I was blessed to study with Mike Clark at Drummers Collective in late 80’s and he raised the bar for me and was a joy to watch and learn from. Grandfather of linear drumming but so much more. Thanks Mike!!

Just wanted to thank you guys for this channel, it is beyond cool to see the best drummers / musicians in the world get together and speak informally, inspiring and enlightening, thanks again!

[@steveknight4601]

Wonderful insight, of course, and the video production is very well done, too.

[@tompetteruti250]

The 12-inch gold LP record next to the bass drum leads me to believe that the drum is 18-inches. Really love these round table discussions amongst your community of friends. Beautiful!

Great episode! Peter Erskine gave a drum clinic for my college's jazz festival. Very warm, wise, and funny guy.

" I used to play as if my life depended on it. Now I play as if someone's else's life depends on it" . Powerful words. Humility, empathy, compassion, awareness. Thank you to all involved for sharing this with us..

[@namikohart9759]

Interesting conversation....my Dad was a painter / artist out of the New York School.....I sat in on an art lesson once with him and I’ll never forget something he said....that when you draw or paint, you use your whole body / feelings. I think this is true with all human expressions in art, music....everything creative.

[@thestickpeople939]

I think so too Namiko
