Met John out in The Loop in STL while I was walking my dog. He approached me and asked to pet my dog. After chatting for a while he told me to come down to The Pageant that same day because his band Black Wild Cherry was opening up for Theory of a Deadman. I didn't have money at the time to buy a ticket so he put me on their guest list. Hell of a nice guy and one hell of a drummer!
Well said our friend! There are tons of styles and a small number of drummers that plays those styles well. John Fred is great at what he does and that's why we love him besides him being a southern gentlemen of course. :) Thanks for liking the drums, too!
It doesn't hurt that he's an offspring of the Kentucky Headhunters - his dad is rhythm guitarist Richard Young and Richard's brother, Fred, is the band's drummer. Fred, in turn, is John Fred's uncle!!! :-)
Great playing! Love DW's I let my collector’s series kit go and bought a pdp and I have to say the pdp sounds just as good. Unfortunately money got even tighter and I had to sell that too! Perhaps someday I will get another. DW is just an all around amazing Drum Company that makes killer sounding and looking kits!
That's John Fred for ya. Always breaking something. lol I love ya bro. Keep on playin' the drums like nobody else can! They ain't got nothin' on you. You and your uncle Fred are the best drummers I've ever known, the best ever actually!
You can special order the DW kit you desire from any of our authorized DW drums dealers. Just make sure you tell your dealer you are ready to Special Order a DW kit from them and they should walk you you through the rest of the process. Thanks! locator(dot)dwdrums(dot)com/drum/
I can't believe people are hating on John Fred! Maybe you like a different style of music but this guy is awesome at what he does! The world is too full of hate if drummers are gonna start bitchin on one another! On a seperate note though.. That's a damn fine kit!
He's rocking and people hating. No matter what he plays like, I saw this guy live at the festival here in Europe. He seems he made it and for me that's the only important thing- that his drumming works for the bad and they sound good enough to be touring all around the world. so stop overanalyzing and pay some respect to the dude.
The mind makes our members produce sustain, groove and the necessary precision. You can hear the weight, stiffness and acoustic whistle just to sweeten the palate therefore, to remember the past, present and future ... This set's mark different stages of ease and pleased to be Partel performance.Me this project and I lavante hear the wonderful custom set.s. .. I admire every morning "for his work of art. I love them
zangromar I totally agree. Speed and technique are so closely related it's not even funny. You can't have one without the other. They ONLY come together.
He may be playing crazy fast here. But check out some of his drumming in BSC songs. There are some videos behind the drum kit of him playing live. He is insane.
I don't get why people have categorised drummers into two groups, technique and speed. If you play quick, it means you have no technique, if you play with good technique you can't have a good paced playing style but as proved here, you CAN have both!
i would like to hear those drums ( jazz series, rock sizes) with someone playing well you know...to hear the drums and the awesome tone and all the details, he have a great talent but for present the drums....i don't know!!!

We love you, too!! We love your combination of words!
Awesome the whole way through, but that last shot with his feet.
WHAT?! I'm going to learn it right now!!
1080 24 Frames our friend! The slow motion was shot at 60 frames slowed to 24! Thanks for watching!
We appreciate it! Well that's if you are talking about the video or the drums. If it's the drummer we are sure John appreciate that, too!
Glad you are liking it!
Keep on drumming is all we ask! We'll be here to make you a kit when you are ready!
Great playing! Love DW's I let my collector’s series kit go and bought a pdp and I have to say the pdp sounds just as good. Unfortunately money got even tighter and I had to sell that too!

Very true! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching and coming by!
He works hard and that is why he sounds the way he does!
That's John Fred for ya. Always breaking something. lol I love ya bro. Keep on playin' the drums like nobody else can! They ain't got nothin' on you. You and your uncle Fred are the best drummers I've ever known, the best ever actually!
Always so articulate Chris! Thanks!
DW Drums amazing to watch live. such energy. kit sounds great. I rent a dw every time I'm in Europe.
That last lick he did at the very end of all that was impressive.
It is a Jazz series kit with Jazz series shells! Just has a hard hitting rock drummer playing them. :)
Killer drumming! The best natural sounding drums in the world. I´m with you Guilherme Tófano, I´m a absolute brasilian DW fan!
He is a great drummer and a great guy for sure!
You're an ANIMAL! Brother, I'd love to see you at a gig with a good old dirty ROCK trio. Thanks for laying it down. 🥁🤘
So much energy! This is how rock drummers should be!
that's insane. You may not like his style, but the guy has talent. And he's on the video, so if DW likes him, that can't be all bad.
Rocking on a jazz kit!
Thanks so much for the info! This puts it all together!
Thanks! Cheers to you!

Ok glad you found out!
Not sure! Same area though!

We're trying! Thanks so much!
The best drums ever!! I'll have my DW as soon as possible! The only issue is that I live in Brazil
He's having fun, too!

Thanks!
We want you, too!
You got it!
Amazing color

This guy's playing is VIOLENT!
Had to pause for a quick breather. Awesome!!
Hitting hard with the Bonzo influence!

Actually, Fred Young of The Kentucky Headhunters is his uncle. His father is Richard Young, rhythm guitarist and vocalist of The Kentucky Headhunters.
Transparent Orange Lacquer!
You know it!
The kick drum sounds great! DW it's the best soun! 👊
Hi!! Great stuff as always!! :D
I would like to kindly know which video settings have been used on your GoPro to shoot this video. Thanks a lot!!
Great job sounds really good
Didn't notice he was using his stick to hit the kick there at the end! That was sick.
Awesome sounding kit, I have been wanting to hear the jazz series rocked out. Dose anyone know what the sizes are
Very true!
True!
JFY Monster drummer,You can tell when its in your DNA.
Thank god for the zildjian endorsement
A monster and a half!
On it's way we promise!
zangromar I totally agree. Speed and technique are so closely related it's not even funny. You can't have one without the other. They ONLY come together.
He is his uncle. Found out watching the Vater sticks feature about John Fred.
He may be playing crazy fast here. But check out some of his drumming in BSC songs. There are some videos behind the drum kit of him playing live. He is insane.
Omg !!! I discover he play with a simple pedal and not a double !!! Crazy
yeah, sure, very intense drummer and fun to watch and listen.
Close but different!
That's all he needs!
We have no issues with his technique! :)
One foot's enough for this guy!
Like them, pretty cool.. The Maple Mahogany is still hard to beat IMO.. I'll have a set one day..
Cheers, great drums you guys are producing...
thanks for the reply :)
Have you activated the spot meter? Thanks
Are you planning to make new showroom video?
Rocket fast!
"Jazz" series....
Haha! He hits hard!
Where's the best place to buy Dw drums?
I want that kit.
you play drum like the great bonzo...like you stile ...salute
A very... unique style. Not like I've ever seen hundreds of death metal drummers flail their heads and arms before XD
Holy shit, that tom run at 1:26
eeeemm, do you know cobus? he does it 20 times better....
his speed is incredible *-*
I don't get why people have categorised drummers into two groups, technique and speed. If you play quick, it means you have no technique, if you play with good technique you can't have a good paced playing style but as proved here, you CAN have both!
what the size of the rack tom
Slop master
dude, do you have any idea who this guy is?
Awesome playing- no need to hit the cymbals that hard haha
how can i order my own dw collectors kit?
Oh noooo I ignored it... JFY left Ludwig... oh man...
Well. Gotta be fairplay. DW just added a great drummer to their panel.
Noise
I have money, where do I put it?
Hello, We have attached a link to our dealers. They will get pricing information for you. Thank you for checking. dwdrums.com/dealers
I am so confused with the drum sizes. If it's 16x18, 16 is the diameter? and 18 is the height?
+Lone Owl 18 is the diameter
What model go pros did you use
The Hero3
i would like to hear those drums ( jazz series, rock sizes) with someone playing well you know...to hear the drums and the awesome tone and all the details, he have a great talent but for present the drums....i don't know!!!
everybody has their own drumming style and technique. drumming would absolutely suck if every person played the same.
Yeah, it was sloppy but the DW drums sound great.
Does the description say "jazz series kit" ? Haha, great drumming though
I want play on your drums too:/ :D great!
The kit will be fine...it's the heads that I feel sorry for.
alfflash, you say that with all of the metalcore drummers playing DW
Lol u think he's metal I want whatever weed ur tokin that kinda fucked up brain high where u say completely stupid shit is the best
*metalcore
yep! thats his dad
