Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words, and also thanks for all the "constructive" criticism, haha! I will keep trying to do my best to answer anyone that has any type of question for me. Oh, luckily for everyone who wants to see more emotion, I have pretty bad allergies at the moment, so I might just look like I'm crying at the next show! :)

Mikes style is perfect for Fear Factory. Most drummers I've played with hate playing to clicktracks every show because it kills the feel of playing. Props to Mike for playing to a click every night. If you want expressive playing then check out Mike in Malignancy. And the drummer debate is boring as fuck, go watch Mikes playing in Malignancy and then come back here and tell me any past drummer in FF could pull that off as cleanly as Mike is. I've been a fan of FF for 20 years, and I can admit that Herrera was sloppy as fuck, seen them plenty of times in the old days. Gene was solid though, but a band like FF need a dedicated drummer and Gene wasn't dedicated enough to the band. Mike is fantastic and deserves much more praise, dude can play anything, I swear

Mike Heller is a legend in the New York Death Metal scene, and always giving guidance to up and coming drummers. Cheers to Mike for Fear Factory recognizing his talent! He has a job to do, and Raymond Herreras drumming isn't all that complicated. Check out Mike w/ Malignancy

@nilsallen-bayes6363 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Mike, I must confess I haven't heard Fear Factory's discopgraphy but I've been hearing Sigh's last album Shiki on loop, and I understand you're playing drums on that one. I have just one word to describe the drumming on that album - PHENOMENAL! It's incredibly energetic, brilliant in all the variations and technically proficient. I don't know if it was anywhere in your mind, but I get some Neil Peart vibes from your playing on that album.
