-I am featured in the 'Portraits' section of the May issue of Modern Drummer, which is currently on newsstands! I'm incredibly honored, as being in MD has been a small dream of mine since I began ardently reading it back in '95. MD was like the cooler older brother/sister I never had, that turned me onto countless good music and incredible musicians. A massive thank you to Adam Budofsky and Ken Micallef, of course, for the very flattering write-up/interview.

-I recently read a DIY-style e-book about home recording called "The Hackers Guide to Drum Recording", by Mike Gilliland. I think it's a fantastic resource for both amateur and budding engineers. There's a surplus of practical information up for grabs, and at a reasonable price. Please click here to check it out.

-I'm now on Pearl's website under their artist roster; click here or on the Pearl logo above to view it. It's a bit surreal seeing me on there! A massive thank you to my webmaster for composing the bulk of my bio, as I'm loathe to talk about myself in such a context!

-I am extremely elated to announce that I now endorse Pearl Drums, my favorite drum company since I began playing! Equipment specs are featured here. I've been doing sessions with my new drums and they sound exceptional, as optimum as a drum set can sound. I also plan on doing a video to showcase the versatility of my Reference Pure kit when I've an opening in my schedule. I'll be added to the artist roster on the Pearl website very soon!

-Nick Johnston's album is now available on iTunes, CDBaby and his personal website here. It's the first full-length completed out of my home studio.
