Mike Portnoy Doesn't Consider Himself A Great Drummer
. He tells RockMap: "All the awards to me are very flattering but also intimidating because they then put this expectation on me, and I don't consider myself a great drummer - I consider myself just a music fan that's a very passionate artist and the drums just happen to be my instrument. "But every time I win one of these awards, it's nice but I don't want people to think that I think I'm this great drummer because to me, I'm just a kid playing drums and I love music. I don't even like doing drum solos live - it doesn't really interest me." Portnoy has a busy 2016 ahead and will split his time between The Winery Dogs, Twisted Sister, Metal Allegiance and the Neal Morse Band. But he refuses to take the credit for his success and say it's his fans who have helped shape his career. Read more and watch the full interview here.
