Hey John, Just got the MD 2011 festival DVD. I bought it spicifically for you clinic(masterclass). Really ejoyed your presentation! However a little disapointed the handout was not included in the ebook, only selections of it is. Is there any way of getting a copy of the full hand out? Thanks for all of your wonderful drumming! Cheers!

John, thanks for bringing the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra to Madison, WI, for yesterday's clinic and concert. You guys sounded fantastic and gave super good advice in the clinic! Thanks for all your excellent books, cd's, and DVD's, too. They have helped me tremendously to improve my drumming and musical skills.

Hi john, I just wanted you to know I picked up "The Art of Bop Drumming" about six weeks ago. It has inspired me to learn something that i brushed off many years ago as a young boy taking lessons. I find myself staying up late playing after the wife has gone to bed just to go thru another lesson or two form your book. Thanks, Bob
