I’ve probably seen John Herndon play drums eighty times. He’s a kick ass drummer. He never seems to repeat himself and runs the gamut stylistically. It’s always striking to witness the literal and figurative momentum that he produces.

Delighted to share a mix of his with you. It’s got soul. The art is embedded into the mp3, but I also posted it here cause it’s fucking awesome.
