DEUTSCH:: Den Grundstein seiner Schlagzeuger-Laufbahn, so Michael Zagon, legte sein Vater Charly Wiltshire (gestorben 2005), der als großer Swing- und Buddy-Rich-Fan seinen Sohn schon im Kindesalter für diese Art der Musik zu begeistern wusste. So zeichnete sich für Michael bereits sehr früh ab, dass wohl auch er die Trommeln schlagen würde.Eine Kindersnare, die ihm sein Vater zum Geburtstag schenkte, markierte dann den tatsächlichen Beginn der Bestrebungen des jungen Michael, es irgendwann zum Profi-Schlagzeuger zu bringen. In welche musikalische Richtung dieses Streben hauptsächlich gehen würde bestimmte dann eine LP, die Michael’s Schwester Christel ihm eines Tages zu hören gab, und die sein gesamtes musikalisches Weltbild mit einem Mal völlig auf den Kopf stellte: „Made in Japan“ von Deep Purple, mit dem grandiosen Drumsolo von Ian Paice „The Mule“.

Thus it appeared for Michael already very early that he would probaly strike the drums. A kindersnare which its father gave him to the birthday, marked then the actual beginning of the efforts of the young Michael to bring it sometime to the professional drummer. Into which musical direction this striving would go mainly determined then a LP which gave to hear Michael's sister Christel it a daily, and which its entire musical conception of the world with a mark placed completly on the head: Made in Japan of Deep Purple - polarized, with the great drumsolo of Ian Paice The MULE. At school Michael could later, instead of participating on the religous education, to visit a music teacher, who gave him its first impact things instruction. First live experiences and soon then also the next milestone in the career of the engaged Drummers followed: The first studio recording. This brought Michael then also to a hurdle: Click-tightness in Drumming!! Since this experiences Michael plays both with its exercises and in the studio exclusive with a clicktrack or a loop. By enthusiastic and hard training it succeeded to Michael within short time to be applicable by its clicktight at any time and everywhere also without long samples with it unknown musicians. Michael lived several years in Berlin. During this time he dedicated himself to the most different music styles, from avant-garde (easily on a drumkit made of metal) to skirt / pop (singer- songwriter) Also it parallel to its own commitments and his training, took further instruction with various teachers.In the last years Michael dedicated itself to among other things different volume projekts, did however never to take also further with the most different teachers instruction always anxious, to become acquainted with new techniques already well known techniques to improve and its personal style further develop. This culminates momentarily in the attendance of the Ecole de batterie, who teaches the D' Dante Agostini school.For over one decade Michael is active also as impact things teachers.Education: Music-School Berlin Kreuzberg, Buddy Hoffmann, Andreas Griefiengholt, Uwe Petersen, Sven Kopatz (Ecole de Batterie Osnabrück) workshops with Steve Smith, Chester Thompson, Dom Famularo.
