Mike Johnston Photo Shoot Drum Solo

[ariesram74]

Any thoughts on Bosphorus or Istanbul Agop? Meinl has come a long way in challenging the big 3 in cymbals.

[danielmarch48]

he uses one bass peddle

[idrumfofun1100]

I honestly think I would murder someone for that kit.

[robbocainio]

HAHA travis barker would nail this guy in a drum battle

[thickpooxbox360]

@robbocainio Obvious troll is obvious

[jefmusic]

I love meinl ride dark draw bell

[sweetfly66]

Meinl is making the best sounding cymbals in the world right now ...I really dont think its even close ... they are NAILING it .. they sound so musical

[The1aMatt]

I've been looking for a sense of direction in my playing, and I think he has a one-week drum camp. I'm gonna have to sign up for it! I know some people who know him personally, and they say he's the same in person as on the net.

[specialness16]

nice :)

[ihatechristine69]

Is he playing on a Gammon set? The heads say Gammon I think, could be wrong

[MaunProductions]

@ihatechristine69

It's a DW collector with Aquarian heads.

[ejp93]

@ihatechristine69 aquarian and it's a dw custom kit.

[ryjodal]

the brickwork on that wall is fairly rough.

[johnnylarue1]

great solo, pretty huge endorsement for a guy like this to move from Paiste to Meinl!!! Great going Meinl!!

[danny702x]

love the high hat sound

[a7xTheRevJra7x]

damn , i think im gonna watch this a couple more times : ]

[markthedrum]

Thankfully someone who knows how to string a solo together and not double bass fills the whole way through it. I love nothing more than a drum solo with feel running through it. That such a groove running throughout it,

Great job Mike that was awesome!!!

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Can't wait to see him at the Meinl Drum Fest.

[TheGabriel4449]

awesom ;D

[butters226]

travis barker

[LandOfPerpetualJelly]

@butters226 I don't think his name is worthy on this page

[drex48239]

since when is he on meinl

[RedTwizzler]

@drex48239 He just made the switch recently. He used to be sponsored by Paiste, but made the move to Meinl. Can't say I blame him. I think this cymbal set up sounds way better for his style of playing than his Paiste set up did.

[harorider879]

Can we get a cymbal gear list for this video possibly?

[johnnylarue1]

great groovin!!

[wolfpack9iloilo]

wow...i want this set ...byzance ftw

[overcontrol]

fine

[AlecBFlores]

those crashes sound like chinas hahaha

[DrummingWarrior]

He simply couldn't have made a better choice! There is just no other cymbal company that puts so much effort and passion into creating new and impressing cymbals! Meinl's da best! :)

[DuNordavind]

I've been a fan of Mike for quite some time, and I have to say that I'm impressed with his new choice of cymbals!

If I am not mistaken, I have the same Extra Dry crash, the regular-bell version of that Dark ride, and I am looking at getting some Extra dry hats like that too.

I think MEINL has some of the most interesting sounds in the cymbal world coming out of their Byzance lines!

[Pandanobear]

Meinl does an excellent job of making cymbals fucking gorgeous as well as sound out of this world.

[elnino482]

Beautiful drumming with beautiful cymbals!

[DrewCdrummer24]

damn... solid drummer right there
