I love everything about Pearl drums. My first drum kit that I saved up my paper route money for was a 6 piece pearl maple kit that was made in the early 80's. Jeff Porcaro will always be my favorite drummer. RIP to all of the Porcaro's who have passed in the loving name of Jesus Christ.😊
No shortage of warranted superlatives to comment on this fine gentlemans excllent skill and work, i just GOT TA say..... best green sparkle ive ever seen. True slime
Mike Mangini is amazing - incredible chops and speed - thought place was empty and is was a soundguy shouting, but it makes to have an audience for such an event😎🤘
Ostinato heaven! I love how he creates unique ones (the two HHs!) and then explores the many almost mathematically possible extrapolations in a theme and variation kind of context. Very effective and I think it really makes his performances engaging for even non drummers who appreciate good musicians when they see them. Amazing command of 4 way interdependence and always composed and in full control, if at times to the point of sterility. What a performer!
2:37 I could only wish Mike had that kit over his current kit to play live with Dream Theater not only would he sound incredible but he'd look awesome! That kit Rocks! I've played Pearl my entire life and I'll be 65 This October and Currently play a 7 piece Master Works kit and there's no better kit than Pearl! I remember Mike as I grew up in Newtonville and went to the new Newton North High School in 1974 when it opened I was on the swim & Dive Team I was a Professional Diver I was 3 in our States division in both 1 meter springboard and 3 meter Platform my Coach was Ben Merritt a super great guy and coach he drove me hard I was at the Pool every morning at 6am practicing as I lived right across the street from Newton North and I was showered and in Home Room by 8:20 every morning oh the good Ole Day's but Iet Mike somewhere along those lines but that was decades ago Mike probably hasn't a Clue! But none the less he is in my top 5 drummers! With Gavin Harrison Dave Weckl Virgil Donati Steve Smith and not in that Order. Mike I'd Love to hear you play in clinic if you do any I live in Sharon I'm Retired and available anytime! Please let me know how to tap into your playing , 12:36 thoughts and Emotions! Respectfully Paul Robbins.
This version of Mangini is more versatile rhythmically than ever but the Mangini from the 90s was a freak of nature as speed, power and accuracy goes. For me, what he was doing back then is still unmatched to this day even if we got new powerhouse and ultra technical young drummers.
I don't know if this is just mic'ed up better than any other video, but the depth of these drums makes things vibrate on my desk in a way that nothing else I listen do does. Seriously makes me want a set. They sound amazing. Oh, and Mangini is pretty good, too. 😉
Happy to see Mike M. displaying his awesome chops on this Masters Maple line, an improved version of the formerly discontinued MCX line. I have an MCX set and thought they were gone for good.
best sounding drums in decades. nice snare sound, nica ambience and reverberation. too bad i don't hear this awesomeness insane drum sound in the DT songs, sorry. Mangini i love you. keep it up bro.
These drums sound amazing. I wonder however, if he will ever go back to the larger kit. I can only imagine what THAT would sound like with these works of art.
Mike is amazing and all, but did you all miss the friggin drum set. Serious skills to make drums and cymbals like these. This kit is over 50k. Nice job makers of drums!
His independence is off the hook. One of my favorite drummers. I play DW now but that Pearl sounds sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! I'd sell my D Dub to get that kit.
Easy to watch, but very hard to execute. Mr. Mangini looks like he's just playing around with these complex hand + foot combinations. Indeed a master of his craft.

The hi-hats are amazing but the length that he sustained a PERFECT rhythm is beyond amazing! The GOAT of percussion!!!
Dream theater needs to hire this sound engineer
He can do anything, but he has the joy of someone who just likes hitting drums. Real joy. Dig it.
Best sounding Floor Toms I have ever heard.
Thats the best sounding Pearl kit ive ever heard
Music is a pure gift!!! Michael...
Finally mike has been free from his drum cage🎉🎉...but im gonna miss him in his drum cage tho😢
I love when Mike plays the patterns with his feet on auto pilot... Then he lets the brain he has for each limb really shine!
Master of the craft. Always a treat to watch Mr. Mangini play 🔥
Drums sound amazing! Those floor toms GROWL!!!
WOW just WOW, Great sound, well-matched and distinct! I just wish this video was longer......
This sound goes straight to my soul. Excellent instrument and excellent drummer.
Mike Mangini.. the incredible drummer indeed!❤
Always a treat watching Mr. Mangini play!
Those drums sounds amazing!!! Mike Mangini is a beast and a legend behind the kit.
Biggest Mike, musicality, technic, space, just Master.. Thanks so much Mike =)
Hope we hear that snare on the next DT record. Sounds really great.
100% agreed.
Well sadly, we won't 🥲
just sadly seen.
I suppose we'll never know ....
I guess we won’t
One of the best if not the best drummer
The goat

Since he was young his solos always showed how musical and technical he was and still is up till today. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Magic Mike! Thanks for the inspiration buddy! Your indepndence and composure is INSANE!
This Man can do anything behind the kit...
My gawd!!! what a glorious sounding drum kit. I don't think I've heard better than this. Those floor toms are MONey!!!
Mike Mangini is amazing - incredible chops and speed - thought place was empty and is was a soundguy shouting, but it makes to have an audience for such an event😎🤘
You can see the crowd in the overhead shots.
Awesome sounding drums
The best sounding kit I've ever heard from Mike! Great playing as always.
Keeping those hi-hats going like that is very interesting, haven't seen that often if ever.
I always love watching mike do his drum solos. One day I want to drum like him and do drum solos like him.
Human metronome!!! Incredible skill to be able to perform as such, with diff time sigs and divisions all keeping the tempo. Simply the Best!!!
Ostinato heaven! I love how he creates unique ones (the two HHs!) and then explores the many almost mathematically possible extrapolations in a theme and variation kind of context.

Simply Brilliant gentleman !
I could watch him play all day, magnifico!! 👏👏👏
It's a Beautiful day, when you hear and see a Beautiful thing. This is random and yet spot on . Yep, WOW.☮️😀🇺🇸🇬🇧🥁
Master at work .My God listen to those drums.
Nice sounding drums and grooves!
Congratulations, Pearl! What a sound! I was just very impressed with the tones.
Groove=0

Did not want that to end! His playing, and the sound of those drums. Oh my 💥💥💥
Dude's so freaking fun to watch.
Amazing sound, really great drums. And Mike is amazing....Pearl you nailed it again.
Great sound, great finish, great drummer, great sound engineers.
Pearl's setups are always straight fire
I want a maple gum set.
don't change this line for a couple decades, it's perfect.
Very rich and mature in all aspect...extraordinary drummer
Great Mangini! Great Pearl Drums!
Someone put a huge, bright, white spotlight on that man!

Mike Mangini is awesome.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don’t think people understand how incredibly difficult it to keep that independent dual hi hat action going this ENTIRE time……what in the fuck…..🤯🤯🤯
this reminds me of 90s mangini clinic video.
Finally a mike mangini true inspired drumming. Really great!
Holy shit this kit sounds amazing! The playing is crushing!
Beautiful sounding drums.
hell yeah , best i have ever heard

I feel like if anyone was going to be able to do things like 90s Mangini, it would be El Estepario Siberiano.
Perfect drum sound and miking. Nice cymbal arsenal 2
That bits of A View from the Top of The World 😂 at 4:36
That rack tom sounds majestic
That snom is really cool, someone has to make that for a bass drum.
😂 Go for it
Great chops and sound as always! Those hat combinations were something else, I need to practice
I don't know if this is just mic'ed up better than any other video, but the depth of these drums makes things vibrate on my desk in a way that nothing else I listen do does. Seriously makes me want a set. They sound amazing.
Oh, and Mangini is pretty good, too. 😉
absolutely unbelieveble amazing great acoustic drum sound
Wow. That's great and so musical. Thanks, Mike!
the sound is really amazing......wow!!
The high-hat ostinato with the slick tom fills definitely hilighted how bad ass these drums really sound. Nice contrast...
Happy to see Mike M. displaying his awesome chops on this Masters Maple line, an improved version of the formerly discontinued MCX line. I have an MCX set and thought they were gone for good.
👍🏻😎Phenomenal drums for a phenomenal drummer. 🥁
Awesome as always Mike!
best sounding drums in decades. nice snare sound, nica ambience and reverberation. too bad i don't hear this awesomeness insane drum sound in the DT songs, sorry. Mangini i love you. keep it up bro.
This reminds me a lot to his old sounds in Annihilator
Amazing Mr Mangenius
Some of the best sounding drums I've ever heard! Maybe one day I'll be able to play well enough to justify a set like this lol
These drums sound amazing. I wonder however, if he will ever go back to the larger kit. I can only imagine what THAT would sound like with these works of art.
Was thinking the same!
Mike is amazing and all, but did you all miss the friggin drum set. Serious skills to make drums and cymbals like these. This kit is over 50k. Nice job makers of drums!
What an excellent solo!
I want this kit.. The finish it's unbelievable😍
Great commercial for pearl, those toms sound amazing
Mike is THE showman!
Well that was impressive!
Very technical. Good drummer! 🎉
Damn these drums sound like cannons. The constancy is incredible. I’m a Pearl fan. Sounds like the masterworks of old
Mangini Professor of Drums 🦁
Those drums sound insane
Would love to know the specs on the drums and Zildjian cymbals.
5:31 A view from top of the world?
One of the best sounding kits I've ever heard. My goodness.
Love the set up
His independence is off the hook. One of my favorite drummers. I play DW now but that Pearl sounds sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! I'd sell my D Dub to get that kit.
Best sounding drums ever 🥁🥁🥁
Man I’m buying a remote hi hat. That was way to cool.
Tasty solo,yet really showcases the awesome sounds of this new offering.#alwaysapro
Flawless execution! The Great Mangini!!!!!
Easy to watch, but very hard to execute. Mr. Mangini looks like he's just playing around with these complex hand + foot combinations. Indeed a master of his craft.
What is that small Tom/Snare? That thing is awesome! And can we talk about that finish……… I want those!
Beautiful sounding drums. Great demo of the drums
I can watch this forever. 😁
Dare I say that the middle hi-hat polyrhythmic part was inspired by Simon Philips ??👏👏
Wow! This guy is pretty good. I hope he makes it big one day.
lol Dream Theater
Drums sound great... that was sick!
Impeccable Drumming!👍👌👌👏👏👏
they sound brilliant!
Mangini totalmente fuera de serie.. monstruo total 🔥
