Michael has been playing drums since he was 15; he was inspired to purchase his first set of drums after hearing Rush's 2112 album. "My philosophy is to always play for the song; it's nice to have great chops, but having a good groove and feel are so much more important.  I was drawn to this band by the quality of the songs and musicianship; especially Monica's vocal's. You're going to see alot of action from the Mods in the coming year; we are very busy writing new original music and gigging. Stay tuned!"
