He’s also a gear expert with a deep understanding of the tools he uses and knows how to choose the right approach for each project. Mickey’s engineering style is collaborative and focused. He’s known for his ability to bring out the best in the artists he works with—through clear communication, patience, and a genuine investment in the final result.

A longtime collaborator and friend of Mickey’s for nearly two decades, Chris has been part of countless tribute and performance projects. Now, as Blanketfort’s resident percussion consultant and gear head, he proudly supports the studio by providing a growing collection of Gretsch drums available for use, ensuring every session sounds as good as it feels.
