When we first met Tim Commandeur, he was better known as Timmy. The baby-faced drummer was still in high school when he joined Operator Please, and by the time they'd graduated they'd become one of the biggest names in Australian indie. Those days are long gone, but Tim is able to look back on them fondly while still forging ahead as one of the country's most active drummers. Pounding the skins for both Tkay Maidza and PNAU, Commandeur still plays to massive audiences all over the place - and he's never lost his love for the instrument. With a bit of brief downtime between tours, Tim spoke openly and honestly about his time as a teen sensation, his solo work and performing to crowds the world over.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
