As a continuation of Mike’s previous discussion of his gear – especially his new signature snare drum from Shine drums – here is Mike at Shine discussing the process of manufacturing the drum.
Further, he demonstrates his personal touch given to each snare drum before being shipped to the customer.
Please check out the video:
Mike’s a pretty humble guy – so you know he will explain what he really means with this hyperbolic title.
Mike cover an interesting basic rock-groove emphasizing the appeal of the cymbal crash on "ah" of beat "1" preceding the back-beat on "2".
He also reveals that he will be associated with a prominent drummer as a drum teacher for his on-line lessons. Keeping checking back on his website, www.mikeslessons.com
Black River Music Word is very proud to offer the on-line drum lessons from Mike Johnston.
Mike is a long time international clinician as well as the operator of a full-time a drum school, The Drum Lab, in Sacramento California.
Mike has offered free on-line drum lessons as a subscription for some time now. As a subscriber since late 2007, I thought it would be great to offer a convenient way to access these great educational videos.
The first of the series of lessons by Mike Johnston offered by Black River Music Word initially shows Mike’s superior chops; then proceeds to present a unique method of developing a specific type of independence – verbal! Developing this skill leads logically to the important 4-limb independence required for an accomplished set-drummer.
Initially, BRMW will publish a different lesson every week. After then, whenever Mike creates a new one.
