| Hello John, im practice Art Of Bop Druminng now and i wonder how i should take knowledge from the book into real jazz playing with the band. I just dont know what and how to do in band, especially how to communicate with soloist. I know that i should listen to a lot of jazz music which i do, but i cant really get what drummers which i listen to are doing in the moment and why they are doing it.. Id be happy if you give me some advice. |

| Hello John,
Just a note to say I've been enjoying your Bop Drumming book. I've been playing 40+ years and needed a new challenge. Your book has given me that. I teach as well and am using your book with my students. Great job on the book. I only wish you would have recorded all of the material in the comping sections. It is fun to play along with you on those exercises. Thanks again - Joe |

| Dear John,
I have the pleasure to work on your medias, I have the art of Bop Drumming and the master drummer video.
In your book, I am currectly practising the samba pattern pp. 59 and I like to know if you would advise to play a slight accent on the bass drum on the 2nd beat of each measure to have a better authentic groove ?
Many thanks in advance for your help

| John,
It was great to finally meet you in person a few weeks ago at Building 24 in Wyomissing, PA. I enjoyed the show tremendously and it was an honor to finally meet you in person. It's been 5 years since I've discovered your publications, and it has improved my playing hundredfold. Thank you for the fantastic explanations, and constant inspiration that you give to (I am certain) all of your students around the world.
Please check out my website SadikDrums.com whenever you have a free moment in your busy schedule.
Best Regards,
