Claus Hessler - "Jim is like an alive, walking, talking archive
of (not only) drum history and always
willing to share his knowledge with anyone - anytime. I don't believe
there is anyone around who knows more about playing technique than Jim.
Period."Above that he is
one of the few persons in our time who has not just seen and experienced
how the drumset developed - he has been a major influence in the
evolution of the art of modern drumset playing. I sincerely hope that
drummers of all ages and stages don't stop to realize the true values
behind his knowledge and "drumatic" (or better "drum-addict"?) wisdom. I
owe him more than I can say ..."
Paul Hose - “I have known Jim as a friend and as a teacher since
1996. His contribution to the drumset art-form has affected all drummers
everywhere whether they realize it or not. He is an inspiration to all
of us. In particular, I treasure the quieter moments Jim and I have had
over dinners across the world.”
Julie Grocki - "Jim Chapin has been a teacher, mentor and friend
of mine for nearly 30 years. His brilliance, enthusiasm, passion and
mastership of drumming are evident in all that he has produced and
published. I highly recommend all of his materials for any serious
drummer who wishes to develop to his/her fullest potential. One cannot
be led astray. Jim has shined since he first picked up a pair of
drumsticks and the world has shined all the more because of him. Happy
Drumming!" |
