Thanks for checking out episode 13 of Drum For The Song podcast featuring Mikkey Dee who is the new drummer of German hard rock veterans Scorpions but was also the drummer in Motörhead for 24 years! I am your host Dane Campbell and I play drums in Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons and Straight Lines.
During the conversation we talk about how having a musical family inspired Mikkey to play drums and how he saw Deep Purple live at age 7 and how he turned down Lemmy Kilmister to join Motörhead - twice! He also explains why playing a Scorpions show if more demanding than a Motörhead show ever was and why he never enjoyed playing the song 'Going To Brazil' live. He also talks about why he doesn't like Motörhead's Hammered album and how Lemmy was sometimes difficult to work with in the studio, which led to Mikkey leaving the band during the recording of the Overnight Sensation album! He also talks about his Wincent drumsticks and how he uses three different weights and combines them for different songs, why he doesn't like practice pads and why you should be looking at the ergonomics of your drum kit now!
