"Hey all you drummers! I'm taking my drum lessons on the road. While I'm on tour with Destruction I'll be offering private lessons for the dates listed below. Some days might not be do-able due to scheduling. They will be on a first come first serve basis and limited to two lessons per show day. If you are interested send me a personal message via Facebook for further details.Looking forward to sharing my drum knowledge with some of you out on the road very soon. Cheers!"

Destruction frontman Schmier has checked in from Lörrach, Switzerland where the band has been rehearsing for the tour:
"Randy Black killed it at the rehearsal for the North American tour this week. Thanx for the great times bro! And yes - some of you might think it feels weird to thrash with a different drummer and it sure does ....but a real pro like him, so well prepared, will impress all the fans for sure: Bass drum power from hell!"Black recently issued the following statement: "I take this as a very cool challenge and an honour to step in on drums for Vaaver to help the guys out and be a part of this great tour! I can assure the Destruction fans that I’m working my ass off getting the drum parts tight and brutal!"
