This bloke is so underrated, Never over powers the music and just seems so well paced. after 30 years of listening to this band, they are a staple in my play list
He is absolutely fantastic! Just brilliant. I am 77 and my husband is 80.....HUGE Disturbed fans.... First time I heard them it was the drums that jumped out at us! Can't say enough!!!
It’s awesome to see a musician as successful as he is that still gets genuinely excited when discussing his gear. He sounds like he’s still so stoked to be playing Pearl drums as an official endorsee. Mike seems like such a nice dude, happy for him.
That's one of the things that really gets me is the drum kicks. And yea, I go NUTS when I hear that drum intro for Down With The Sickness. Even in my vehicle.
It took me many & various tutorials (until I got the deluxe cd) to see how Dan himself played it. It took me forever to learn The Sickness. Mom wanted to see me play it (she was terminally ill then) and when I finally mastered it, she passed on. However, I found myself covering that each time I practiced other songs. I only played with my friends band (when I was their Roady) after a few plays at gigs, I couldn't play it anymore, I'd think about my mother and I knew she was watching me from heaven. I play it rarely now. When I do decide to play it (like at practice earlier tonight) I was amazed that I remembered how to play it! I broke down a little but, powered through and succeeded.
It's cool to see how much mikes drum kits have evolved over the years, my favorite of the kits was the one for indestructible album. My god what a beautiful kit!
The absolute best sounding drums on the market. Some day I'll have to upgrade from my masters BRX, but it's been gigging with me for the last 12 years.
I'd love to see Mike and Thomas Hakke collab sometime, they're both drummers who're known for their absolutely nutty kick patterns, so it'd be nice to see them collab.
It's funny, I play Pearl too, but not because of Mike. I just got my kit over 20 years ago and the first kit I got is still the kit I play. There was a (now defunct) website called Midwest Percussion where I got all my Pearl hardware and Zildjian cymbals where they actually had Mike as their main guy in the Pearl section of their store.
Mike's drums are the first thing you hear and he sets the pace for nearly every song. I love him! I saw Disturbed and took my youngest son to see them in Fayetteville back in 2010 or 11, he was 18 years old, I think. It was a smaller place than these bands are accustomed to, I'm sure, but the economy was taking a hit and even Korn was there for a little bit. They were doing Music As a Weapon Tour. th-cam.com/video/3H_4qS_dD30/w-d-xo.html I got a chance to yell, "I love you, David!" My kid moved to another seat! Lolssss!
I played pearl for a really long time but there better sounding drums out there. Mine were world series maple shells with a birch middle ply. Deep Tom's. 12 13 14 16 22 " kick
After all these years he still hasnt got the recognition he deserves.
He is a badass. Luv him
Absolutely agree. Hope to meet him someday.
Wow...man, it is cool to see and know that fame doesn't change everyone. Dude just seems like a down to Earth kind of guy.

He's totally underrated especially when it comes to kick drum patterns
Such an underrated drummer! Can't wait to see him play in may here in Norway.

one of your best-edited videos, give your video guy and editor a raise!
Zarek Munoz Thank you! I agree. 😉
One of my favorite drummer in the world, and one of the reason that make me to start playing drum!
This guy Beast! Reason I started playing Drums.

Down with the sickness is probably one of the greatest songs to play on the drums

Awesome drum set!! Great drummer. Congrats Pearl Drums and Mike. 👏👊🤘🥁🔥
such a cool, down to earth dude! what an awesome experience to see him talk and be all positive and happy
Man this is such a killer piece! Amazing looking & SOUNDING drums!
It's cool to see how much mikes drum kits have evolved over the years, my favorite of the kits was the one for indestructible album. My god what a beautiful kit!
Love the new kit Mike! My first kit was also a Pearl Export back in the mid-80s when I was 15. I've been playing Pearl Drums ever since. Love them!
I still can't get over how amazing the overall drum tone on "The Best Ones Lie" from Evolution is! More specifically the rack toms, holy shit
Love you Mike!!!
Way Cool , I have always been a Pearl Fan ,, for me the only way to go ,, Great Interview ,, Thanks for sharing 👍
The absolute best sounding drums on the market. Some day I'll have to upgrade from my masters BRX, but it's been gigging with me for the last 12 years.
My favourite kit of his is still the indestructible kit. That album was so good
He is one hell of a drummer! In Down with the sickness he was all I listen to, those drums haunt me.
I like his band more after seeing this, and I’m gonna put their latest record on during my workout today.
Great video! Kit looks awesome! 🤘🤘
I remember the red masters he used for the believe tour, those looked nice
mike wengren my hero.
Awesome video! You’re the best mike. Keep rockin.
I'd love to see Mike and Thomas Hakke collab sometime, they're both drummers who're known for their absolutely nutty kick patterns, so it'd be nice to see them collab.
Such a cool guy!! 🔥🔥🔥

Pearl shells and Zildjian or Paiste cymbals (or both)
When will we get a Mike Wengren signature snare drum??
Mike rocks
2.30 "stripped down acoustic version songs" that idea got abandoned in the end
Does anyone know the song playing in the background?
Mike, I want an autographed stick please! Since Ozzfest! Please, Bonnie

I played pearl for a really long time but there better sounding drums out there.
Mine were world series maple shells with a birch middle ply. Deep Tom's. 12 13 14 16 22 " kick
