Professionalism
Mike's professionalism, determination, and dedication towards each performance is apparent. As an accomplished drummer, he is capable of learning large amounts of material in a short amount of time with countless hours of studio recording, drum-over and live performance experience. While listening to understand the needs of the artist or band, Mike also provides musical insight in basic theory.
Inspiration
The interaction and the energy level with those around Mike, inspire him the most. While his drumming style is energetic, it is also engaging with the audience. His belief....”The world is a stage, life is a gift. Surround yourself with great people, and everything falls into place.”
Focus
Understanding and having a clear perception of each and every project is key for any artist. When under pressure, focus will naturally turn to your inner thoughts rather than projecting the musical intention. Losing focus in a performance is a reality. Mike’s extensive knowledge and awareness helps those on stage to concentrate on movement and feel, then use inner hearing or singing inside their head to re-obtain that focus.
