Hey J, cool site man. Nice to browse, gives me some ideas of doing it for myself. Thanks for the advice the other
day, i sold my electric guitar so getting some cymbals next week. Just need to offload these speakers to get a decent
kit. I got an audition for a signed/touring band next week. Shitting myself tho, its a big step up from where i am now,
cool thing is, they are sponsored by mapex!!! Catch you soon. Rory
Thanks Marcus B

Dude, just thought I'd say I make dance music and drums still apply there so I found your drum sight interesting.
Found your appeal for musical intruments very inspring, drum lessons so far as clear as day but I'm not very religious
but the argument is one people need to have without trying to kill each other for having different views. So good on ya. garethbinks1978@yahoo.co.uk 16-01-09
Hey I just wanted to say your site is great. You have a great teaching style for drums that makes it very easy for
me to understand. Keep up the great work! Brian
Thanks WWWboi

Nice info site on drumming, as I spent more time here and got distracted from what I was looking for. As the
famous line goes, "I will return!" e buzz E. Buzz Miller
Great site jason ... Yet another example of how cool it is to be a drummer !! James (wilsonbangy) wilsonbangy
Excellent source of quality material! I took drum lessons beginning at age 11 and did the usual junior high
and high school band programs, marched for a season at university in their marching band, then hung up the sticks to start
a business career. Now I am finding out how much I have missed drumming these many years. Your site has given
me great information and lessons from which to apply and learn since I am just getting back into it. Thank you! David

I have been playing drums now for 35 years. I quit playing out about 8 years ago and recently started playing
again. I forgot how much I missed it. One of my sons is a drummer and many of the things you mention in your tips section
are things I have been trying to get across to him. I remember when I thought you had to fill every measure with
something. Play for the song!! Great website!! Thanks, Jerry Jerry Hollifield
Cheers I have been looking for a transcription to 50 ways for ages and the tutorial is excellent
Finally I am getting somehere with this difficult piece
I will be back (Arnie)

hi Jason! Cool website. Bruno Van der Stichele
i saw you drumming at leytonstone this weekend. that was a really wicked drum solo.

I came to your site because of your John Bonham commentary. Very nice. The most well put take on John
that i have ever read. By accident I also read the religion debate. Wow. Your words about Christ and the
word of God REALLY MOVED ME. Thanks Man. You are really a great inspiration. In a way I never expected. I'm a drummer,
but I got a whole lot more from your website than drumming. I'll have to re-read your comments from time
to time when things don't seem so clear. Thanks, and God bless you.

Hey Jason...nice job on the site. I am looking for the Fool In The Rain sound bite...can't find it...help?

for hitting the snare. great job and thanks for doing this all. mike(awful!drummer)
i finally got round to checking out out your site and i must say i'm impressed. you're a good teacher in real life and
on the internet. i hope the djembe lessons are going swell.

Very interesting and informative and enjoyable site Jason. 40 year drumming vet here and you have
explained many things that are useful to beginners as well as seasoned players. very nice indeed. Keep up the good work.
Nutha, great stuff you got here man. Dom(zildjianman1023)
Great site Jason! I'm a fellow percussionist and work with a company called NOTION music. We've got a program
right in which we're looking for teachers to give teachers a copy of our newest software "PROGRESSION."
It is labeled as "software for guitar," but believe me it's already made my lessons infinitely easier. Please
check out our site and contact me if you're interested in more information! Kyle Poehling kyle@notionmusic.comhttp://products.notionmusic.com/progression

Very cool site... I am looking forward to working on many things you have here. Keep drumming... this is great
stuff! Ralphieboy
Hey Jason,
I just saw your "Drumming Triangle" and see a glaring hole in it! You need a "Business" aspect to it (perhaps
in the "craft" section). Drumming success for me, as an above average, musical guy, has always been about being
dependable; not getting drunk during a gig, showing up on time, having quality gear, not causing riffs in the band, being
sound mentally and physically, etc. I get more work filling in for the loser regular drummer than I do with my
own projects!
See you around,
Stu (now in Austin, TX) Stu_Strib

Nice work Jason. While the rest of us sold out on our artistic talents and became corporate wasps, you continue to
live the dream. Beautiful, original website. Enjoyed all the poetry, videos and photos as well as all the links.
Well done!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

Just read your article about "Can I have a go on your kit?". Some useful tips. Man I regret letting that guy have
a go. Like you say, once they're on there how do you get 'em off? You've been polite but sadly they turn
out to be complete jerks. Never again. Dave Ersatz
For such a young fellow you do quite an articulate job of describing John Bonham and his drumming.
To sum it up, one might say Bonham 'was himself' That is exactly what is most difficult to duplicate. While his, and
virtually everyone else's moves are duplicates, the combination of which is all ones own in terms of where, how and when
it is placed and while it's fun and instructive to learn someone like Bonham's work(by plyaing it) it's no good making
our future work a carbon copy of his. He himself said as much in describing his observing Ginger Baker stating it was
no good doing what Baker was doing. Bonham thus went on to put his own personal stamp, his own drumming personality upon
his work with Led Zeppelin and we note it breathlessly ever since. Hats of to Bonzo. Derek
Those pictures you made were amazing, very cool! Tama Player (Drummerworld Forum)

Hi Jason, just found your website. Thought you might be interested to know that I became the WFD
fastest hands in the UK at the Psalm Drummers 'Heart to Drum' Day in Reading on Saturday. I hit 1060 in the final. It would
be good to chat. You can reach me at www.myspace.com/bengriffiths

I’ve been battling with that samba pattern.
I could do it with normal hihats but not with the accent. Your breakdown really helped me. Thanks a billion.

Wow your site has changed a lot since I last
visited. Kudos. It’s much easier on the eyes and the material is great. Keep it up. Niko
Chuck
S. here in Los Angeles. I'd like to make myself available to those on Drummerworld who may have questions for me about
"latin" music, and other drumming ideas and concepts. How would that work? I was looking at your mozambique lesson.
A long time ago I developed similar ideas to what you have there...the Latin Rudiments. Great minds think alike! Hear
from you soon Chuck S
Moving
ahead nicely my friend. As Dom is want to say. Onwards and Upwards Roger Strange
Yo yo! I tracked you down.. Remember me?
South.. Concussion girl bev s
great tips thank you gary pinkham
This is really useful - I'm struggling with hi-hat accenting, so this was good start. By the way you should put "drum"
, "lessons" or something in the tags of your videos so more people would find them. Your web site's really good! wolvo66
Hi Jason, I love your site...the lady
in the kitchen with the knife is great! I thought your paradiddle page was great... I like your drumsetup too...cool... I
listened to Swarm's version of Play that funky music...very solid drumming...! And I thought your lead singer was great! Anyway,
just wanted to say hello to a fellow drummer! Best to you and yours! Peace, Michael You can check out my kit if
you want at: www.ambadextro.com
