    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.

    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 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.

      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

    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.

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.
