[johnnyonline]

dad gave me a pair of sticks and some lessons for my 12th birthday. i loved it. haven't looked back since.

Nice.  Sounds almost a little David Jones-ish.

[johnnyonline]

Hey John,

First off I want to say that I absolutely love your playing and believe it or not it has influenced me a great deal. One of my favourite professional drummers is Danny Carey of Tool and for the longest time I thought bigger kit = more freedom. But, as time's gone on, I've discovered that at the end of the day I'm "home" on a small kit with some nice grooves. Keep up the beats man, they're truly inspirational for some of us out there!

"I have no idea what I'm going to play". Best way to play! Just let it flow and watch those creative juices kick in. Great clip here man. Looks like your having a lot of fun with it. Way cool. I say five stars just for the coolness alone. :-)

you're using a remo powerstroke on the batter and a remo ambassador hazy on the resonant

am i correct?

my drum teacher has a snare that sounds like this. and i don't really care for it all that much. he uses a ec2 etched on it by the way i'm not sure what for bottom head. i have a gretsch club jazz and i just find that i can give it a nice punchy tone no matter what tuning it's at. lucky for me i don't get this. mine has more attack

Also, I think I would compare you to Chris Pennie.
