my drum teacher was a pupil of John Wadham

Damn that guy was unbelievable, when I first started playing about 10yrs ago I heard how I'd have to get a lesson with him if I wanted to be serious about my drumming. Now I wish I had listened. He was effortless in that video, fantastic. I'm genuinely gobsmacked.

He stills sounds sounds so damn good, even though he's been gone a few years now. Sadly missed, but never forgotten.

Are you not confusing John Wadham with Jon Murray.Jon was the owner and teacher in The Dublin Drum Centre.(56 Lr.Camden St.This was a drums only shop.Jon gave many great saturday afternoon sessions along with Drummer Ian McGarry.Jon was one of the best teachers around & and a great musican and talent.Sadly Missed.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw your post! Jon was so brilliant! I don't think there are any clips of his playing. I have tapes of two clinics he did: one in the Drum Centre, the other in the Talbot Hotel in Wexford. He was such an amazing man, and so damn funny. I remember during one clinic upstairs in the Drum Centre, his small tom kept slipping down, and he muttered: "If I get my hands on the CHANCER who sold me this stand..." Everyone just broke up laughing!

Lol, I'm kind of jealous.

Is he just playing the drums or the whole band!?

I don't understand the question!

It was rhetorical, I meant it as a compliment to the man. If he played it alone with no other instruments you'd still know what tune he's playing by from his hits etc.
