You know I really don't understand how you can give this guy shit, watching this video I'm convinced once again he deserves his place in DT, he plays with commitment, he's insanely skilled and he looks like a very nice person, as far as I'm concerned he owns my respect, keep it up Mike M. !

IMHO, They picked him because he was able to emulate Portnoy's style better and he's more of a Metal drummer. Personally, I think he could be an even better player if he didn't waste so much time on the ambidextrous gimmick. However, Minneman is actually more fluent (played with Necrophagist) but doesn't have that Roadrunner Records Metal appeal and nor does it seem that DT wants to be a real Progressive band any longer. Just my .02

Mike is a beast! That smile at 5:14 after he nails a truly mind bending section 🤪

People over use the word incredible but this is truly an INCREDIBLE drummer.

Mr. Mike Mangini, ever since he was just a kid, he was passionate playing drums. Talented right out of the gate. You combine that God given talent with loads of hard work, over half a century's worth, the answer simply=G.O.A.T💪 !!! If people not only in the business let alone other seasoned drummers can't see and hear that this man's skill level is somewhere in the stratosphere, then they are either blind or deaf and unfortunately some are both. A kind hearted man with an incredible gift that he chose to share with all of us. And never has he ever criticised or had a harsh word towards anyone let alone another drummer, total respect. Where he is from, and it just may well be another planet, he represents just fine !!! We all love you Mike, extremely proud of you !! May God continue to bless you, your family and of course your fellow band mates including your predecessor.💪✌❤

I would love to hear the rest of the album with this drum mix. Absoluty PERFECT

this is totally insane from Mike Mangini...too much awesomeness! worth watching over and over again...Mangini rules....Yeahhhh....

I was playing drums in a support band for Steve Vai when he came to Adelaide back in about 98. Steve was fantastic but Mike was just so amazingly proficient. His skills with one hand were just about what I could achieve with both. Technically astounding. I sat backstage and watched and totally felt like hanging up the sticks after that night. Just killer!

Mangini is unbelievable!!! What a monster!!!

It's amazing how simple he makes playing something so complex. Technique and precision out of this world.

I think my favourite aspect of this video is, as you watch Mike it's obvious from his expressions and body language just how close to the edge he pushes himself in this song and I'm sure all the rest too. He's not just keeping time or playing it safe and that's exactly why he was the perfect choice for this band!

Man... watching this video and reading Mike Mangini's posts on his page, I feel sorry for all the bad feedback he's getting for his drum sounds on Dream Theater albums. The production decisions (be it Richard Chycki's, or Petrucci calling the shots) is messing up the drums and he's getting the blame for it. I for one will cut him some slack. It's bad enough to have to fill Mike Portnoy's shoes as far as drumming and persona goes... I can't even imagine being the new guy in an established 20+ year band with such passionate (and picky) fans, and not getting a say even in my own sounds. All part of the fine print on that job description, I guess, but still. More power to you Mike! - A picky long-time DT fan.

we need more of these videos from this guy.. thank you zildian! :)

I don't know how people say this guy is robotic. Look how he just flows around this kit. He makes it look effortless. Half if the people complaining likely can't play this or any of his parts well, if not at all. Hell I can't. This guy is from another galaxy.

The great thing about Dream Theater Songs, is it allows the drummer to play unique and varied drum parts. Great playing as usual. Cheers

I wonder if this is how Mangini wants the snare to sound on the album... Telling the band, "Guys, especially John, this is how we should have produced the album!” 😋

Mangini is just a monster! He punishes a drum kit. I'm mesmerized every time I watch his playing.

Mike "The Man" Gini

I love this video because it shows how unbelievably good Mangini is. The guy really is an absolute master but he gets so much hate and disrespect because of the circumstances. Portnoy is my favorite drummer but to deny Mangini is anything short of a genius is just intellectually dishonest.

This album was really Dream Theater at their best. I saw them live during this tour and it was incredible!

2:51 are you kidding... Look at his right hand 😂

Yet another video to prove why he's my favorite drummer... Freakin' amazing!

In my opinion; mike mangini is the perfect fit for portnoy, he may not be like portnoy but he can give what the band (DT) needs! Respect for this guy! What a great skill..

WOW!! Musical and technical genius! This is other worldly! Leave this man alone and just appreciate a master at work!

Spectacular performance! Thank you.

It's 2019 and people are still having Portnoy vs. Mangini debates. Give it a rest! Portnoy isn't coming back. I prefer Portnoy over Mangini myself, but both are phenomenal drummers. It's hard to fill the shoes of some like Portnoy, and I think Mangini has done a great job. The amount of hateful comments I've seen directed towards him is disgusting and childish. I've met him once and he was the nicest, humblest guy ever, not to mention a technical beast on the drums. So give it a rest people.

I've never understood the hate for Mangini. He's an incredible drummer and fits in perfectly with DT's sound. There's no doubt that Portnoy was also incredible and was responsible for so much of their success as a band, but Mangini is phenomenal to watch and listen to. It's like the perpetual argument whether Tarja, Annette or Floor is the best Nightwish singer - they've all brought something new to the band in my view. Mangini hasn't got the same performance charisma as Portnoy, but he's a different style of drummer.

Man, I wish Mike M would have a drum sound like this on the studio albums...Ir gives the song, and his drum arrangement a whole new life.

What really blows my mind, even more than his one-limb speed, is how he can alternate back and forth from right-handed playing, to left-handed so smoothly and naturally! It's so unique and impressive! It figures why he sets up his kit symmetrically!

Absolutely amazing talent!

Astonishing!

His expressions: finally realizing how good his composition is !!

Simply amazing. More videos like this please!

4:58 what the????? he did the tom just by 1 hand.

The best mangini sound is in the extreme album called waiting for the punchline.

There’s a reason why Mike Mangini’s one of my top 5 drummers ever. He’s phenomenal and the fills in this song are ridiculous.

I love it! The Master has done it once again!

That was a Force of Nature I just watched.

My sifu, the best drummer.......for me forever in time

Mr Mangini, so flawless, period🥁🥁🥁🎵🎼🎶‼️🤘🤘‼️

This whole thing sounds better than the album version. James sounds awesome here!!! I think it's because the track isn't lathered with reverb and other effects, it sounds raw and clean and beautiful!

Mangini keeps musicality from DT alive. Even though he's an extraordinary musician, a master as the rest of the member, he is able to fit easily into the music complexity, rhythmically speaking. I hope he can develop his own tone on the upcoming records.

Mike sounds great here and he also sounds great on DT12.

Watching this man work is truly inspiring

Never feel bored watching the video, amazing...

I can't believe he is in his fifties and is still so damn fast!

DT should remix all their Mangini era albums with this drum sound. Absolutely killer

I've never been a fan of dream theater, but I really appreciate the skill involved. This guy isn't just a drummer. He's a true musician. I think I like this "smaller" kit better then the usual cube set up.

it was incredible.. what innovation, precision, feelling and technique

Respect to the Man who is keepin Dreamtheater alive....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The thing about the production on the Mangini era albums is that Mangini is still the newcomer to the band, so he probably doesn’t want to tell John and Jordan what to do. It’s their project. On the other hand, Portnoy was there since day one, so he had as much control as JP and JR. That might be the problem with the album production for some people.

Anytime I watch this guy I'm shaking my head and my jaw is on the floor.

It’s amazing to watch him🤘🏻

That...was...Awesome!

amazing!!!

This was a eye opener. I always wondered why the drums sounded so flat in the albums. It sounds so freaking good here. Such a graceful player.
