We talk about the Richard Spaven a little and about some upcoming JoJo Mayer Gigs, November 5th and 6th In Hoxton London

Anyway.

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!
