kabpercFriends on drumsI really enjoy the friends discussing one drummer at a time while listening to recordings. Thank you for this format.
-
etm1952One Mike…… is better than two!
-
zildjianzackLOVETHE best gear head/ “Not” gear head show ever. Mike’s interview flow is so casual without sacrificing the quality of the interview. Keep it up Mike, and I LOVE the trip we are going on with the snare drum.
-
Drumbo LimboFun for Us Drum NerdsIt’s so great to have Mike Dawson back, and this time with a format that is about gear on the surface but is really about two drummers connecting over their shared experiences with the instrument. Like a lot of folks, I was really bummed when the MD Podcast with Mike & Mike folded (kinda abruptly!), but if you liked that one, you’ll definitely dig this one. Subscribe!

Jonny KlausmeyerVery nice!I’m glad to see Mike Dawson with his own podcast! Very cool to have a podcast where we can nerd out over drum gear.

Jhc1978Great to see Mike Dawson back!Loved the vibe of the old MD Podcast, and was sad to see it go. Glad Mike is back sharing his wealth of knowledge!
