    Mike is an amazing musician not just a drummer.
    Years ago he sat in for Overkill during a Halloween Party for Eddie Trunks show with only six hours to learn the setlist...which he pulled off with incredible results.
    Cheers Mike.
    You prove that its not all about speed and sounding like a human drum machine like most of these youtube 'superstars'.
    Its all about the mastery of your musical accompanyment craft AS a true musician. Which you are and always will be.
    Youre an Awesome songwriter too.

    Beyond his strength, speed and power. To me it was his arrangements. He seemed to create or capture the mood of a song. Nothing ever seemed to be too much or too little. Always the perfect beat, fill , tone. He allowed Lee and Lifeson the room to stretch out and show their incredible talents as well.

    One of the very best drummer in theveorld iny opinion. As a loyal Rush fan since I was 12 now 61. They will never be duplicated ever the sound that they produced with just three members was just phenomenoninal Geddy a master of bass and Synthesizer Alex master of guitar and way under rated then of course the professor Neil Peart the very best miss them all and still have most if their albums Bytor the snow dog Trees Boons bane my fave is Witch hunt ❤❤❤ great job Mike

    Same here, been a musician all my life the last 25 years professionally i was 8 when i got my first drum kit was a 3 piece Ludwig with blue silver pearl shells got a Tama 7 piece at 12 and that's the age i was exposed to Rush and saw them on the Moving Pictures tour. I combined the 2 kits into one mis matching huge kit, learned every Rush album all the way to Grace Under Pressure when i started getting serious about guitar that i had been noodling with for a while. I've now been playing guitar over 30 years but drums are in my heart and i still play them as much as possible, i write and record allot by myself now play all the instruments myself because i am done touring in bands it's something I've always wanted to do but never could because i was in working bands.

      I was honestly very impressed with how much he smashed Alex's parts in the Modern Drummer AVH tribute videos (and on Alex's kit no less!). I think that MP has different priorities this days when it comes to his own parts, but he definitely has a deeper musical vocabulary than he seems to give himself credit for.
