  • WTF 0:45 !?!?

  • Mangini can easily kill someone using a drum stick.

  • I think he is the fastest drummer in the world... oh, wait...

  • Amazing.

    

  • Was this recorded with Mike Mangini's Zoom camera?

  • WTF 0:32?

  • was this at the Merriam in Philly?

  • @edermr44 no, i'm pretty sure it was in Boston MA because was there, and I recognize the theater.

  • Dream Theater: come for the cycling lead hands, stay for the crazy one-handed rolls.

  • If anybody criticizes Mangini's drumming, they're just going to look foolish no matter what.

  • Mike Portnoy's good.

    Mike Mangini's great.

    End of fucking story.

  • @collintmay imo they're both great

    Portnoy used to drum for DT, now Mangini does

  • each arm has own life

  • If you can do his One Hand Speed Ride at 0:24 Then you can Talk Shit About MM and if cant SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • 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.

  • Dream Theater FTW!!

  • 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.

  • noobs: if you think a slobbering (spitting) Portnoy is better than Mangini, you're not worth debating. Professional drummers all know this.

  • Its sure amezing to see how calm they play. He sits like his alone in the garage and just fooling around hehe. Great stuff from the master Mike :D

  • Mangini is King! Portnoy is King too but he shits himself that he left DT:(

  • 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.

  • @OfivetwoekVeeDee Hope my sarcasm´s understood, Cobus is shit

  • @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

  • Any idea which show this is?

  • fuckin love it, seems like a lot of epic drummers have the name: Mike. Mike Portnoy Mike Wengren Mike Mangini!

  • WTF @ 0:24 ?!

  • @DJSnou You can do tht when your Mike fucking Mangini lmao.

  • Comment removed

  • no!!!!!!!! Mike Portnoy I missing you

  • @pablosamu732 If you're missing him * yawn... why are you here? zzzZZZzzzZZ  ;)

  • @metalhammer777 Well said, couldn´t agree more.

  • I like the missile launcher on the top right! :D

  • Comparing Portnoy to Mangini is like comparing a tiger to a polar bear. Both are fucking badass, but completely different.

  • What show was this captured at? It seems like the Warner Theater in DC but I can't tell.

  • I Fucking knew it! Mike is plugged into the Matrix!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • 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...

  • I love how James is screaming "praying for TIIIMME to disappear" on this!

  • OMG

  • I prefer Mike portnoy style!! portnoy hits the drums with energy as a real metal drummer....MANGINI IS TOO SOFTTTTTTTT!

  • @zuckymaster Huh? Mangini TOO SOFT ...

    If I follow your point of view... Gene Hoglan is pretty soft too...

    You're one of MP's friend ... or dyslexic huh? Admit it. :)

  • @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

  • Holy Schnikies! MM is a monster on the drum kit!

  • Mangini could play that one ride part to "Almost Easy" with one hand.

  • @Rovelius39X7 its a double ride part and no he can't do it with one hand

  • @JOWENZTHEBEAST

    I know it's a double ride part. If he played the part with one ride, no doubt in my mind, he totally could.

  • @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.

  • @nengstro

    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.

  • Not impressive in the slightest.

  • Lol, James at 0:45 :D

  • praying for WHAT to disappear??? lewl

  • Which show was this?

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ><

  • I was there!

  • That is skill indeed. Lefty and righty drumming in a song live! Thats more spectacular than his speed.

    Rock on!

  • 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!

  • Mike Portnoy disliked this.

  • mangenious

  • goddamn dude... makes one hand sound like two

  • you are so fast with your hand wow

  • Please continue to post these videos! They are really interesting!

  • @mocool13 I don't think it was the beacon show, I don't remember James singing that bad at the show o_O wtf happened to him seriously!?!?

  • @chrisx8x23x95 he was off for that song at the beacon. nothing new.

  • @BOOLsheet ok yes this is the beacon show, i was singing way to loud to notice labrie fuck up during the chorus!

  • I'm sure Mike has some batteries inside his drumsticks!

  • Looks like the Beacon show, unless I'm mistaken. Regardless, keep kicking ass!

  • 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! :)

  • 0.45 haha what is that, James

  • Gotta love making a part 20 times more insane without ruining it even one bit.

  • So freaking ambidextrous it's amazing!!!

  • "huh, much to it so far..."

    *EPIC FAST RIDE CYMBAL NOTES*

    "holy holy holy holy...fuuuuuuu!"

  • This dude is a robot!

  • 0:45 LaBrie gets out of time.

  • James ruined it

  • 00:27 Id love to see Portnoy doing that...Not

  • @OfivetwoekVeeDee Portnoy doesn't need to that... I think that this is showing off and ruins the song

  • @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.

    @nengstro I think your comment is a bit stupid.

  • @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

  • @OfivetwoekVeeDee you should* sorry for the typing

  • @OfivetwoekVeeDee If I could high-five you, I would.

  • 0:24 O.O you're a drumming machine!!! :D

  • 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.

  • @IllusionaryMind8 ME TOO!

  • @IllusionaryMind8 Thats not disrespectful..he decided to quit to hang out with some kids...

  • @OfivetwoekVeeDee yea.. and he decided that after JP and JR decided not to let him re-join the band after he got fired by A7X.. we know..
