After all these years he still hasnt got the recognition he deserves.

[@purrswasian5747]

He is a badass. Luv him

[@Slamgod]

Absolutely agree. Hope to meet him someday.

[@josephwalton487]

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.

[@herocity1165]

He's totally underrated especially when it comes to kick drum patterns

[@Brazonthefly]

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

[@The_Crooked_Step]

Such an underrated drummer! Can't wait to see him play in may here in Norway.

[@CENTEXRailProductions]

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.

[@ZarekMunoz]

one of your best-edited videos, give your video guy and editor a raise!

[@TJandAmandaTravel]

Zarek Munoz Thank you! I agree. 😉

[@steeezyjoey]

This guy Beast! Reason I started playing Drums.

[@fabianlichtin2898]

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

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

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.

[@GGDrummer]

Awesome drum set!! Great drummer. Congrats Pearl Drums and Mike. 👏👊🤘🥁🔥

[@jaycha4983]

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.

[@ItsukiKun92]

One of my favorite drummer in the world, and one of the reason that make me to start playing drum!

[@NikkiNexo777]

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!

[@RickyFicarelli]

Man this is such a killer piece! Amazing looking & SOUNDING drums!

[@jpbs7292]

such a cool, down to earth dude! what an awesome experience to see him talk and be all positive and happy

[@davidcurtis4478]

Great video! Kit looks awesome! 🤘🤘

[@resuelva]

Awesome video! You’re the best mike. Keep rockin.

[@tillross4078]

Way Cool , I have always been a Pearl Fan ,, for me the only way to go ,, Great Interview ,, Thanks for sharing 👍

[@vandavis911]

mike wengren my hero.

[@GuitarsGoingSolo]

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

[@Laurieblack-nu7zr]

Love you Mike!!!

[@WhyTheHorseface]

I like his band more after seeing this, and I’m gonna put their latest record on during my workout today.

[@anthonywatkins3153]

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!

[@mikethereptileguy250]

My favourite kit of his is still the indestructible kit. That album was so good

[@tsandphotog]

Such a cool guy!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesfranklin8269]

Your an awesome Drummer dude awesome kit pearl the best reason why we play Drums 💪 🥁

[@Brentranome]

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.

[@Damien-qv3fi]

Hope you get your dream man \m/ keep rockin

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Damn, that's such a sick set up

[@April_Crawford-NAFO]

He is one hell of a drummer! In Down with the sickness he was all I listen to, those drums haunt me.

[@JCordoba1001]

I remember the red masters he used for the believe tour, those looked nice

[@thevengefulone57]

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.

[@labret2]

I like his style if playing. It is kinda tribal and very easy to recognize.

[@JakeStaffin]

Pearl, when things start opening up again, please get Mike to set up all his Pearl kits and talk about them/play them!!

[@totterdell]

I fucken love Mike Wengren fantastic drummer

[@vandavis000]

Mike rocks

[@Pirelli913]

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.

[@Sporacle]

Pearl shells and Zildjian or Paiste cymbals (or both)

[@lizardparadise2978]

Does anyone know the song playing in the background?

[@loudtowncar]

Anybody know what pedals he’s rocking?

[@laurenced2916]

When will we get a Mike Wengren signature snare drum??

[@youssefballajdir4276]

Song in background ?? Name

[@glendak3546]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXnCZaSJlMl3aZI I got a chance to yell, "I love you, David!" My kid moved to another seat! Lolssss!

[@darkmvz6186]

2.30 "stripped down acoustic version songs" that idea got abandoned in the end

[@cDisturbed.]

They evans ec2 skins?

[@darkdrp]

I’m going to say it mike is better than Joey Jordison.

[@user-ir6hi8od6x]

DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@derpymcderpster5526]

But the real question is... has he ever seen someone play it using a Rock Band Drum Kit?

[@joetroutt7425]

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

[@b1akn3ss93]

So yea . he's still "Down with the Sickness"

[@mattcrawford6826]

"Actual DNA chambers" I'm sorry, what?
