The internationally renowned drummer and teacher/mentor of thousands, has passed away in Florida on July 4th 2009.The father of drum independence aptly left us on Independence Day just shy of his 90th birthday.
Jim's books and his instruction of the Moeller method have taken him around the world and inspired the lives of thousands of people.
I have been lucky enough to study with Jim since 2001 and he remains one of my biggest sources of inspiration. His friendship and tuition continue to inspire me daily in all areas of my life and am I lucky enough to be able to pass on his knowledge to future generations.
Jim Thank you for all you've given us. You will always be loved and never forgotten.
Jack
