A long time in the planning, this is a feature where drummers of note get to answer as many questions as possible in two minutes. However, as you''ll see, these are NOT your usual ''What sticks do you use?'', ''When did you start to play?'' type questions. These are more delving and more personal allowing us to find out who the real person behind the ''drummer'' really is.
Just before the NAMM show in January 2011, Mike was invited over to Los Angeles to attend a special event. There would be loads of well known drummers present as well and this proved to be the perfect opportunity to kick start the ''Two Minutes With...'' feature. Armed only with an iPad (for the questions), an iPhone (for the stopwatch) and an HD Flip video, Mike recorded the first of the interviews you are about to see.
The clever thing about having a two minute time limit is that you don''t have time to think, you have to answer quickly and concisely. This can lead to some interesting replies...
