Mike is an extremely talented, nice guy. Simply watching his candid reaction when he was chosen as the drummer for Dream Theater says it all.
I agree that Mike is a nice humble talented guy,but this whole audition was all staged. Just go listen to some of Derek Roddy's interviews about it.
@@MadWinter889 as well as Marco's
Chosen because no other choice
@@MadWinter889 Thomas Lang's was probably the most damning of them all
I love the Octabans at the top~!
Mike is the man. I went to a clinic of his when he came to Portland, Maine a while back. Super laid back and a great teacher.
He is definitely the man!
5:12. First solo.
7:02. Second Solo
9:10. Third solo.
13:34. 4th solo
17:07. 5th solo.
18:12 🔥
You could set your watch by this guy, solid groove Mike. A legend of our time.
I see you guys busted out Mike's compact kit for the demo.
I didn’t know I needed this crossover till now
Tony the audio guy is the man. Not only did he do a great job with this, but also is my freakin hero for changing the perspective to match the camera angle.
Thank you Dave! 🤘

Drum center of Portsmouth just killing the game right now.
Definitely one of the best drum shops out there! I bought a Sabian prototype ride there a couple of years ago and everything was a 10 out of 10... great customer service, amazing facility, so many cool items in stock, a drum museum room... plus all of the great videos they put out. A+ place!
he's got more cymbals then some music stores here in Australia.
😂😂😂
Facts. 💯🇦🇺😂
@Steven Pounsett Yet DT chose Mike, a former world record holder, over Thomas (and Marco Minnemann, and Aquiles Priester, and Virgil Donati). Thomas is an amazing drummer. So is Mike. To suggest either is overrated comes across as petulant and childish.
@Steven Pounsett "Speed means nothing in a prog metal band"
A strange assertion in and of itself. While much prog metal may not be played at high tempo there are still times when a drummer playing a nice comfortable 16th pattern at e.g. 150 BPM has to double up to 32nds. That's equivelant to playing the same 16ths at 300 BPM. And I'm pretty sure Mike got the DT gig based on more than speed.
As a drummer myself I have watched and studied drummers since I was a teenager back in the early 1980s, and I have been doing the same on UA-cam since it first came into existence in 2006. I've already seen probably every video of Thomas Lang in public existence. I have already made the point that he is an amazing drummer, and without a doubt one of my personal favourites. I have seen him do things that I have not seen any other drummer do. However, the very same applies to Mike Mangini who I consider to be in the same bracket of top-notch drummers along with so many others I would struggle to name them all right now. There are some who I consider to be on an even higher level, e.g. Buddy Rich, Dave Weckl, Terry Bozzio, Ramon Montagner, and a few others. I have also seen others, e.g. Hellhammer from Mayhem, Riccardo Merlini, do things that I have not seen any other drummer do. Does that mean that I think they are better? No, they're just different.
You are entitled to your opinion that Thomas Lang is better than Mike Mangini. My opinion is that there's no point in comparing apples and oranges, they're both different and both equally amazing in their own unique ways.
@Steven Pounsett Seen it before. Seen Mike playing similar stuff countless times. You would too if you bothered to search. But fine, have it your way. Thomas is the better drummer.
I think Tony did a fantastic job with the limited amount of mics he had & their placement. Right when the video started & I heard the drums, my first thought was, “Wow, those drums sound really good!”
Thanks so much Susan!!
I concur
The mic mix is amazing! I thought the same thing.
@@AlbertMoyerJr thank you for the kind words!
@@tinterlande You are welcome Tony.
Mike is pretty good, he should be in a band.
Yeah, I mean... he is pretty good...
naaah, if he would be a real pro, he could do all that with a 5 piece kit...... :)
Yeah sure. I don't think he would fit in a prog rock/metal group though...
Yeah, he should be. If only there was a way we could let him know.
lol for real!
Was lucky enough to attend one of Mike's clinics here in New Zealand a few years back.
It was certainly a great clinic totally enjoyed it, and Mike's not only a awesome drummer/musician, he's a down to earth great guy.
Thank you Portsmouth for bringing this to us all
Cheers.
I took a "master class" with him years back at Cascio in New Berlin, WI USA. Mike is a gem. And to be clear, he was the only true master in the room. 👍
Tony deserve a raise, the sound of the drums is out of this world!
Haha! Thank you!
This video is proof that less is more, even if you have "more". Its also a testament to just how good a drum kit sounds as a kit if its in a halfway decent, spacious room.
I got the chance to check out the shop and see his kit in person and sat behind it. So cool! Massive store and the staff was awesome. 🤘🤘🤘
Mike said they could talk about drumming for 7 hours, that's something I could def watch for 7 hours, what a legend.
Do listen to this video with headphones, that drum sound is on another planet!!
Mike is definitely one of the most talented musician in action, humble guy and with a unique willingness to talk about drumming. Nice interview!!
Aside from his talent, his low key, friendly demeanor has always been my favorite part of mangini.
This is outstanding! Thanks Mike, Shane, and all of DCP! Another trip is needed!
He is amazing 👏
Mangini is a legend! Period!
Mike ADTOE drum set up just amazing. Love this drum set
Since about 2000/2001 Mike has been a inspiration and role model for me on how to conduct myself publicly, with musicians and fans. As well as being a continually studying drummer, to try and play as well as I possibly can.
He was so SO kind and engaging.
He is a wonderful choice to carry Portnoy's legendary legacy with one of the greatest musical acts of our time. I don't use Pearl, but they sound incredible - especially here!
if only his drums sounded this good on the DT albums.... Good job micing and mixing guys... damnn!
Thanks! What a compliment!
He does the best classes ever, totally worth it. It’s impressive how much you can learn with Mike in one zoom class 👌🏼😊 and great interview!
BEST. VID. EVER!
Thanks for posting and thanks Mike for being incredible as always!
Absolute monster. Literally a drum genius. Thanks for showcasing him!
And the best part of this whole video is that mike sat down and played and didn't "show off" or do anything super flashy. He just "farted around" and it was still on a level most working drummers can't touch. AND he's humble.
Idk what’s more amazing this drum set or the mic set up to hear it all. Amazing.
I worked with former Annihilator lead singer Coburn Pharr 20 years ago, and he told me about his time working with Mike, and he gave me some demos of songs they had put together for a side project called “Kindred”. It was great sounding stuff, and I tried to get some label interest for it (this was 6 or 7 years after they had recorded it), but couldn’t get anything going. I have never put it online, but it might be out there somewhere. I first saw Mike play with Gary Cherone’s band “Tribe of Judah” at a little bar between a laundromat and a pizza joint in Manchester NH, but they played the room like it was Wembley Stadium! Fantastic showmen!
THIS.IS.AMAZING. By far my favorite vid of yours!!!
Wow, thank you David!
Whatever the sound guy is earning, double it. Great work.
I agree 😉 thank you!
three of my favorite things...Mike Mangini, Pearl, and Drum Center of Portsmouth! Thanks for sharing the drum set. Sounds great!
Absolutely awesome video guys. Thanks so much for this. I love Mike and DT. This was a fascinating insight. And those drums sound KILLER.
Love Pearl Drums
How cool is that !
I enjoy listening to Mike . Its like he has so much information to give and not enough time to say it .
And what a beast of a drum kit !
I'd be happy with half of his kit .
Well done Shane , Mike and Pearl for doing this .
Great vid thanks 👍
Mike mangini's drum sponsor: "mike how much drums do you need?"
Mike:"yes"
THE WAY MIKE MANGINI SAYS, "..BLANKET OF MAHHHOWGANY!" @6:53 LOLOL
i noticed the same thing hahaha
the face that he makes is funny
@@pethercosta9216 It's like an evil face you make to the best evil plan to date 😂😂😂
@@Calj_Music89 kkkkkkkkkk
That kit is a BEAST!
I wish all musicians were as happy as Mike. I've seen him with DT 3 times now and he's always smiling
One of my biggest heroes for sure. Been jamming Distance Over Time regularly since it came out and I'm itching to hear the new album!
Insanely gifted drummer! That much talent you need a kit like that.
I always love how you guys don't mess with the sound and don't go for post-production glitter, so we can all hear the ACTUAL sound of the drums. Thank you for this, it feels like I'm in the room. Btw these sound spot on, incredible drums.
Thanks for noticing! That is our goal!
Phenomenal musician. His kit set-ups have been amazing!
A- friggin- Mazing. Way to go Shane - your sincerity near the end is really cool. Tony's professionalism is the middle is what makes DCP so spectacular. Mike of course is lucky that he can appear with you. Happy Anniversary Pearl Drums.

DCP delivers again! Well done! I have to make the pilgrimage from Baltimore to NH soon!
What an amazing video guys! Great, great job - I enjoyed every second. Fantastic micing, the sound quality was fantastic and really captured the beauty of the drums. And Mike, you are so nice and humble, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep up the great work, you're an exceptional drummer and a true inspiration to us musicians out here!
mike for president!!!! hahahahaha weell thanxs master for all support god bless at drum center for the opportunity and god bless all drummers in the world. kisses from caracas venezuela!!!!! cheers!!!! VIVA EL HARD ROCK!
Wow..this is so super awesome..love it! Mike Mangini the Master..
So much musicality and thoughtfulness to Mike's playing. So good.
I love the balance and flow of that kit!
I was one of the people at the Cambridge music complex that took lessons from Mike,I hounded him relentlessly ,till I got a knock on my door,talk about an honor!!! It would have been a huge loss if the world didn't get to see this genius play, congrats my friend!!!!!!!!
Back when he was playing with Rick Berlin???
DCP never fails to amaze with such great videos! Kudos to Tony for great microphone work, the kit, especially the snare, sounded fabulous. Mike Mangini seems like a nice guy besides being one hell of a player. I have to admit, when I first saw a kit with that many drums I couldn't help but think what Buddy Rich would say if he saw it.
damn! the mix on these drums is insanely incredible!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I love this drumset and I love Mangini, he is a genious
This is the fourth or fifth time watching this video. Such a good interview. Mike is a genuine and approachable guy - of one truly great personalities in music.
This kit is so amazing. The drums sound so f'ing good!
Love how symmetrical his kit is, I’ve always like non traditional set ups, I often re arrange my set up, brings out different inspiration
very good moment thanks so lot!
I just love this!
Great stuff, guys! Thanks for sharing.
Incredible Eargasm thanks!!
Bought my Sonor Prolite kit from your guys, great service! Awesome interview and the kit sounds NUTZ!! 😆👊🏼 Amazing drummer and great video
Mike best !!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥁
Sounds great! I love the smaller tom sounds.
I see those with the whole "Why does he need a big kit?" He plays in a band where the previous drummer had a big kit and things like octobans and a gong drum. He has to have equipment that allows him to play the band's vast catalog, and you can't duplicate all those sounds on a small kit. Yes, Buddy Rich was an undeniable talent on just a smaller kit, but Neil Peart was equally talented on a large drum kit.
Neil was never equal to buddy (no one was)
@@VisualVideoCreation I think Neil would definitely agree with this as well.
@@VisualVideoCreation But he tried his absolute hardest to get to that bar and in my eyes that gives it to the professor. Very few greats continue to improve themselves for their art.
@Jelly Jam It did play a part - he has said it himself. But he had a big kit before Dream Theater and learned to play effectively.
His kit makes tons of sense. If he could only play well one way like 99.9% of drummers his concept wouldn't be anywhere near as efficient.
@@nocomment3600 I could name 20 drummers who work as hard as Neil Peart probably ever did, and perhaps even harder.
Virgil Donati would easily be at the top of that list by a mile. But Terry Bozzio as well...jesus he invented rudiments that were virtually unplayable just for the challenge! That's just two.
People that are great in their art practice to maintain the ability to be great.
As for the Neil v Buddy thing. As a jazz drummer, Buddy beats Neil. As a rock drummer, Neil obliterates Buddy. As a human being, Neil wins that by such a massive margin.
Mangini is up there with legends.
Mangini 🤯🤯🤯🥁🥁🤘🤘
Amazing interview! 👏👏👏🥁
Love Mike and love pearl!!
Sounds amazing in that snare room! All those snare wires resonating
Mike seems always happy...always smiling...good man.
Love Mike’s playing and demeanor - such a great guy. Also can’t stop eyeing the Stanbridge snare behind his head 👀
Amazing kit but mostly an amazing master at the Drums. Mr Mike Mangini
5:32 the way he makes melodies with the toms 🔥🔥🔥🔥
More than a drummer. A technician!
What a beautiful human being Mangini is.
He has such a lovely personality
That was a very refreshing Video. Killing it. Mike was okay, too.
Those drums sound so good!
Great Job with getting this kit to sound fantastic . less is more ! Mike as all Top Pro drummers plays with an already 'mixed' balanced dynamics! Still have the 'small' version of his demo kit from Huber & Breese in Midnight Fade in 8"10"12"14" hanging 16" Floor 22"aged maple. Gorgeous drums. Mangini is special
Tony, you did a great job on the sound. 👍
Thanks so much!!
sounds awesome
Sick Drum Kit !! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
¡Wow! Very good interview... Mangini is great
Went to DCP last thursday, got to see this kit up close. It was INSANE. Also, just a great store you got. Incredible staff and an amazing museum upstairs
Thanks so much for coming in!!
Great video keep um comin .
Mike is my favourite drummer
Mike Mangini the Master...love this guy!👍
Mike is amazing drummer 👑💪
one of many gods of drums...nice always a treat
Hi Mike, I'm still dreaming of this drum set....... someday I hope I can have this 😍😍😍
Man this was hilarious and a good promo for the shop
My favorite drummer and my favorite drum shop. Best video ever. Shane, again, thanks for all you do for the drumming community.
Thanks so much for watching. It was a blast to make.
@@drumcenternh Is that kit still there?
Best drum kit ever in the world
Every second of this video was fun to watch. Thank you for sharing such a great content. Love from India.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Love this store
I wish I saw this sooner, I would've stopped by to check the kit out!
Mangini is a legend!
Peart is a legend
The best living drummer today Mike Mangini you fucking ROCK....
I've seen youtubers with more mics than the mics on Mangini's Monster lmao. The set sounds really good. I guess for new drummers like me, mic positioning and mixing is more important imo.
It’s not the number of mics, it’s how you use them 😉
this is the cleanest monster kit i’ve ever seen
I love this guy
huge thumbs up tony ,,,,,,,,,drums sounded great .........
