My number one drumming idol my name is James I'm a 26 year old drummer with autism from Houston Texas I've been watching your videos since I was 16 I hope I get to meet you one day Mike
I have followed you since we met backstage in summer 1984 at a battle of the bands at Cougars in Cheektowaga, NY. My band came in second place and your band Zillion won the contest that day. After the show, you came backstage and we exchanged compliments for each other and I was very impressed not only with your phenomenal talent, but you were very personable and intelligent as well. Our manager at the time told us that at your day job at Moog in East Aurora you were told to either cut your hair or find another job. You kept your hair long and have been drumming ever since. I still practice my drums alot at home, but stopped playing gigs a few years ago. I'm glad to have met you when we were 22, and I'm proud that a fellow Western New Yorker made it in that industry. I still remember thinking Zillion was YOUR backup band. Best wishes. You still play like you're 22.Wow.
Mike, I actually play Drums in an Avalanch's tribute called Xana, and one of my favorites song Is Caduceus, I will enjoy a lot if you can play this song in this channel, greetings from Colombia
For those of you that have, and will, question why Mike has two bass drums, but is utilizing a double pedal on only one bass drum . . . As a retired studio & touring drummer of 32 years, the most plausible explanation is simply this . . . #1. It is easier to mic one kick drum than two. Less time for sound check if time is of the essence. It also provides for a more uniform sound for fast double kick work. I played double kick all my life, sometimes with one bass drum & a double pedal and sometimes with two bass drums. However, in the studio, 99% of the time we only utilized one bass drum with a double pedal for the points I made above. #2. This is Mike's trademark setup, so yes, appearance is important, but it has nothing to do with caring about appearance over functionality, for reasons I stated above. The mistake was in the filming and thinking that it was in any way necessary to film Mike's feet, ESPECIALLY given the fact that they were only using one bass drum with a double pedal. It's not like we need to see his feet, because we can clearly HEAR and enjoy the impeccable double kick work. So that was nothing more than a production blunder. I've known Mike since the early 1980's when we were both bashing the skins on the Buffalo, NY club circuit and I'm here to tell you that was in no way indicative of Mike's embracing appearance over functionality.
Mike would you be so kind to do a drum run through for sizes and why you went with kit configuration? Please I would really love to hear and see the goings on.....love from Canada brother
Slort dos Goonies toca muito! Tive o privilégio de vê-lo em 2008, em Porto Alegre, Brasil, com Tarja Turunen e Kiko Loureiro! Um dos melhores bateristas do mundo!
This is not the kind of rock I like the most. Not at all. But watching Mike's performances makes all so way much better. Every instant of this is way too worthy.
saw you live with Rage back in 2005 here in Brazil and man, I am still amazed, that's the kind of once in a lifetime opportunity to see you drumming live. btw, sounds way better using pAisTes (think the 2002 suit you better than 900s tho), cheers to the guys at Nottwil. thanks for your music and inspiration to a bunch of heavy drummers worldwide =)
Dungeon master: are you sure about your characther? Mine: yeah, I wanna be an half-orc power metal amazing drummer. Dungeon Master: you start with 18 in dexterity
Se o cara com Um bumbo só Detona Sempre,, arranca esse segundo bumbo, já sabemos que bumbo duplo não Rola pra tal musico, isso e aquilo, e detona logo no pedal duplo, não vai deixar de ser Mr, Terrana, Ou Mr, Eloy, por causa disso, chega, o sistema já nos prega tantas peças, kkk e ótimo video, Valeu. Mestre Terrana.
Mike is a beast. I would be completely wiped out trying to hit those china cymbals on the 2nd floor! Mike is an old school rock drummer that understands entertaining the audience is important just as the sound of the music is. It is a performance and Mike has a great overall approach to his music. Rock on!
Sem dúvida, melhor trabalho de Mike Terrana. Baterista de excelência.
Absolute beast!!! Always enjoy watching your drumming, Mike!! Being a drummer myself, you're an inspiration to watch!
Bravo Mike, I'm happy to listen to your drumming in the new Vision Divine album :)

This DW kit may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
He reminds me of those troll action figures from the 90's.
Im more like an action figure from the 70s :)

Those toms sound insane!!!
Thx....good drums, good heads and a good recording engineer ....and maybe I had a little something to do with the sound as well :)
It's nice to see people who take instrument seriously instead of all the "rock star" drummers who mainly pose for pics.
Thx roger ...however I have been known to do some posing too ..in the early 80s ...haha
Yeah but there's a difference when you can back it up. I've been playing for a long time, teaching too, and I've always respected your ability.
Mike the monster of drum !
Greetings from Brazil! Mamma mia!

It gives his set up symmetry and also holds his cymbal set up. Looks count to many of us drummers.
great game Mike, good music, beautiful set also fits the Paiste cymbals
