Never seen this clean and tight drumming, miss you man @mike mangini. You're the best. No human nor AI can beat you. Truly amazing. I love all your albums right from 2011 to 2021 albums. DT will regret their decision.
The best!! Best drumming, a creative and musically amazing composition of drum part! The Top Of The World album was absolutely MASTERPIECE because of your drumming and rhythmic contribution. You’ll be not forgotten sir!
There’s a handful of parts this metronome just didn’t make anything any easier for my brain🤣 huge kudos to you Mr. Mangini !!! A true legend of our lifetime ‼️🙏🏽
It’s all awe inspiring, but the section from 02:59, even without guitars and keys, gives me chills. Mike, I’m really going to miss your playing in this band. Awaken The Master indeed 🙌🤘🤘🤘
I know, I'm heartbroken over all of it. MM was the guy who really solidified my love for drumming, and he is still my favorite drummer to watch today. As much as I understand all of the nostalgia for DT with Mr. Portnoy, this just all feels wrong. Mangini was carrying the band forward, and it feels like they just unilaterally decided to take 10 steps backwards.
I hope you saw them live on this last set of tours. You probably won't see them play any songs off of this album because of Portnoy. If you do, they will certainly be watered down or "Portnoyfied" with his hallmark fills.
@@OfficialDreamTheater absolutely! It would be like arrangements "for easy drums", and a bunch of random RLRLKK. (And yes, I saw them live six times since 2012 and it certainly has been a delight)
Mike since you joined Dream Theater I have thought of you as an amazing drummer that added so much to the group and I was always watching live videos of Dream Theater just to be able to enjoy you and your amazing talent and when I heard that you were leaving the group I was sad but at the same time I’ve always hope for the best for you in the future with your drumming and when I found out you had a UA-cam channel I had to subscribe so I would never miss the great talent of you thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent throughout the years peace ☮️ out ✌️
Thanks for showing us a big heart when you announced your DT situation. I’ve seen you guys in Indonesia 2 years ago. You gave me goosebumps for the entire show. Sad to see you got replaced with MP. But, I thank you for the enhancing DT songs to be more majestic in my ears especially for DT’s final album with you. Mike… thank you very much🙌🏾
I love how when he joined DT everyone was like "mannn he sounds too robotic" but now that hes leaving everyones like "WAIT NO WE WERE JOKING COME BACKKK" yall are just talk, just admit you love the mans drumming already
To be fair, when you see your fav musician leave a band, it's always hard to not be mad at the replacement, but with time you start liking the new guy...only for him to leave te band, same thing happened to me with Jay Weinberg, he became one of my favs but then he got kicked out man it hurts
Exactly, sometimes you only value something when it's gone and Mangini drum lines we're not robotic but too complex and diversified and new but your ears we're not ready for it then and now you realized that.
I’m sure you guys all feel this and Mike probably hears this a lot. First I love Portnoy. I do. Love everything that he did for DT all those years. It took about 5 minutes to love Mike Mangini in the band. The dilemma I have now is it’s kind of sad to know we won’t hear any NEW wonderful music from the collective minds of this group with Mike Mangini anymore. I kind of wish we could have two bands..one with Portnoy one with Mangini lol Love all that you’ve done. I know that you’re still producing material and we all will follow you with great interest Mike!! 👊🏻
Yes, I know you must have listened to me Mike in the previous video comments and now you are doing it. I am very impressed with the way you play. You are my inspiration and I think you are the greatest. There is only 1 song left, namely Transcending Time. thanks u
It's all about money the 40 y anniversary tour and shit ,Mike Mangini i way up there, i'm myself a drummer ,been playing for 45 years now, born on the exact same day as Mike Portnoy , i used to jam with a Guitarist here alot of Dream Theater songs ,and loved images, Metropolis pt2 ,but the way the new songs with Mangini turned out i was really hooked ,he is a freakin composer ..
great drumming. great power, and great groove. judging by what you see, and not by what you hear, it always seems easier than it actually is, with mm. that misleads a lot of people who judge the drumming by the show. one of the greatest drum performances i've ever seen. up there with the alien on increased speed. love the double kick.
I admire and love your techniques, I have learned a lot from your superhuman abilities. It's a shame you're no longer in the band. I was able to see you in Chile and it was my dream to see you all together, the best memory for a lifetime. I hope they are up to par now that you are no longer with DT@mikemangini
Mike we love you you are so incredible my friend I just enjoy watching you whatever you decide to do I’m not a drummer but I just know you are the most talented drummer I’ve ever seen or heard
God......dude is solid AF.....the use of SILENCE is amazing. Groove Master if there ever was one.......stayed right on the click........Amazing stuff Mike. Edit - I just read the description.....even thought the click is straight 1/1.......It felt natural as hell not knowing the click was "Off"........My first thoughts were you play along with this click as you normally would.......Im at minute 7 now....I can here the click struggling to keep up......Lol........I see where the interesting parts are now......the click triggers off of distance in volume peaks(signal/Waveform)...😂😂.
Study music kids. I used to just jam to a click to see what I could do. I could play very well but figured out quickly that I did not know where the "1" was. I got lost. I was just playing by feel but did not know, musically what I was doing. I could jam with most when it came to the real stuff this limited me. My confidence and my creativity suffered. Point being, study, practice, but also have fun. Learn from Mike and you will go far.
Manginis awesomeness in playing is that great. The depth of technicality when his body response to playing, you cant see signs of awkwardness. His movement is fluent you can really see how well he studies the music and how he used his mobility to be effective and not causing awkward movement🙏
Llevo 9 minutos oyendo y me acabo de dar cuenta de que no hay una base musical (tonal). Pura percusión, puro ritmo....GENIALIDAD. Mangini...eres el p.amo!!!
@mike mangini, i didnt care about dream theater until i watched u try out, i knew then u would be there choice now that your gone im gone as well, not even u can convince me they didnt do u wrong i saw in your eyes wut it ment to u!!!! U put your heart into that band and they throw u in the garbage!!!!! I remember there exact WORDS and they were, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, not WELCOME TO THE BAND UNTIL PORTNOY WANTS HIS GIG BACK, FK DREAM THEATER, gimme a solo album im following you you are the mam!!!!!
DT is not his BAND, DT is founded by 3 berklee dropouts Mangini cant do something about it... its not portnoy who dump him blame petrucci for it my personal opinion is: Mangini should take advantage the fame he earned from DT he should form a BAND that can call his home...
Man, at 4:55 some vicious dynamics here! The great part of the AVFTTOTW album is that it is a big drum solo with some music written around it. This will be be surely a classic more more recognized over the years.
Mike Mangini, espero que apareça um guitarrista, um baixista, um tecladista e um vocalista com qualidades semelhantes as suas, para voces criarem uma das melhores bandas de progmetal de todos os tempos. 🙏
@@vjPulp The astonishing is a bit boring because its too "conceptual" on telling a full movie story, its too ambitious. Even DT fans didnt get ir right. It was the least "metal" album. Very soft on too many ocasions, but.. the other albums are fukin great dude.
Mike u are insane.. Absolute insane Drumming with the AI Click! Mike Portnoy make a Mistake when he left DT in 2010... DT make a Mistake when he kicked u out in 2023. Sry iam a german, for my bad english. But u create a special Dream Theater 13 Years along, that Mike Portnoy cant fill it, never. I love you both.. but you are technical a high level on top. I hope u create great Music with your new Band. WE ALL NEVER,,,, NEVER forget you in every Music Corner! YOU ARE GREAT! GOD BLESS YOU !!
Proof that metronomes are calibrated to Mike Mangini.
mike mangini´s timing is so perfect that he LITERALLY has a metronome trying to play to him and not viceversa
i was thinking the same .. he's got to the point where he surpasses the machine
😂 so funny, the click has a hard time trying to follow him
Melhor baterista de todos os tempos.
😂 Literally
I was blown away when found out this entire video is CGI animated.
Never seen this clean and tight drumming, miss you man @mike mangini. You're the best. No human nor AI can beat you. Truly amazing. I love all your albums right from 2011 to 2021 albums. DT will regret their decision.
Lads did a big, big mistake
You see human playing the drums.
I see the goat
Ladies and gentlemen Mike the Master Mangini AKA the goat
The highest level of percussion in history
Most consistent rim shot in the industry
Neil Peart
@@sw1tched boy do i got bad news for you
Only person with a better rim game than both these guys is Riley Reid
Bill Bruford
go outside, you will see lots of them
The best!! Best drumming, a creative and musically amazing composition of drum part! The Top Of The World album was absolutely MASTERPIECE because of your drumming and rhythmic contribution.

The Maestro, the world’s most talented and gifted drummer ever! ❤
He looks like he is having so much fun!!! And love the snare and cymbals work!!! Brilliant!!!
I was just thinking how I wanted a drum cam of this song! You're my favorite drummer!
It’s all awe inspiring, but the section from 02:59, even without guitars and keys, gives me chills. Mike, I’m really going to miss your playing in this band. Awaken The Master indeed 🙌🤘🤘🤘
I'm still sad. I want him back 😢
yes, same with me, MM best for DT, DT music very improved with MM, can't wait for DT new Album with MP
I know, I'm heartbroken over all of it. MM was the guy who really solidified my love for drumming, and he is still my favorite drummer to watch today. As much as I understand all of the nostalgia for DT with Mr. Portnoy, this just all feels wrong.

@@jamesbargar4469 Totally agree with this! 👍
@@jamesbargar4469
I can’t agree more
Holy Shit. I forgot How Freaking Good Mike is. Wow
It seems 'A view from the top the world' will remain as my favourite DT album for a really long time... This is pure class drumming.
I hope you saw them live on this last set of tours. You probably won't see them play any songs off of this album because of Portnoy. If you do, they will certainly be watered down or "Portnoyfied" with his hallmark fills.
Totally agree! As good as it gets...

His core doesn't move an inch the whole time. This dude's got core strength like a BOSS!
Absolutley insane Mike !!!

Yes, it's true😂
Mike, watching your left hand on the snare ....crazy! No bleeding thumb, no hit on the mic....total control! Amazing!

This man its amazing….incredible precise in counting
Wow what a monster behind the drum kit.
legend in the game! sounds really good
I can play whatever song portnoy has recorded with dt. But I always feel that mangini is one step ahead.
Sure🤣🤦
Sure . Mangini part insane
One step?
How the fuck we supposed to play sixteenth notes on one hand at 200bpm, like what
@@notMattGarska yeah he’s the master of high speed single strokes. The blast beats guys are also good at these
Mangini being ambidextrous fucks me up.
Es increíble el nivel de precisión .. Mike es un drum machine ... sin palabras
@mike mangini, i didnt care about dream theater until i watched u try out, i knew then u would be there choice now that your gone im gone as well, not even u can convince me they didnt do u wrong i saw in your eyes wut it ment to u!!!! U put your heart into that band and they throw u in the garbage!!!!!

Couldn't agree more 👍
He has released a solo album recently, check it out
Check out the 1st instrumental album from Into The Great Divide that Mike did. Really good DT influenced stuff.
I couldn't agree more. Well said. FK DT and MP.
DT is not his BAND,
DT is founded by 3 berklee dropouts
Mangini cant do something about it...
its not portnoy who dump him blame petrucci for it
my personal opinion is:
Mangini should take advantage the fame he earned from DT
he should form a BAND that can call his home...
Man, at 4:55 some vicious dynamics here! The great part of the AVFTTOTW album is that it is a big drum solo with some music written around it. This will be be surely a classic more more recognized over the years.
I love the drumming on this song and its even better to see you perform it live, amazing job once again!
Hey, Bro, great respect. I hear Geddy and Alex might be ready to play some Rush songs on tour??!!
Call me simple but I sometimes think I need a click track listening to Mangini eta DT! Amazing consistency.
unique playing, great sound, amazing drummer
There will never be another Rush however I would like to see a Lee, Lifeson, Mangini project.
Mike on drumeo please🙏
Incredible as always, Sr!!
Great stuff! :-)
Can't wait hearing you in your next band & till then I'll check out your new solo album I just heard about 😀
Take care!
Que manera de tocar la batería, increible......!!!
im gonna miss mike in the band, he brought so much variety
Mike Mangini, espero que apareça um guitarrista, um baixista, um tecladista e um vocalista com qualidades semelhantes as suas, para voces criarem uma das melhores bandas de progmetal de todos os tempos. 🙏
Incredible master🥁👍🔥
Welcome to the family nowwwww geeetttt outttt!!!!
Du bist für mich das Maß der Dinge, wenn es um Schlagzeuger geht, thanks 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nice description of the video 👍👍 and super playing ✌️🤘🤘
i love it when the white lights follow the kick beat...
At its finest .Mr.Mangini .
Not that big of a dream theatre fan or Portnoy. But I like this guy. Killer. Would love to hear him play Meshuggah.
Gak usah di ragukan lagi ini Professor bos ❤😂
Ini tugas metronomenya ngikutin mike mangini 😂
He is Chuck Norris of drum universe
great drummer Mike
Nice to hear playing drum solo with Metronome.🤘😊
I wish You to see playing with RUSH🌞🙏
The master awoken 😅
i'm actually wondering how you make a generated click track so helpful
What are your thoughts on the way it handled 07:17 to like 7:26?
Can't wait for him to put his own group together.
Amazing man!
O. ..my......damnation he's incredible
Absolutely mental.
Mike's meter is on a completely different level. Heis the Chuck Norris of Time.
Dios mío esto es increíble!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Best, beast, booster
Only Dream Theater fans would complain about having MM in the band. Well I say MM was too good for Dream Theater. So was Thomas Lang.
Mangini is who Portnoy calls when he has a drum-related question
Perhaps if the drum-related question was how to make their music even more dull
@@imjonny001 The music got dull because Pornoy left, not because Mangini joined.
The music became dull cause Petrucci made it in virtual machine and MM was like Jason in Metallica, let that sink in.
@@ProjectVastness I didn’t know that… a dramatic turn of events is a hell of an album.
@@vjPulp The astonishing is a bit boring because its too "conceptual" on telling a full movie story, its too ambitious. Even DT fans didnt get ir right. It was the least "metal" album. Very soft on too many ocasions, but.. the other albums are fukin great dude.

You are The Master 🙏🏻🙇🏻
Amazing Prof...keep spirit...
Your left hand... like to talk to your drum kid...waaaawwww bravo...
Tem mais conteúdo nesse vídeo do que em qualquer podcast, sobre qualquer coisa!
I like this drummer..
The metronome: “I’m built different (incorrectly)”
When I read people's comments that Rush should tour with Dave Grohl, first I laugh a little, then I think of Mike Mangini.
Майк! Ты маг и волшебник! Ты из другой планеты!
01:58 Has to be the coolest blast beats I've ever seen, can you PLEASE explain what's happening in that second half ?! 🤯
Double stroke drag with the left? or am I crazy lol
Mike u are insane.. Absolute insane Drumming with the AI Click!
Mike Portnoy make a Mistake when he left DT in 2010... DT make a Mistake when he kicked u out in 2023. Sry iam a german, for my bad english.
But u create a special Dream Theater 13 Years along, that Mike Portnoy cant fill it, never. I love you both.. but you are technical a high level on top.
I hope u create great Music with your new Band. WE ALL NEVER,,,, NEVER forget you in every Music Corner! YOU ARE GREAT! GOD BLESS YOU !!
I wish you and Kiko Loureiro could make a project together and explore together the whole new level of creativity
