Blaque Dynamite, also known as Mike Mitchell, is a force of nature on the drums. Layering his influences into a genre-defying sound, traces of the familiar serve as a gateway into his complex sonic universe. He's collaborated with artists like Stanley Clarke, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu and many others, and continues to release his own music as Blaque Dynamite.

We spoke with him about his custom-made DW Purpleheart drum kit and the creative intentions that went into its details, how the jazz mentality guides his experimentation, and what inspires him to make music.
