Great interview, he is really passionate.

I love what he says about people playing with feeling.  Though he doesn't specifically address the criticism he has received, I always thought it was bullshit people say he doesn't play with a lot of "feel"

When was it recorded? By the clips it may seem that during of after the European tour in 2015.

I think since he is so focused on theory, that it gives some the impression that he is too clinical in his playing, and thus not playing with feel, but I, too, think it is bull shit.  The band never would have picked him as their new drummer five plus years ago if he was all technique and no feel.

Anyone that has ever seen him play live cannot accuse him of playing without  feeling.

Great interview, I love the level of enthusiasm and passion that guy maintains, it never gets to be "business as usual" with him.

"Don't tell me it doesn't have any feeling. It practically made me go to the bathroom." :lol

Mike is such a great guy, very humble despite his incredible abilities, and he is so passionate talking about music in general.
