I had the privilege of playing in a Band with Mike back in the early 80's and even as a teenager into his early 20's, he was not only an incredible drummer back then, but he was super to work with and a genuine nice person. I am so happy to see that he is doing what he loves and has helped make great music over the years.

It's been discussed more than anything else I've ever seen over and over on the internet. I wish these people would just appreciate things for what they are. The bottom line is, Portnoy made the best albums of his life after leaving DT and the world is better for it. If they don't like it, don't listen and leave people who do the hell alone.

He's in the top .0005% of the world's drummers'...99.9% of humans have no clue that its nearly impossible to keep track of and memorize all these crazy time changes, let alone execute them with perfection.

Exactly. You watch this dude's drum solos and realize that the only people who can even comprehend what he is capable of playing are those who are musically educated on a drum kit. He is literally too good for anyone else to appreciate. It's like an American toddler trying to understand Arabic. This guy is phenomenal and anyone who disagrees with that really just has no idea what they are talking about. With that being said, I still hate the fact that Dream Theater exists without Portnoy...but his replacement is more than capable.

Watching drum cam footage of Mike playing to any dream theater song feels like an education. The way he chooses every note really seems to flow and follow the music so well. His playing seems to go beyond playing the pocket and really adds color and shape to the groove. Check out his personal KZread channel for his drum cam footage of playing Metropolis pt.1 in the unision section, ITS UNREAL and demonstrates how short changed Manginis musical contribution gets in recordings and DVDs.

Mangini es de esos músicos que no importa que video sea, me detengo a verlo de principio a fin, un verdadero maestro...👍🥁😉🤜

I just can't help but love this guy and I'm a shitty, grumpy, critical son of a bitch. His love for what he does, his enthusiasm, his occasional red carpet pose when he goes for the high crash cymbal on the left? 😂 He's SO fucking awesome. I hear he's genuinely one of the kindest, most down to earth people you'll ever meet too.

So incredibly blessed to have him as dt's drummer. The only soul that could have filled MP's massive shoes! Enjoy him everyday!!

Holy hell, he's hitting the drums hard as heck here. The cymbals almost folds in half LOL. Plays with such feeling/heart. Mangini is my favorite drummer.

Great superb drumming

just wow, such a great drummer \m/

The drum sound got so much dynamic here

I just wish he would change that snare sound. When he was playing with Steve Vai, Extreme or even during the DT auditions, the snare sound is way much better than what he is using currently.

Mangini's body didn't have to take nearly 2 decades of drug and alcohol abuse, and Lars only runs Metallica songs, he's not even working to improve, he's just trying not to lose what he has. Lars' playing in '89-'91 era is also pretty inarguably great for what Metallica is. Most of the hate he gets is deserved, but Metallica and Dream Theater require such different things behind the kit.

If we were having this conversation 15 feet from that kit we wouldn't have to raise our voices. That's why modern Dream theater drumming sounds like people setting coffee cups on a table and Metallica sounds like the cavalry running down the enemy. Lars doesn't have to care about being a great drummer. He is a great drummer.

I really wish the whole song would get posted from these camera angles. There’s another vid of the whole thing but the audio & vid are very low quality.

You know for these drums being written by the guys in the band that don’t play drums they sure did a great job I’m sure mm made them into his own put his own touches on it but this album was done when he joined so the other guys really are talented

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👋🤘💪

To me it's, I've always been amazed by both Mangini and Portnoy....but also Minneminn who also tried out for the DT spot but also plays with Guthrie Govan and Brian Beller in The Aricstocrats
