Thanks for checking out episode 39 of Drum For The Song podcast featuring educator, clinician, public speaker and podcaster Mike Johnston!

In this episode, Mike and I have a great chat about his current drumming career which consists of running his drum education website mikeslessons.com, creating content for social media and his YouTube channel, hosting drum camps, playing drum clinics and festivals all over the world and co-hosting his amazing podcast with Busted drummer Eddy Thrower called 'Drum With Mike And Eddy.' Mike is full of wisdom from all areas of the drumming industry having initially been a touring drummer in a signed Nu Metal band called Simon Says and is very knowledgeable about the drum manufacturing industry having his own signature models with Vic Firth, Gretsch drums and Meinl cymbals.

Mike was one of THE FIRST educators who uploaded drum lessons to YouTube and his website is now considered to be the go to place for online lessons. You can subscribe to his website and receive 1 week's free trial here - https://www.mikeslessons.com/

Also, I'd like to thank Dan and Marie from http://www.drumazon.com for the introduction to Mike.
