I agree this guy comes up with really great drum beats!! I liked him with king!!

I remember seeing King Diamond videos when I was a 12 year old kid back in the 80’s and even back then I knew there was something special about his playing. He was just a few steps above most of the other metal drummers at that time. He has a unique groove to his playing…perfectly placed accents combined with power and finesse and a ton of creativity. Mikkey is one of the best in the biz and has been for a loooooong time.

As a drummer and metal fan myself I disagree. He is a superb drummer for the rock/metal genre but metal has evolved with some real insane drummers. Check out Thomas Haake or why not George Kollias or Elliot Hoffman. I mean there is so many great drummers the list goes on forever. Nicki D is a legend in the game and a great drummer but tbh he is pretty mediocre drummer. He got a cool name and look tho!

@@Goreburger. I don't think that new drummers can obsolete old ones. Yes, we all know that as time goes on, the standard of skill rises in drumming, in anything really. There are literally kids in their bedrooms that make the most well known and influential drummers of yesteryear look like amateurs. I think it's important to consider the environment that a drummer existed in. How original they were, how they compared to their peers, how they contributed to the music of the band and the genre, and so on. When someone says "one of the greatest" they are talking about all these things in combination, not just the technical skill of the drummer. For example Mike Mangini is a magician technically, but many fans believe he doesn't overall contribute to the band like Portnoy did. Whether that's true or not is up for debate, but what I'm saying is it's important to think about claims of "the greatest" in a bit more of a broad light. I actually think it's often a dumb conversation to be honest... Metalheads can talk for hours about this shit and get nowhere lol. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk

Alright I am glad to know that you are a big fan of the scorpions band and for sure we the bands will try our best to give you more hits to our music That you could possibly dance too whenever you listen to it. Question, have you ever been to any of our concerts before ?

Mikkey is awesome. "Them" changed everything I knew about metal drumming. Learning to play "Welcome Home" helped me bridge my playing style between my two loves, prog (like Rush) and metal (like Maiden and Queensryche).

"When you wanna go to 11, that's when you're gonna use that one." Great reference! :)

Saw Mikkey Dee numerous times with Motörhead, they were also one of my first gigs as a teen on the Motorizer tour. Mikkey's drumming left a huge impression and even got to meet him a couple of times, very nice guy; happy to hang with fans and always with a big smile. Go Mikkey!

I toured with Motorhead when Phil and Wurzel first joined the band. Pete Gill was on the throne for Motorhead, Kim Rusch for Mercyful Fate and Dan Beehler for Exciter. Night after night I got to hear those guys pounding the drums and thrilling fans. As great as that was, I never got to do that with Mikkey on drums with motorhead. Lem used to talk very highly of Mikkey, long before he joined the band. So when Mikkey did join, I got to see why. without a doubt, Mikkey is one of the best rock drummers to date.

Mikkey!! Great lengend. This brought back a number of rather happy memories.

Yes!!! One of the original drum monsters

This song is an amazing showcase for an amazingly energetic yet machine like in precision drummer/ liv😅bg legend. What an ANIMAL!!

Tuve la oportunidad de ver a ese animal en vivo y les juro que el roadie salió como 500 veces para ajustar los parales y los platillos. Ese monstruo le pega duro a la batería y lo mejor es que es la persona más sencilla del mundo. Luego del concierto en Caracas, se fue a un bar, se tomó 736363 cervezas, improvisó algunas cosas con la banda local y se fue con una muchacha que conoció en el mismo local.

I saw mister Mikkey Dee in Monster of Rock festival at Rio de Janeiro in 96, one of the greatest references to me on playing DRUMS. Love you Sir.

After playing Zildjian for 30 years, I recently switched to Paiste and this video reinforces why - they sound so pristine and clean and just cut through. That ride is an absolute beast!!

Sacrifice is such an amazing drum track.

Absolute Metal Drummer Legend!

As a former drummer for hire for other styles of music (now in my 50's) I can say with 100% honesty that when Mr Dee is playing in my car I expect to get a speeding ticket. Thank you sir.

Absolutely phenomenal. Saw you with scorpions in Hollywood florida I'm still watching your solo thank you .
