Today, I’m sitting down with incredible drummer Lucas van Merwijk.

In this episode, we look back at his impressive career behind the drums. We talk about his deep connection to Latin music, his passion for teaching the next generation of drummers, and the exciting projects he is working on right now.

Since we both have a history of playing internationally, we also dive into some great stories about his unique experiences and massive success performing in China.

Here’s what we chat about:

• His Musical Journey: Looking back at the biggest milestones in his career.
• The Latin Groove: Why Latin music is at the absolute heart of his drumming style.
• Music Education: His approach to teaching and passing on the craft.
• Current Projects: The bands, ensembles, and music he's creating today.
• Success in China: His experiences touring, playing, and making a name for himself in the Chinese music scene.
