ABOUT Mikey:
I started playing drums at 5 years old. I began to take it more seriously at about 10, and usually sat in with my dad's cover bands when they had practice. I finally got into metal when I was about 13. Progressive music with complex changes just intrigued me, and I loved the challenge. I'm constantly studying various techniques and styles, and charting out my own ideas. I've been in several original and cover projects, and have done session work as well.
