John's group drumming film, WE ALL JUST NEED TO DRUM!, was released at weneedtodrum.com on December 3, 2020. The film (the first of a 3-Part Series) is all about encouraging the entire world to use drumming as a healing tool to increase joy, reduce stress, and deepen our connection with one another. Group drumming currently takes place in over 10,000+ drum circles around the planet every month. With your help, John's goal is to make that a million drum circles by December 2025. The whole world needs to come together and start drumming! Health note: Group drumming can happen outside during the COVID-19 pandemic with people wearing masks and social distancing or simply playing together on a Zoom call where each person takes their turn leading the group with their own drum rhythm.

You can currently watch the film for free at weneedtodrum.com.

The soundtrack comes from John's recent Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound album, ENTRAINING, featuring Miles Davis keyboardist, Adam Holzman, and Sam Rivers bassist, Rich Damone. The album is a tribute to the great master drummer from Nigeria, Babatunde Olatunji. Click here to listen to the album on Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Spotify.
