I love John's playing. What I love the most about his playing is how the tackles hi-hat hits on the vocal's accents and things like that. I feel he's really playing the song while being totally aware of what the others are doing. He uses cymbales to match a lot of details. Listen to his playing and pay attention to this, he's amazing for that. It's all in the details with him.

I always wondered what music my drum teacher hears, till one day on which he had to pick up before our lesson, because my parents weren`t there to bring me. I was really into Slayer and thought this would be the heaviest shit around. As I sat down in the car this really technical and fast music played and I was shocked, but in the same moment totally blewn away. It was Entity by Origin and thats the story how my Drum Teacher got me into Technical Death Metal. Since that day John Longstreth was one of my drum heros and he seems like a really cool dude personally. :D

Been drumming since I was 12, I'm 30 now, but I cant thank him enough. Legit taught me the with his videos how to properly do heel toe just a few years ago. I struggled with my technique to increase my BPM over 210 and be clean. I did what he did.. I started all over and worked strictly on finding a new way to learn heel toe. Not only can I play around 230-240BPM clean af. But.. it's just alot easier. There's no effort anymore. It's not about the pedals. It's literally about the small details in your technique and when you can simply focus on the technique itself and not worry about wanting to play along with a metronome, my life changed behind the kit.
