What really sets him apart from other drummers in town, though, is the fact that he has a flatbed bicycle trailer, on which he takes this massive drum kit to and from his gigs. As such, he has claimed the title of "The Greenest Drummer in Austin". "It's about a 20 mile round trip to go downtown and back, so getting down there, playing a 2-3 hour show, and getting back are certainly a great workout. But hey, at least it saves on having a gym membership!"



Mike has been an exclusive Saluda user since 2014, and has declared them the best cymbals he's ever used. His favorite in his collection thus far is his 16" custom made Symbolic Series ride. "I literally use this thing on every live gig I play. It's got such great versatility for tiny clubs and giant venues. Nice, crisp, clear bell ping, and just enough wash that I can ride on it without it completely covering up the rest of the kit."
