Michael Shrieve

Throughout an extensive professional journey, Shrieve has distinguished himself across rock drumming, percussion, and forward-thinking electronic composition. Initial prominence arrived through his position as the dynamic drummer in Santana, where, still a teenager, an extended solo at the landmark Woodstock festival swept him into the vortex of mainstream visibility. He has persisted in exploring fresh methods for percussion-centered music. Joint projects have encompassed collaborations with Stomu Yamash'ta, Klaus Schulze, Steve Roach, David Beal, David Torn, and Andy Summers.
