‘Wild Mick’ Brown has chosen Lumigraf’s Inferno drum wrap, in the Blue/Gold color combination, as the new skin for his drums!
“Remember that scene in the ‘Wizard of Oz’ that went black to white then changed into color? That’s what the Lumigraf Drumwrap experience is like compared to what’s been offered by drum manufacturers in the past! It has 3-D depth that just can’t be captured in photos! Outstanding! Great selection of of colors and patterns that will look great on any drum kit!”

Wild Mick’s Bio!
Mick Brown was born September 8th, 1956, just about the time Elvis Presley was shakin’ it up at state fairs and early television performances. Mick’s love for music became apparent at a very early age, but he found it frustrating to handle the saxophone or guitar with the small hands of a 5 or 6-year-old!
As luck would have it, a performance by the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show captured the imagination of now seven-year-old Mick, and he decided that the drums might be the instrument for him, as well as playing in a rock-n-roll band. So yong Mick, on his 8th birthday, took his first drum lesson from Mickey Hart, of Grateful Dead fame, two years before Mickey joined up with the Grateful Dead in 1966.
Mick was in first rock-n-roll band at age 10, and shortly after finishing high school, he left for Los Angeles where in 1980 Mick, George Lynch and Don Dokken formed the band DOKKEN that enjoyed Gold and Platinum sales throughout the 1980s. Incidentally, this is the time where Mick was tagged with his now famous and trademark nickname, ‘Wild Mick Brown’.
DOKKEN was also honored with a prestigious Grammy nomination in 1989.
Wild Mick has remained an original member of DOKKEN for 30 years as of 2010, and since 2005 has been the timekeeper and pile driver for such supergroups as TED NUGENT and, more recently, MONTROSE, to name a few.
There’s nothing Wild Mick loves more than playing drums and being in a rock-n-roll band, and with any luck he’ll continue to do just that for a long time to come.
ROCK ON WILD MICK!!!
