QUOTES

"Michael is a awe-inspiring drummer.  He is capable of blistering power, while metronomic in his accuracy, and a master of modern-style break beats and dance grooves.  As a teacher he is top notch, combining a immense knowledge of the instrument and associated styles, with a methodical and personal approach."

 

- Chris Hodges, Director of The Rhythm Studio 

"Michael is a breath of fresh air and I really enjoy my lessons with him... a task master but a good one."

 

- David
