Hi John, looking forward to your visit to Melbourne in August. Just wondering if you have time to play any other venues apart from the AUD Weekend? Cheers, Aaron

John thank for your time you gave me during my lesson with you in Orlando last Friday. I had a great time Dick Bonenfant

Hi John, I read your article on tuning drums. I understand that you can either tune top and bottom heads the same, or the top higher or lower then the bottom head. You mentioned tuning the resonate head a minor 3rd lower or higher the batter head. How do you achieve that? I'm using a drum dial. I also have an Evens Torque key that I'm still learning how to use. Please write me back and explain how you tune it a minor 3rd lower or higher. I'm guessing you have to know what note to tune the batter head to. I might need to know how to do that too.

Hi John I have all your wonderful books and DVDs if you include Steve Smiths. I also bought thr Modetn Drummer 2011 DVD purely for your Master Class. Master Class is excellent but am somewhat disappointed that these are only 2 movement exercises listed!

Hey John...you have obviously transcribed so many of the great drummers. Years ago I used a walkman to get ideas down and I know there are more updated ways of doing this, any suggestions? Thankyou for your time, Jeff
