There is no better drummer, they're just different. Beyond the technique, beyond the music, Mike is an awesome person. I don't know Mangini enough to say the same for him.
it seems like it may be difficult for some people to admit a new drummer to be better. I have listened to dream theater for so many years. And I knew right away that Mangini was 100 x's better than Pork rind.
Nice to see that Mangini is bringing his own style to the songs. Love the fact he is ampidextrous, I love Portnoy's kit more but, even though this one is a monster.
@MrBrady85..Portnoy is the king ruining songs like nightmare or octvarium thinking hes a growling or high key master...Mangini is just trying to add something to keep his FRIEND'S clueless fans interested..Problem? Go watch some Cobus till you learn a thing about epic drummers
@MrBrady85 Now I know I wrote in wrong. Sarcasm wasnt clear, huge mistake, Simple Mike P good, Mangini Epic, Cobus, prettyboy mediocre amateur with luck and pricey cams..sorry for the mistake
mangini isn't bad...both portnoy and mangini has their unique style..though i play guitar but my fav drummer is portnoy...i like mangini's play too...
@zuckymaster what do u mean "too soft"?i think mangini is quite powerfull on drumming.the difference is they have different style and again portnoy is one of the maker of this song,so he can do any pattern in every notation with precise power off course... mangini is good But he must read & memorize all notation,that make him play carefully & play safe.....this just my oppinion
@Rovelius39X7 Ey , a Portnoy believer... Stop now with the fanboy comments and for fucks sake stay with the facts. Fact one: Mangini won the WFD title 5 (FIVE!) times, Fact two: Portnoy himself admits Mangini to be technically superior. And he doesn´t have to be sad not to manage that one hand speed ride, no one else can.
Yeah, and WFD stands for Worlds Fastest Drummer, if you didn´t know.
Really? Are you retarded? Was i not clear enough in my first comment when I said Mangini (MANGINI [M-A-N-G-I-N-I]) could play that ride part with one hand? Mangini won a WFD award for 1200 single strokes in a minutes, he's the most technically advanced mammal on the planet. That's what my first comment was meant to state. God, learn to fucking read before you go and try to pick a pointless internet fight, dumbass.
I'm so thankful for Mike... I needed this inspiration, and example. I owe the next phase of my evolution to him. I've wanted to hear him with DT for years. It's a dream come true for me. Congrats Man Genie!!! Thank you!
He FLAWLESSLY switches left-right.I'm fascinated by his knowledge of his body.You must have complete awareness of where every part of your body is in the space around you and that is difficult in normal life.Then you have to put it together with the kit and create smg that makes sense,or in this case,smg absurdly amazing!I'm not a drummer(maybe this is first lesson in a percussion course)but to me this is quite remarkable!With his knowledge he can play blindfolded,surely....love it! :)
@littlefunginny Well actually, here he played kinda basic beat so the switching to left-side playing was not that much about being incredible - it was more intended as an example of using the bigger bass drum on the left side. However MM has some videos on YT where he show his left-side playing abillities and it's absolutely MINDBLOWING. In this case it was rather basic stuff. ;) And BTW: playing blindfolded is totally simple for any drummer who knows his own drumkit. It's nothing hard really.
@DrMorbid ok,thanks for the explanation! :) like I said I'm not a drummer,so I don't know if the beats are basic or advanced.it was just that I like the movement so flawlessly in this vid but also in another clip or solos that he has done,I was talking in general.probably it is my fault 'cause I'm not english so I can't explain myself in this language properly.but thank you for helping me understand! :)
@MrBrady85 Hahahahaha.... Portnoy doesn´t "need" to do that.... So funny, he simply CAN´T do that. Believe me, he would if he could. Enough already Portnoy fanboys, accept his departure and move on. Don´t reflect your frustration on Mangini, he´s untouchable.
@OfivetwoekVeeDee I love Magnini but i just don't like what he does with this section. i prefer the original way. thats just my opinion. Portnoy probably can't play that fast but to me it sounds unnecessary.
@MrBrady85 Pfff doesnt need to? He just adds shit all around...Nightmare growls? Whining like a bitch in Octavarium live? I love MP but Mangini aint ruining anything. Hes just amusing fans and not eclipsing with an open china the rest of the music..If you cant understand drumming yp shoul go watch Cobus videos instead of being here
No disrespect to M. Portnoy, his work and everything he ever done for this band but foy my personal entertainment i wish Mike Mangini will stay with Dream Theater forever.

I'm sure that if Mangini had been given a better treatment mix-wise in A Dramatic Turn of Events, the fans would be much more pleased with his work.
But if it's what Dream Theater needed to feel comfortable with the transition, I guess it was for the better.
