Not So Local Legends: Mike Johnston 

We had the chance to interview the matcha-loving, online drum teaching guru Mike Johnston after his amazing clinic here in store.

Mike began his professional career touring with his Rock/Nu Metal band Simon Says in the early 2000s. However, it was his passion for teaching and innovating the online drum education space, that saw him stepping away from live performance and deeper into the world of education and clinics.

Now with his website boating thousands of members, a successful podcast, a huge social media following and endorsing top brands such as Gretsch, Vic Firth, Meinl Cymbals, DW Hardware, 64 audio and more, Mike is an extremely talked about and highly regarded drummer.

…Also being from California it definitely makes him a NOT so local Legend.
