Mike Wengren's Gear
When it comes to his drum kit of choice, the Pearl Reference Series is the only kit for the heavy metal drummer. This kit is made to create Wengren’s desired drum sound, with each part of the kit engineered to create perfection within it’s tonal range and diameter. Each drum shell uses maple as its only material because it provides well balanced tone while the snare uses 6 inner plies of Birch combined with 14 outer plies of maple. This creates a 20 ply shell that allows for plenty of volume without restricting the snares clarity of sound, essential to sound of Disturbed.
