Years ago I drove Mikkey from Waldrock in the Netherlands back to the airport Schiphol. We had a nice conversation about home children and all kinds of stuff outside the music. What a nice guy

[@AlbertMoyerJr]

Mikkey is a humble drummer. I love the way he presents his kit.

[@kittywampusdrums4963]

I saw him live when he played in Motorhead. I stood like 10 feet away. It was glorious.

[@AlbertMoyerJr]

@@kittywampusdrums4963 That is cool!

[@Jimawio]

Ofcourse he is humble, he is Swedish 😄

[@joeyjag666]

I was Mikkey’s tech during the king diamond days. ( them tour) It was a both a honor and a pleasure working for Mikkey. I had the best seat in the house. Great guy , fantastic drummer. Great meter & killer chops. Great sense of humor and a big hockey fan. Always took the time to chat with his fans. Always looked forward to seeing him when he was in town with Motörhead many times. We were going out to a club after a Motörhead show in Chicago . He saw some kids waiting for a bus after the show on a very cold winter nite. He said Joey please pull over. We pull over and he rolls down the window, the look on the kids faces was priceless. He got out took pics signed stuff , shook hands gave hugs. No rockstar nonsense with this guy. Perfect fit for scorpions. My favorite Swede….😂

[@user-kf3vq4bn7y]

Swede - Greek

[@Acemechanicalservices]

Do you remember a show at the Channel in Boston, Flotsam and Jetsam opening, and King didn’t go on because of voice issues, but the band played alone anyway? Plus they built a house on the stage.😊

[@joeyjag666]

@@Acemechanicalservices Sure do The houses were an attempt to recreate the the album cover ...sorta. real pain in the ass to set up. Had some good times at the channel. Unlike that crap hole the living room in Providence ...

The confidence and calm attitude of an seasoned musician.

I love how all the years of drumming has taught him how to drum safe and drum for longevity. Mikkey is awesome

[@peevee605]

Rock solid. I’m a very proud Swede when it comes to Mikkey Dee. What a world class drummer.

[@themaddrummerofficial]

I met Mikkey a few years ago at NAMM. He was EXACTLY like this in person. He was a complete gentleman. 🙏

Such perfection! Such COMMAND!!LOVED YOUR SOLO! I WAS IN AWE! GREAT PHENOMENAL BAND!! ALL OF YOU!!! Went to Vegas 4. 23 .2024 ..my 1st time seeing the Scorpians. My life has been changed,since.Thank you guys!!!

[@chriszaferes5984]

One of the BEST drummers and so underrated! His King Diamond days couldn't be touched!

[@StumptownDrummer]

There it is! The "underrated" comment. Can't have a drum video on YT without somebody saying that a particular drummer is "underrated."

[@pearlguy6351]

Gotta love Mikkey D and Tommy A and Gene H and Charlie B and all these incredible rock legends 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🤘

[@haythijs]

Great kit, great drummer. Nice to see how humble he is and still delivers!

[@luisrene2633]

Mikkey one of the best rock drummer's out there...

[@dietermuller8625]

He always plays the same Solo...since Years. So boring.There are many others , which are much better. Ian Paice,Keith Carlock, Alex van Halen, Ray Luzier....

[@GG-ml3vr]

​​@@dietermuller8625 Nothing stinks more than negative comments about drummers more than this(are you even a drummer?)if yes we are ment to support and understand each other in our art.The first comment only says mikkey is a great drummer,which he obviously is so why start comparing him to equaly brilliant musicians..If you want to bitch on like this i suggest you pick up a Les Paul🤷‍♂️

[@kitcarson3714]

​@@dietermuller8625 buuuuu

Mikkey’s drumming on King Diamond’s “Them” and “Conspiracy” albums were so influential to my personal journey of drumming.

[@gregthompson7053]

Don’t forget Abigail and fatal portrait

[@bigloaded8324]

@@gregthompson7053 Yep, those are great too. “Them was so inspirational to me. He killed it on that album in my opinion.

[@inmemoryofin]

It's funny how he seems to downplay the KD material when he does interviews. Some absolute favorite drumming on Abigail and Them.

[@jordanfontes7269]

Very clear explanation of each piece, and how it's played. Mickey Dee is a class act. 🥁

As someone said once "the best drummer in the world Mikkey Dee!"

[@raythackston1960]

I bought a silver sparkle kit in the late 90's...I was looking at going with a chrome wrap. But the sparkle had lots of flashy without being too much. Had many different colors over the years but I just love these silver sparkle the best. I started with the DW 1000 pedals. LOve your playing Kikkey...you are super to watch live.

[@christerolausson2702]

The King Diamond era with Mikkey Dee is unmatched!

[@LRBerry]

Me and my son saw him with Motorhead in Manchester, England in 2012. My son bought us VIP passes for the soundcheck. Mikkey came out and chatted with us for a few minutes. He was a really nice guy and such a pleasure to be able to talk with him. I just wish Scorpions could get a full UK tour sorted because it has been such a long time since they toured here.

[@windwarattack2300]

Mikkey Dee is a Legend, a totally chill and cool dude

[@robbyramone6920]

[@Jeff.3]

I always told my friends that when they went to see shows where mikkey was on the drums, whether it was with motorhead or now the scorpions, that if you see blonde hair going crazy behind the drums, you are in for a fun time 😂

If Mikkey Dee were the drummer of a Roman galley, the journey time from Dover to New York would be less than 4 hours. His power drumming is contagious. MD one of a kind. Allways a pleasure Watching and hearing him play. A stroke of luck for the Scorpions and us fans !!! „The best Drummer in the world“ And who in this universe would dare to contradict Lemmy God bless Mikkey !!

[@Captainperfection]

I still consider this man to be the best drummer in the world and ill stand by that

[@Acemechanicalservices]

I went to a club in Boston called the Channel, a legendary small venue in the 80’s that no longer exists. I was there for Flotsam and Jetsam who were opening for King Diamond. He was having voice issues and didn’t play, but the band played without him anyway. They actually had what looked like an old house built on the stage. I remember that, and Mickey Dee.

[@re8746]

I saw Mikkey with Motorhead at Stubbs BBQ in Austin. Four years ago or so I saw him with the Scorpions in San Antonio.

I LOVE that even though it's not the same solo that he used to play with Motörhead there are many elements that he's transfered from that one.

Watched you play with motorhead at full force and was blown away. I played with DOA earlier in the day and you guys came in late but set up and gave it all you had which was incredible. I was touring with Randy Rampage at the time and he said, you gotta see this guy play the drums and he wasn't kidding. So glad you got this gig buddy. You deserve it for how kick ass you are.

[@fbettr2627]

I was so happy when SCORPIONS announced that the LEGENDARY Mikkey DEE was the group's new drummer. While James KOTAK is a talented rock drummer, I found that James extraverted personality wasn't a good fit for SCORPIONS personality-wise. Mikkey DEE is a perfect fit musically and personality-wise. Mikkey is GREEK/SWEDISH; Pavel is POLISH; and Klaus/Rufolf/Matthias are German, so they're all European. Mikkey DEE has rejuvenated SCORPIONS. Mr. DEE's talents and gifts on the drums have elevated the already MIGHTY SCORPIONS.

[@macadoo2530]

Kotex was a head case. Nice to see MD in the Scorps. Perfect fit.
