EPISODE 20: Hanging with Mel & Riz (not Kim)
Andy was unable to attend this one so we have Mel and Riza in for an informal chat about all sorts including Comets!! (Oddly)
We talk about some of the stuff we are working on, and discuss how Posh Mel is of course...
We also talk a little about how we record our drum videos. I think a more in-depth chat about that may come later..
Enjoy and Thanks for Listening
Matt, Andy, Mel and Riza :) (Oh and Trev the Voice Over Guy)

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!
