You are right!

Amen to that

Amen

Mike is every bit as good as Mike (I guess that could get confusing) just different,

❤❤ Well said, friend.

Rightly said.... 😀

you just got urself a new subscriber and apparently a tractor connoisseur all of the sudden

Yeah, I figure anyone who can play in Dream Theater is not of this earth. Ooh, I just realised that was a Satriani reference. Bonus! 😁🎸🤘

This video confirms what we were thinking all along. Mike Mangini is an alien and his playing proves it

Just switches hands to play metric modulation patterns ambidextrous…no big deal. Fucking amazing!

st anger won a grammy xD

is no one gonna talk about how much better this is than the studio version, solely because of the drumming production.

@@AvgABC561 LOL

, F*ck yeah! It took Mangini to go above and beyond with the drumming to bring DT over the top to win them that Grammy.

sumbody covering mangini's parts with mp's style...i think it doesn't fit...

@@mrgreenpepper1097 I'm a red pepper bitch

Portnoy is way better.

@@EetFuk8 At specifically what? There’s too many aspects of drumming to determine. He’s definitely not faster than Mangini I can tell your that for fact. But there’s no point in comparing them anyways bc they’re both different beasts.

@@bradycowles5520 So, if being faster means being better to you, then all the faster drummers than Mangini are better than him. And being technically better does not mean being better either. Jordan Rudess has more techinique and pace than Kevin Moore, but it's undoubtedly certain that Kevin is way better. You have to be creative, have feeling, and show your passion through your instrument, which Mangini lacks thereof. That being said, I'm not a Portnoy fanboy, but when you compare the two, it's Portnoy who's definitely better. I know that Portnoy will never be back in Dt, but I want Dt to replace Mangini with a better drummer. I don't care how much technique or speed he has, he is just terrible on the drums. I don't feel anything when I listen to him, and his hits are so weak and dull. Just stop being a Mangini fanboy and accept his flaws.

Hahahahahahahaahhaha

🤣

lol

Hahaha 😂😂

wkwkwkwkwkwk

❤

Same!

Mangini was worst option for DT. Sound of his snare is... ahh... 🤮 Thomas Lang should by a drummer in DT.

@ivan sicaja I've seen Lang live with Paul Gilbert and he's excellent, but he's not a patch on Mangini, sorry. He auditioned for DT and wasn't right for them.

@@ivansicaja624 Yes, that snaresound is some sort of (can't describe it properly) dead. But the rest of the set is sonically huge.

@@julianmorgan5994 What do you mean especially?

He’s smart. He makes it look effortless and never comprised his body for the music. It’s crazy that he is near 60 and can play like this.

@@jimtownsend3910 i think its just extremely good technique. He burns way less calories than some other drummers while playing more notes. It just flows very naturally.

I dont think anyone would agree that lars is one of the best LOL

Not a great comparison 😉

Not sure why Lars was getting involved in this….

And relaxed too - as a master should look like.

@@tristantheuerkorn5124 you have to be fully relaxed and is the secret to pulling off this level of playing.

@@flabbergastmau Absolutely! I took lessons with Tommy Igoe and He said the thought I must play faster so I squeeze tighter is Absolutely wrong ! To play fast relax breathe and use rebound of sticks

Me neither

the only way is precision. Otherwise it's just a mess, with this many notes!!

Totally agree.. usually I focus more on the fight between petrucci and rudess or petrucci and myung😁😁

It deserves so much attention and respect. This guy is going to own the stage this tour

@@morbidmanmusic yup this is why people like the professor (neil peart, or octopuss danny (tool) are tecnically drumming gods

Agreed 👍

You said all

yesssss! I thought the same thing!!!

For the most part. This album should definitely feature his more unlocked capabilities though since he came up with this part or the song was written around this part I believe

Yeah.. I was ready since the time he was approved at the NY audition! It's time for JP to "rely" the drumming part on to MM

I still canr belive it man. Portnoys gona have his hands full trying to do any of This lol.

Portnoy fanboy pressure. I'm sorry, I love Portnoy... But this is a downgrade and I'm honestly disappointed at them for caving like this especially after sticking to their guns about him being permanent for 13 years. And then having Rudess say "of course there's no replacing the great Mike PORTNOY" in an Instagram promo mere days after the news of Mangini getting booted🫤

​@@2501vai only downgrade technical drumming .. no musicality

I'm sure this will be sacrilege to a lot of people, but I frankly find Portnoy's drumming to be repetitive to the point of being boring...not so much his earlier stuff, but in recent years anyway

@@wildandrumchannel3063what musicality? 😂 youre just portgay fanboy not dt, ok make sense 🤷‍♂️

Agreed. I got bored with Portnoy's predictable rolls and drumming. It was always the same or slightly modified. But in the end it was meh. Mangini was what DT needed to bring everything forward to a pinnacle. Now they're back with the old wife for their descent.

P.S. The new record is an absolute masterpiece. Mike's playing is the best of any DT record yet.

Panzerballett.

Talk about a crossover, I know you from Edd, Gus and Woody. Diving legends! You have great musical taste!

new Rush ? They were formed in 1985 and their carreer is almost to the end...new Rush :)))))

@@victorghioca5435how is it about to end 🤦🏻‍♂️

He's a savage beast my favorite drummer of all time with my favorite band of all time aka the dream team with Mike the Master Mangini it doesn't get any better than this

@@j.d.7208 X2 bro

Könnte nicht mehr zustimmen :) !

X3

Lol no

👽👽👽👽👽

Yeaaaahh. Thats nice!!!

😂😂😂

He’ll open the door, give you a huge smile and hand you a beer. He’s such an awesome guy if you ever get to meet him.

Hahaha !🤣🤣🖖🤟

i dont get it, what meaning of "wasn't disappointed at all"...

Guess I did!, just like Anika Niles playing effortlessly 😊

@@jimbosteen2935 I love her. Seems like an amazing person on top of how great her drumming is.

Same as a batter swinging 3 batts together

That's actually a common "trick" when rehearsing for a performance. In my early days playing bebop jazz and big band, this technique of practice was essential- especially for the speedy difficult sections.

he play live to a clicktrack so its a nice move to make, but if you are in a band that does not play with click on live concert then the you might speed up too much on a live stuation because of the "adrenaline" i guess.

@@hugorezende199 In my opinion, if you cannot keep pace without a click track as a drummer, you should use click track or metronome on live gigs. Speeding up on purpose is okay, doing it accidentally is not okay.

@@MikkoRantalainen Yes. Mangini dont have this problem, not only for his ability but also because he play to a click. Me, when a used to play on early ears i was speeding up, nowadays a pratcice to metronome and i now play way more controled on tempo on a live situation without a click, but i never speeded up song by 20bpm on training (i will try one day).

The time signatures ARE the Groove !

You play guitar right?

This is also about stamina

He has a almost symmetrical kit, not only the hi-hats. And he is changing sides a lot, yes.

I am a woman drummer and I play open handed and it's much easier! I didn't start out playing like that.

How does supersymmetry compare to regular symmetry? Lol

I have no arms.

@@Axispaw1 I have four.

I can't even comb my hair

@@Highwater2008 Don't feel bad, I can't comb your hair either.

I have no hair

What?

what (2) ?

I copy

His head in this section it's like a metronome isn't?

Petrucci at the Grammy acceptance said 17/8 timing.......ridiculous and impossible to count

These people don't even know what feel is. They also can't describe why they think MP is better without using that buzzword. Honestly, I'm so tired of this discussion. People need to move on.

@@Lu-ql Portnoy's playing is actually sloppy and that's what they think feel is! Mangini is so clean in His technique and they think that is robotic!

I liked how Portnoy was more often a little off beat (sloppy ? for purpose ?) or the way he used the cymbals even if i can’t really say why. Mangini is really a machine, strictly on the beat so i understand why some people may think he has less feelings, but his playing is so technical ! As a bassist, my preference goes to Portnoy as it matches more with my type of playing.

@@loicbourdellon6806 So You play sloppy too ?

That's exactly what me an my brother think, he's so accurate that people think he's like a machine. Almost like Data in The Next Generation except Mangini clearly has feel.

And using his left side drumming while doing that, let's just give up drumming bro, hahaha.... Monstrous performance, we can't keep up with this shit!!?

" Interesting to see MP play these beats in live later on." MP won't be capable of most of this.

@@ThePoorBoy I wouldnt be so sure… I always thought Mangini never put his full technical potential with Dream Theater, to be honest I think he used a small portion of what I’ve seen him doin during his Drums Lessons and clinics, for some reason or the other. My opinion is that his skills are far more superior than what Dream Theater would and could require, so he stuck on a ‘Portnoy level’. That’s why I think Portnoy will have no problems playing some Mangini era tunes.

Mike Mangini was created by the same people that made the Terminator ! Ceberdyne Systems

You know you're deep into prog-metal when you describe this as a "simple kit" lol

@@Christopher-md7tf Everyone remembers Portnoy's kit Lol, i think he had almost 30 symbols? I remember first seeing it and losing my shit.

🐐🐐🐐🐐

Well, my comment didn't age well 🤡 😂@@epdrummers

Certainly one of the best. Let's not forget guys like Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Chris Coleman, Dave Weckl, Vinnie Coliuata, Gergo Borlai, Steve Smith, Todd Sucherman and the plethora of other amazing drummers.

@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 also, the other MM, Marco Minnemann.

@@IndoFahmi Absolutely. And there are many more that people aren't even aware of.

The best in the Galaxy 🥵👽👽👽

Eloy Casagrande for shure

I don't think so

Ignorance can be very dangerous..

@@2112josh2112able What?

#facts

Maybe best metal drummer but Buddy Rich would laugh his ass off on this

@@Strepite but who knows if Buddy Rich could pay metal....Maybe he can't. Just because he's fast doesn't mean he'd be able to play metal....

@@Strepite I have been listening to Buddy Rich since 1982. I think overall Mike Mangini is better than Buddy . Buddy only really played Jazz Music mostly in 4/4 time , some 3/4. Mangini can play Jazz , Rock , Funk , Latin, Afro Cuban and more . Mangini also effortlessly plays in all kinds of crazy Time signatures. 5/8 , 7/8, 9/8...17/16 , and on and on. He has the speed of Buddy with the Brains of a musical Genius. Could Mangini play West story ...yes Could Rich play the Alien ...No

@@Strepite My 3 favorite drummers of all time Are Mike Mangini, Steve Smith , Buddy Rich. Steve Smith does some of the best drums solos. He does these drum melodies that don't need other instruments comping to enjoy

Mike the Master Mangini

oooohhh yurrrrr

i'd like to see you cover this XD

Yeah this is def not some Flamatuer hour stuff. Mangini rubbed his ass and balls all over possibly any DT drum track thus far. MAD SCIENTIST!

OHHHH yurr!!!

Hei, make reaction video of this !!!

I've been playing 16 years and decided to switch and become a Sandeich Artist at Subway

DAFUQQQ

Ya, I think I will become a truck driver. That was insane

Yep seeing this godly performance, we must gave drumming, i decide just selling some secondhand stuff ...

Gila lu ndro

Nope.

Agree. You mean Mike Terrana, Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini, and all others Mikes, right? 😁😁

that is pretty funny.

X3 👽👽👽👽🥵🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥

Dont forget Neil Part ;)
