- Join Modern Drummer for an up-close and personal experience with Disturbed's Mike Wengren, as we delve into the details of his custom "Pearl Reference One" drum kit. Before the concert, Mike treated us to a special rendition of "Prayer," enhanced with an impressive pyrotechnic show, courtesy of the talented Disturbed production team.
Mike, alongside his drum tech Dave Nester, generously invited us to remain for the main event, offering us a unique opportunity to capture a behind-the-scenes walk-on shot right from the drum set during their performance of "Down with the Sickness." We're excited to share this experience with you and hope you find it as thrilling as we did!

Thanks for having me, Modern Drummer 🤘🔥
The pleasure is ours! It was a great day! 🔥 (Not for the 🕷️spider💀)
Thanks for the shoutout Mike!!!
Been with you since the Sickness and dropping plates. You are amazing and such a grounded group. I have a 2006 Pontiac GTO I bought new. Your first 2 albums have been in the 6 disc changer since then.
Mike Wengren has been and always will be my favorite drummer. He was the first drummer when I started listening to metal when I was about 8 years old and when I was in my friends band I made my drum kit almost like Mike's with the double high hats, but I only used one kick. Love Mike and rock on 🤘🤘
Love that tune, Dropping Plates!!@@ontherunjg
I remember when I first started playing, and being obsessed with Mike and his kits. Long time sabian player, and his 10000 fists tour kits is still one of the most badass setups I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the early inspiration Mike!
Ok, that shot with the fire is *chefs kiss*
That’s one of coolest drum sets I’ve seen. The divide in the middle of ice and fire like the album art is a creative idea
I don't want to take anything away from Mike here, but I have to comment on the lead singer (David Drainman) of this band. I have seen interviews with him and he is the most well-spoken, eloquent, intelligent rocker that I have ever heard interviewed. That dude really can think and speak. The first time I heard him interviewed, I was frankly sitting with my mouth hanging open. The entire band is top notch talent.
Great video. Not enough recent Mike content on CZcams. He’s such a solid player. That kit is so nice.
I've always loved Mike's grooves and interesting patterns he plays that incorporate those tom polyrhythms. Often it's not so much what he plays that's striking as it is the choice moments where he allows the track to breathe with some brief pauses. Doesn't overcomplicate things and is still cool despite giving room for the other instrumentation and singing. Every time they come through the wife and I go see Disturbed. It's become a ritual with us. The couple times we've had the opportunity to meet and talk with them, they've been nothing but friendly and generous of their time. Looking up at the signed Evans g1 head on my wall and smiling. Thanks Mike and thank you Modern Drummer for showcasing one of my fave drummers!
PERFECT TIMING ON THE PYRO TESTING!!!
Wengren is KING KONG on drums 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 amazing new drumkit, killer ass style of playing, always matching his kick drum patterns to Dan's guitar riffs, note for note. That ROCKS!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Amazing how different pro drummers are from each other. Can see his foot technique is very unique with looks like very low spring tension. Yet they all get the job done well with their very different techniques.
thank you for the shoutout Mike... it was an honor (hectic one at that) to cerakote all the parts for you!!!
Really nice work on the cerakote guys. Was great to see it in person. Very clean, smooth look.
Mikes my favorite drummer. I learned all disturbed songs. Kits awesome mike.❤😊
Chicago in the house!!
Back In the day he was promoting a line called AA Metal X my first real cymbal pack still using the Hi Hats and ride cymbals!!!
I'm an old school Deadhead but I married a little lady that is a headbanger. She has gotten me to see this band live as well as the likes of Staind, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Wolf and that kind of thing. I still love the Dead, but these kinds of bands really PERFORM for the crowd. I mean like our money MEANS something to them. This band specifically, really impressed me. Those pedals are absolutely sick.
Mike has become one of my favorite drummers 🥁
his intro to "down with the sickness" is iconic
David Nester is the man in the drummer/drum tech game 🔥
He seems like a very down to earth and cool dude.
Awesome interview! Seems like a cool dude. Mike the double kick master, love your drumming! 👍
As a firefighter going to your Peoria show January 19th…. I approve this video !!! 👨🏻🚒 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘. 🔥
The dull coated black headwear caught my eye quickly wicked kit 🤘🏼
Incredible kit for a great drummer!
The perfect drum set doesn’t exsi…Love the matte hardware. Epic kit.
Thanks for the insight Mike!!! Drum kits are so much more complex than I thought. Very cool. See you on tour in February!!!
I have a kit wrapped by sic skins glad to know mike uses them.
Mike is one of the best rock and roll drummers I ever seen 🔥
I love you mike ❤❤
Amazing kit - Ty for sharing- Mike is the man- super down to earth.
This kit is so beautiful! 🤘
Killer!
I saw them in Great Falls, MT a while ago with Egypt Central opening... By far one of the best concerts I've been!! Solid drumming, sir. I learned a lot, that I still apply today.
Love Disturbed and Mikes playing!
The kit is beautiful
Great video. Great drummer. Great time!!!👍👍👍
Really enjoyed the interview Mike met u guys back in 08 I met my hero loved every moment of it tell Dan that I got better at foozball he's good one shot he scores have a great tour love ya guys😊
It's always cool to see the perspective from the drummer! Reaaaaaaly hope to see you in Austin, TX this year!
Sick kit!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome kit

Killer job with the video guys! Stoked on how it turned out!! 🤘🏼
AWESOME
WE NEED THIS GUY IN OUR BAND
That’s cool
Heya Mike... Thanks for the insight mate. Hope to see you down here in South Oz soon...😄👍
Me : I wonder if Mike'll play just a little bit of, "Prayer" - my favorite drum track of his
10 seconds into the video.. SWWWEEEEET! 🥁🔥
That hardware looks awesome
Mike looks like a freakin Viking with his hair and beard like that. So badass.
Soo Cool And Awesome Love It Soo Rocks💯❤️🔥☠️🖤🎶💜🤘
Love the configuration of this setup, and the colors. Why the hell did he skip out on the cymbals? 🙄🙄
Loved this video, pls do more metal drummer rundowns🤘🔥👍
I love Wengren's original style. You don't hear many drummers like him. Great video!
I dig the cymbal / hihat on the Uh of the beat. Very cool and something I'm going to borrow!
I'm definitely hating hard hahaha that kit is beautiful I didn't know disturbed had double bass parts but either way I would love to play on that thing
Indestructible drummer of all time
Daddy long legs just fell on the drum!!
Wow great🎉🎉👍👍🌟🌟👏👏🇸🇰
Sweeeet!
Mike Wengren is my favorite drummer (alive... John Bonham)
Amazing drummer and an amazing drum kit.
its a rig rundown and you cant be bothered to run through the cymbals, sabian must be stoked! (and they arnt listed in the disciption)
Mike is a real pro!
Cutting the moongels in smaller pieces and putting them near the screws is actually a great idea i think i'll try that
The McDLT kit: keeps the hot side hot and the cold side cold.
One of the most amazing drummers ever. I can't believe he uses those big beaters. Those marshmallow beaters still I thought people didn't use those. No more. Wow! Just goes to show that sometimes the old stuff can come back.
What a drum set 😍😍😍
The looks of it is amazing, but what me even more amazed is the fact how awesome his set sounds 👏🙏
I would love to play a few beats on this drum set and have fun with it 😍
Mike is using Sabian cymbals, that makes him instantly sympathetic 😉
Thx for this interesting video and best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
🤘🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@4:49 - "My kicks are pumped in though here (the throne)" Are you kidding me, man?? You get something like haptic feedback through your throne??? That is really fuggin cool. Why do you do that? What was the reasoning behind setting that up?
My thing with him is how do you achieve the sound he had for the Sickness album and Believe..and then ever change that kit ever..that was the best sounding kit in music.
❤
5:08 Is there a special edition of the new album??
I'm disappointed he didn't go through his cymbal set up
Mee too!
i love disturbed🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fuck yea I was at the WPB show...
I'm currently buying a set of Sabian cymbals myself! What hi-hats does Mike use? I saw they were AAX, but I can't see exactly what they are.
14" AAX Metal Hats
@@metaldrummer47 I don't even see those when I look them up. Do they make them anymore?
@@LWDrumz I don't believe so
✌💜🤘
😎😎😎
0:24 always thought Mike would play the off beat 16ths with his left foot, turns out im wrong
When he is talking about his throne, he mentions his kicks are pumped in through the throne. What does that mean?
Bello/Magnifico.🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
I absolutely love Mike's drumming, and measured use of double bass working to always keep his playing within the song. But, and sorry, but the one thing that seems a bit off, especially live is I think he tunes his kit too high. That Pearl kit should sound like cannons going off every time he plays.
Dude knows how to play in the pocket. Love his style
Mike Wengren has the most tasteful double kick drum technique in Hard Rock.
0:35 anyone recognise those boots? they look tough, comfortable and understated. i want a pair.
Happened to be watching this video again and saw this comment. A little sleuthing leads me to believe he is wearing a variation of the Under Armour Stellar tactical boot in the video. I thought he usually wore Nike when drumming, but maybe those aren't his usual drumming shoes lol
It's not every day that you try to make a ribcage and end up making a drum set instead.
Okay now do a 16 minute long 320 bpm blast beat
rib cage motorcycle chopper
The groove of John Bonham+the finesse of Stewart Copeland+the technicality of Dave Lombardo=Mike Wengren!!
Guy’s a tantamount player and always will be.
😂😂😂😂
I’m surprised to see a professional drummer lifting their foot so high off the footboard like that.
🤍
The fact that he doesn’t list the cymbals in a rig rundown video is kind lame.
Super lame
1:35 Spiderify!!
Jesus, I would hate to be this guy’s drum tech having to loan all those drums and cymbals and stands night after night I think it’s more for the show than an actual need to need that many drums for a show More looks at me and my stage full of drums!!!!
Neil Peart …you are not !!
Mike, my man. You need more throw on your pedals, detaching like that is wasting energy and you are loosing power.
I think he knows what he’s doing bro 💀
I bet he regretted that foolish haircut the minute he did it. Good luck growing the back and sides back. haha.
He doesn't really need a double bass kit, any disturbed song can be played with a single pedal including avarice.
Play Liberate with one kick and send us the link
Someone tape his feet to the pedals
Not impressed
