We all start out learning a few rudiments, some grooves, a couple fills, and then we're on our way to becoming the drummer of our dreams. That is until someone asks us to flow, to speak on the instrument, to "just play something cool". Much easier said than done! In this drum clinic with Mike Johnston, first livestreamed on our YouTube channel on May 12th, he teaches what it means to truly flow on the kit inside a groove, a solo, and even on a pad.

Well, here's what I've been up to for the past 5 months, but in reality, it has been much longer than that. The new site is a true representation of my life's work. If I have brought any value to you and your drumming over the decades, please do me a SMALL favor and watch this short video. It really would mean the world to me 🍵🙏🏻🍵🙏🏻 | Mike Johnston

Drummers, hears a fun exercise to develop your finger control while internalizing a 3/2 Son Clave. I gotta say, getting to teach it from Tuscany Italy 🇮🇹 at the 21 Drums Camp… I feel pretty dang fortunate. Take this one for a spin over your favorite ostinato, and maybe we can jam on it together next year at camp! @21drumscamp @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummersofig #drumfills | Mike Johnston

This thing is TOUGH! However, once you get it down it’s a fantastic way to work on the timing and precision of your left foot and it’s a KILLER way to bring a subtle bit of extra texture to your Gadson groove. Remember… no open sounds, lol 🍵🍵🍵 @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummersofig #drums #drumgroove | Mike Johnston

4 drum camps in 5 weeks and now it’s time for a little “me time” on the kit. Jamming without a plan other than to enjoy drumming. We all need some time each day where this instrument isn’t a reminder of what we can’t do, but instead a reminder that ANYTHING is possible if you tackle it slowly with patience for yourself and the process. @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummersofig #drumsolo #drumfills #drumme

PLEASE, do not be fooled. When you watch a one min. drum lesson like this on your phone it’s easy to assume you should be able to jump on the kit and just do it. The truth is, a minute long video usually encompasses years, if not decades, of work. Be patient with yourself and chip away at whatever it is that you’re working on ONE NOTE AT A TIME! You got this 🍵🙏🙏🍵 @meinlcymbals @gretschdrums @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @64audio @audiotechnicausa #drumlesson #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drummerso

Mike breaks down a simple twist that makes this classic rudiment feel totally fresh—and a little mischievous. 🎥 Learn it. Try it. Film it. Tag @gretschdrums and we’ll share it. #GretschDrums #GretschLoungeLessons #MikeJohnston #RudimentChalleng
