It's crazy to hear Mike just "play" because he's always teaching. I have a whole new respect for him.

Amazing feel. Are you guys going to have video lessons from him as well? His lessons are the best on the web.

1:10 was hot! Love the cymbal work Mike! Love the groove at 1:40 and the entire ending!

Mike is awesome! Great teacher and stand up good guy. With all his students, he still makes the lessons feel personalized. I have been a student for 3years and have hundreds of lessons archieved. The guys one of the best instructors around. God Bless ya Mikeslessons.com

I can honestly say that his kit sounds better (i know, irrelevant) but Mike is such a creative and flavorful drummer, that latin feel with those new cymbals just sounded explosive. With those cymbals, the latin style had a totally diferent feel to it than it would have with say zildjian or paiste.

It's so cool to see Mikey just playing drums. I love his lessons but it's fun to watch him just jam too.

Peace,

Of these 3 things I am certain: 1) Christopher Nolan belongs behind a camera , 2) Jason Statham belongs behind a steering wheel, and 3) Mike Johnston belongs behind a drum set.

STUD! Classy drumming from a great teacher!

Love the new cymbals Mike. Great drumming too.

I could listen to Mike play all day, everyday, non-freakin-stop.

PLEASE HAVE MORE VIDEOS OF MIKE!!!

Awesome sounds Mike, those cymbals do make you a different drummer in my opinion.

It's an honor to be one of your students!

I m so happy for Mike, making the switch to meinl, he is a great instructor, he really focuses and works a lot to provides us the students what is necessary to be a well rounded drummer, not just as a player but also as a person
