    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

    Guessing the people talking crap about Mike have never heard of him before. What a shame, Mike is easily one of the better drummers on the scene.

    • @LittyProductions
      @LittyProductions 7 років тому +5

      Probably. The nasty comments are pretty typical. I'm hoping that some of the viewers can experience the drummer's skill and enjoy the music.

    • @LittyProductions
      @LittyProductions 7 років тому +1

      Hey Burn, Mike did go out and answer the questions, so you might find the answers interesting.

    I came here after seeing comments on Blabbermouth about what horrible drummer he is. This guy is a beast. People are absolutely stupid if they think this guy can't play.

      He isn’t showboating as he plays so it doesn’t look as intense is why.

      @AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool Рік тому +14

      Some people are just clueless. He is a fantastic drummer. To play Fear Factory you have to be so precise

    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
      @nilsallen-bayes6363 5 років тому +1

      "Raymond Herrera's drumming isn't all that complicated"....?
      This is true as long as you have your double pedal technique utterly mastered.

    My respect for Mike keeps growing with time! I was very sceptical when he became part of the band. In my mind, no one could replace the drum machine that Raymond Herrera was! But nowadays, Mike as proven to be an worthy replacement.

    • @isiscruz9075
      @isiscruz9075 7 років тому +2

      guitarist dint. they think drums are easy. Haha just cause they know how to blast at 230bpms. that's what literally all guitarists I know told me haha. blasting fast is like playing in power chord fast and a few different frets.

    • @CH-rs7cm
      @CH-rs7cm 7 років тому

    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.
