LATEST EPISODE 🔗
The Mikes take a practice break and tackle a trivia challenge of epic proportions: a Candy Bar Roll Call. Not quite a short, not quite a full episode, it’s a Fun-Sized diversion from your summer practicing, and all but intolerable in audio format!

PREVIOUS EPISODES 🔗
Mike C has a new book about creativity, practice, and the snare drum, and is eager to share how it might positively or negatively impact your practice. If that’s not enough, the Mikes offer a “what we’re loving right now” segment.
Mike C’s book, Unsnared Drum Lab, is available through his website …
The Mikes go deep on the music of Steve Reich. Can they stay aligned or will they phase!?
The one and only! Tune in as we talk to Colin about his newest album release: Steve Reich Sextets (available April 11, 2026). A true pleasure to talk with someone at the top of our field on Steve Reich, chamber music, pedagogy, concertizing, and, briefly, puzzle tables!
The next episode is our interview with Colin Currie, Scottish percussionist extraordinaire. This episode was recorded afterwards, where the Mikes reflect, reminisce, and otherwise ruminate about Colin's transformative interview. We hope this piques your interest for the next episode!
Whether you call it "The Met," "The 'nome," or "My best friend who always loves me," we're all talking about the same device: The Metronome! Are we using it the right way? Are we using it too much? Not enough? Oh, jeez - we've got to get the bottom of this!
Just an epic level of opining on this episode. The Mikes try to figure out how we evaluate music performances, specifically in the college audition cycle. It's tough. We don't think we solved everything, but ideas were had, opining saturated the airwaves.
We were flabbergasted by Hannah Collins. So inspiring, so many lessons; we HAD to debrief about it. This episode gets emotional, personal, honest, and full of MikeDroperties. What do you think?
Thanks, ChatGPT, for the podcast description below, in the style of J. Peterman.
Somewhere between Willow Grove and the low skies of the Netherlands… two men misplaced their plan — and found something far better.
This is not an episode. It is a wandering.
It begins, as many modern pilgrimages…
The Mikes just had to jump on the call to ask each other how we're keeping up with our practice routines. This is the short result, plus a bonus "What do you think of this?" from Mike C.
