Mike Terrana (born January 21, 1960) is an American hard rock and heavy metal drummer.

Career

His first professional work was in 1984, with the MCA band Hanover Fist from Toronto, Canada.[1] Between 1987 and 1997, he was based in Los Angeles and collaborated with various guitarists, including Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony Macalpine, and Steve Lukather, as well as bands like Kuni and Beau Nasty.[citation needed]

In 1997, Terrana relocated to Europe—first to the Netherlands for six months and then to Germany.[2] He worked with German bands and artists such as Rage, Gamma Ray, Savage Circus, Axel Rudi Pell, Roland Grapow, and Masterplan.[3]

Since 2007, he has performed with the German band Razorback.[4]

In 2016, Terrana joined the Italian heavy metal band Vision Divine.[5] In 2017, he became a member of the metal bands Avalanch (Spain) and Kreyson (Czechia).[6][7]
