Styx drummer Todd Sucherman recommends Steve Michaud.

About

    Steve Michaud, both as a performer and an educator, has evoked high regard from the drum community ever since his years of study with the former Dean of Percussion at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Gary Chaffee, teacher of some of the finest drummers in the world, including Vinnie Colaiuta and Steve Smith of Journey.  Jonathan Mover, editor-in-chief of Drumhead magazine--and one who himself has played drums for Steve Vai and Joe Satriani--said of Steve, “It wasn’t very often that I would hear Gary Chaffee say, 'I have a new student...and he’s one of the guys.' But when he did, you knew it was serious.  Well, I heard Gary speak of Stephen on more than one occasion, and if that doesn’t speak for itself, nothing will.  A combination of impeccable time, groove and insane polyrhythmic chops, Stephen is the best of all worlds and a force to be reckoned with."   Read more...
