Watch all three interviews on this page!

In this full-length Drum Talk TV interview, Mike talks with us about what makes the Winery Dogs so universally appealing, and he tells us who some of his lesser known influences are (including praise for Lars Ulrich and Phil Collins).

Find out which contemporary drummers he admires the most–and who he thinks is the most physically entertaining drummer since Keith Moon.

Mike’s an avid film buff–he recommends a film that’s the ultimate “must watch” –and he encourages you to go and watch it!
