The UK Drum Show / Snares & Matcha Debrief with Matt and Riza
Recorded 22/10/2025
Matt looks back over the UK Drum Show and we also discuss the Mike Johnston event in Bath held on 21st October.
Mike Johnston had a Master Clase event followed by a his first UK Snares and Matcha event where anyone could bring along a Snare drum to "Show and Tell" to the group and Mike then tried it out. This was held in the Music Workshop Cafe in Bath run by Kim Lee.
I am sure there will be plenty more Drum Show chat coming up in future episodes.
We mentioned a few or our friends in the business.
