Never before has a drummer of Mick’s caliber offered their work for other musicians to use royalty free. The release of Mick’s 890 (503MB) original, samples or “loops” was considered so important it was covered by worldwide media and was even featured on CNN Headline News. The press release from Sonic Foundry begins: “Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood is the living history of rock. Thundering through its evolution, his passionate style drove the British Invasion's bold incarnation of the blues, rocked through the golden age of FM, and made inroads to new world music hybrids. Then, it happened: the ultimate Fleetwood Mac, and some of the most innovative and popular music ever created. Now, enthusiasts, musicians and drummers can explore the very core of Mick’s music with Mick Fleetwood: Total Drumming. A meticulously researched and executed project and a labor of love, the Fleetwood / Foundry synergy reveals the shining core of the Fleetwood style, and showcases all the beats and rhythms that literally changed the course of modern music.
