-I'm a bit late on this, but Us & Them's debut full-length is out. You can pick it up on iTunes or from their Big Cartel store here. This is an energetic, hook-laden pop/rock album with nine tracks of potent drummin' from yours truly!

-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.
