Mike Joyce is a British drummer best known for his work with the influential alternative rock band The Smiths. His drumming style, characterized by its crisp, steady rhythms, played a crucial role in shaping the band's sound during the 1980s. Influenced by punk rock and post-punk music, Joyce's approach combines the raw energy of early punk with a more refined, melodic sensibility. After The Smiths, he continued to work with various artists, bringing his distinctive rhythmic touch to a range of musical projects.
