May 7, 2026Working with Mike was an absolute game-changer for my project. I brought him three tracks that needed a very specific feel and he delivered exactly what the songs were missing.
Mike doesn't just play the drums; he composes for the song. He has an incredible ear for dynamics and a pocket that is rock-solid. Even with just three songs, his versatility shone through. He knew exactly when to drive the energy and when to lay back to let the lyrics breathe.
Beyond the talent, his turnaround time was fast and the recording quality was top-tier. If you’re a songwriter looking to take your demos to a professional level, hire Mike. I can’t wait to get him on the next batch of tracks!
