What advice does Mike give in regards to “making it” as a drummer?
MP: I think the key is to play with other people. Drummers can be the greatest players in the world playing in their bedrooms, but it’s useless unless you are communicating and sharing these ideas with other musicians. It is by playing with as many other musicians as possible that you will grow as a player and become more and more comfortable creating music, not to mention that it is how you make connections for the music business.
