ISBN-10: 1-57623-609-9 (Book & CD) ISBN-13: 978-1-57623-609-3 (Book & CD) About the Author John began playing drums at age eight, after receiving a snare drum as a gift. With the support, encouragement and patience of his parents, John and Mary Ann, he played in the school band and began drum lessons with a good local teacher, Tom Sicola. While under Tom's guidance, he gained control of the snare drum through work on the rudiments and reading. Eventually, he acquired a complete drumset and the lessons expanded to include "beats of the day,'' coordination and reading studies for the drumset. At age twelve, John began playing in rock bands and heard his first jazz recordings, the soundtrack to The Gene Krupa Story and Max Roach's Conversation. Two years later, he played his first "profes- sional" gig, which he obtained through an audition played over the telephone. John began studying with Joe Morello in 1971, :ifter meeting him at a drum symposium. John went on to attend the University of North Texas, where he was introduced to a larger world of music and percussion.
