Interview with

Mikkey dee

Here we go , the first PAISTE TO PAISTE interview . I have to thank Gianluca and Christian , who gave me the opportunity to be part of the Paiste family . They have been incredibly supportive of the idea of a drummer interviewing another drummer , and I had the chance to start with the great Mikkey Dee from Motorhead / Scorpions . I was very glad to share the stage with him a couple of years ago , and I will never forget his energy . I witnessed first person the magic he created on stage with Lemmy and Phil . Another big thanks , this time to Mikkey , for agreeing on being interviewed and sharing his thoughts on so many topics . Everybody , enjoy the interview to one of the greatest drummers of the past 40 years .
What does playing drums mean to you ?
I started playing drums when I was 4 years old . Which means it ’ s definitely a big component of my life . It ’ s as if I asked you what breathing means to you ! It ’ s something I have to do to keep going . I just love it .
When did you realize that you could actually be a professional drummer ?
