Hey fam,

My name is Mikey. I've been playing all things drums/percussion for about 14 years now. I'm really into electronic drums. Not just any old Roland or Yamaha kit... but real RET Percussion drums.

My favorite drummers currently are: Tony Royster Jr., Benny Grebb, Carter Beauford, Michael Johnston, Thomas Lang, and Art Blakey to name a few.

My style takes from just about anything I hear/practice. I mostly gravitate towards a mix of R&B, Funk, and Rock styles with a nice Fusion Jazz overtone.

My setup: RET Fusion Pro kit with a Custom Cherry finish, chrome rack, Evans heads, either the Jim Rupp Pro-mark stick or Tony Royster Vic Firth sticks, Tama Iron Cobra double kick pedal, all Smartrigger dual zone 13" crash cymbals, 13" hi-hats, 16" dual zone ride cymbal.

I mostly use EZdrummer or BFD2 VPT Systems from RET Percussion. No modules here.

Anywho, that's a little about myself.

Thanks for reading!

You have an interesting concept and I really like the use of "real drums". However, I also do not like that you come in and blast the forum with what is really ads for your company. I am a Weekend Warrior www.theauthorities.net \m/ -_- \m/
