Show Notes
The Mikes react and respond to an article by one of the great minds of our generation, WTF Bach (aka Evan Shinners). What are the benefits and detriments of coddling the minds of the audience?
It's possible this is the most serious the Mikes have ever been. Also, we stay on topic. Take that, ChatGPT analytics!
More from The MikeDrop Podcast
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!
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.
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!
