Amazing! He’s unmatched in many ways.

This track won a Grammy it is that good, dream theater are unreal best musicians in one band by a mile

The intro and bridge are in 17/16. The first verse is 4/4 and 9/8. The pre-chorus is alternating 5/8 and 6/8 and straight 6/8 in the chorus. Some areas beyond alternate between 6/8, 5/8, 6/8 and 9/8. Such an amazing performance. Cheers!

Mangini is killing it 🤟

Mangini is simply the GOAT!

What always amazes me about Mangini is he never crosses over his hands.

This song is about Mike Mangini as he's the Alien!!👽👽👽

Love Mangini too I subscribed cool video

I am also a "Portnoy" "DT" fan. On my birthday in 2010 ,as I waited on news of my first grandaughters birth,I caught the news that MP had left Dream Theater . I thought " well DT is surely ,and sorely going to search ,or die" . The guys got on top of it by performing ,recording ,and auditioning 7 of the finest drummers worldwide. It was apparent on the first audition ,Mike Mangini had set the bar very high ,and crushed the audition. I didnt think much of his work on his first album release,and felt DTs demise had begun. Mike M. just kept working hard,and has now solidified his position as "heir apparent" to MPs throne. This song is mind blowing,and MM ,is insane in his attack on the track. DT never missed a beat.

MM make DT music to next level...

Yep even John Petrucci said that.

You need to listen to the title track. A View From The Top of the world. The drumming is even more insane and abstract than this.

Pauroso!

Just see him , i’m tired .😮😮

...how do you remember an entire two hour show of this music? I've always preferred Mike Portnoys style but there is NO denying the incredible skill and oneness of Mangini and the music. Incredible. I saw a video of Mangini doing a large demo on a stage. He had two drum sets. One set up for a right handed drummer the other for a left handed drummer and he conducted the whole workshop seamlessly moving from one set to the other. If you were just listening you would have detected NO difference in the sound and figured he was just on a drumset. Whew. Hey, small suggestion, the mix on your comments during the video playback are very low and hard to make out. Perhaps turn your mike up a bit. Personally I wish to hear what you have to say. For a really fun viewing consider *Gergo Borlai meets Zildjian: **kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJeWldOjYLixobQ.html* On the off hand chance you haven't heard Gergo you're in for a treat...well you're in for a treat even if you have heard him. Very entertaining drummer.

Thank you for such an insightful comment, I will check out the video you have posted below at some stage and thank you so much for watching.

How do you remember those arrangements? Well... that's their music, dude... Lol

Too bad the audio isn't live, but from the album.

? This is a prep for the tour he was going out on with DT. They hadnt played that live yet so a bit hard to have the live audio.

It most definitely is. You can hear the kick drum sounds very different from the album. You can very obviously tell its the sound if the kit in front of him in a room and not the finished master....

I noticed that too. It even sounds different from the album version, but still doesn’t match the video sometimes

I don't know why, but here he sounds fantastic. Grooving and relaxed, but every live clip I've seen of him he sounds so stiff and machine like, it's almost like listening to a midi drum track

That's so well put. I really enjoyed this but you're right. The live cuts of him he does have a stiff almost machine like cadence to his playing. I think that's a big reason I always preferred Portnoy.

Portnoy is an amateur compared to Mangini. Mangini is easily the best drummer in the history of music.
