Hi there! I am Mikas, a drummer, composer and producer from Denmark. I graduated as master of music from the Academy of Music in Aarhus and have since worked as a live drummer, a music producer as well as teaching drumming, singing and music production in private lessons. I love to come up with and record amazing sounding drum arrangements!

Imagine your track with a customized and creative drum part, produced and mixed to your liking. That´s what I want to make for your music.

For the last 9 years I have been producing and recording drums in my studio, and by now I would say that I´m pretty damn good at it. I take pride in playing for the song and always trying to elevate the feeling and energy in the lyrics and music. Be it a simple and consistent beat or a more open and playful approach.

I have amazing DPA, Neumann, Telefunken and Sennheiser microphones at my disposal. As well as two very different Ludwig drumsets and a ton of cymbals and different snare drums. I can do very close mic´ed recordings or very open sounding with alot of ambience - all drums are recorded in a 75m3 studio with great acoustics.

I mostly gravitate towards indie, alternative, pop, folk aswell as electronic genres. I love to experiment with different types of drum sounds. It could me muffled drums played with mallets, it could be aggresively compressed drum beats or round and earthy vintage tones. Write me a message with your idea and lets see what we can come up with.

Sincerely
Mikas

    I'm absolutely thrilled with the drums that Mikas tracked for my song. The song is in 6/8 with some pauses - not an easy song to track drums to - yet he very quickly (within one evening) figured out the groove and the atmosphere I was going for. I was very particular with what I wanted on this track, and Mikas was able to figure out the best way to capture the vintage sound I wanted. He even added some extra production using outboard gear. Excellent experience and I highly recommend!
