Mikkey Dee

Mikkey Dee is, to me, the archetype of the lifelong working drummer. Powering Motorhead for over two decades and now anchoring the Scorpions, with stops alongside King Diamond and Helloween, he has lived inside heavy metal his entire career. What I respect is the durability: still pounding the kit decades on, never coasting on past glory. A Gothenburg native who became essential to British and German metal alike, he reminds me that the best musicians are often the relentless craftsmen in the back, not the frontmen, and I find that endlessly cool.
