One more note on the "speed" point. Look a little at his career. Just because someone is capable of playing this fast and clean doesn't mean that's all they are. Mangini is extremely tasteful and articulate in the way he plays. He's playing to the crowd in this solo, it's what they expect. Phil Rudd and Simon Write made millions from playing nothing but 4/4 pocket throughout every song; are they good or bad drummers? They're certainly successful. Drummers need to stop being so jealous.
Come on; this competitive crap among drummers is silly. Mangini is Awesome, so is Portnoy, Bozzio, Colaiuta, Phillips, Smith and so many more. These guys have pushed to master their craft and whether you're into their style or not you should still give mad respect for what they're capable of. If you think this is all about "speed" (giovannizera) then you don't have to try and play like him. Take a little from everyone and do what you love to do. Music is interpretative art. Mangini is amazing.
I wonder how many people realize how hard that is to do. Hes playing the bass drum in between all of the hits on the toms. Not to mention hes doing a bunch of cross-overs. I love Mike Portnoy and always will but in my personal opinion Mangini is a technical powerhouse. Its no wonder he was a professor at Berklee.
@709newfie Dude... Slipknot is one of the most respected bands of our time. They may not pour as much thought into their albums or time signature changes in their songs, and they may not be as progressive and masterful as DT, but Slipknot are a great band and deserve lots of respect. One more thing, they are most DEFINITELY NOT EMO. Why would 40 year old men be emo?
@SuperEvilMonkey1 So... let me get this straight, you just called your favorite band a bunch of 40 year old men and then proceeded to say that their music isn't as complex or hard to play as DT's and that DT was all around more masterful than them. Then you said that they deserve respect but give no evidence to back this up. And no, "they are respected" doesn't count. That's an opinion, not a fact.
i was reading comments about some slipknot looser and everyone was talking about how fast he was ... so i posted this link to to someones comment... he is going to watch this video and stop sliting his wrist's just so he can watch this for the rest of his life
he has to be one of the most technically skilled drummers out there - 5 previous worlds fastest drummer records, one of the only drummers (if not the only one) to be able to play fully and completely ambidextrously, teaches at berklee (rock/metal, orchestral, latin, jazz), started out as a very good jazz drummer and won awards when he was younger, as well as playing in a well respected prog metal band!
Not trying to diss Mike Mangini here but I think he should make one more album with Dream Theater come 2013, rhen tour from 2014-2015. Come 2016, I think he should vacate DT. Then DT's new drummer could be Blake Richardson from BTBAM. He's an awesome drummer and I think DT with him behind the kit would be more epic than with Portnoy or Mangini. Peace
@irwin3036able Richardson is good, but that is just absolute horseshit for so many reasons. "Sean Reinert is a prog metal drummer too, he should be in dream theater instead!" can't these stupid fucking comments die.
@irwin3036able not even a remote fan of dream theater, but out of curiosity why should he vacate? the group has stated he was exactly what they were looking for, and it seems like he's doing a good job. if he suits the group, why fix what isn't broken?
@irwin3036able Deserves a break? Did you not see how excited he was to be in Dream Theater? You're saying that like it's a job that he took because he needed the work. On the contrary, he wanted nothing more than to have a permanent position in a band he already loved.
the whole things impressive obviously...but what really blows my mind is his speed with just one arm at around 2:25 , this man has literally broken what were before considered the bodies physical limits, u just shouldnt be able to play like that!
@chris59937 It's possible, he uses the gravity blast technic. Very useful at hihg speed. I'm not saying that's easy, but possible to handle if you practise a lot;)
@pwyczolk yeh i no he does when hes showing of his spped with one hand on the snare lol, but when hes goin round the toms at 2:25 that aint the gravity blast techinique haha, that just him playing with 'normal' technique but somehow reaching that speed :O
@DDDekost Hey I don't want to start a debate but after all, it IS all opinions. I prefer Portnoy's solos because I only really get intrigued by Mangini's here at about 3:40
But I really like both of them. Glad to see your view, but mine on creativity is Portnoy equal to or greater than Mangini's creativity. Just my thoughts though
Total shit. Guy has Terry Bozzio on his mind. This guy is not someone I would like to like simply because of his arrhythmic independence and stupid speed.
BOZZIO is better.
Wackerman,Coliauta and Bruford I like to hear much more.
@numchiks10 So because he's not as good in your opinion as some of the drummers you mentioned, that means he's "total shit"? I'd really love to see you do better.
SICK...!!!....I don't play drums, this man is a BEAST!.....even I can appreciate the independent shit he is doing with his limbs, and the off-normal time signatures.......this man is a GOD!.
I ended up here because of DT. AMAZING DRUMMER, but nothing special for DT standards. His playing with DT was OK and that is it. I hope he gets a little bit more relaxed and creative in his future recordings with DT.
@fottolini Two things: Mike Mangini had no part in the writing process for the recent album. And I implore you to listen to the new album on a decent sound system,, because Mangini's drumming may not be as loud (and monotonous) as Portnoy, but he plays with more musicality than any drummer I've ever heard.
@flicfan416 I don't agree Portonoy's drumming is monotonous, but that is beyond my point here. OF COURSE Mangini is a great drummer! No questions about that. I just have the feeling he could have done more in this album. I wouldn't be saying that if I thought the guy had no talent, right? :)
@fottolini Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dream Theater had already finished most of the album by the time Mangini joined in. All he really had to do was plug his parts in. But that's just what I heard. And I'm sure he will have a much larger influence on the next album.
@NomSkull petrucci programmed very basic parts that were no more than a "guide." mangin filled in a lot. it wasnt a matter of just playing exactly what petrucci programmed.
@MoarAvailabilityPlz you call the beginning flimsy and amateur? in that case, you my friend know nothing about drums. this whole solo is complicated as shit, ive been playing drums now, and if it sounds "cool" doesnt make up the difficulty. the fast crap is usually the easiest. technicality is way harder, and thats what alot of the 1st half is. the 2nd half he just goes crazy with speed.
@portnoyere I don't want to disappoint you but Mangini is way above Portnoy. This is the kind of statement that you cannot question. We're talking about the TRUTH mate XD I'm not saying that Portnoy is not a good drummer. He certainly is and the most important thing is that you enjoy his work as drummer. But drummers like Mangini belong to another category called "Monsters." Lang, Chambers, Mayer, Colaiuta, Bozzio, Coleman, Royster Jr, Rich and Purdie belong to it. I'm afraid Portnoy doesn't.
@FrenchRockNRolla7 I dont want to disappoint you but you dont know anything mate. maybe someone can compare chambers and mayer to portnoy, but Royster? Bozzio? Coleman? haha you made me laugh. please dont say that anywhere else everyone will laugh on you !!!!
@portnoyere Well, I don't think so. BTW, I think I know a litlle about what a good drummer is since I play drums. I'm pretty sure your point of view is biased to some degree judging by your nickname. I don't know how you can make such a presumptuous statement when we're talking about the very best drummers. The gods. But there's no point in arguing any longer! I'm just astonished that you dismiss these drummers so easily and with such utter certainty... Cheers mate!
@randylikesdrums agreed 100%. i saw Mangini years ago at a drum clinic and it blew me away. first time ever seeing him or even hearing of him for that matter. favorite drummer ever since.
@ShdowSora This vid is what? nearly 20 years old i think, hes improved so much more since then and gotten more wellrounded to the point were hes just as good if not better than portnoy.
Im not trashing Mangini but IMO I think DT would have more interesting if they chose Blake Richardson from Between The Buried and Me as their new drummer.
Thats the funniest/stupidist thing ive ever heard.. blake cant come close to holding a beat to the great drummers who auditioned for DT.. Thomas Lang, Peter Wildoer, Marco Minnemann and hes light years from current world record holder for fastest hands in drumming MIKE mother fucking MANGINI
ok, yes, i agree somehow, but i think that him as well as Satriani have being playing the same stuff for too many years now. They re not composers I guess, just great guitarists.
can't understand why Steve Vai at his age doesn't try to evolve into something different, more fusion, explore more jazz or classical music. at his level, well, he should have some more cutiosity I guess. He's still making "noise" like a schoolboy. Great performer and guitarist, but I don't really apprecciate the lack of "evolution".
@danlovesnan its because hes old and hes already changed the electric guitar. he brought a whole other sound out of the guitar and his style has been the most unique from day one.
@Easleytee I don't have a problem admitting that these guys are better drummers than Mangini, but since you have so much time on your hands you should volunteer to be their little bitch.
Give a listen to Marvin "Smitty' Smith...playing and soloing with a Big Band...its available via YouTube. Perhaps you'll beging to comprehend what musicality and artistry is as it pertaining to the Art of Drumming.
What I find amusing is your myopia when it comes to patronizing drummers. You had no idea who Harland was until I introduced him to you. You've been feasting on a steady diet of one-dimensional players. The masters of the instrument reside within the realm of Jazz.
@Easleytee I'm pretty sure even the top jazz musicians would disagree with 95% of what you said so far. I didn't patronize any drummers in our discussion, and you can't accuse people of being narrow-minded if you yourself listen only to Jazz and dismiss certain musical concepts from performance. I'm not in the mood to explain (for the 4th time) why Mangini's drumming is multi-dimensional. Rather than trying to learn something you cowardly flee from my rebuttals and hide behind academic jargon.
@Easleytee The masters of the instrument? As someone who knows so much about music, maybe you can appreciate my theory (although not necessarily agree with it). The idea of what a good drummer is has changed. Yes, the techniques apparent in jazz (I'm not going through the list like you did) are important, drummers today seem to lean more towards power, speed, and precision.
@Easleytee Personally I can still appreciate great jazz drummers when I hear them, but the general listener would rather hear the latter. Does the playing have the depth of what jazz drummers have? Probably not. Are the practitioners any less talented? Absolutely not. I have never heard a jazz drummer play with the power that I hear from drummers such as Mangini or Portnoy. Don't call either style superior; they are very different animals.
@Easleytee Why do pretentious jazz fans always feel the need to impose their musical style/culture on non-jazz musicians? All you've been posting lately are Eric Harland comments. It's as if you treat music like a religion and you're on some mission to spread the word of your god. Harland is a fine jazz drummer, but I'd say Mangini has more to offer based on what I've observed in his execution of polyrhythms and ostinatos.
In strict musical terms, what does Mangini offer that Harland (or any authentic musician for that matter) hasn't previously and judiciously discarded and/or dismissed from his lexicon as patently unmusical and irrelevant?
Mangini's one-dimensional, monosyllabic syntax is to the art of drumming what graffiti is to Vermeer.
@Easleytee You spoke more in linguistic as opposed to musical terms. Are you saying that polyrhythms and ostinatos are unmusical and irrelevant? You shouldn't criticize Mangini's playing as being one-dimensional and monosyllabic when compared to Harland. Mangini is able to imitate multiple musical voices simultaneously (rhythm section with his feet and melodic session with his hands) when playing with a band. THAT is multidimensional and multisyllabic playing, but Harland relies mainly on hands.
@dragula6 Rhythm as a inherent texture of music contains a vocabulary unto itself. Hand-foot independence regardless of how advanced and/or sophisticated neither possesses nor defines the expression of a musical idea or ideal endemic to the articulation of a rhythmic pattern. Shadings, color, pulse, dynamics, rubato, sub-division, syncopation, meter, displacement...these elements provide the context and structure for coherent musical expression within a rhythmic phrase or composition.
@Easleytee Hand-foot independence can potentially possess the expression of musical concepts called ostinato playing and polyrhythms, but for some reason you don't seem to understand that they do fall under the category of music. Mangini is a progressive drummer, and progressive music is all about shadings, colour, pulse, etc.
You cannot sing what Mangini plays....so much for his melodic session. Listen carefully to Harland's thematic approach and exquisite improvisation. Unlike Mangini's aimless wanderlust...Harland remains a magnificent storyteller and orator on his kit.
@Easleytee People pay to see MM for his inhuman speed and ability to execute several musical layers simultaneously, so at least some of his playing comprises of those feats. You can actually sing much of the stuff he plays. We can't physically sing his instances of speed, nor his multi-layered patterns, but we can sing the individual layers. EH and MM approach musical storytelling differently. Think of EH as focusing conflict and resolution on one character, and MM doing the same among several.

We're talking about the TRUTH mate XD I'm not saying that Portnoy is not a good drummer. He certainly is and the most important thing is that you enjoy his work as drummer. But drummers like Mangini belong to another category called "Monsters." Lang, Chambers, Mayer, Colaiuta, Bozzio, Coleman, Royster Jr, Rich and Purdie belong to it. I'm afraid Portnoy doesn't.

@FrenchRockNRolla7 I dont want to disappoint you but you dont know anything mate. maybe someone can compare chambers and mayer to portnoy, but Royster? Bozzio? Coleman? haha you made me laugh. please dont say that anywhere else everyone will laugh on you !!!!

@portnoyere Well, I don't think so. BTW, I think I know a litlle about what a good drummer is since I play drums. I'm pretty sure your point of view is biased to some degree judging by your nickname. I don't know how you can make such a presumptuous statement when we're talking about the very best drummers. The gods. But there's no point in arguing any longer! I'm just astonished that you dismiss these drummers so easily and with such utter certainty... Cheers mate!

can't understand why Steve Vai at his age doesn't try to evolve into something different, more fusion, explore more jazz or classical music. at his level, well, he should have some more cutiosity I guess. He's still making "noise" like a schoolboy. Great performer and guitarist, but I don't really apprecciate the lack of "evolution".
danlovesnan 5 months ago in playlist Mike Mangini
@danlovesnan its because hes old and hes already changed the electric guitar. he brought a whole other sound out of the guitar and his style has been the most unique from day one.

Check -out the following: Dennis Chambers, Tony Royster Jr. and Jeff "Tain" Watts.
Then someone voluntarily inform Mangini that these gentlemen are searching for a caddy to cart their stick bags.

@Easleytee I don't have a problem admitting that these guys are better drummers than Mangini, but since you have so much time on your hands you should volunteer to be their little bitch.

Give a listen to Marvin "Smitty' Smith...playing and soloing with a Big Band...its available via YouTube. Perhaps you'll beging to comprehend what musicality and artistry is as it pertaining to the Art of Drumming.
What I find amusing is your myopia when it comes to patronizing drummers. You had no idea who Harland was until I introduced him to you. You've been feasting on a steady diet of one-dimensional players. The masters of the instrument reside within the realm of Jazz.
Easleytee 5 months ago
@Easleytee I'm pretty sure even the top jazz musicians would disagree with 95% of what you said so far. I didn't patronize any drummers in our discussion, and you can't accuse people of being narrow-minded if you yourself listen only to Jazz and dismiss certain musical concepts from performance. I'm not in the mood to explain (for the 4th time) why Mangini's drumming is multi-dimensional. Rather than trying to learn something you cowardly flee from my rebuttals and hide behind academic jargon.
dragula6 5 months ago
@Easleytee The masters of the instrument? As someone who knows so much about music, maybe you can appreciate my theory (although not necessarily agree with it). The idea of what a good drummer is has changed. Yes, the techniques apparent in jazz (I'm not going through the list like you did) are important, drummers today seem to lean more towards power, speed, and precision.
badgerbadger16 5 months ago
@Easleytee Personally I can still appreciate great jazz drummers when I hear them, but the general listener would rather hear the latter. Does the playing have the depth of what jazz drummers have? Probably not. Are the practitioners any less talented? Absolutely not. I have never heard a jazz drummer play with the power that I hear from drummers such as Mangini or Portnoy. Don't call either style superior; they are very different animals.

There's simply no art to this guys playing.
Check-out Eric Harland.
How can anyone listen to this cacophony? He plays like he suffers from Tourette's syndrome.
Easleytee 5 months ago
@Easleytee Why do pretentious jazz fans always feel the need to impose their musical style/culture on non-jazz musicians? All you've been posting lately are Eric Harland comments. It's as if you treat music like a religion and you're on some mission to spread the word of your god. Harland is a fine jazz drummer, but I'd say Mangini has more to offer based on what I've observed in his execution of polyrhythms and ostinatos.
dragula6 5 months ago
@dragula6
In strict musical terms, what does Mangini offer that Harland (or any authentic musician for that matter) hasn't previously and judiciously discarded and/or dismissed from his lexicon as patently unmusical and irrelevant?
Mangini's one-dimensional, monosyllabic syntax is to the art of drumming what graffiti is to Vermeer.
DOLT!
Easleytee 5 months ago
@Easleytee You spoke more in linguistic as opposed to musical terms. Are you saying that polyrhythms and ostinatos are unmusical and irrelevant? You shouldn't criticize Mangini's playing as being one-dimensional and monosyllabic when compared to Harland. Mangini is able to imitate multiple musical voices simultaneously (rhythm section with his feet and melodic session with his hands) when playing with a band. THAT is multidimensional and multisyllabic playing, but Harland relies mainly on hands.
dragula6 5 months ago
@dragula6 Rhythm as a inherent texture of music contains a vocabulary unto itself. Hand-foot independence regardless of how advanced and/or sophisticated neither possesses nor defines the expression of a musical idea or ideal endemic to the articulation of a rhythmic pattern. Shadings, color, pulse, dynamics, rubato, sub-division, syncopation, meter, displacement...these elements provide the context and structure for coherent musical expression within a rhythmic phrase or composition.
Easleytee 5 months ago
@Easleytee Hand-foot independence can potentially possess the expression of musical concepts called ostinato playing and polyrhythms, but for some reason you don't seem to understand that they do fall under the category of music. Mangini is a progressive drummer, and progressive music is all about shadings, colour, pulse, etc.
dragula6 5 months ago
@dragula6
You cannot sing what Mangini plays....so much for his melodic session. Listen carefully to Harland's thematic approach and exquisite improvisation. Unlike Mangini's aimless wanderlust...Harland remains a magnificent storyteller and orator on his kit.
Artistry personified.
Easleytee 5 months ago
@Easleytee People pay to see MM for his inhuman speed and ability to execute several musical layers simultaneously, so at least some of his playing comprises of those feats. You can actually sing much of the stuff he plays. We can't physically sing his instances of speed, nor his multi-layered patterns, but we can sing the individual layers. EH and MM approach musical storytelling differently. Think of EH as focusing conflict and resolution on one character, and MM doing the same among several.
