Mike Heaton - Embrace / Code Drum Heads

Percussion Discussion - Episode 132 - Mike Heaton. Joining me today is Mike Heaton. Since the 90’s Mike has been the drummer for Yorkshire indie rockers Embrace. Join Mike and myself as we chat about many aspects of his amazing career including his beautiful drumming and always serving the song, Mike explains how this wasn’t always the case and how he found it tricky to play in such a sparse and simple way after a producer asked for this. Mike is of course the main man behind Code drum heads, Mike tells us why he got into the drum head business and how it felt when Nicko McBrain from the mighty Iron Maiden came on board as an endorser of the heads with his own signature line of drum heads! Mike is great to chat to, the conversation is always easy and free flowing, I really hope you enjoy our conversation, I found it really fascinating! Mike, thank you for giving up your valuable time to chat to me. www.codedrumheads.co.uk
