If there was more guys like Mike, the world would be a better place!

Dang, this guy's joy and enthusiasm is awesome! It doesn't hurt that he's a great drummer!

I learned more from his time signature explanation than ANY of my teachers that I've had throughout middle school, high school, and my drum teacher..

After watching this video. Mike is clearly on another level.

Man I just learned how to make those Sagat from Street Fighters drum rhythms. Love it!

I wish I could have a one on one for 1 hour with Mike teaching me. I like his natural style. You always look like I feel when I am on my kit. HAPPY! EVERY drummer should at least take that with them. Thanks Mike

I smile when Mike hits the bell ride.

Awesome! Great drummer & great person!

Mike just seems like the most down to earth guy ever ... great drummer even greater guy.

Well damn, here I am 3 years after being this and not knowing a thing about Steve Jordan or the JM3 and taking so much in from Mr Johnston. Steve and John's music changed my way of playing and way of listening to music drastically. Funny how things come back around.

Eloquent, diplomatic, honest, great teacher. Wish the camera guy stayed on the talent.

Versatile, good, and flowing start to end. man oh man

this guy is amazing,hes so humble! Great inspiring personality:D

Finally a human! Great person.

Great Teacher, Amazing Player!

Great video. I hope to see you live at a clinic some day.

Such a nice guy, such a good player!

your amazing!

what an awesome dude.

Such a great attitude. I hope he rubs off on the rest of the world.

MIKE ERES UN BATERISTA INTEGRAL DIOS TE BENDIGA VERY NICE¡¡¡¡

legend

inspirational!

the drumming GURU

That guy is a gent.

3:31 = everyone thinking "WHAT THE F***"

He sounded so much better when he was on DW's !!

Which Meinl ride is he playing in the video?

muy bueno* el rudimento de ton y tarola me gustaria saber como aplicarlo

Toby from The Office can really play.

where do you get the first track

What did he do to the top hat?

that guy's cool

its a byzance 20" dark raw bell ride.

DUDE THIS CAT IS WORTH A MILLION BUCKS I JUST GOT THROUGH SHEDDING THIS ODD METER STUFF THAT HE'S TALKING PRECISELY ABOUT DOGG I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HE'S SAYING IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME CONCEPTS

wow, the kit is like a cadillac....

i wish the camera close to mike had a better frame rate :/ motion blur.

I laughed so hard at that I jizzed. :)

Whats the name to the first track played?????? :D

mounstro de la bateria de grande quiero ser como EL jijiji

Does anyone have the sticking for the lick at 4:30?

i am not talking about the loops that mike uses AT ALL. I am talking about the music used in the front of the video with the Sam Ash logo, that is a canned loop from Garageband, my point is that sam ash should use one pf their many musical employees to write something instead of using canne stuff that is all. no slag on mike at all. it was slag in the store. i guess that wasn't clear

Lucky guy

what is song at 3:20 ?

To be clear, I am not talking about any of the loops in Mike's lessons, he does his own thing, I have great respect for him. I was talking about the music that opens the video over the Sam Ash Logo - they are using free loops out of Garageband. My point is, that Sam ash employs a ton of capable musicians in their stores and they still choose to use canned music. That, in my opinion is lame, what maybe worse is that perhaps they themselves never even thought about it. No Disrespect to Mike

I wish I could be there to ask what it was at 10:18 Anyone know?

those are Mikes loops

So when is he moving to Europe again? ;)

I'm sorry but I think you have a fundamental problem Mike. When you are playing you actually look like you are really ENJOYING yourself, no pouting, no grimacing, nothing, surely that can't be right ; ) Great job!

Premiere

everyone there is like WTF!

No way did i just watch 16minutes of this? Felt like a second

10:36 'Whatever...' :P

This guy is definitely an xNFJ.

What kind of hi-hat is that!???

9 people have taken lessons from Justin Bieber ! How the fuck you can dislike this ???

He made all those loops. Settle.

he looks like he's having a good time with the intro song, however he attacks the drums so hard, everything sounds harsh without any varied dynamics.

kotzholes getrommel!

its not danceable but all the white will fall down LOL!!!

if you are putting a drum clinic in "a music store" on video... why don't you mics to those drums to make it sound at least decent? :/

At 9.10 he says: 'we are not meant to dance' This is in my opinion NOT true! When a drummers play's a groove you don't want anything else than dance!!! In your head or with your body. I think he was wrong there...

is anyone else disappointed that a music store is using garageband music loops? Good video, great player, just lame they they support and employ how many thousands of musicians but still uses canned music. I call lame

I'll take the "pocket" playing of howard grimes any day of the week over this guy...

was bist du denn für ein affe?

alright Mike how about playing some music? we're sick and tired of your stupid speed fills... can you play some rhythmic stuff? that would be nice...
