I just love his style in LB, so unique. He almost doesn't do any classic rock fills on 16th & 32nd notes on snare and toms. Instead he does these awesome grooves and just little accents for fills.
John is cool. I wouldn't pay 100 bucks to study with anyone except for maybe Steve Gadd. All you would do with Gadd was talk because you would be too intimidated to play. I would anyways.
All you people saying that john blows just look up "the channel" from 2014 when they played it live. That breakdown is so tight. John definitely hasn't lost his touch
It may not seem lik it but if you are someone with some knowlege around the drums you would se he is actually a VERY professional drummer and probaply one of the best around on his area. And as he sais he may not be a perfect metal drummer of Jazz drummer but unlike a lot of other drummers this guy can do everything.
i'm soo not into limp bizki,but i read somewhere in some drum mag thats he play jazz before limp,and hes really into art blakey,and other jazz great....
"Travis Barker was a punk rock drummer, wich is a lot easier to play." It's what you make it. Either you play it simple, or a little more advanced. Travis chose the latter. John Otto and Travis Barker are both great drummers, stop comparing and just enjoy when they're playing.
John Otto is an accomplished drummer. He has some amazing beats and recordings. I think he plays well live too, my concern is if he can actually play jazz or Latin and teach it. He should have posted a vid demonstrating his knowledge of jazz playing or Latin. I saw some drum and bass, some hip jop and rock in this vid. I would like to hear him play be-bop, it would be interesting to hear.
yeah i've watched a couple of his vids, and while his recorded stuff sounds sick, his live stuff is REAL sketchy. definitely not in the pocket with his groove, sorry to say. people say what they want about travis barker, but he's a fuckin metronome, and keeps unbelievable time, even at blazing pace. I'd say he's more pro than otto.
Otto is a fantastic drummer. He should be
much bigger in the Drum World.
still waitin for the inauguration

He's using a bass drum as his floor time (far right)....now THAT is pretty cool.
I've been playing drums for a little over a decade and yet I still want John to be my teacher.
only thing barker could teach you is headbanging lol

You get what you pay for.

JO rocks the house.......i would pay that if i had the money for sure, he's amazing.

I agree :) but he still was and is my inspiration to drums!

@Leerlaufprozess are you kiddin? LB is coming back?

@germanzen new album in JUNE. "JAJAJA"
@blicky2blacky John played jazz before he was in Limp, its too bad theres no vids tho
@blacksunbadboy True that.
Man I can't find the school anywhere
Can anyone say "desperate for money"? LB is flushed and down the toilet, and the guy's grasping at straws trying to fill the time.
what happen to sabians
He's a really good drummer if you acually listen to LBs CDs, but the drum clips of him here aren't doing him justice.......at all.
