"Sounds Like Fun" by Mike Malyan - Drum Performance

Download the drumless version here: malyandrum.aca...
This drum kit is for sale now! - reverb.com/uk/...
This is my first release from my Jazzy/Fusion solo project.
I've been putting this off for way too long, and it's a relief to finally release some of this to you.
I've been creating music like this for about 8 years, combining my Drumming skills with my Piano skills (which used to be my main instrument when I was younger).
Huge thanks goes to Pete Miles & Izzi Bard for hosting me at Middle Farm studios for this video shoot. Additionally huge thanks to Adam Steel for such a great mix and video, and to my wife Karolina for taking such a lovely photo of me for the single artwork on streaming services.

An even bigger shout out goes to you, for making me feel like creating is worth doing. I appreciate you all.

So glad you took the live stream performance and broke it out here. Excellent.

@@looksirdroids9134 That's a mistake in my writting. Thank you for pointing it out. I corrected it.

[@djentisnotagenre]

I'm so glad for this song mate. When it first came out it helped me through some real real real real stuff. Makes me nostalgic for those Disperse days in a weird way yet makes me super happy for today and that you got to put something out. It's impressive as heck.

[@Liquidmetal181]

This gives me Arch Echo vibes, and I'm loving every second of it! Great playing!

[@brentos5001]

[@iam_bosko]

This ist some f**king amazing drumming and songwriting! Nice

[@BruceBalensiefer]

Yo I love this side of you Mike. I come from a jazz school background and came to metal only later, so I'm just tickled that you're into this kinda thing too. Give us more.

[@3stadt]

It's finally out :O I hope there will be more of this :)

[@vernplaysguitar]

Holy crap i cant stop listening and even watching the performance now I still feel like it’s my first time hearing it

[@Logan9286-o1n]

Duuude what a great drummer, so beautiful to watch your development through the years, pretty entertaining piece as well as the drum choices and meeter changes; plus really enjoy that you always pay attention to what's conducive to the music meaning orchestration and dynamic ranges. PS: This reminded me so much of the record Rhythm Of Time by Rod Morgenstein and Jordan Rudess. Keep up the great work buddyyyy!!!

[@Draskon5665]

I had to leave the stream to run a last minute errand about 15 minutes before this premiered but holy shit man this is awesome! Congrats on the release, this is some of the freshest music I've heard stylistically in a long while and it definitely sounds like fun, especially to play. You're killing it, can't wait to hear more of your solo work in the future man!

[@jamesclayton1241]

Oooooffffhh!!

[@joeyfife6994]

This is a great track! Catchy as hell.

[@MannyMo_]

I wonder what periphery would sound like if they had Mike Malyan as their drummer and Matt Halpern for monuments 🤔

[@NickyByloo]

At last! I have been waiting a long time for this to arrive. Thanks Mike, it sounds awesome!

[@paulyortiz2558]

Excellent playing Mike. Congratulations on your release. xxx
