They should do a tour w 2 drummers

Portnoy is so damn boring

True, Portnoy made no effort to really learn Mangini's parts, and there's something disrespectful about that. On the other hand, I like Portnoys interpretation over Mangini's any day. Whatever he plays, it's always more musical.

Just compare the “Alien”with “The night terror “That is real difference between them .Poor Portnoy good luck to him playing Mangjni’s parts

Of course Mangini does it better..

Are they not using click anymore?

The Alien, A view from the top of the world. Just listen that two songs and you can say the evolution in the band with Mangini. Boundaries were pushed. But I know that the band love Portnoy, he is an wesome drummer and an awesome guy. But DT with Mangini was pure evolution. I liked.

Big fan of the band. I love Portnoy, happy thats is back. But Mangini shows here that in this particular song is superior in everything. Ok Portnoy has an awesome drum sound, energy, presence and its fun to watch him play. But in this one, Mangini shows that he has all. Even in calmer parts he nailed and give it space to the band. I would say that the last two albuns before Portnoy pushed the band into the limit. i think Mangini playing did that.

Mangini 10/10 ; Portnoy 6/10 Fill in mu ngawur, sak karepe dewe; no respect

Mangini better than Portnoy as always...

Portnoy is more groovy

I like both in different parts. I think right before the slow part was coming Mangini was a little too aggressive. Portnoy let the slow part come in nicer.

Volta Mangini!

MP 😅

Portnoy always 💥💥💥💥

The diference is that Mike Portoy sounds like dream theater

wish it was played proper. sounds too jazzy with all the hi hat slurs.all in all a bit lazy sounding and the snare work not even close. sounds like he was doing his own thing which is ok...

Pada lagu ini sy memilih mangini,alesan nya mangini lebih ke rasa dan skil yang sangat tepat

its not about technique.. GROOVE!

I never expected any less from Portnoy to put his style in it

as far as I know they're not playing with a click anymore w Portnoy and it just sounds like theyre having more fun even if he had to change the drums to a degree Edit: I hope as he gets more time to practice these songs the tighter he'll get with them while still having that unique loose (like plays with tempo) while still being tight playing style.

Both drummers dont play each other's songs well lol. Mangini's are too technical and portnoy's require excellent feel and groove

Mike > Mike.

The bottom line is this: Portnoy won’t do anywhere near as good a job of learning Mangini’s parts, as Mangini did learning Portnoy’s. The tables have turned. Mangini put in a ton of time and effort to learn Portnoy’s parts, hit for hit, but you can rest assured Portnoy won’t extend the same courtesy back. As much as I like Portnoy’s drumming (I like them both), he has admitted numerous times in interviews that he doesn’t practice, or try to expand his playing. At any rate, it’s a moot discussion, because Portnoy simply lacks the limb independence and overall coordination to properly learn and play Mangini’s parts. Polyrhythms are not his area of expertise, like Mangini. If I were in Portnoy’s shoes, I’d be shitting bricks at the prospect of trying to learn any of the more complex Mangini tunes. There’s a reason why he specifically chose Barstool Warrior and This Is The Life; it’s because they rank among the easier Mangini tunes.

Portnoy interpretations of Mangini's drums are crap. He changed all details to be convenient to all his cliche drum fills...this shows a lazy interpretation and also disrespectful to the other drummer's composition.

I think this song really illustrates how much feel Mangini really has.. super underappreciated how smooth he is.. even with all of his technical ability. A real masterclass. I also tend to agree that it seems like Portnoy didn't spend as much time as he should have really grinding on this song to get it right or is consciously making a decision (in error IMO) to play it in a way that suits his style. Will be interesting if he continues to make these types of creative decisions with future Mangini era songs that they cover.

Portnoy is just mindlessly drumming through the song without even understanding and considering the drum parts as a composition of its own and an integral part of the song. Mangini sounds so musical.

You know what we DON'T need? Another Mike vs. Mike video. Like ever again. Ever. Again. Ever.

Portnoy all the way

Nothing wrong with both mikes, but labrie svck.

so to settle the score once and for all DeTeeFan lets combine Mike Portnoy and Mangini and create one being: MIKE PORTNOY/MANGINI!!

I think portnoy played the mangini songs how he would've played them if he was on those albums. I personally like it more, but obviously thats just my opinion

I absolutely guarantee that anemometer was in a very protected location, and was not out in the full force of that wind!

we have to admit that mangini is a more technical drummer than MP. They are both super GREAT but at different things

Mike Portnoy sound.. 🔥🔥

Eu acho que cada um tem seu gosto por baterista. Eu mesmo acho MM monstro mas nao combina com o DT parece robótico. Eu prefiro o MP porque ele te. Groove, som de bateria melhor e tem a presença de palco. Na verdade musica é aentimento nao so técnica

I prefer Mike over Mike...

Eu afirmo com toda certeza que o Mike ganhou essa disputa!!

this song definitely fits mangini's style better, though portnoy is my favorite drummer i will be honest. Mangini had much more unconventional parts than portnoy, making it harder for the average listener to grasp, but with portnoy its a lot more graspable as a drummer imo. Love both drummers!

This might be an unpopular opinion, but as a huge fan since 2004, I feel that Portnoy didn’t take the time to truly learn it. Mangini’s songs aren’t just songs; they’re complex studies that require time and years of dedication to master, not just 'rocking' and 'feeling' a song

In my opinion we should also think the opposite way: do you like songs originally played by Portnoy and then performed by Mangini live? Personally I don't like them at all, they are both great drummers with a huge personality

Mangini

This really isn’t a fair comparison considering Mangini wrote the part.

Dramatic rhythm and anomalous beat eloquence is a victory for the mangini!

I was pissed when portnoy came back , mangini didn’t deserve to be treated like that…… but then I remembered how awful James sounds …. And now I think mangini may have actually gotten the better deal with not having to listen to James mumble and sing off key every night !!!

I prefer Portnoy, always touching my heart ❤

Mangini must teaching Portnoy to play His part 😂... DT have the best drummer MM But DT need entertainer and money MP 😂

I think drummers prefer Portnoy because they can actually play his parts

Mangini is another level drummer for Portnoy.
