Yeah Mangini is wildly overrated. Dude plays like a robot. He can talk about the “musicality” and how he plays with emotion all he wants. He doesn’t. Zero feel. Portnoy WAS dream theater. He wrote so many of the lyrics as well.
@@rexross5189 yup. The feel as you said. It feels lost to me with mangini. Kudos for them to keep going of course but their sound and songs just isn’t my thing now. I listen to the portnoy era DT. Thats it.
+JulianFernandez Sounds not good in a promotional video if you say: Well, I first played Tama but Mapex endorsed me at first, so I played Mapex for 3 years and then Tama came up with an endorsement" :D
+AAXplosion I would have just said, "Before I became a part of the Tama family, I used Mapex drums and then I found out that there are so many other drums in different drum brands out there in this world that sound 100x better so I wrote a foul language'd letter to Mapex saying screw you then I made the big switch to Tama after testing out 500 crappy drums by 20 crappy brands like Yamaha, DW, Ludwig, OCDP, Pearl, Sonor, etc. I think Tama should be the only company to sell drums hands down and those other brands should go suck my fluff ;) *end interview*
@@bball98038 mapex screwed me, the rep repeatedly lied. They could not provide the drums I ordered. The Saturn are great drums, but mapex CS blows ass. They have a bad habit of showing things online that they cannot provide. At one point, they lost the veneering company, and knew they could not produce the drums, but kept saying "Maybe 30-90 days". After a year, still nothing. Never again.
What an awesome set of drums. Tama are far and away the kit makers around and this proff of that. Plus Portnoy is a real legend. What more could you want? Brillaint.
@OneTakeJesus If you're talking about the floor tom to the left of the 2nd hi-hat (if you are standing behind the kit looking at it), I think it's just a 14" Tom that is only 5.5" deep. I looked on Mike's website, but the most recent setup he had up there was the mirage monster. It looks the same on the main side of the kit and it listed that drum as a 14" Tom. I also think it has a bottom head here...it has two rims on it. The tom he talks about at 4:00 is single headed.
I think this guy has been here been there since the 90's but left in the 2000's i guess. Eric Disrude was a pretty interesting character. I'm pretty certain it was Jose setting up Mike's kit from scratch in the intro of his Progressive Concept DVD.
"I played many of the different lines from Imperialstar (as a kid) to you know aahhhh (shit what was it named?...) Starclassic Maple..... (shit, I realize I just played 2 lines from Tama) and NOW I'm playing the Bubinga Shells (puh.....).... and for me it's (ok, why I'm playing the bubings shells??? Hmmm....) the richest sounding drum I've ever played. (Cool, that's because I'm not playing maple anymore)." Love this interview! So authentic and real :D Once he said in an interview it doesn't matter what he playes, essentially he hits things. :D
@clance13 I don't see how you could classify the kit he's referring to as a jazz kit simply because it only has one up and two down. The toms could all be above 13 inches. Would you now consider it a "jazz kit"?
I always loved bubinga. I love the star series bubinga now even more than these (except the price being almost 5x as much). I wish more companies made them.
@triforce10155 yeah i know now just at the time i had no idea about it. I wouldn't say they would be better off without him. They probably just didn't want to take a break, and may have thought that it was disrespectful of make to ask for one. Since as we all know a lot of musicians have huge egos.
04:58 little did he know..
The foreshadowing...
hahaha, man, you're bad xD
oof
@Vic Santiago yeah but i think double bass pedals are much better sound than single bass with twin pedal thats why fans still choose MP drum sounds
I actually really liked his Mapex sounding kit on Awake and a Change of Seasons. I really love that drum sound.
especially the snare
I miss this guy playing for dream theater
Max Stevanus, without him I just stop listening dream theatre cause to me it doesn't feel the metal part.
Yeah Mangini is wildly overrated. Dude plays like a robot. He can talk about the “musicality” and how he plays with emotion all he wants. He doesn’t. Zero feel. Portnoy WAS dream theater. He wrote so many of the lyrics as well.
@@rexross5189 Nah, most certainly he is NOT a robot. Watch his late 90's drum solo. Man has everything Portnoy wishes he had
@@rexross5189 yup. The feel as you said. It feels lost to me with mangini. Kudos for them to keep going of course but their sound and songs just isn’t my thing now. I listen to the portnoy era DT. Thats it.
@@lcollingwood5959you’re missing out heavy dude. Distance over time is one of their best albums ever. Top 3 imo
"...Mike Manginniiiiii..."
litttllleee did he know
"Mike Mangini"
Zachary Phillips Oh, that irony of life... ^_^
that parrot colored bear is awesome
I loooove that clicking sound he gets out of his bass drum!
i love how he says at 3:28 "A traditional Metal Kit"XD
I like saying Bubinga... Such a fun word to say :)
At 5:24 its A rite of passage from Dream Theater's Black clouds and Silver Lining album
Tama, Sabian .... Damnnn!
Even his "small" kit is big:D haha i love you Mike:D!
"i really wanted some good old fashon WOOD........... to beat up."
Mike is great!
I have this kit and its stellar
thanks man
We all want good old fashioned wood in the right circumstance.
I think this is his best looking kit yet
The drum tech is John Myung's brother
What an awesome beard!!!!!!!
Damn they sound nice
From 17? Really? Forgot about Mapex, huh?

+Alex Grachek hahahaha. that a way of answering
He actually can't say or show anything about Mapex. On his Tama contract says that

Good job man
Mike rules
A rite of passage :)
u guys want to hear them in action look up dream theater live 2010 and look for a rite of passage, these drums sounded amazing
HaHA...LMAO. Classic!
@LarsThusingDrummer What do you mean by back heads? One's that the bass pedal hits (Batter) or the part on the front of the drum that say TAMA?
hey mike, congrats on winning 2011 drummer of the year btw your my idol
He cited Mike Manginni, he prophesied his successor! Portnoy Lives in my heart forever! But Manginni is very good drummer too!
the best drumer
el mas grande!!
All the more reason why Mangini is a good choice to take on Mike's throne. Great player and a great friend of Mike!
Mike portnoy should nene around and troll the internet I think he would be great at it
he has a nice beard! :-D
at first I thought it was the light around him...
Mike Porntoy
portnoy is the best!!!!!!!Tama freee drums for all DRUMMERSS!!
sou muito Fã da TAMA
so he had full bubinga kit in Black Clouds & Silver Linings finish which is now B/B only?
List of songs in this video please????
@Skyoneer2007 Right...I would go with the deccabons because they're by ddrum, but I do enjoy Tama just as much
the song is Rite of Passage from Dream Theater's Black Clouds and Sliver Linings album...currently being toured, BTW
Buzzzinga xD

very thick and some kind of natural sound.
Anybody know what that song playing is? I love it :D

What are these heads on the toms ? cool effect ! look like the Aquarian but Portnoy is with Remo !

@allmetaliswelcome The only thing I can think of is Jungle Kit.
La serie starclassic ya no se fabrica en Japón??
Wow
Does anyone know what the composition of the shells is on the right side/smaller kit are/is?
And where can I buy this?
omg i cant, lmao
Well, now that I'm not in DREAM THEATER anymore... I just use
a 4-piece kit... LOL
i wish i had two crazy huge kits two play on
@clance13 I don't see how you could classify the kit he's referring to as a jazz kit simply because it only has one up and two down. The toms could all be above 13 inches. Would you now consider it a "jazz kit"?
He changed his drum tech? I liked that dude from the dvd. wonder where he went to
he said WOOD TO BEAT UP, HOHO~
What are acrylic drums made up of?
Song at the beginning??
bit of a novice with Dream Theater but have just discovered how awesome Mike Portnoy is what is the song at the start?
When they get the drum kit from gig to gig, do they have to set all that shit up or is it on some kind of platform?
can someone tell me the song in the beginning thanks
What song
@CHR1ZA130K its actually his hi-hat attachment which sits in a similar position to a trigger. i was like :O aswell at first haha
@sick898 no it was something like 5 piece "....."
and i dont know what should be on the "....."
"Wanted some good ol' fashioned wood to beat up"
Song at the beginning?????!!!
in the next catalog, "mike portnoy signature kit, $5000" LOL
Can someone tell me if this shirt is on sell ?
What is the song in the very beginning?
Fuck me tama make awesome stuff. That finish is incredible. Loved it for years
@JimNayseum Ah, alright :) Great man, thanks!
@repentandrebel LMAO!
whats the song
That beard is BAD. ASS.
Can I not buy these anymore?
Are you kidding? I'd have a blast setting this up.
@LarsThusingDrummer Clear PowerStroke 3
@Forage17
a rite of passage
0:46-0:50 is a complete photobomb!
Jesus Portnoy...
OMG LOL "good old fashioned wood to beat up......" anyone else see the dirtiness in that?
@allmetaliswelcome
jazz kit with a floor.
doh..
he mentions mangini so casually, i doubt he thought he would be his replacement haha
at 2:07 to 2:09 what the the drums that hes playing called?
NOW YOU CAN SCALE DOWN :D...
Hope it isn't to early for that kind of jokes
Bubingas , like a very good speaker, have a wide frequency range unlike any other drums made today.
I always loved bubinga. I love the star series bubinga now even more than these (except the price being almost 5x as much). I wish more companies made them.
you can say that for both the Mike's ..
OMFG a rainbow-beard!!!!
Gimmee a Bubinga guitar
What happened to Eric Disrude?
Mike, please come back to DT
how do you call a 5 piece kit with 2 floortoms and one racktom? that has a special name right?
@labyrinthos1 Yea, Mapex is in the top 5, with Sonor for sure. Too bad they're incredibly expensive.
@triforce10155 yeah i know now just at the time i had no idea about it. I wouldn't say they would be better off without him. They probably just didn't want to take a break, and may have thought that it was disrespectful of make to ask for one. Since as we all know a lot of musicians have huge egos.
@SpinalAlloy the drum tech put it from the beggining again and again and again
