Michael G. Fisher (also credited as Mike Fisher and Michael Fisher) is a percussionist and studio musician who has recorded with artists including Phil Collins, Linda Ronstadt, Heart, Rickie Lee Jones, Don Henley, Barbra Streisand, and many others. He lives in Malibu, CA.
He was a 15-year-old in Denver, playing lead guitar and singing with a rock band, when he was called upon to pound the elongated drums. He became so fascinated that he eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in world/ethnic percussion.
In the suburbs of L.A. he keeps a warehouse, which is literally full of drums and percussion. His collection is very possibly the most extensive in existence. Today he plays everything from the bodhran, an Irish frame drum, to udu drums — fired Nigerian clay pots. Fisher has worked on hundreds of movies, soundtracks and CDs.
