Here is what industry pros are saying about Mike...
"...he is one of the most energetic and positive educators I have worked with to date... Mikes approach is dynamic and easily understood by beginners and pros..."
For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Mike perform in one of his many bands you are also missing something very special. He has a great understanding for all styles of music and continually looks for new ways to improve on his art. It’s easy to see why he is so successful as a music instructor and why he is well respected in the professional community. Mike is truly a student of His craft with a sincere desire to improve as an educator and a professional drummer. We at Yamaha are very proud to have Mike on our team. Ken Infanti |
Mike Michalkow has worked as a clinician with Yamaha for the past 5 years. I am pleased to say he is one of the most energetic and positive educators I have worked with to date. When called upon Mike steps up and performs his clinics as though it was his first. Mikes approach is dynamic and easily understood by beginners and pros. What never seizes to amaze me is each of Mike’s clinics are new and if this can be possible - better than the last.  |
"...he has captured great values to pass on for our drumming community."
Dom Famularo |
I am so impressed with Mike as not only a player, but also as a teacher. I
respect both talents immensely. As a player he wants to continue to learn
and as a teacher he wants to continue to share. I have seen Mike in both situations
and believe he has captured great values to pass on for our drumming |
"...hearing them perform, Mike definitely knows the How and What of teaching."
Chuck Silverman |
I'm proud to have Mike as a friend. It's been a pleasure being able to share our love for drumming and music together. As a drummer and percussionist, I've enjoyed Mike's playing ever since we met. As a teacher, comments from his students, and hearing them perform, tell me that Mike definitely knows the How and What of teaching. |
"...A fine drummer - a well respected teacher"
Peter Magadini |
Mike Michalkow: A fine drummer - a well |

What do drumming students around the world think
of the Moeller Method Secrets Training System and
how it's revolutionizing modern drumming?
I've always been a big believer in proof. When there's so much hype and crap on the Internet these days, you can never get enough proof... Because results are results, period. That's what really counts, no matter what. Right?
Well, ever since the release of this unique training system early in June, I've had the opportunity to track some of Mike's students, and had them report them back to me.
Below I have listed a few of the success stories I've received from students all over the world (There are plenty more, too!). These results are just the BEGINNING for these drummers as they will continue to implement the various methods in new and unique ways over the many years to come.
"Mike does a super job of covering what I consider vital drumming information..." I really enjoyed watching through all the Moeller Method Secrets video lessons. Mike does a super job of covering what I consider vital drumming information. I will be passing on the word to my students, and recommending that they use this for their home studies (over the summer when I'm not teaching of course). Congratulations Mike! Samuel Marks |

"...each disk is much longer than most drum DVDs which seem to be about half an hour."
Debbie Guy |
Your DVDs arrived in the mail today, and I'm watching them, and I have to say - I'm so impressed. First of all, each disk is much longer than most drum DVDs which seem to be about half an hour. Second, it's so nice to be able to print out the exercises. Third, it's really good material. I'm in the middle of watching the part with all the fills, and it's inspiring how you put the fills in the context of many different styles of beats. It may seem silly, but I never really thought about those exercises in Stick Control in the context of the motions. You really put that in perspective. Great job to you and the folks at Railroad. It exceeded my expectations... |
"...essential drum methods in this video that just plain get ignored far too often." The entire idea behind the Moeller Method Secrets video set impressed me a great deal. However, the fact that the entire plan was put to action and developed into a real product is what makes this so special. Mike Michalkow teaches absolutely essential drum methods in this video that just plain get ignored far too often. It's just really too bad that something like this wasn't available when I was first learning. I can only imagine how much further along I would be. Jeff Berry |

"Mike Michalkow teaches in a friendly and thorough manner..." I am very proud to have been on the "beta tester" team for this video training set. The folks at Railroad Media have really put together a high quality product here. I've already got my son started on a few of the techniques that I had forgotten about over the years. It's a great refresher for me as well, and gave plenty of fresh insight. Mike Michalkow teaches in a friendly and thorough manner that I find myself trying to imitate with students in lessons.

"This is the best instructional disc covering the fundamentals of technique I've ever seen..."
Wayne I. Henry |
I got your new DVD yesterday and watched most of the first disc last
night. Okay, the honest truth here: This is the best instructional disc
covering the fundamentals of technique I've ever seen (and I've got a
lot of 'em). Thanks a lot man! |
"...a week now, and am already seeing a boost in my confidence and control." I'm very impressed with the entire process of ordering with your rep on the phone. Please thank Mike for me personally as this video set is super. Finally, a single video covers all the questions I've had for the three years I've been playing. I have been working through the lessons chapter by chapter for a week now, and am already seeing a boost in my confidence and control. Oh, and let Jared know that I love the books and the beat ideas included in them. Thank you! Kevin Sinclair |

"...at last night's band rehearsal the guitar player actually commented on the improvement in my playing." I don't normally go out of my way for things like this, but I just had to send you an email to thank you for what an AWESOME job you did with the Moeller Method DVD. I received the DVD about 3 weeks ago and started working on some of the exercises (mostly the various strokes and the "sitting on the couch" finger control exercise). I was completely blown away at the difference it is already making in my playing. In fact, at last night's band rehearsal the guitar player actually commented on the improvement in my playing. I have been playing drums for a year and have a boat load of DVDs and instructional books (I've also taken 2 lessons from Stanton Moore) and I have to say that your DVD has - by far - the most "bang for the buck". Thank you, again! The info in your DVD is the key I've been looking for to unlock the playing of some of my favorite drummers. Brian Fukuji |
