The Drum Shed Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Life after 30 or to be more accurate, after 50!

In this Episode we are joined by Lachlan Fletcher, who is a mate of ours from Australia and a Top Bloke!

We met Lachy (Pronounced Locky) in Mike Johnston's group of Mikeslessons Students on the Family Facebook Page that you can be added to when you become a member. This group has provided such support and bonded many of us. To the extent that we make friends with other drummers all around the world.

We also bring back Riza Jazeel and make this a 4 way chat about our drumming journey's and how we got into drumming right up to what we are doing now and working on..

This one did go on for over 2 hours so we cut it down to 2 episodes but both under the heading of Episode 9 The second part is ready and will pop up very soon afterwards so you don't have to wait too long.

Thanks for listening and please come back for more...

"Sessions" on the MLDC website and regularly gigs in London UK in a few bands.

In this episode Riza goes into detail about this year's Freddie Gee experience and he is clearly still buzzing!

There's a little banter in this one but all on good taste..

Check out Freddie Gee on Social Media

We talk a little about Sessions from Mike Johnston's Mikeslessons.com site as we are all at difference stages of Sessions.

Sessions is a section of Mike's site where you learn a song and Mike directs you with what and how to play.

The list of songs run from 1 - 30 although the last few sessions are still being recorded by Mike.

It is certainly worth checking out!

Thanks for listening

Matt & Andy !

Recorded 12th August 2024

This Week we talk to Till Gerke from Germany who is certainly one to watch! A young drummer and drum teacher who has just returned from California from a life changing Drum Camp with Mike Johnston!

He absolutely LOVED it and this may be of interest if you're considering making the trip to Mikeslessons Drum Camp In Folsom CA. He mentions "Suffering" a lot but that is all in good humour, to demonstrate you go to camp to work and improve as well as enjoy the company, drums and matcha.. ;)

We kick off with an amazing solo by Till, recored at Camp in Mikes Studio. He sent us the file after we recorded the episode so we didn't speak about it sadly but WOW! its fabulous !!

We will have a chat about it another time but wanted you to enjoy it now :)

We know Till through the Mikes Lessons website and family Facebook group that all MLDC (Mikes Lessons Dot Com) students are invited to join. It is a really supportive spot on the internet where other students and Mike post up their challenges, ask questions, share their successes and new gear. I almost think the subscription to MLDC is worthy of being part of that group alone, but we get so much more from Mike Johnston.

We are not paid to promote this but generally love being part of it so go check it out at www.mikeslessons.com

Till, is one of the Advanced members of the group but there are all levels there so you don't need to worry...

Check out Till on instagram @till_gerke

Thanks for listening and enjoy!
