Mike Bennett
At only 26-years-old Mike Bennett is emerging as one of the nations top drummers and percussionists. His tremendous musicality and on-stage charisma have led Drum! Magazine to call him, “a full-fledged chameleon, showing restraint or blasting chops when called for, with a clean sound, metronomic feel, and a distinctly melodic soling style.” Modern Drummer Magazine agrees and says that he is, “on the fast track…a versatile drummer who is building a reputation as one of L.A.’s finest.”
In his young career Bennett has crossed many contemporary and world genres performing on either drum-kit or percussion with artists such as Hilary Duff, Benise, Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band and many others! He has also made numerous TV appearances on The Tonight Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, TeeNick, Good Morning America, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, MTV, VH1, and MuchMusic. Bennett is also a recognized face in many major drum publications around the world such as Modern Drummer, DRUM!, Batteur, Drum Scene, Batterie and others through his popular interview, articles and advertisements.
Off of the stage, Bennett is the author of the recently released Demystifying Drumming book series and a highly recognized drum programmer and sound designer.
Mike Bennett is proud to be a Sonor artist and clinician currently performing around the world with Hilary Duff and Benise.
