About me:
Johnny "ROCKER" Popp started Playing Drums at a very early age, eventualy going on to major in music at the Dana School Of Music at Youngstown State University. He holds both a Bachelor of Science in Applied Science, and an Associate of Applied Science degrees. Currently, Johnny is endorsed by PEACE DRUMS AND PERCUSSION, TRX CYMBALS, and DRUM STAR WEAR. He has played with many notables in the music world such as Rock-N-Roll Hall of Famers "LEFT END", and Auburn Records Recording Artist "WRETCH". Over the years, Johnny "ROCKER" Popp has appeared in Internationally Recognized Magazines such as: "MODERN DRUMMER", "DRUM!" Magazine, "Pizzazz" Magazine (click on "PICS" to read a few of the articles), along with numerous more local magazines and newspaper articles. Over his many years slammin' the skins, he has appeared on television shows and commercials, radio, internet, and has toured most of the United States playing shows. It does not matter to him the size of the show, from a packed night club of local customers to an arena full of thousands, because he has done both, it's just the love of playing! Johnny's many years of playing have given him the honor of sharing the stage with such great international acts as Bad Company, Quiet Riot, Blue Oyster Cult, Siliva, Jackyl, The Bullet Boys, The Godz, Ron Keel, Pretty Boy Floyd, Dave Grohl of Nirvana/ Foo Fighters, Kansas, Asia, Dennis DeYound of Styx, 38 Special, Survivor, Canned Heat, and CC Deville of Poison to name just a few. A big turning point for Johnny is when he got to see the great Buddy Rich play live in a small night club near his home town when he was around twelve years old, and then even getting to meet him after the show. Johnny's seat was within a few mere arms length from one of the greatest drummers of all time. When he saw him there on that stage swinging those sticks at lighting speed, he just knew he wanted to be up there doing the same thing too some day! Johnny is always looking to expand his horizons. He is very adaptable to any style of music, and is quite proficient in live, studio, sessions, or any other musical situation. Johnny is hoping to find other "like minded" musicians who share his love of offering music to the world.Click the link below to visit Johnny's home page!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY !
When the kites go flying,
and children do play,
the wind laughs and rumbles,
‘tis Happy Birthday.
Groove to some SWEET MUSIC Johnny!
Jazz Legend Miles Davis
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM MILES DAVIS ...
"Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself."
"I don't care if a dude is purple with green breath as long as he can swing."
"Do not fear mistakes, there are none."
"Don't play what's there, play what's not there."
“It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.”
~ Miles Davis
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
