FEATURING STEPHEN PERKINS – DRUMMER FOR JANE’S ADDICTION

He gives in-depth lessons for how to play “Been Caught Stealing” and “Mountain Song” by Jane’s Addiction and “Pets” by Porno for Pyros; then jams the tracks with Slipknot bassist Paul Gray.

This gives the student all angles in helping to absorb the info. IN ALL, it rocks!!” said drummer Stephen Perkins.
