man i'll miss you Mike, you brought drumming to a new level in DT in your time there, deceptively complex drumming that wasn't complex for showing off but rather just blended in so well with the other instruments. Stuff that might have sounded so smooth and easy until you think about it and then it blows your mind. Best wishes onwards mate.
He was on another level. I always though Dream Theater was a good band, but something was always missing, and it was the drummer. I'm so thankful and grateful for the work produced when Mangini was with them.
@@drillcream I think that’s what everyone would’ve preferred but it’s not like it was mangini who forced portnoy to leave. The fact people are still pressed over it makes me laugh lol.
@@nathandrums0 I'm just sick of people comparing portnoy to mangini. The comments are all over TH-cam, especially when you watch DT drum covers by a certain TH-camr - attributing portnoy to manginis work *facepalm*
@@drillcream absolutely agree. It’s been 11 years and people still do it. Even after Portnoy went to a DT show and expressed his favor of Mangini, people still are rude 🙄
Frightening. His speed, dynamics and limb independence is ungodly. And did you hear those single-hand rolls? 😳 His set up is really innovative and the droms sound phenomenal. Hell yeah!
I got to meet and have dinner with him when he did a drum clinic at the shop where I taught. The crew from the shop, Doug Smith who was the Pearl rep at the time. The most incredible drummer I ever witnessed - even after seeing Donati and Minneman in clinic. Mike was the nicest guy, and he was chatting with me most of the time. He's so relatable, funny, kind, witty, and gregarious. Somewhere the owners of the shop have a picture of Mike Mangini together in Waterford, MI! Two dudes the same height and black hair!
I connect with him because portno left dream theatre before I run listened to them and I watched manginis drum audition and it moved me he wanted it so much
@@greekfreek4657 Really? I would've said it the other way around. Mangini is having an absolute blast when he plays. His passion shines through much more strongly than Portnoy.
FuzzyTriangles watch some of the old drumcams Mike Portnoy used to make. I think both Mikes are equally passionate about drumming and equally amazing players.
Спасибо ....Я получил настоящее удовольствие ... Я в возрасте , мне 60 лет . В юности цвлекался барабанами , играл в группе . Хочу купить установку и обучить свою внучку ...К сожалению не хватает средств ...Всем , кто связан музыкой , поклон и крепкого здоровья ...Музыка , это мир ...
Never paid that much attention into his solos, but now that i did.. I was frustrated and sad the day DT announced MP back, because their last album with Mangini was very inspired and fresh and i was looking forward to their next one with the writing chemistry they had established with MM in the band. I regret not having seen them live since 2011, because it never crossed my mind MM would not be their last drummer. This guy can play with one arm what most drummers can't with two. Oh, and this solo is a-b-s-u-r-d. What a pity we won't get to listen his input in DT again. Thank you Mike and you have my utmost respect for your behaviour, your professionalism, your good heart, sense of humour, humility and overall good vibes. Wish you nothing but the best, you deserve them all 👏♥️🙏
Mr. Mike Mangini, you were born great. Been following and listening to you since you were a child. You rocked us all thru high school. It was easy to see you were totally on another level. Phenomenal all around Musician !! An obvious amazing talent combined with lot's of hard work and in my opinion the G.O.A.T on those drums💪. May God continue to bless you and yours.✌💘 !! Rock On Big Guy !!
What he needs next is to evolve the ring of drums into the drum ball, like the hamster ball. Surrounded by drums at every imaginable angle, in a drum kit that is built in a geodesic sphere, that can be rolled around on the stage, with him strapped securely into the seat and able to play while the ball is rolling. Bonus points if he can drive the ball at the same time.
I've always liked how expressive musician's faces are while they force themselves to sound as perfect as possible, feels like the skill is leaking through their faces
Those who say this solo is boring do not understand the technicality of it. As a drummer, I can say this is an amazing solo. It's not just a bunch of super fast fills like most modern solos are.
Lars was pretty decent from Kill 'em All to AJFA, then he remained stuck on the same slow beat and patterns from the black album onwards. Such a shame.
I am no drummer, but Mangini's technical prowess boggles my mind, and the fact that he makes it all look so effortless is amazing. It's sad that some people don't rate his skills as highly as they should, but I guess it's down to the fact that they can't possibly understand what it takes.
The things I hear, and yes... his skills are through the roof, but what I hear is that ritme wise it's all the same. Like he's playing with a metronome and even that is oké but I mis some sort of feel to it. It's a lot of a lot but I know drummers who do more with just a basic kit and let you feel the magic of drums. Just my opinion
@@ArnieC1974 I wish there were some vids of him when he was in his twenties playing local gigs. He was Phenomenal... Incredibly exciting to watch and his solos were so much more enjoyable. I remember seeing someone wrote how the solos are all just exercises now. That’s true. I miss the old days
He is in the Neal Peart category. And that’s a statement. But he’s the only dude in Dream Theatre I like. They are too “magic the gathering” to me but holy shit can this cat play
@@ciro2322 buddy rich? I've not seen a vid of him going over 250 bpm single strokes. I mean BR will always be one of, if not the greatest jazz drummers of all time. But mike is clearly going much much faster than 250bpm there.
I am always flabbergasted when he demonstrates his other worldly ability to play 4 different beats in all limbs, and change those beats at will, without messing up the other limbs beats.
the real question here is if Mike's mics are better than Mike's mics? but if so, would my mics be better than Mike's mics? or Mike's mics are better than my mics?
I don't think so , Mike's mics are better ....as the same time ur mics probably are better that Mike's mics , on the contrary way Mike's mics would be better than urs
If Mike's mics are better than Mike's mics? but if so, would my mics be better than Mike's mics? or Mikes' mics are better than my mics? But if Mike had Mice, What if Mike's Mice`s mics are better than Mike's mics? but if so, would my mics be better than Mike's Mice`s mics? or Mikes' mics are better than my mics?
This is the kind of solo you play in a stadium. Concepts, motifs, ideas, display of time control, flashy cliches (but taken to a new level). This is the arena drum solo, but played at a level likely matched by none. Brilliance.
This is what I want to hear in a drum solo. Presenting nice technique, speed, groove and timing. Most people would showcase their speed and how loud they can hit their drums. Respect to Mangini 🥁
Mostly because he's constantly compared to Mike Portnoy (who IS a fantastic drummer...), who has the advantage that he was in the band before Mangini, so Mangini also "fights" against the "in the past, everything was better"-faction of fans...
You comments makes no sense. Mike is 100% definitely not a underrated drummer. He highly recognized and respected for his drumming independence and accolades even before DT.
we all just have to watch his jam with dt during the audition to understand why they choose him. well, atleast that's my opinion (u can find them easily on yt if u never saw it)
Lots speculate he was quietly chosen much earlier than they initially said. It's worth noting he was a university music professor at an institution of which the DT members also happened to attend. Maybe a coincidence maybe not. Doesn't change the fact he's a musical savant and one of a kind. Dudes been on the Discovery Channel and shit back in the day for his drumming speed
@@sw1tchedThe drum parts on the latest album are incredible wdym? It's insane that the only reason MM gets hate is because he replaced Portnoy. It's just fanboys saying the same things over and over. Most haters don't even know anything about drumming, they just say "he's bad at writing" because they've heard it said before and wanna fit in
From what I've seen of Mangini from live DT videos on TH-cam, I'm not the biggest fan, but this is pretty good. The guy's an utter freak of nature, skill-wise (that's a compliment). He is nearly on Buddy Rich's level in terms of speed and technique, even if he lacks musicality and dynamics for me.
There are solos who drummers would love to listen(with good technique, single rudiment for each hand, etc.), solos that anyone who don't play drums would love to listen(with speed, showing off, etc.), and there's solos who both of them would love(with technique, speed, passion, etc.). This solo is the one that only drummers appreciate.
Bro Im a drummer and in my opinion this guy plays like random nonsense .. it sounds horrible... Maybe He would be better for circ du solei or something like thay
Playing high-speed snare drum rolls with traditional grip is always impressive! I could never do it. :( Stewart Copeland took traditional grip to a whole new level visually.
Seen him performed drum solo live. Everyone in the crowd enjoyed and cheered for him. He's no Portnoy, but Portnoy ain't Mangini either. Both drummers are amazing, but Mangini deserves a hell lot of credit than a lot of people give him.
Disagree. Couldn’t give you a percentage but there’s tons of people night in and out that go see DT play and they themselves are HUGE music nerds/musicians. They know exactly how hard this is to play.
@@masonchristiano There are two sections of this solo that I have been working on and I've been working on it for five days now, and I still can't get it down. I'm almost there at least but it makes me hate how people dislike Mangini as a drummer
@@masonchristiano respectfully, who cares. If they enjoying they are just enjoying the solo (which they most definitely are) than it doesn’t matter that some don’t understand how technical some of the stickings and polyrhythms he’s playing are. But I guess thats just how I feel as a drummer
@@natefreedman2972 I'm a drummer as well. Maybe that's why I feel that way haha. That's awesome man. Self taught? Or did you take lessons? :) Not that neither matter to me drumming is drumming :)
Wow you are the most perfect thing I have seen in the world, you are a professional in levels, you are just amazing, really fun to see you play and control everything amazing !!!!
Really? Man it isn't hard to beat lars nowadays. I've been drumming 3 years and I'd say I'm better than him in most aspects, although he can still do way faster double bass when he wants to.
@@T0mat0_S0up Let's just say Lars is a pretty good drummer/audio engineer. He created a drum sound what was always unique up until Metallica started recording Metal like every other band (heavy compression). But their earlier albums had always a unique sound, always original. But Lars has a couple of bad drumming habits and since he's been playing since 1982 he's obviously lost his peak just like Buddy Rich did in the late 70's. But since he has been an ass in the music industry (Napster and piracy) people have exaggerated his bad drumming habits and his not that good personality.
Imagine how free your mind has to be to be playing drums for dream theater. No thinking of breaking ups , or other problems in your life , BUT put feelings and problems aside, or it’s easy to lose the thread of where your up too in that particular part of the song. Wow. You go Mike. Met you a few times , and your a nice act. 💪🏻👍🏻

Thank You Mike Mangini for all these years. We wish you all the best.
He surely did his part well
Sometimes I don't like my job, but then, I remember there was a person setting up and disassembling that drum set in just one night.
Every night
Teacher: no drumming on your desk
Kids in the back of the class:
69th like
Even the kids in the back wouldn’t be able to play as good as god himself
That's me lmao. I got bunch of slap and punishment from teachers because of that 😭😂
Guilty!🤚😂
I am a pretty good now tho
This dude is insane. Also he's such a very genuine and humble musician. Keep the dream alive Mike
Had to admit that Mangini is on an other level amazing kind of drummer. Respect to you
One of the greatest drummers of all time, even the greatest, he holds 5 world records for speed on the drums!
I’m sure that kit costs more than my house
öztürk and bigger than your house 😂
It's about $20,000 in gear and hardware. Those octobons up top are incredibly expensive.
im sure of that to
Correct broo!
tbh his kit looks like a stand in a jobfair
Watching this guy play... it's amazing to see his passion! A superb solo!

4/4: am i a joke to you?
I miss goint to see DT live. Mangini was the main reason to go.
your a monster one of the best drummers in the world and your a gentleman
Esse é um dos poucos bateristas contemporâneos de hard rock e heavy metal que admiro.
Ele é muito influenciado pelo Neil ne ? Tem que ser foda...
This guy plays faster with one hand than I can with two. Incredible.
If only playing fast translated into being good.
@@juliosanchez95hatin ass
He’s doing things with one hand than drummers using 2 cannot. A true phenomenom.
Just came here after watching the auditions from 2011. Didn't really get a chance to see what Mike Mangini is capable of in those videos.
Damn.
Mike and Mike 👍👍 good drummer
Sometimes I don't think the crowd really understand how complicated "some" of this is. Lol
Disagree. Couldn’t give you a percentage but there’s tons of people night in and out that go see DT play and they themselves are HUGE music nerds/musicians. They know exactly how hard this is to play.
@@dustinbryant9586 still means there's a percentage of people that don't. But I get you.
@@masonchristiano There are two sections of this solo that I have been working on and I've been working on it for five days now, and I still can't get it down. I'm almost there at least but it makes me hate how people dislike Mangini as a drummer
@@masonchristiano respectfully, who cares. If they enjoying they are just enjoying the solo (which they most definitely are) than it doesn’t matter that some don’t understand how technical some of the stickings and polyrhythms he’s playing are. But I guess thats just how I feel as a drummer
@@natefreedman2972 I'm a drummer as well. Maybe that's why I feel that way haha. That's awesome man. Self taught? Or did you take lessons? :) Not that neither matter to me drumming is drumming :)
He’s probably the most skilled all around drummer there is and this isn’t even one of his best solos.
Could you recommend some better ones for me please?
If you're talking skill you have to have Thomas Lang in the convo....
@@dwarfshortages8265 check out nate smith
@@Matt-zt4qk Lang is a definite monster as well for sure.
@@Matt-zt4qk 😆he smoked Lang on the auditions remember ?
Love Portnoy. Mangini is something else though. He brought so much fun to the band.
Привет Автор ролика! Просто монстр) я такой игры на барабанах не слышал! Спасибо большое!
Wow you are the most perfect thing I have seen in the world, you are a professional in levels, you are just amazing, really fun to see you play and control everything amazing !!!!
And I'm here playing drums for 5-6 years and I'm still worse than Lars Ulrich
edit: I wasn't being serious. Lars is a good drummer.
Really? Man it isn't hard to beat lars nowadays. I've been drumming 3 years and I'd say I'm better than him in most aspects, although he can still do way faster double bass when he wants to.
@@punishmentthroughtime2904 no you are not.
@@punishmentthroughtime2904 ...and the fact jou have to tell people on you tube...kind of says it all...
Karsten Bier Why are people so obsessed with Lars?
@@T0mat0_S0up Let's just say Lars is a pretty good drummer/audio engineer. He created a drum sound what was always unique up until Metallica started recording Metal like every other band (heavy compression). But their earlier albums had always a unique sound, always original. But Lars has a couple of bad drumming habits and since he's been playing since 1982 he's obviously lost his peak just like Buddy Rich did in the late 70's. But since he has been an ass in the music industry (Napster and piracy) people have exaggerated his bad drumming habits and his not that good personality.
I love how he tells the crowd that his ostinato is in 5 hahahha
The funniest part is that you know most of them probably knew what was going on
He was just checking does his drums work correctly
Imagine how free your mind has to be to be playing drums for dream theater. No thinking of breaking ups , or other problems in your life , BUT put feelings and problems aside, or it’s easy to lose the thread of where your up too in that particular part of the song. Wow. You go Mike. Met you a few times , and your a nice act. 💪🏻👍🏻
That was amazing. Good luck, Mike.
