  • q bosta so mais o aquiles hehe

  • boring

  • @zackattack94

    Fuck you, you're boring

  • @FYD213 na this is

  • @zackattack94 How do retards like you find their way to this kind of video.

  • @OneTakeJesus over complicated shit portnoy has a more tastful solo imo

  • 4 HI HATS??? WTF!!!

  • he's fast..where's the polyrhythms? i understand speed is a lot of skill but that shouldnt be all that makes a drummer. wheres the independence?

  • OOH MY GOD!

  • Is it me or is the bass drum pedal on his left severely off center to corresponding bass drum?

  • Bieber > Mangini

  • Humm... needs more hiHat.

  • My opinion is, anyone whose heart is NOT in the band anymore doesn't deserve to be there, and anyone who quits their current job to be in DT and is excited about joining, should be given a shot, especially someone with Mangini's technical abilities.

  • Marco Minnenann is the best drummer for DT. He was the only one which performed the jam test without papers, only memory. He was the best overall. I don't know why he wasn't choosen

  • @yeseire007 Once you've done all the work dissecting the performances you've done a bulk majority of the work anyway... you're operating on muscle memory after all and no offense but I'm sure Marco was playing dream theater licks in his young teens.

    They wanted a good fit though... and that's mangini. I couldn't see Lang, Marco, or Virgil in DT even if they are great... Aquilles maybe but he didn't do so great.

    Mangini playing for petrucci probably didn't hurt either.

  • I don't say mike don't have his place in DT he is good ... yeah it's a monster... but for me aquiles priester should be the one in DT but if i look another way if aquiles priester was takken by DT then he probably couldn't tour with Tony Macalpine one of the greatest genius in the music history.

  • @Deathmaul1 Aquiles is a power metal drumming. Or speed metal, whatever the fuck.

    Bobby Jarzombek should have been auditioned in the first place, anyways. Aquiles is incredible, but he blew his audition big time.

  • But he is TIGHT i know what you mean but it,s hard to know all these song in 1 week like said in the interview

  • @Deathmaul1 Didn't everybody else learn them in a week? Why would they pick Aquiles over the other guys with more ambition, emotion in their playing, and knowledge of the songs?

  • @OneTakeJesus look at documentary im sure you will see what i mean ( when it's the turn of aquiles )

  • @Deathmaul1 ... No. I've seen it. Obviously. I know who Aquiles is. I'm definitely sure more than you. He fucked up and his audition sucked ass.

  • left hi-hat cymbal but the pedal is on the right, right hi-hat cymbal but the pedal is on the left. And he played OPEN HANDED!!!

    THIS GUY IS A MONSTER!!!!

    Congrats for joining Dreamtheater, and Congrats for Dreamtheater for getting PROFESSOR MIKE MANGINI,

  • one could only dream of this limb independance.

  • pretty plain i must say, Chris coleman FOR DREAM THEATER!

  • even in birds eye view, you can easily tell it's Mike Mangini, this guy is unique :)

  • The man is a ledgend!

  • His drum kit is symmetrical because he taught himself to play left and right handed. So its not "play right handed" its just "played"

  • @Djstereos2 i know

    

  • @Djstereos2 Thats no new Thing. Cobham and Phillips did this too ! But anyway a great thing,

  • Artist

  • I think Mangini´s even better than Portnoy, at least clearly in the technical ways. Maybe the performance in the album wasn´t so "brave", but that´s just because of he´s just gotten into DT. Just look at any solo on Youtube, there´s no mistakes anywhere, he plays swift and really, Really well. I don´t really even see the reason they´ve got dislikes. Maybe it´s just some don´t understand what he´s playing or they don´t have headsets LOL. I think he´s a great guy and drummer.

  • @nenissaK he didnt even write the drums for the album. petrucci did, and mangini recorded them. the next album will have ridiculously amazing drums

  • @StrangeNipples Agreeeeeee!

  • he can replace portnoy. he's different, but he fits dt. i like the new album and dont miss portnoy much. except for the fact that the wont play shattered fortress too often live...

  • Mike Mangini is without a doubt one of, if not THE greatest drummer. DT now though is missing some little drum flourishes that Mr.Portnoy could bring. I see wht the pimp dude is saying with the musical wankery, but htat is petrucci's style. Changing the drummer will have no affect on this. Dream theater will always have parts in songs where it does sound like thay are tuning up, and being a guitarist myself, i appreciate the skill required to pull this off. DT do it well. The latest album, great

  • does he hav ocd or something? cuz his drum kit is symmetrical

  • well, this is funk metal or something? lmao still this guy is pretty cool at drumming

  • He changes to left and right with hand s e foots naturally.....he rocks!!!

  • Incredible chops, and also incredibly musical. I'm having a lot of fun working on some of this stuff.

  • Seattle 1989 Lars owns Mangini and Portnoy.

  • Amazing drummer. I like his set up :3

  • nice ghosts Mike!

  • Does he have double hi-hats....?

  • the drummer's are not better than anyone they are just different. Some of them have more technique some of them have more speed, but the speed is not all. The speed is just the cherry on the top of the cake.

  • and WHERE IS PORTNOY?????!!!!!!! o.O!!

  • that fill at 2:13 literally sounds like im floating on a cloud. hot damn...

  • My kit is a 10,12,13 rack 14,16 floor 10 +14 snare 19,18,16,14 crash 8, 10 splash 16 china 20 ride 6 bell 14 + 13 hats....Every drummer has his own style and technique whatever...some drummers have 1 rack 1 floor its whatever works for them...ppl dont have a right to tell ppl what to do with what is there own money if they want a big kit or small kit there is no right or wrong way to drum...its ur sound and that makes every drummer unique...just let ppl do what they want n shut up.

  • @nortsoldier no bass drum?? :P :P anyway i agree with you

  • @tommasotemporin lol ty its a 20x20 bass :P ty for agreein :P

  • The New Breed, it's a book......... open-handed playing technique.

  • Way more technical, way more creative and he has a real soulful and tasteful feel to what he does. He draws you into an experience that gets your mind and your guts involved. Good stuff.

  • vai se fude q ele é melhor _|_

  • Aquiles Priester is better

    Aquiles Priester es mejor

    Aquiles Priester é melhor

  • I like mike better :D

  • Comment removed

  • He changes sides. That's really bad ass.

  • @JCdrummer33 The advantage of being a lefty and a righty! Cool shit!

  • 0:21 - 0:35 bubble head time. xDDD

  • Mike Mangini... So much taste from everything hes ever done and one of the best drummers in this world. if you dont think so get behind his kit, better yet his kit he uses for Dreamtheater and try to make yourself look and sound better....

  • a fucking mirror :O

  • hes better then me with this weak half than I am with my good half. Which brings up the question, which half is his weaker half? 

  • @apocalist420

    Left. He's righty, but he's managed to learn to play ambidextrous at a very high level.

  • couldn't close my mouth whole time lol

    

  • what's wrong with having these skills?

  • @justaspectator01

    Apparently that his surname isn't "Portnoy".

  • oh wonderful, now searching for MIKEPORNTOY and passion4drums

  • @alessandrozerbone I'm just able to relate to a drummer's skill when they have a drumset it being similar to mine.

    Though I still find this guy to be really good, though

  • In the drumming world this man is one of the best. People just don't get what he's doing. Known drummers respect this guy, vice versa. So why don't you?

  • I don't understand why people are such jackasses to drummers about the size of their kit and how much they have, whatever happened to just having fun with music?

  • @alessandrozerbone Uhh tell me about it, apparently all the Portnoy fanboys hate me now because I like Mangini. He was my teacher for like 2 years what can I do? I still like Portnoy better. But Mangini is technically more advanced...

  • @passion4drums MANGINI WAS YOUR FUCKING TEACHER?!?

  • @RandyGold999 Yes

  • @passion4drums Then you must be a hell of a drummer. In my opinion, Mangini is THE BEST!!!

  • @RandyGold999 Thanks but no where near! 2 years when you think about it, isn't much teaching, even if the teacher is Mike Mangini!!! But he taught me a lot about myself and my position in drumming. I'll send you a message with my new channel. This one got bombed by some spammer dude.. I just got octobans too so there'll be some videos of those soon!

  • @passion4drums Mangini is very good...the best in what comes to Technique. And, yes, i will wait for the message with your channel. Hugs, and keep on drumming!

  • @passion4drums In some ways...Portnoy's hand to foot stuff blows away Mangini's. But Mangini has better hand and foot technique. Just needs a solo of him on his brand new kit all miced up and equalized properly. It's hard to compare them because they excel at different things. I still say it's a shame Portnoy left. I think he is more creative than Mangini and this solo kinda proves that. That being said, he's been a great fill in guy.

  • @metalmike83 The only thing Portnoy does hand to feet is quad fills, which are the easiest things to do with a double pedal. The things Mangini does may not be as attractive to your ears, but take so much more skill.. Perfect example: look up "mike mangini new drummer of dream theater" this may not be the coolest sounding thing ever, but it shows you how incredible his hand to feet coordination is. And if you think mangini iss less creative, you haven't watched much of him.

  • @explodingpimp They are not easy to do with his precision and speed. Upload a video of you executed this and make it sound just like him if you think it's easy. I've been working on them for years and I can tell you it's extremely difficult. That being said, Mangini can do hand-to-foot combinations too he just lacks the creativity of Portnoy. Oh, and if what you're doing on the set is unattractive, then it's a waste of ability and should be scrapped.

  • @explodingpimp I've watched tons of Mangini - only to be disappointed every time and to realize he's not as good as guys like Weckl, Chambers, and PORTNOY. If you watch Dance of Eternity, you will see MP's amazing independence, dexterity, flawless precision, execution and polyrythmic ability. Mangini is so rough compared to him. I mean Portnoy is just so smooth it's hard to think of guys just so slick.

  • @metalmike83 The truth is, Mangini is and always will be more skilled than Portnoy. Portnoy is really good at using really easy double pedal fills to sound good though. Take away his double pedal, he's ordinary. Take away Mangini's double pedal and he's still Mangini.

  • @explodingpimp More skilled? Again, in some ways. But he's not nearly as skilled at creating amazing drum parts that blow the mind the way MP did for Dream Theater. Just lookup on youtube MP's crazy hi-hat work and MP's killer drum parts. Watch Dance of Eternity, and Fatal Tradegy. MP could live without two bass drums and still sound much more slick and creative than MM with two bass drums. Ever person I've shown both drummers two has said that MP was better.

  • @explodingpimp Again, you say that what MM does is far more difficult and complicated. That may be tue in some ways but again, if what you're doing is not listenable, then you've completely failed as a musician. It's like this...if I started flapping my penis on the drums and could play Tom Sawyer perfectly..even if my sound was a little off that would still be far more difficult than anything any drummer has ever done - I would still lose because my sound sucks.

  • @metalmike83 It's all opinion what you're saying. After listening to a shitton of Portnoy's stuff, hearing the same stuff over and over again, its just not appealing to me. When I listen to Mangini, I hear something different every time. A really terrible thing in musicianship is the lack of variation, and thats a problem Portnoy suffers from but Mangini doesn't. Another reason why I prefer drummers like Pridgen and Jojo Mayer over drummers like Portnoy

  • @explodingpimp Seriously? Do you play drums? I suggest you watch the videos "Portnoys mad skills with the hi-hat" and "Mike Portnoy's killer drum parts". I've never heard Mangini equal this level of creativity let alone surpass it. Dude, I can't even follow half the shit he does with the hi-hat. But I can pretty much follow all of Mangini's stuff. I can't play it but I can follow it. Where as with Portnoy it's way harder to do that. Again, if you can find it watch Hells Kitchen.

  • @metalmike83 Yeah, I play drums. Which is why I appreciate the skill in Mangini's playing much more than Portnoy. All the stuff you told me to watch is pretty groovy stuff, but nothing extraordinary. He's talented, but hertas, quad fills, and groovy beats don't cut it. He has yet to show the technical finnesse Mangini has. I don't care how "cool" it sounds. Both Mangini and Portnoy play damn cool stuff, but Portnoy has yet to make the jump in technical ability that Mangini has.

  • @explodingpimp Drumming is all about groove, man. If you can't make your beats and fills sound good, then you've failed as a drummer. It doesn't matter how many time signatures you can play with all four limbs at once, you need to serve the music first. I know Mangini can do that, but he doesn't do it as well as Portnoy. Denise Chambers could never play this solo but he's way more slick with his grooves and hence provides a better sound for the band. He's therefore better drummer.

  • @metalmike83 Watch Mangini's Steve Vai solo, and listen to how technical it gets. He plays hertas with his feet, goes into odd times, and does stuff that Portnoy would never dream of doing. Mangini's style is some sort of an acquired taste. You may not like the sound, but someone who truly understands how difficult and unique it is will. Close to everything in that solo takes more skill than Portnoy has, and don't even try to tell me its not creative stuff, because it is.

  • @explodingpimp So he has superior hand and foot speed than MP. MP still has better hand-to-foot combinations and he's still more creative. He has a much better, smoother sound which is what it's all about. Mangini is all static there's very little in terms of dynamics. Sounds like a machine actually. The point is, being technically superior (in some ways) doesn't automatically qualify you as a better drummer.

  • @metalmike83 You just gave yourself away. You said Mangini does little in terms of dynamics, which means you really haven't seen anything by him outside the first two videos you get when you search his name, and this video. And you keep insisting that Portnoy has better hand to foot combinations when I keep telling you that he only has one! The only thing he does hand to feet are quad fills, which are stale, and are a last resort for drummers who can't find other things to do.

  • @explodingpimp I must have spent an hour the other day looking at Mangini videos. Trying to find one that didn't make me cringe at the sound of his drums was half the battle. Finding another one where he didn't play something boring at all was impossible. In virtually all of his solos, he gets really boring really fast for at least a couple of bars. There's none of that with Portnoy. On top of that, he sounds like a machine gun when he rolls with very little dynamics.

  • @explodingpimp Portnoy only has one hand-to-foot combination? How long you been playing, six months? Seriously, I find it amazing how someone can be so ignorant about a drummers abilities. Just go watch Mike Portnoy's crazy drum fills and you will see TONS of epic hand-to-foot combinations. If you seriously think it's all quads then you really have no fucking clue. And if you seriously think they are stale then you are delusional. Mangini's videos get way more dislikes. hint hint

  • @explodingpimp His independence skills are also far greater than Portnoy's. For this, I will say he's equal with MP. But since he isn't as creative and his shit doesn't sound as cool, I cannot say he is better. After all, music is about sounding good, not about how difficult your stuff is to play. There's also a marked difference in how each of them play fills. Portnoy is much smoother in execution.

  • @metalmike83 And you have admitted that he is more skilled and technically better. There is a SHITLOAD of people who think the stuff he does is more creative. And the fact is, if you look into what Portnoy does the majority of the time, Mangini is infinitely more creative. And if you think music is just about sounding good, you are at a very basic level. But that's besides the point. The fact is, I, along with tons of other people think Mangini's style sounds extremely cool.

  • @explodingpimp I never admitted either of those things. Quit putting words in my mouth. There's a shitload of people who think he's more creative than Portnoy? There's just as many people, if not more, that think the earth is 6000 years old. Big deal. Watch the video moderndrummer 2006 Mike Mangini.He stinks so much in that video that damn near half of the ratings are dislikes. Find ONE video of Portnoy like that.

  • @explodingpimp I said specifically that Mangini is technically more advanced in some ways. He has more rudiments. He has faster hands and faster feet. But when he puts his hands and feet together he is slower and rougher than Portnoy. I mean, technically there are dozens of youtube drummers that are technically more advanced than Portnoy because they know more rudiments. But are they functionally better? Fuck no. Are they more creative? No.

  • @metalmike83 I don´t know a single video in Youtube in which Mangini would be slower and rougher than Portnoy when he "puts his hands and feet together". Actually as far as I know, based on everything I´ve seen and heard, Mangini is much faster even with his "hands and feet" , like the ability to play fast would even be something very important. Mangini keeps the rhythm much steadier and is capable of playing more complex and faster time singnatures and he does it well plus I think he has groove

  • @metalmike83 And sorry for my bad English I´m from Finland and I´m not aware of all the terms and shit. Anyways, I think the style of Mangini´s playing is more delicate and groovy + it is more technical and I haven´t seen him making any mistakes ever. As in the comments, the new album speakes for itself, and even if the drumtrack isn´t so "brave" in it, I think it´s just because of he´s just gotten into the band and he doesn´t want to overplay it straight away. And who cares of dislikes LOL

  • @explodingpimp I don't think there's very many people who actually believe Mangini is more creative than Portnoy. I mean, he centers everything around a funk groove and occassionally plays some shit on the octobans and toms. Then he randomly throws in some odd times and independence shit. It's interesting and impressive but not nearly as good at guys Portnoy or Weckl. If Mangini is infinitely more creative, why does he have that video with half the votes disliking him?

  • @explodingpimp If music isn't about sounding good, then what's it about? Seriously, enlighten me. It's about difficulty right? It's about playing abstract horseshit that no one cares about and no one wants to listen to - not even you. LOL. Okay. Musical masturbation is a curse on the industry. The real skill lies in creating something that rocks everyone's world. That's much more valuable than being able to play 35 different time signatures at once.

  • @metalmike83 You really think every musician makes music so their audience will love it? Music is in its most basic form is an ART form. Which means it is also a form of expression, a medium for thought and the mind. When people go into multiple time signatures, that's challenging themselves. They express their style, and challenge themselves to get better. When someone spends all their time only making stuff that sounds good to others, they'll never make the leap that people like Mangini have.

  • @explodingpimp Of course it's an artform. Of couse it's about expression. But it also has to sound good. That's why Dream Theaters best songs are the ones where they cut down on the musical wankery and focus on actually making music. Art isn't about playing multiple time signatures for the hell of it - it's about making those multiple time signatures sound amazing and fitting in where necessary. So Mangini only has done half his homework foresaking sound quality for difficulty.

  • @explodingpimp Watch guys like Dave Weckl. They can't play the multiple meters that Mangini does...yet they have a sound that surpasses his. They play with groove, feel and taste. In some ways, Dave is better than any other drummer on the planet. He has his own style which no one can mimic perfectly, Yet, I can't say he is better than MP because he can't play MP's stuff and vice versa. Mangini might be able to play most of Portnoy's stuff but he can't create that stuff like MP.

  • @metalmike83 Your argument is literally based on your dislike for Mangini. You have admitted to him being more skilled, and technically better. So essentially, your argument is that you simply like Portnoy better. Which is fine, I wish you would just say that. Your argument that Portnoy is more creative is complete crap, because the only thing he does is hertas and quad fills with grooves thrown in here and there. He's extremely good at pretending to be unique. Mangini has his own style

  • @explodingpimp I never admitted to Mangini being more skilled. I said he was better in some ways. But heck, even I'm better than Portnoy in some ways. Doesn't make me a better drummer overall. Doesn't mean I have a better sound and can wow people the way he can. The only thing he does is hertas and quad fills with grooves? Seriously, you obviously have no idea. He can do a drum roll between his hands and his feet single stroke. He has a hell of a lot more than just quads.

  • @explodingpimp Find one drummer that can play the way Portnoy does who is as smooth as he is. My argument is that Portnoy's playing is much cleaner which is it. That's obvious to anyone with ears. He's also more creative as can be demonstrated by how he doesn't have a single video where nearly half the ratings are dislikes. Unlike Mangini of course. You can go through MM's video and find the parts where he sucks. You can't do that with guys like MP, Weckl, Chambers, Donati, etc.

  • @metalmike83 I'm done arguing with you, because you're stubborn and way too opinionated. And to top it all off, you base your opinions on the dislike bar on youtube videos? Are you kidding me? Anyways, it's been established that Mangini is more talented, and the creativity part is apparently going to be debatable, so fuck it.

  • @explodingpimp Musicality and creativity come before complexity and level of difficulty. Again, if I can play any beat with my right and left hand that says nothing about my creativity or ability to accompany other muscians. It's like this - University papers are much more technical than Stephen King, but Stephen King is a far better writer because he is much more creative and what he writes has thus a far greater impact on people. He focuses more on content rather than wordiness.

  • @metalmike83 The thing is, you look at this one video and instantly claim that Mangini lacks creativity. He's one of the few drummers out there who combines jazz with funk with extreme metal playing. If you watch more of Mangini's stuff, you'll how unique and creative the guy can get in his playing. And dont tell me that Mangini's playing isnt listenable.. there's a difference between not being used to his sound and calling it unappealing to the ears.

  • @explodingpimp umm, no. I've listened to Mangini for years in countless videos. I'm impressed but he's never elevated himself above Portnoy. And I've thought that he lacked the creativity of other top tier drummers. Not just Portnoy, but Weckl, Chambers, Royster Jr, etc. They all blow me away. Even your boys Jojo and Pridgen blow me away with their chops in a way Mangini never has. Also, look at the dislike bar in the majority of his vids. Dude, he has half dislikes in some vids.

  • @explodingpimp Perhaps I should be more clear. I don't think Mangini LACKS creativity. I merely think that he isn't as creative as guys like Portnoy, Chambers, and the others I mentioned. He just doesn't blow me away like they do.I would have much rather seen Virgil Donati in Dream Theater and I thought had a much better sound and dynamics when he was jamming with DT. But for whatever reason they liked Mangini more. Out of all the drummers, he seemed to want it the most

  • @alessandrozerbone Thank you! It really angers me when people say "Oh, if that drummer was any good he wouldn't need a kit that size". I've seen both Mangini and Portnoy play on kits that were MUCH smaller than their normal kits and they were still just as good. The size of your drumset doesn't make you better or worse, just like the number of colors of paint you have doesn't make you a better or worse artist. It's the drummer, not the set.

  • @alessandrozerbone love this comment! :)

  • severus snape ?!

  • @redhot1896 sorry?

  • médium for a professionnal

  • Hey Mike, what do you need FOUR FRIKKIN' HIHATS for?

  • i feel like he could do a 20 stroke roll... and it would sound like a roll... haha

  • holy symmetrical kit batman!

  • Fucking love his setup

  • More than a drum solo this is like a display of how well developed he has the concept of independence, but there's nothing very musical about it..

  • I hate it when the second top comment is just a copy of the first...

  • Boring

  • Gay.

  • He has the touch of an angel, from about 2.10 the guy could have been playing landmines and they would not have gone off.

  • if you think that Mangini is a bad drummer only because he replaced portnoy, shut your bias mouth up. hes an amazing drummer and a cool dude and one of the best drummers ever

  • Who cares. This is as boring as anything I've heard.

  • @teetomthomas  musicians do -__-.. and you?.. well you just dont understand xD

  • so much suck.

  • Mike Portnoy Forever ♥

  • @matiasybetina Wrong video. Derp

  • too much technique, zero feeling

    

  • @liano08 thats what everyone says about john petrucci, bullshit

  • what drums does he use, DW?

  • @LTY124 Pearl Reference Pure I believe

  • @xxxPinkyGSterxxx ah, nice!

    

  • good one professor

  • Gay.

  • @MlKEPORNTOY GAY FANBOY HAHAHAHAHA

  • @portnoyere What did I do. He's a good drummer. Fucking Portnoy fanboys... He doesn't put out a single technical drum solo like these.... And I LOVE THAT GUY!

  • @passion4drums you abused Mike Portnoy fan!

  • @portnoyere Well I'm sorry if I "abused" him. That was obviously a while ago because I can't even remember commenting on this....

  • he is incredible ...

  • well, now what can they say? he's the drummer for dream theater, which is pretty much the most prolific progressive metal/rock band...ever.

  • This cat is severely underrated by the drumming community...

  • His set sounds....so good. Like...oh man, so good.

  • @titoineboily thank you for telling us/me ...

  • I'm convinced Mike Mangini's limbs are actually sentient beings.

  • Mike Mangini is definitely part of my Top 5. Right now, I would say Chambers, Lang, Mayer and Chris Coleman. What's so great about all these musicians is that they could play every type of music naturally. How I'd love to hear Chambers's take on some Faith No More!!!! XD

  • @FrenchRockNRolla7 Gavin Harrison? Harrison impresses me much more than Mangini....

  • @MrBungle67 Well, you may be right... My favourite drummer isn't Mangini, it's Dennis Chambers. But I'm shocked by his technique and attitude. It's perfect and beyond human understanding. Chambers is also impressive but in a different way. Nobody can be as groooooovy as he is. I'll check some Gavin Harrison. He seems to be impressive too. I have some Porcupine Tree songs et he sounds great... ;)

  • i want to steal one of his bass drums

  • Nice, interesting solo. I liked the quad hi hat setup. A chance to use 4 types of hi hats and hear the differences between them. Cool idea.

  • wow

    

  • anyone else reckon that mike influenced travis orbins kit set up?

  • @keviwevi93 You've got to be kidding. Travis Orbin was one of Mangini's students.

  • @MikePostDrums oh snap, i never knew that, haha.

  • @keviwevi93 Probably one of Mangini's best students, too. :)

  • @MikePostDrums easily!

  • @keviwevi93 Check out Travis' setup explanation video, all will be revealed!

  • i love how his kits set up it seem so feng shui, so abstract, so .... i'd love to tear that shit up basically

  • oh no... he's better than portnoy, but still a stiff groove.... show me your hate, please...

  • @aakkoin You're absolutely right on both accords. Light years beyond Portnoy in technique, but a stiff almost, dare I say, less than musical groove.  That's not to suggest I don't like Mangini...I do...but an organic groove is not his strong suit. Advanced rhythmic knowledge, unparallelled limb independence and unearthly technique? Absolutely.

  • how many fucking hi hats do u need

  • Too good to be a drummer.

  • I hate when the top comment is a response to another comment and i have to search it for like 5 minutes-.-

  • @titoineboily click see all then ctlr+f and search the nick ;)

  • @titoineboily like this one? :D

  • @titoineboily or you could click see all comments, press ctrl and f and then type in the user name. dafty.

  • @titoineboily lol do what i do, don't
