Hi Steve: This is a great blog! I love the interviews with Steve Brewster & comments about John Hammond … you did a great job. My wife Stephanie Bennett used to write for Modern Drummer back in the day (the 80’s & 90’s). She tried to pitch an article with Steve back in the mid-90’s but they didn’t bite! But I had the privilege of speaking with Steve for an hour on the phone and he was a great guy to speak with about drums and music.
Also for my first real recording project which was with a band from NJ that went to Nashville to record. John Hammond played the last four songs on the album because I was not quite ready. I have to tell you I was humbled, yet it was the best drum lesson I had in my life. He is an awesome guy and player as well. My wife interviewed John and his brother Mark Hammond for (I think) the May 1988 issue of Modern Drummer. Anyhow — keep it up, this is a great blog.
God bless,
Earl

Thanks for the kind words, Earl. Glad you’re enjoying the site. Your wife wrote for Modern Drummer? Nice. Does she still have connections with that publication?

Hi Steve:
Her last connection to MD was the editor Bill Miller who just passed away in Dec 2008. So, I’d say no, but she does knows how to query an magazine because she written for many publications including CCM Magazine, Focus on The Family, and for Breakpoint magazine on-line. Please write me privately and I can put you in touch with her about the process of getting published. It is not that hard if you have a gift for writing, which you seem to have.
God bless, Earl

Hey Steve,
Stumbled upon this awesome blog while looking up some Dave King related info!
I’m a UK based musician and had my world rocked a in 2003 upon hearing The Bad Plus… leading to happy apple, love-cars, halloween alaska, gang font… That’s so cool you studied with him. I have about a million questions regarding his lessons… any material you could recommend for study would be so much appreciated.
Thanks. A new subscriber, Dan
