"Sad to let everyone know that John Cummings passed away Friday night, Baisa wrote in a Facebook post made on Sunday (Aug. 31). I hope he's in a better place now. He was a great drummer and artist. Although he was complicated he was the real thing. RIP The cause of death has not been made public at this time."
"Cummings formed The Odd Numbers with two of his fellow alums from Leigh High School in San Jose Baisa and bassist Dave Miller in 1988. The trio went on to release its debut album About Time in 1990 and quickly garnered a sizable fanbase that appreciated The Odd Number's mix of power pop, mod rock, '60s soul and punk. I wanted to have a good time playing rock n' roll music, traveling around,"
