About John Hoff

As an educator John has taught High School Marching Band, thousands of drum lessons and countless workshops and clinics. Many of his students have been accepted to prestigious collegiate music programs across the United States.

At the age of eighteen John joined the United States Air Force and served on Active Duty until the age of twenty-four. He enlisted from 2005-2011, but while deployed he always remembered to pack his trusty drum pad and sticks. When home he dedicated all his free time to gigging, studying and teaching.

In 2017 he co-wrote and tracked drums for the single “Can You Relate?” by The Great Enough. The single went on to earn over one million Spotify streams. As a performer he has shared massive stages, opening for industry leaders Imagine Dragons, Young the Giant, the Wallflowers, Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park), Matt and Kim and many others.
