Huge respect for Mike Dawson. Such a sincerely and knowledgeable guy. He’s been kind to me despite the fact that I’m nobody in the world of drums and I’ve learned a ton from him. Such an amazing setup here!

[@malonedrum]

I feel the same way about Mike. I feel like I've known him for forever from his media pretense, but super genuine guy and very gracious with his time.

[@drumtravelfun]

Mike's work with MD was amazing. He's one of few I trust to give an impartial review on a product, verses all the pay-to-play YT types. In a perfect world he'd be the owner/publisher of MD.

[@malonedrum]

He’s really been green light to do a lot of the style of work he did at MD through Drum Factory Direct now.

Mike, thank you so very much for taking your time to introduce us to Mr. Dawson. His presentation was not only entertaining but also so informational. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@malonedrum]

Glad you enjoyed it

So sick you got to hang with Mike, he's the best!

Dom! I love your content, keep it up man. I was never a gamer, but enjoy the music, vlogs, and all your work.

@@malonedrum Thanks so much man, means a lot coming from you!

[@sharper9009]

Dawson just seems like a really good dude. Great player too

[@malonedrum]

Nailed it.

Within the first 30 seconds I knew you were in Pennsylvania just by looking at the houses on the block. Btw, I’ve watched a lot of Mike’s live drum videos the past few years but since I haven’t been a regular reader of modern Drummer I had no idea he was one of the editors. Great drummer and he gets great sounds!

[@malonedrum]

Ha, I don't know the tells for PA home aesthetics .

[@timm1139]

Just wow….. the drums, the stories & a nice guy too! A set from a guy that didn’t come back from WW2? I could listen to him all day.

[@malonedrum]

I had to cut out so many great nuggets to package all of this in a respectable episode. Such a great time.

[@timm1139]

@@malonedrum I would not object if you posted a 2nd episode.

[@wadedixon9890]

Love Mike…Another great episode.

[@malonedrum]

Thanks!

[@Cichlids23]

Good stuff Mike, another Legend in the Industry! I'm new to drums so I feel right at home that I already feel like I need 5 more snare drums and extra cymbals, with a different sound! lol

[@malonedrum]

If anybody says you have too many snares, see exhibit A ☝️

Oh, I've been waiting so long for this one to be out!

Great job Mike 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@malonedrum]

Thanks

[@josborne2186]

What's with the sticker on the bottom head of all the snare drums! Great interview with a great guy.

[@malonedrum]

I think what you're speaking of is actually coasters. They are in there to keep the snare wires from rattling in the room when not in use. You pry it between the wires and head so when the head vibrates (Sympathetically while other drums are played) it doesn't make any sound.

[@josborne2186]

@@malonedrum right! That make so much sense. Thanks Mike (both Mikes) :)

[@markcrawford8424]

damn r.i.p uarts

[@malonedrum]

Ugh, I know.... What a sad loss for the arts community in Philly.

[@markcrawford8424]

@malonedrum yup they played a couple of my high school jazz fest back in the day and I almost went there for a hand percussion degree. it's crazy how many higher learning schools are closing

[@davepounds8924]

Nice interview with Milne Dawson I used to read his gear reviews in MD. So sad that that magazine went down I guess mags are a thing of the past now Really no drum magazines made anymore in this country

[@malonedrum]

It's sad how the media world changed, but when you look at the internet, there are so many amazing resources now, just in different forms.

[@davepounds8924]

@@malonedrum Yes you’re right channels like yours bring a lot of information. I just used to love getting my physical copy of MD every month

Milne?!? Wtf

[@davepounds8924]

@@ALLforROME Calm down @All for Rome! It’s just a typo!! I meant Mike Dawson!! Can’t you figure that out?????
