He was part of Stanley Clarke’s band and had done a significant apprenticeship with Derrick Hodge. In November, 2019 we recorded Mike, his high school best friend - bassist Max Gerl, and a gaggle of other young musicians at a new Los Angeles analog studio called Space. That session is still unreleased but more on that later. Mike is so different from other drummers we wanted to showcase that difference in the starkest light possible. Solo drums. In Spring 2022, Mike and his drum technician\/friend\/cool drummer himself, Dom McKenzie, rolled into Reservoir Studios. Watching Mike that day was like watching fireworks not in the sense that fireworks can sound like drums, but in the sense that each performance he did in the studio was like the most impressive and intricate light show, with each one followed by awed silence and expectation of the next blast. Mike, a flamboyant character with an at-times absurd sense of humor is easy to mistake as stylish while missing his tremendous substance. These are brilliant songs and compositions, each driven by Mike’s indefatigable mind and limbs. We couldn’t cut any of his pieces so we made it a double LP. Cover idea by J. Cohn executed to perfection by Mandel and Nathan Golub.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eA1: Come On\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eA2: Fort Worth Bata\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eA3: Directions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eB1: Tribute\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eB2: The Quest For Dave To Sea This In Los Angeles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eC1: Tres Leches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eC2: Three Card Molly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eC3: Mints\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eD1: Walkin’ With Deantoni\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eD2: Blowout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eD3: Mike’s Grave\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.M.I Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45488086581302,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/1755\/2950\/files\/MikeMitchell_BlaqueDynamite_jpg.webp?v=1777146410"},{"product_id":"max-gerl-mike-mitchell-hard-pan-double-12-vinyl-lp-45-rpm","title":"Max Gerl \u0026 Mike Mitchell - Hard Pan (Double 12\" vinyl LP 45 RPM)","description":"\u003ciframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6ardajQqRSQniWJfV2b6TP?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrums and Electric Bass album from two modern monsters.
