Bob Steve's on tour right now with Alan Pasqua and Derek Oles with singer Janis Siegel. I saw them at Birdland with Ben Street on bass a few years ago. Pretty amazing jazz trio, always serving the music.
Ok to make it clear:
If you google Steve Hass Drummerworld Website comes up - NOT the forum.
When the attack came in there were 18'500 guests on the forum constantly same time for some days - and all visiting this Steve Hass Thread. My Server Experts had no other possibility to delete that thread or closing the forum for some time.
So we decided to go the easier way.
The 5 or six visitors from Modern Drummer are welcome and really no problem!!
Bernhard
Bernhard probably knows how these numbers crunch as well as anyone on the Internet. I'm with him on this one. Funny you mentioned HOD. I assumed from the start this was some mischief concocted by a handful of their more tragically hip forum guys...who probably thought is was funny to goof a little with a mainstream forum...not Holmes etc...but a lot of us know there are some characters at that place. Haas is great, but those numbers were fishy from the start.yes but when people google a drummer's name and go to their page on this site, they THEN go to the forum for discussion. You don't have to be directed to forum immediately to get here. It's easy to find once you're directed to the site. Not only that, but when you google simply STEVE HASS, this forum DOES come up as Steve's name is all over this thread. It comes up several times in fact as I just did it.
So really, the logic Bernard posted here doesn't make sense. What makes sense is that out of all the hundreds of thousands of readers of a global drum magazine, 18,000 came here. If you think about all the drummer's in the world that read MD or sought out Steve Hass or any other name drummer online, 18,000 is not a big number after a magazine promotion.
If you look at Hass' thread in the House Of Drumming website it has the 2nd highest views, the first being Vinnie Colaiuta.

I do know modern drummer sells many thousands of copies globally, otherwise they could not afford to make such an in depth publication.
