  • Blaque Dynamite, also known as Mike Mitchell, is a force of nature on the drums. Layering his influences into a genre-defying sound, traces of the familiar serve as a gateway into his complex sonic universe. He's collaborated with artists like Stanley Clarke, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu and many others, and continues to release his own music as Blaque Dynamite.
    We spoke with him about his custom-made DW Purpleheart drum kit and the creative intentions that went into its details, how the jazz mentality guides his experimentation, and what inspires him to make music.

    Him and Pridgen have a similar vibe. They're both very creative and experimental in their playing and both have that sorta rock agression blended with the gospel chop style. I dig it!

    I would like to see Ronald B Jr., Maison Guidry, Mike Mitchell and Shariq Tucker.
    In my opinion, They are the Most Freakers drumers today.

    Loving those beats and skill at keeping time with as a guitarist I love Mike's inspiring notes about not everything has to be a competition and his musicianship to match what others in a band plays. Amazing!

    More than ANYTHING i love his open mind toward music!! I don’t think ppl understand that u avoid creative stagnancy when u let your mind explore musically, specifically outside of your comfort zone‼️💯🙌🏾💪🏾

    lol i just found this after watching smg's video on how this guy ditched witherfall. I find it funny how he said "he got into metal" and took 6 hours to learn 2 songs. his work ethic reminds me of a middle schooler procrastinating.
