There are also interesting stories on touring, gigging, recording, real life examples this alone sets this drum book apart from the rest."

Joe Franco (author of "Double Bass Drumming", GOOD RATS, TWISTED SISTER, MARIAH CAREY, VINNIE MOORE): "Some drummers just have a thing. I've watched John grow as an artist since he was 15 years old. He is truly a drummer's drummer, but what makes him stand out from the pack is creativity. He is constantly driven and responds to any challenge. John has a lot to say here. He projects a great personality in his writing, playing and story-telling, making this one of the most enjoyable texts I've ever seen."
Nicko McBrain (IRON MAIDEN): "Johnny Mac is one mighty fine player. You can't go wrong learning the tricks if his trade. This book reflects Johnny's way of explaining the finer points of our trade. It has his sense of humor and makes it fun to learn. After all, that's what it's all about. Have fun!!!"
Bobby Jarzombek (HALFORD, SABASTIAN BACH, SPASTIC INK): "I love John's playing. He's got that 'old-school power thing', the finesse of an orchestral percussionist, and the imagination to put it all together to create some of the most KILLER drumming you'll ever hear."
