Mike Mangini (Dream Theater) Official OPENING DRUM ROLL at 247Drums

What a privilege to have the INCREDIBLE Mike Mangini to be there for our official opening of the newest Showroom in Winchester MA----powered by Zildjian and 247drums---

[@MelkMan7]

The snare sounds like the one used in St. Anger XD

[@jamesspooner1.2.76]

yeah it does. i really didnt like the snare in St. Anger!

[@Vivus_offic]

@@jamesspooner1.2.76pretty sure no one does

[@alexanderqbe]

​@@Vivus_offic 1. I do 2. Don't tend to be sure for everyone

[@jd0879]

@@jamesspooner1.2.76That’s not a hot take

[@jasonren666]

somebody answer that snare cuz its ringing

[@rongriguts9429]

Wow people. "He's no Buddy, He's no Portnoy, he's no Peart". No Kidding!! It's Mike Mangini never having claimed to be or play like anybody but, Mike Mangini. As a few of the others have said, if you can prove why he's "terrible", "talentless", "a hack", and if you're better than he is.... please... humor us and show us evidence in video form. If you haters are musicians, true musicians, you wouldn't be saying any of this nonsense rather be praising another one of the drumming greats that we're all blessed to look up to and aspire to be....great in our own regards.

[@alexvar93]

Without a doubt the most annoying comments ever are bound to be found around here... "He has no feel" "He has no groove" "Hes too mechanical" Good lord it is ridiculous.

[@evanschippers7447]

+Alex I don't even know where people get off to be honest, he's got a lot of groove. He's humble, he has chops, he's got taste, and he's a great guy. If someone were to argue the "no groove" opinion on someone like Thomas Lang, sure I get that but Mike? No

[@yolospecialist533]

His polyrhtym blew my mind

[@krenwregget7667]

Mike Mangini is easily in the "world's best" category and anyone who says otherwise has NO IDEA what they are talking about.

[@asabovesobelow2299]

Nobody is like Mangini. His playing goes beyond understanding

[@yunusblood]

like a helicopter

[@michaelandcolinspop]

And it's times like these that MM endears himself to fans. I'm not a Dream Theater fan, but I've listened to enough of his music and watched more than enough of his lessons to know that he's a rare talent and a genuinely good guy.

[@jamesspooner1.2.76]

100% agree

[@apieceofdirt4681]

Mike is one of the nicest guys in rock

[@high1990five]

mike have a metronome in his left foot

[@marinhrabric6162]

Such a steady, consistent speed up. Crazy Mangini

[@usaearthling]

Mike Mangini in your store, at grand opening, it doesn't get any better than this. Awesome. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the invite.

[@thisistides97]

Personally I'm just impressed by the fact that when he got such a high speed he was critical of it and tried to do it better.

[@247drums]

first OFF - thanks to ALL for watching the VIDEO...i just would like to SAY that I PERSONALLY asked MIKE to play a DRUM ROLL because it was a GRAND OPENING and a DRUM ROLL to CELEBRATE is a GREAT THING. We all value Mike in the first place for HIS AMAZING AND UNIQUE MUSICALITY! i have had the priviledge to have him as a colleague at Berklee College...He Inspired so many (Students and Faculty alike)....As far as the SOUND: it was not the snare but the camera quality that affected the VIDEO.THANKS

[@tcaw8813]

Usually not a fan of his playing, but when he plays stuff that's simpler like a single stroke roll you can't deny his skill, those speeds are incredible, and I find it almost meditative the way he's playing.

[@hotlanta35]

A ultra fast single stroke roll is the most difficult technique

[@chopzmasta07]

Mike Manginiis such a cool guy! Great drummer. One of my biggest influences on my drumming and speed drumming.

[@mrgaiusbonus]

he's a real talent, love this kind of music

[@RandyHanley]

He's literally one of the nicest people I've ever met.

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

:) HUGE smile! Thank you so much for sending me this vid: I love watching Mike play! And I wish you much success. :)

[@OfficialWildfires]

Love Mike! Amazing drummer & an awesome human being.

[@carlosdrums97]

Awesome skills!! 😎🥁

[@terrydonegan1622]

Mike is the fastest and a great creative drummer aswell as a really nice guy

[@GPBAMB]

Shades of 5th Grade in the School Street elementary gym in Waltham, MA first hearing Walter Tokarczyk doing the same routine, which inspired me to take up the drums. After a while I realized I was not musically inclined, but now at 60 play the bagpipes. I don’t know Mike, but know we had the same drum teacher way back in the day.

[@Grooversity]

CONGRATSSSSS! Mike is a great guy with a beautiful soul. Im so happy that you could have him be part of event! =] Grooversity Team

[@user-vf4og3xv8w]

Incredible!!!

[@cleipotzful]

my favourite drummer! would love to meet him in person!

[@Godthissucksss]

What the fuck is that snare

[@michaelandcolinspop]

Looks like a Pearl Sensitone steel, but I could be wrong. It could've benefitted in this setting with a pad of Moon Gel or a ResoRing to take out some overtones. I'm sure it would sound killer on a set, though.

[@jeroenvermunt862]

In fact the first roll was a sublime example of dividing the basic tempo (kept with his left foot) into all kinds of metrum increasing the pace. In the second one he just pushed the gaspedal.

[@eennymo]

WOW!!! Good job, Mike! He is such a nice guy, too!

[@blapis89]

easy to notice hes a match grip player, cuz he can keep up the right hand with his trad. grip, if u look closely, at high speed his right hand converts to finger but the left one has got the fingers too weak and its all radius rotation, so hes unable to go faster and builds tension as he said. Anyway hell of a player, and a wonderful guy wish him the best

[@krazydruma1]

like a locomotive ....from start to finish......smooth !

[@tymanngruter1808]

And that with 3 hands...... unbelieveble! 🎯

[@tmandrews1]

Not only is he incredible musician. what a nice man

[@jhd1230]

Crazy!! He is so relaxed and tension free, beauty hair to boot.

[@Rickles]

Mangini has more talent than he can use.

[@nessmalone]

that was AWESOME!!!

[@kapildrums]

only love for mike...also,from the brief camera travel,the store looks really cool...!

[@muuriciodegollada3870]

One of the best ever Mike

[@SailorBarsoom]

YIKES! Well, I gotta give that a thumb up. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it.

[@CreateToInitiate]

Personally, I'm neither a Rock, Metal or Death core/Blast beat fan, but holy HELL that was quick!

[@ZackMester]

??? Mike is one of the most accomplished drummers/percussionists to date!

[@therealdavidmac]

Love this man

[@user-yb5tq7sc7x]

Sound is AMAZING W/out it we would B .

This- just made my day

Agree with you, Yoda does!

[@jimpalmer4061]

Crazy Mike

[@monstersaint]

I like Mike.

[@Matdav4]

Cool!!!

[@XXXCRSPL]

Real drummers don't talk shit about other drummers.. They appreciate each others talents

[@LukeSnyderMusic]

Haha, that first time was so sloppy when he went faster, it's great! 1:30 "Sticks are hitting my jacket..." I love seeing the humanity and fun-ness of the usually mechanically perfect Mangini.

[@don4476]

Yep. That's pretty good.

[@waterbottle2963]

The snare sounds like CustomGrow420

[@henrikpersson8741]

He's the best! 👍💯

I think it is so cool

[@DRUMTOY2002]

Good one!!!

[@TuttoHobby]

good video!! Compliments!

[@lost619]

Impressive!

[@JoaoMarcos-dd3bb]

Wow!!

[@misfit2022]

You can’t argue with technique and you don’t often see it in drummers who have their roots in thrash drumming. That’s a reference to when he was a member of Annihilator.

[@mhelsantos1981]

Super Human 🥁🥁🥁

[@mamlasu]

That is still very cool, dude!

[@COGICSticks]

I love that snare NOW GIVE IT HERE lol!!

[@tatusko]

BUddy Rich's accelerando is magical and will never be duplicated. Then there's thomas Lang's creative take on it incorporating the bass drums.

[@ImKidCuddy]

Crazy

[@waldo891]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CPTFiXtion]

So even it sounded sampled

[@m4gunner25]

agreed!

[@renegademax]

I wonder if the audience realize how amazing his control is?

[@DancingSpiderman]

Wayne's World ! Wayne's World ! Party Time ! Excellent ! woo-woo-woo-woo I enjoyed how the camera panned back to the lovely girl in the purple blouse.

[@Phil81.]

He is the best person drummer in the world!

[@lorindamikaela]

well said & very true.

[@JasonLeeDrums]

That's Quick ! Cool...

[@aloni75]

An artist

[@chuckhervey]

That iz CRRRRAAAAAZZZZZY!!!!!!!!!!

[@christianimations7853]

I was expecting a Buzz Roll. But that was better!

[@mikeoshea12]

mike mangini is a pretty cool dude

[@shaunrathbun6649]

Im using American grip but I can see the an feel the allure of traditional grip mr mangini..if your out there..if your listening..im that one student..that one individual that a band can and will be built on...I have it in my veins..I just didn't find it till now..im going to do what no other drummer has done in history and im going to create a world renowned rock band based on a drummer thats 40 years old...im inviting you to be a part of it..up to you..im going to do it no matter what..but I'd like you personally to be my teacher..thats it..

[@romancecak1036]

❤❤❤

[@musicartfull]

what's the caliber???

[@VJDTEasymoreGuitar]

Juelaaaaaa

[@jakethepitador2558]

The video sound is muffled, you have to play it at full volume with earphones.

[@TwippyTwilight]

One can only go on what one advertises about themselves in a public forum.

[@MrPERPS]

proper technique always sounds good

[@NeCtRiCkS]

He's playing fast because he held (does he still hold it?) Guinness' record as the fastest drummer. And as our friend @pepparmostheelder said, he's the drummer of Dream Theater. Pretty big and famous band.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

Serious dude.

[@arothmanmusic]

I will never have stick control anywhere approaching this level.

[@pepparmostheelder]

He is the drummer of "Dream theater" and if you dont know who they are I suggest you look them up. They are pretty damn famous so you should have heard of them if you listen to rock or metal music. Someone asked him to play fast in the crowd it wasnt something he choose to do to show off.

[@thureintun1687]

I wonder can drummers be able of utilize the stick in all ways for an hr without moving the feet?

[@firechilde2341]

I wish our drummer could just play a snare and impress people. He can go twice as fast and still people would be like, "Is that all?"

[@EXHellfire]

different audience then

[@jadeone]

if he could go twice as fast as mangini i think he’d get some attention

[@Nmdixon-cu7vm]

Mike at one time held the world record for fastest single strokes, so I think your claim is false.

[@jadeone]

@@Nmdixon-cu7vm yeah it would sound like an A10 if someone could double Mangini...

[@mohddalibinzali1165]

@@Nmdixon-cu7vm seriously ? How about buddy rich and dick? Mangini is the sweet guy but in single stroke he non.

[@lukedavis7455]

However, where Buddy succeeds where Mangini has yet to, is efficiency of technique. This video is a perfect demonstration because as Mike gets into the quicker tempos, his arms tense up and you can see him physically struggling to maintain the speed. Buddy, because of his more focus on what we call Moeller technique, didn't have this problem. They're both great, but Buddy's technique at high speeds is better able to sustain. Tension is always the enemy of controlled speed...always.

[@metalskilt]

but dude... he's showing a drumset with two bassdrums on his profile. he must be the awesomest drumrolling beast on earth!

[@RealDiaz]

insane

[@mefistofeles666111]

Sehr geil, super Trommler! ;-)

[@prodrummerbill]

You have much to learn, young one.

[@faustodorsi]

Some machine :D

[@pauliboy1031]

You have become the Troll of this year! Congrats!
