Very sad, this is the fella that was excellent at the Moeller technique isn't it?

Always a bad thing to have such an influencial teacher pass.

ooooooo....
Wow...
That guy really deserves his own website.
Such a shame.
I bet Jim could be me in a battle with his snare drum vs. my whole kit!
I bet that snare is worth more than my whole kit!
I'll miss him. For sure.
