In this episode, Mike and Mike discuss Modern Drummer September 2017 cover artist Steve Smith, who rejoined arena-rock greats Journey in 2016. The education section focuses on samba rhythms and how they can be applied to the drumset. Up for review is a trio of metal snares from Love Custom Drums. After fielding a few listener questions, the show concludes with picks of the week.
