A View from the Top of The World Drums Only

- This song had so many parts relating to my Master Class Coordination Techniques, that I uploaded the whole thing. As described in the Video Intro, this is a drums-only version of the song "A View from the Top of the World" off of the Dream Theater album with the same title. The techniques are discussed in my Master Classes and are the foundation of Rhythm Knowledge, Volume Three, "The Ultimate Stickings, " as well as the crux of my "Coordination Zoom Class" Video available on my Vimeo Channel. Sorry if you do not know this song to follow along, especially as you cannot hear anything during the middle 'break' section.

We gonna miss you Master! Thanks for everything
Aye
I`m not going to miss him. And he`s not dying...
Indeed! 😢
I will always love and appreciate Mangini's contribution to Dream Theater but I still can't wait to hear what Mike Portnoy will bring back to the band in their next release. Interesting time to be a Dream Theater fan.
@@bishopoftroyfak you. Please apreciate this legend after 5 fantastic album with DT kids.
WANNA SEE MANGINI ON DRUMEO NOW 😉
Me Too, but it strange that they don't make nothing wit him...
@@aadrianogamino Let's hope they will film something soon 😁
Of course Jared was going to feature Portnoy because in eseence Drumeo is about stardom before anything else.
@@InzidenzPanik So true! I'm glad some people understand it. It's a rarity to find a real educational value on Drumeo.
Yessss
One of the best Mangini era songs
Oh man.. I am really going to miss your contribution to DT songs! Your drumming is 10/10 perfection!! Thank you for everything, Mike!
In second this.
3rd 👍🤘🤘
💯percent yes🤘
@@deantalbotdrums- and 4th.
Mike Mangini isn't just a human metronome...he's an architect on the drums.
id say he is an engineer on the drums.
The Einstein and Newton of drum,
Not just a Patriot missile programer and Brain expert
I don't know if he's a human,
How he learn all the DT songs in just short amount of time
Neil Peart is Professor of drum
Mike Mangini is Architect of drum
Then Mike Portnoy?
Indeed.
He's always composing all elements of percussion, becoming a form (dynamic+tempo), space (pattern+rhythm) and character (theme) in DT musics.
@@FMATheQuiet portnoy is your mom
I was sad and angry when MP left and MM joined DT.... and now I'm sad and angry that MM left and MP rejoined .... Lucky to have attended all DT's performances with MM from 2011 to 2022. (just to be clear, I love them both as brilliant drummers. MP was the one who got me hooked to DT in the first place and brought me back to metal drumming from jazz back in '98. I owe much of my drumming knowledge to him...)
hope there will be "when day n dream re-unite part 2" concert where derek, mangini even moore will joined
@@tejacavalera I think it's fair to say that Kevin Moore not only slammed that door shut, but ripped the knob out, melted it, and used the melted knob to weld the door shut for good.
That said, an encore featuring Derek Sherinian and Mike Mangini would be cool.
Mike drums like a mathematical genius. I don't even know how he keeps track of the count.
Mike's approach is instantly recognizable. It's really musical. Like Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, you instantly know when you are listening to Mike Mangini.
Mike, what a good song! We'll miss you
DT made a huge mistake!
Mangini rules.
Love it! Mangini rules!!’
Jesus. I guess we won't be hearing this one live anymore!
99% for sure!
yeah portnoy play one of the hardest 20mins long mangini era song.. doubt it hah
When Mike Mangine joined Dream Theater he took the band to another level... thanks mike !
Absolutely
grammy award on Mangini's era @@Gnathan96
Agreed 👍
Exactly! It's a shame they decided to come back to the previous level.
Funny how people only started saying these things after he left
Dream Theater will always have two drummers. Thank you for all you did for us and the band, Genie!
I thought you had big shoes to fill when you joined DT, now I feel that Portnoy has big shoes to fill returning to DT.
Thank you for 5 incredible albums of music with the band. Really enjoyed your solo album and can't wait to hear what you do next. I will be a fan of yours for life.
Keep smiling Mike!
It will very much piss me off if they gloss over these last 10 years because mp cant play mm songs
@@montruo000000007 Well.. He can't lol.
Well said. I love both Mikes but I don’t see MP playing this.
The Best Drummer of DT!!!❤
It was the only way I'd listen to the old material!
Me and Portnoy just don't vibe.
I love Mangini on LaBrie's solo work. When I heard that in 2002, I was dying to hear Mangini with DT.
I was SHOCKED when it happened!
I miss those days! The excitement for cutting edge drumming by a virtuoso!
@@danlc95 Elements of Persuasion...Mangini does not take hostages there
@@jerryzi55788 - No sir!
One of the best drum compositions from Mike, and one of the finest on Dreamtheater's discography. Pure genius.
Polyrhythmic genius
Thanks for keeping the dream alive for 13 years. One of the things I really enjoyed about your playing is how you never seem to repeat a fill the same way from song to song, and your mastery of odd time signatures just blows my mind.
This is what I have been saying for years! 👍 He designs fills and drum parts to fit the music. I don’t know of any other drummer who does that to this level. Really going to miss this in DT songs.
You'll always be missed Mike!
You took Dream Theater forward and into the next level. This song is a masterpiece in the history of music.
Impossible without you, Mike.
Thank you for everything you gave us.
We'll meet in Heaven. God bless.
100%
I can’t see this song ever being played again. Or the Alien. If MP’s comments in a recent interview are correct (he said he’s happy to do what the band want, but there’s plenty of material before 2010, or words to that effect), it sounds like he’s already building up to ignoring the last 13 years. I saw them twice before MP left, and 6 times with MM. if they stop playing MM’s stuff, I won’t be going to see them again. The last 13 years’ music is, for me, the best music they’ve ever produced, and certainly the best drumming. They didn’t win a Grammy before this album, and the song, the Alien, according to an interview with JP, was based on one of Mike Mangini’s ideas. Thanks for such a unique and amazing contribution, Mike 🤘🤘🤘
MP said something more like “he’s happy to play mangini era songs if that’s what the band want, but is mostly looking forward to playing the albums he played on again live most of all because there’s so many songs that he hasn’t played in years” and I think that’s to be expected. I also doubt they have any intention to ignore 13 years of music. Maybe the first tour they will not play much because it’s the official reunion tour, but I’m sure they will add more songs as time goes on. This split was as drama free as it gets. No reason to ignore the era.
@@michaelcarra4080
If he hasn't played his own songs in years it just means he needs to practice the catalogue before touring , NOT to make the fans have to wait for him. Why should they. I think it's a joke to only play material from what he the cry baby recorded. It's not our problem he wants to run things his way so not to play MM parts - it's not MP world it's DT.
He will play whatever the bands chooses to play man. It’s not about him not knowing the catalog. It’s the fact that many fans that missed that line up wants to see them play that era. Like I stated earlier… this is the most drama free split. All drama is from the fan base not the band or even Portnoy. Clearly a number of fans dig the Mangini era more, and that’s cool, but many want to see those classics played with that line up. Fact is nothing is written in stone yet. We will see what they do, but it won’t be a shocker if they focus on the first 10 albums on that first tour. Anyone that has a problem with that can just skip that tour.
I'll be honest. As far as I love MP, it's impossible to not be an your fan MM!. You can be sure that MANY will miss you in DT, you're amazing, both as musician and as a person! Incredible performance btw
Mike... You were at a very high level for the capabilities of the Dream Theater musicians. For me,❤ you will always be "The Drummer" of Dream Theater. Thank you very much for everything, Master Mike Mangini.❤❤❤
That smare is tuned perfectly, and that groove is 🔥
I have been waiting for the drum cam for this song, incredible performance!
What an amazing, creative and clean performance! You will be missed!
That splash at 3:23 gets me every time 🤩
Me too! a cheeky little stroke of genius moment if you ask me
Same!
Me too! Since the very first listen.
Man oh man am I ever gonna miss you playing with DT brother!!! You brought a whole new level to them. Thanks Mike
Remember folks, this is the guy that is apparently a robot and plays with no feeling... whatever that means. Gonna miss you, Mike. ALOT!
never understood that either, just ppl trolling. MM’s playing is just perfect, EVERY hit counts
I think this mostly stems from how horrible his drums were mixed on some of the albums. He sure sounds a LOT better with a more raw and live sound!
God, I know. I think it's more than just people trolling due to the number of people saying just that. Drummers even! Just Portnoy fans boys not knowing what they're talking about.
@@rot_studios has nothing to do with how they mix his drum. He play hells kitchen or any parts that have hihats grooves like a midi track
Mike, your singles are INSANE! Thank you for all of your contribution to the DT catalogue, will remain a loyal fan 🙌🏽
And…..It will never ever sound like this again. It has been a privilege to see you perform live. Thank you for elevating our standards and vision with what you do! Thank you master 🥁
It was a treat.
He was before his time.
His work will be studied through the ages.
Not only are you the absolute greatest Drummer in the 🌍 and will always remain the greatest in my life. Funny story i lived in Newtonville Right across the street from the new Newton North High School we both went to the same school it opened in 1974 i was Class of 1976 i was on the Swimming and Dive team i pursued the Diving end and was number 3 in the states ill never forget my coach Ben Merritt the nicest guy on earth i was at the Pool 6:30am Monday through Friday Practicing, showered and in Homeroom by 8:20am every day like clockwork im certain we met i became a Drummer in Boston Bands during the late 70's early 80's i played for 3 years in a famous popular band back than called the Lines i recorded three albums with them and one video in NY City it was a song called in my car, it was number one on WAAF and WBCN for weeks and number one over in Europe on their MTV called Music Box for over two months and it was on MTV for ages, i left them after being burnt out because im never home and all the money made paid for all the records we made also our road crew playing out every weekend Bunrattys, TT the Bears, The Channel, The Rat 🤣 , i was a Studio Drummer for a while played on some heavy hitters from Boston, also did some Recording at SIR recording studios in Manhattan NY that was a trip i met Billy Idol and Brian Titchy his Drummer one weekend we were both there recording ,and long story short got out of the music business and Opened a Ferrari and Lamborghini Franchise till retiring a few years ago, i still own my favorite Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. Ok now you, I've followed you with DT for 13 years and when i heard they got rid of you to get their Berklee College Of Music member back not only was i crushed but i was pissed and as God is my witness and im sure I'll have Zollions of followers agreeing with me that DT just wanted to get their roomate back, not taking much from Portnoy but not only are you a superior Drummer to him but you have personality and it shows in your presence onstage , the rest of the band is like watching the living Dead! Not a single one of them have an ounce of stage presence Myung, Patrucci, Rudess all have no personality or know how to engage the audience which leads me to LaBrie aside from him having the most stage presence and audience interaction its unfortunate to say that his Voice has finally given out to all his years of singing, i no longer will or have the need or desire to follow DT without you behind the kit and i wish you all the success from my ❤ you are truly a one of a kind Drummer and how DT treated you when Portnoy came sniffing around was very unprofessional which only shows their true colors! Your a better person Mike and you deserve nothing but the best life has to offer! One thing is for sure you definitely have this fellow Newton North High Brother in your Corner! 🥁 ✌🏼
This is so sick!! Thank you for your time and everything! I'm gonna miss your perfection in style, rythm, groove, poly-brain-f*ck. Just everything you brought to the band was mastering orchestral unbelievable drums. You will be the master for all times. That is for sure.
Mike you are the best dream theater drummer for all time. It will be very very difficult for Portnoy to play your drum parts
The construction of the fill at 12:19 is pure musicianship. Without overdoing, lots of creativity. The combination of kick and descending soft tom patterns with emphasis on the snare... Unbelievable...
That was tasty!
From the outside looking in, it seems like you got a raw deal Mr. Mangini. As far as I can tell, you always conducted yourself with class and professionalism, and have played some of the most complicated parts I’ve ever heard. I personally appreciated your contribution to Dream Theater.
We all ll regret the band choice 😭
I was so proud saying Mike mangini is the drummer of my favorite band ♥️
After they kicked you out in such a way, I really lost interest in DT trying to rehash their 2010 formula...At least you´re still sharing these really cool bits. I am glad to expand from the double kick flams and 16th notes to actually melodic alternating stroke fills.
This song is one of the best Dream Theater epics. And Mangini’s drum parts are next level 🤘
Fantastic, Mike! DT's Mangini Era was the best. From ADTOE to AVFTTOTW, pure magic and DT never sounded better live. You'll be missed, Master Mangini.
the mental & physical dexterity it must take to play this is unfathomable!
you really are a master of your craft Mike.
Can you imagine that one day, Mr Mangini played this song live with DT for the last time without him knowing about that? He always gave 100% of his talent to the band.
I am still sad the way he got dismissed.
I'll miss him.
I'm glad I was able to watch several concerts from 2~3 row, look closely to him playing and even a Meet & Greet with a picture and autograph.
I am young enough to not have seen Neil Peart on his prime year, but I am glad I was able to enjoy your time with Dream Theater.
Mr Mangini, you'll always be the best for me!
This is pure GOLD. MM plays tuplets inside tuplets any TS like 23/16 or Polyrhythms or whatever. MP just plays TS but no Poly no tuplets just that eternal linear pattern 4 hands 2 feet, the Lars of Prog
Can you link the time stamp again that goes to the end of the song and what does TS mean?
@@ejRecording TS = Time Signature.
yeah what he said
A true Master drummer at work!
It's very rare to see this level of musicianship, skill ,power , control, and finesse. It's crazy.
Take it in and know this is unusual !
i love how happy you are behind the kit, shows emotions in parts where id be staring into space trying not to mess up, thank you mike!!
You were the right man at the right place in DT. I love every album you recorded with the guys and attended every parisian show. We owe you so much !
Damn Mike. The drums sound perfect. That SNARE is CLEAN! I watched you from the second row play this song, but having the isolated drum tracks are fantastic! Thank you for your time, talent, and expertise!
It's really sad to see you no longer in the band.
Remembering, seeing you play for the first time with DT, I could only say WOW and WOW, even until now... An era that will never be repeated, the end of an era... thank you for your dedication. Legend!
The only man in the world I can listen playing drums for 20 minutes. Losing you was a huge mistake for DT
The best Drummer Mike RESPECT
Truly the Master!❤
In my opinion, the most capable rock drummer alive
16:37-17:10 pure masterclass 🫡
The God of drums right here!
DT were the only band that could be able to display and create with your genius, no other band could showcase the true extent of your brilliance or genius or even hint at your beautiful world Mike but unfortunately as much of an amazing professional as you are not to admit so and take it with generosity, the band completely screwed you and now I see are businessmen who absolutely don't deserve you.
I have been an obsessive DT fan since 1995, their music was like air to me. But my appreciation and dedication to your craft Mike has now moved me away from them and a Mike Mangini fan for the rest of my days. I hope you will find it in yourself to focus on writing and releasing material, collaborating with the greatest musicians in the world so that you can explore and inspire and showcase the depth of your genius to your fans.
Best wishes and I look forward to the most incredible drum work and creativity I will ever hear. You didn't lose out, it's really DTs loss.
You were always so fun and stunning to watch! Keep it going Mike! 💪🏼
I hope these exercises reach many people. This lesson is great.
Mike Portnoy will come here a lot of times to watch how to play this on live 😅
I bet we won't hear this one with MP on the drums! But man, this is some crazy drum work. On the whole album, tbh.
Never seen a concert with Portnoy. But I get the feeling he'd simplify many portions of this song so that he can provide his signature backing vocals.
I think it's bs that Mangini was judged on how well he could play Portnoy parts from both the band and listener's yet when Portnoy talks he gets to choose whether he wants to play Mangini era songs or not and the fans are ok with that then they have the gall to compare the two with a bias for Portnoy. Portnoy is a delusional ego maniac, just listen to the way he talks about DT now as if to this day he owns the band. How weak and egotistical to ignore an entire decade + of DT material. Truth is he can't play Manginis parts satisfactorily, plain and simple. If you disagree it's only because you're a Portnoy simp. And for those who are so happy to have him back in the band, you act like Mangini era albums were 1. So much worse than previous DT albums and 2. Despite the brilliant next level drumming that actually existed the material you act like it's Manginis fault when he was treated like a second rate member the entire time. Please don't act like there weren't far worse DT albums during the Portnoy era, not everything was Images and Words or Metropolis.
@@user-ly4gy1iz2eNot sure why you're yelling at me, I agree with you.
@@user-ly4gy1iz2eyes portannoy called mangini a hired gun recently... He's back at his old ego tripping
@@martinvranovsky7085
How is making a point based on what you said (not disagreeing) and giving your comment a thumbs up 'yelling' at you?
the Amazing Mike Mangini!🤩
Having played Bach fugues myself for 20 years now, I cannot help but notice multiple rhythmic lines being guided simultaneously throughout. Been lucky enough, and so grateful, to see DT 4 times with You!!! Witnessed this peak DT composition being brought to life in 2022. Also feeling sad that I'll never have the chance of hearing it live again. Thank You! 👊🏻
No words! What an amazing journey with DT.
You remind me of a combination of Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Terry Bozzio.
You'll always be the soul of DT for me. You play like you genuinely love the music.
You are a legit "one of a kind" musical phenomenon.
thank you for your drumming to this band. In my humble opinion this song represents the apex of your time with them, your work here is truly amazing. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you brought us Mike
Thank you for all you contributed to Dream Theater. We may never know what really went on behind the scenes of your exit, but your public professionalism is a great example for us all. Your drumming is probably the most technically masterful any of us will ever get to witness, and you did such a great job helping the spirit carry on, as the song goes. Thank you Mike!
The best Drummer ❤
Il Migliore
You are such a joy to watch. Really loved the last two albums - phenomenal playing!
Sir your legacy always will be with us 🙏
I think its great, he's my favorite hard rock drummer now. He has so much finesse.
Simply outstanding. Gutted I never got the chance to see you play live. Dream Theaters loss.
These songs will probably never be played live again
We will miss you Mr. Mike Mangini ❤
Thank you for your service sir. ❤
DT + the best Drummer 👍❤❤👍
I will miss you so much in DT. You took this band to whole new levels. For me, DT will never be the same again.
I saw you with Cory Wong - and man, it was great to see you show such joy and commitment - I hope with all my heart to see and hear you contribute more to this kind of music.
So my dear drum hero, I wish you the best in the future.
Thx for sharing this! It is one of my favorites DT tracks ever!!!🤩
Thanks for the amazing years you enjoyed me a lot!
Such an amazing song. You kept the dream alive! Thank you Mike!
One of my favorite drummers, you're ranked up there with Neil Peart, and yes, you belong there....
Just Mike Mangini casually dropped a video lesson for DT's new drummer
I just took your Master Class in Washington last week.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all! It was extremely eye opening and helped me completely change my outlook on how i play.
Thanks for all you've done for the band , I was glad that I saw you live with DT.
I’d love to see a Mike Mangini-Michael Romeo collaboration one day… Both are true masters of their instruments with special technical abilities and musical prowess.
This level will not be seen again. I'll miss you, master. Thank you for everything
Omg , this has everything, ty MM !!
We love you Mike!!❤
The day will come when Dream Theater will regret firing you. I highly enjoyed your contribution to the band.
Listen to Mike Mangini is the truth to recognize , how wide the world of drumming is, and there is every day to explore new aspects.
MM is a fantastic drummer and a great inspiration for me.
I am 57 years old now. There's a lot of more stuff to learn...😊
!00%,,pure class,,,absolutely sublime playing.....
Love your work with DT! Incredible track!
Beautiful work, Mike! Will miss you in DT but look forward to more amazing MM musical creations!
Great track and great playing, as always!
Amazing Mike!!!!!!
Love this song, thank you for uploading! Saw DT live twice on this tour. Never forget.
Just Amazing!
Increíble composición Mike!
Good times Mike! Thanks for all of the memories
Lucky to see you during the last leg of the tour. Your performance is always flawless.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G drums, man! Such a rich and varied drum line!!!! Congratulations!!
You are a master!
Keep slayin’ legend
Much love
Gonna share this video to all my social media, all my friends, and family. Thanks for this video playthrough sir
