Hey Norbert, thanks for this beautiful interviews and insights from such great drummers - it's a shame, that they don't get far more clicks. In my opinion we all should think about the future of music and musicians (the teachers, the online creators, the companies): Is it really all about views, entertainment and how to get people excited and impressed - or should we all concentrate a bit more of how to bring people to play an instrument, to understand the value and joy of art and music and to motivate people by an authentic and honest approach... Just my thoughts sometimes as a German drum channel with educational content. Thanks for having Wolfgang and your work for the drum community since many years! All the best, Jochen 🥁❤
