Mike Terrana: The Rhythm Beast

Widely recognized in the United States, Europe and around the world for his breathtaking speed and aggressive playing style, Mike Terrana is considered to be one of the most influential metal drummers of all time. Mike´s new DVD, The Rhythm Beast - In Session, is designed to show aspiring drummers what it is really like to record in a studio environment.

Each of the 8 instrumental rock fusion tracks are recorded “live” – no multiple takes, no digital editing, no ProTools, no quantizing – it’s an organic representation of Mike’s drumming abilities in its rawest form.

There are 3 different angle choices for each track. One is purely for performance, the second focuses on the hand and foot technique and the third is the technical track with a play-by-play commentary. This will give the viewer the advantage of hearing me point count different details concerning fill and groove ideas.

Watch selected cuts from the dvd to get a taste for Mike´s drumming abilities in their rawest form:

• Detonator
• One for the Road

The DVD celebrates Mike’s 30 year professional career as a drummer, highlighting some of the most interesting and complex drumming techniques he has acquired over the years.
