lots of dream theater fans STILL dont understand just how insane mike mangini really is.

he is really insane. up to a point. he is great in this era up to the early 2000s. even at the audition. but in dt, mike is bad as a sidesman. he is like being controlled and not himself. maybe it was the pressure or what. im a super fan of him before and have an autograph of him. but portnoy is dt. he belongs in dt and mike is just an outcast and i feel like dt is holding him back.

@@krioni86sa I honestly feel DT won’t ever return to the level of rhythmic complexity obtained with Mangini. AVFTTOTW being a primary example of how complex Manginis mind is working to the rest of the band.

​@@krioni86saI love Mangini era DT. It became real prog and stepped away from the mediocre metal it became in the '00s. I was sad to hear that they let Mangini go. Portnoy is nowhere near his level.

Mangini is a monster. This tour was something all its own, with Mangini and Nuno flexing their musical muscles. Absolutely incredible.

Mike is a living legend, I've seen him once with Extreme & twice with Steve Vai. He's a very smart drummer, genius if you ask me. I want to be like Mike. Mike rocks!!!!

WHAT!! I never imagined mangini looked so metal!

My favorite drum solo of all time. I’m not even a huge Mangini fan. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a bad ass. But after seeing this solo for the first time many years ago, I was blown away by the creativity, power and that rototom set up!

I love these melodic solos.

I totally love the sound of the "roto-tom set" :D It's so rough and intense! And yet kinda deep.

5:10 GODDAMN! He's a literal blur.

Thank you so much to the guy who recorded this solo !

When I saw Exterme in London in 1995, the thing that stood out was Mike's drum solo. Probably the most amazing drum solo I've ever seen! Those one handed drum rolls and his spedd was mindblowing!! Thanks for posting.

amazing... he's the best of the best

Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Mike Mangini and Pat Badger in the same band... WOW

I really think mangini is one the greatest musicians/performers I have ever seen

The sound of this kit is fucking brutal. Amazing!

"excuse me, can i watch any mangini video with no bitching comparisons between him and portnoy?" guys, this isnt even dream theater related! it's been four f-ng years! come on!

I've already replied to this but I'll say it again, quite probably the greatest drum solo I've ever seen in my life. I saw him do this when they played inLondon in 1995 and I was awestruck and never forgot it. Thanks for posting.

I love this guy, one of my favorite drummers! He's also really awesome in person. Very friendly, super nice and a bit goofy. Met him at a day of percussion in 2004 (shorter hair then...)

Wow, that was one of the best drum solos I've ever seen, and I've seen thousands!

Keep coming back to this for the amazing playing and the bright yet warm sounding RotoToms. Fantastic, never ceases to amaze.

Nuno and Mangini, the best.

He's insane woah!

Can't enough of Mike's solo here... It's just kinda ... perfect.

during this same time frame, mike did a clinic for my drum department. after setting this kit up, i asked if i could play it. he said yeah go ahead... very interesting setup. all toms are in a "v" setup. i asked a hell of alot of questions about what he's playing. all i can say is...damn!

Mangini isn't my cup of coffee... But here he's AMAZING! Great skills and, moreover, musical taste!

mangini has set new limits in drumming ,he is way more advanced now than what he was then and that kit is awesome, I want a kit like that.

His solos are so good, especially his older drumming, like that time of this video. Marvelous!

Awesome! Thanks for posting. I saw them live with their original line-up and they were great, but when I saw them with on this very tour, I was right in front and THIS is what I remember most-- more than Nuno's solo(and I'm a guitarist), and EXACTLY as I remembered!

Great independence! Love Mangini!!!

totally, totally amazing! could watch him forever! dt couldn't have picked a better drummer! go mangini!

the remo toms sound better than his current pearl, imho.

Love Mike M!

Mangini is simply amazing!! It also looks like it would have been a hell of a concert to see!

Nobody can say that Mike didn't work his way to the top getting better and better as he practiced religiously and taught percussion. Congrats Mike, you are a drum God my friend!

Wowww.... Super wowww....

FIERCE handspeed, EPIC independence, and EXTREME (pun intended) srumming. I am actually impressed!

this is how it all started, he started as a snowball and came out a glacier

absolute command of his kit. The poly-rhythms are intense, but he uses them so musically, dropping in and out of them quickly.

Thanks for the post. You've made an old man very happy or is that a happy man....etc Genius technically and a pleasure to watch. Thank you again.

Wow... mangini is always off-the-scale ridiculous! Thanks for posting!

I love Mike Mangini - saw him @ modern drummer festival - he was GREAT LOL Tom

damn this is really a great drum solo

Brilliant! I have enormous respect for this guy! I don't believe you can officially compare him(or any other drummers) to any other drummers! Everyone of the drummers mentioned below are astonishing to hear & watch, I think each of them has something completely individual to offer. I think there all great.

#1 spokesperson for Remo Rototoms without saying a word...

A famous British military historian once said "talent is what a man possesses. Genius possesses the man". Mangini qualifies for both. Several other drummers mentioned in these comments also do.

This is my favorite Mangini solo.

Off the freakin charts! Not only is he incredibly fast, he's amazingly articulate, funky, smooth and has an incredibled drum sound. I agree with drulius, the roto toms really have a distinctive and unusual sound that I'd like to see explored more by some of the "bad boys" I wonder what Tony Royster Jr would do with them...he's always up for something unusual

he´s an alien... just amazing

every drummer is in a way an artist and therefore unique. you CANNOT compare 2 artists/drummers/musicians. this guy is awesome, in his own unique way.

Wow, what a video. I'd never seen Extreme live before. They were all heart onstage!

From 5:08 till 5:25 is just incredibly fast . I can only think of one drummer who can probably pull this off. Gergo borlai.

This was at my old hangout in Baltimore , MD Man ,I miss those days at HammerJacks

I'm using his signature drumsticks for 4 years, so I'm happy that DT chose him, all the best an congrats!!!

Pretty incredible, there's nobody who does it quite like him.

I saw him at the Beachcomber on Wollaston Beach in like 92ish while he was playing the absolute shit out of his at the time Roto Kit with the Rick Berlin Band. It was absolutely mind blowingly Frightening. He was also teaching drums with the Waltham School District at the time. Mike Mangini is a cerebral Assassin and a phenomenal Drummer.

Mike Mangini would be perfect for Dream Theater. He has the energy like Mike Portnoy. I really hope that they make a good decision and get someone like Mangini. I can't wait to see what their decision is going to be.

Hey man, Mike Mangini isn't just about speed. If he was, he wouldn't be teaching at Berklee. I don't think he is the "best drummer" or anything, but the man is definitely very good. I haven't been part of any of his classes yet, but I have seen some of them when I am walking by, and he knows what he is doing.

Oh man... that is incredible in SO many ways. Bummer that Mike never really has gotten the cred he deserves. I saw him in clinic a couple years ago and he was ASTOUNDING... and a super-cool guy. His playing is like a PHD-level math course! His mirro-image kit concept is awesome and he knows how to use it!

whoah!!! this is the best rock solo ive ever seen! i love his argessiveness! full of energy!

excellent...thanks for postin

First saw him playing on this tour at the Hammersmith Apollo in June 1995. I didn't know who he was but my jaw dropped when I saw him play this.

Whoa! Man-genius always blows me away!

omg, i was at this show. it's the best drum solo i have seen, ever.

this's damn cool, brilliant improvisation.... i love freedom....

il m'a donné des frissons et c'est rare en musique ! merci Mike de passer sur Terre : Solo musical , technique et virtuose tout ce qu'il faut : Bettencourt et Mangini très bon concept

4/29: 5 days after my birthday. Best gift ever, you could say lol

was this Extreme? Drum Solo was So great I cant believe it! My goodness, what greatness they have on here! PROPS PROPS PROPS!

5:11 This is the fastest I've ever seen a drummer move around a kit.

I was all "Oh, this is fifteen years ago, surely his solos weren't as humanly impossible back then." ...I was wrong.

My that was Beautiful!!!!

Holy shit. Brilliant!

I saw him do this solo at the Hammersmith Apollo in London in 1995 and I was gobsmacked.

I was at this show....great memmories!

gotta love the hair!! it seems to accent all the loud notes!! wickedcool.

This guy is nuts... I actually saw him live with Steve Vai in 1999, his solo was even more insane then... there was even a part where he did a drum roll on the snare with one hand and started eating what looked like marshmallows with the other hand.

Excellent.

Love that Roto-Tom rig! Very nice drumming! A1!

I've read all the comments below. Let's just appreciate great talent and enjoy it, shall we??? I LOVE Portnoy and all that he's done with DT, Neal (and Steve) Morse, Transatlantic, etc.etc. But things change, don't they? Let's just appreciate this for what it is.

The most mind blowing drummer I've ever seen. And please don't come at me with the check out so and so comments. I've seen the Weckl's, Chamber's, Colaiuta's, Bozzio's, Portnoy's, Beauford's, Jordison's, Donati's, etc. This guy seriously puts them all to shame. Unbelievable!

I miss the time when I couldn't see mangini's affected grimaces.

HOLY SHT this guy is awesome

tnx

Amen brother. Well said.

awesome drumming

Kickass!

i agree, this is one of the greatest drum solos of all time.

so good

I saw him at a drum clinic a while back and I have to say he has the fastes single strokes I have ever seen. Crazy quick hands.

Wow... All the way back then Mangini was a MONSTER !

Nice...I like the way he has the rotos low to high on both sides...amazing chops with good rythmic ideas...thank God for something differnt!!!!

Brutal!!!

Absolute Fucking Madman on drums. Incredible.
