Total monster drummer

[@BishopEddie5443]

I discovered him recently and knew immediately he is one of the BEST EVER!

[@skateforzero357]

He has a book on linear funk drumming. I learned like maybe a page out of it, but holy shit, that knowledge was so dense. Completely changed how I played drums

I had to transcribe the cool swing Mike plays at 0:29 and put it in my workbook. It's only 4 bars, but it's so much fun to play!

[@user-wd4uf2sm5d]

Those 3's and 4's just taught me something!

Great ride cymbal there too...but hey... Mike could probably make a garbage can lid sound like heaven.

[@michaslusarczyk1413]

that single-handed roll looks so easy when he play it...

[@citydrums7525]

Makes it look like a simple walk in the park. Which it most certainly is not...
