John played his first snare drum at six years old when his school music teacher brought one to music class. She let the students play the drum while she played Yankee Doodle on the piano. John played the correct rudimental pattern to that song never having had a lesson. His music teacher praised him for his natural ability. John went on to learn to read music and play professionally. His first paid gig was at 18 years old and he has been playing professionally ever since. He began instructing drum set and snare in his early 20's. John was named as one of Boston's top drummers at the 'Best Drummer in Boston' competition in 1990.
