Commented THE FINAL SLEEP: "Mike is an amazing drummer, and we are very excited to have him on board.

"When we started to brainstorm about drummers, Mike's name came up on the top of the list. We sent him some demos, and he was into it. He came back a few weeks later and nailed the four songs we sent him. He really couldn't have made it any easier for us.

"We look forward to finishing our CD, and getting back out on the live circuit soon."
