such a great inspiration! All the best, Javier del Castillo L.
