[@marcoaguillon4926]

Mangini is a great drummer, but also, he is a great mate and man. He is always so humble and close to the fans. He expels joy, passion and love for what he does. A drum monster! Technique, feeling, speed and versatility :) Really, one of the best drummers I´ve ever seen, even before joining DT, he has been always an inspiration. MANGINI RULES!

[@KirilVarbanov]

It's the sheer joy of what he really does is what matters in the end. His enthusiasm is contagious. Way to go, Mike.

[@jeremyhassell7911]

Well said Marco!!

[@dracdrum]

4:58 "Holy Shit" lol

[@brunofelixmusic]

The album is: 'Annihilator - All For You (2004)', is the second album featuring Mike Mangini on the drums.

[@billelhafsaoui5788]

I like this guy , he still has that child excitement ,, he's great

[@G1337]

Mangini never seems to express having this much fun playing in a concert setting. He should! The crowd would love it.

[@AchmadGhiffari]

The crowd can't see his face

[@Dahn.Baern.]

@@AchmadGhiffari or his body. All they see is a shadowy figure flailing around behind a brightly lit wall of drums

[@RandyHanley]

13:55 - WTF. Insanity. Mike is amazing.

[@motherfuckerz]

No.1 In the world

[@beetlejews]

One of the greatest vids on mangini he is hilarious

[@manifestgtr]

That old truck of Mike’s was hilarious. Back when I was at Berklee, he pulled up next to me as I was leaving, leaned over to the passenger side window and said “dude, ahh you leavin? I’m runnin late for a lesson!” It was so fucking funny...his truck looked like an old hippy van meets Silence of the Lambs. “Duuude, I’m wicked crippled over heah...can you help me get this couch into the trunk?”

[@reactions4u438]

and he said that the dt15 drumming is the most unrelenting hes played since annihilator ..damn, after seeing this im excitedddd

[@nickpaternostro2900]

Mike is the textbook definition of a New England citizen.

[@GeoffGattsDrums]

This is so sweet. Even when he's playing something simple, I'm still captivated!

[@MATTlovesDRUMS]

Mike Mangini is an amazing drummer.....period. I hear all this Mike Portnoy shit everywhere, and to be honest, Mike Portnoy left Dream Theater because he wanted to try new things and Mangini wanted to be his replacement. Both are amazing drummers in their own ways. Everyone, take a chill pill!

[@tbnterprises]

Exactly! If Mike Portnoy wanted to stay in DT, then he should have. You can't expect other people to put their lives and careers on hold because you want to do something different. Mangini is phenomenal, I definitely prefer his playing with Annihilator.... Jeff Waters is one of my favorite guitar players and song writers, so that goes without saying. Plus, I really like what Portnoy is doing in The Winery Dogs.

[@jlarsena]

Most people don't know Mike Portnoy requested Mangini. John Petrucci has also known Mangini for a long time. Afterall he is a professor at Berklee where Dream Theater was formed. I don't understand the arguments, they're both awesome. I really miss Mike Mangini in Annihilator though, my favorite band.

[@pascalschulz5894]

jlarsena And actually Mike and Mike are good friends

[@MATTlovesDRUMS]

Portnoy did not request Mangini. Petrucci said that Mangini came on stage and did a drum battle/solo with Portnoy and the rest of DT was like "Who is this guy? He's awesome!". And also Mangini was the first name that came to all their minds when they were thinking of Portnoy's replacement

[@flameguitarcody]

***** is there any video of this? because the portnoy requesting mangini is what I've always heard and mangini even kinda hints at that being the case in a video i seen about him n dt a while back though nothing was 100% said regardless as everyone has said both are great.

[@Thedecimator13]

He rolls faster with one hand than most with two hands, freaking speed demon.

[@mario.pantic]

Mike = The Drum Machine.

[@DanielCosta-hh6ur]

Como todo fã, estou feliz pela volta do Portnoy ao DT, mas ao mesmo tempo triste pelo Mangini. Pensando "E agora, onde vou poder ver esse cara tocar?"... E esse vídeo aparece na sugestão do YT pra mim..rs Espero que se lance em muitos projetos fodas, por que ele é muito foda! Confesso que vou sentir sua falta no DT, mas aconteceu o que tinha que acontecer... Vida que segue.

[@RobGravelle]

When I was recording KNIGHTFALL with Waters in 2007 he was saying how he never thought of video taping shows and recording in the early days, not thinking that it might be valuable later! In the 2000s he started documenting more.

[@Hardysamnin]

"Holyyyy shiiiit" Indeed

[@eirikvanderodden8216]

11:14 everyone. I'm gonna have my wedding dance to this song.

[@toruncustomer980]

an excellent professional drummer who can play with his senses! Mr. Mangini.

[@Askhatus]

What a fat and solid sound! And hellyeah, Jeff is the king of riffs!

[@babywithacrowbar]

This guy is such a legend

[@charlesasmrperu2216]

I love Mike Mangini, I love Annihilator!!!

[@okalliminn]

What a beautiful artist you are Mike. Left/right hand leading is simply astounding! Thanks for the video.

[@joannedouglass5947]

i could watch this recording session all day O_O ..Mangini.. holy pooh!

[@Vitamin_Drummer]

Amazing 🤩

[@michaelmiktus7028]

Waters and Mangini, perfect pairing

[@jeffsadowski7759]

IMO...The two best snare drum sounds I've EVER heard...Bonzo and The One (this video version) good going Mike...Nice job here. GREAT material.

[@jlucasound]

2003? Wow. Damn you are young.

[@manusia3533]

Amazing.. Drumers no 1

[@spectrecuLLar]

just another day with mangini Mike .. ROCKIN' THE DAY \m/

[@Dilly137]

1:23 "whoa that feels good mate" LMAO

[@PaBuzz1]

Great video!

[@MusicJamin330]

Wish Mike would've stayed with Annihilator. He was such a good fit, playing and personality wise.

[@sadol11]

Mangini the machine, unreal!!!

[@pat7373]

thx for this

[@TheDrummerKick2]

Feel, technique, versatility, time/pocket feel to name a few

[@benjaminmorgan6208]

[@wildaim2936]

11.23 make me goosebump

[@totedrummer]

[@JohnnyBlade12]

[@jlucasound]

[@leejames8849]

[@fredschaves]

[@donutdrummer2822]

Great scott !

[@HastOsth]

I forgot how awsome Annihilator was! Mangini ofc is a freakin beast! Of to my old cd player and cd stack to get some rockin done!

[@seanmcgowan4423]

and thats the amazing Jeff Waters with him recording to his tracks! (Annihilator)!!

[@Cornishtravelvlogs]

Good work Mike

[@jlucasound]

I do remember the video where Mike broke the single stroke speed record some years ago. What, it was over 1000 strokes in one minute. World record.

[@TheSwanepoelmj]

What a machine!

[@lucastrobarbosa]

Gosh, he is fast as hell. And very creative actually. Different of most of the people opnion over here.

[@esbtransformers]

Tempo and timing is perfect.

[@shun_msk]

Сплошное удовольствие вернуться через 17 лет и наблюдать это

[@kevinclose9152]

Now THAT I can agree with! The total " Been doin this 4ever" casual sit down and paradiddle your face off....with ease!!! These guys inspire those who have the desire, ya know?

[@suechick22]

Love Hi Mike

[@pollaris18]

Mangini es una BESTIA! \m/

[@CapnnKrunch3]

Massachusetts represent

[@screamengine]

He's a fukkin machine! Brutal, with a smile. He loves you, Jeff. No question. You bring out the awesome in him.

[@TheDrummerKick2]

Technique and versatility and time are objective.

[@petemininni6002]

I'm EXHAUSTED!

[@jardelsilveiraborges8591]

O álbum " Set The World on fire" foi um álbum espetacular onde mangini participou com o grande vocalista Aron Handal.

[@Lu-ql]

12:05 "mIkE MaNgInI hAS nO FeEl" If you're still one of those people who say that bs, you have no idea of what you're talking about. Mangini is a complete musician.

[@zotacw]

To mutch awesomeness for my computer to handle!

[@juhsam2795]

This Sound is fucking awesome, too

[@HOLLOWOXDT1]

Seriously he should be that way with DT , amazing drummer

[@blackcitadel37]

+HOLLOWOXDT1 man, now he is 12 years older. give him a break. and i really don't think all that speed would fit well in DT songs imo. maybe dragonforce or fleshgod apocalypse (although they already have their own aliens in their drums)

[@HOLLOWOXDT1]

i dont mean by that way speed but more Drum Tone or should i say like mangini toooooooooooone !!

[@juankarlos1658]

He is beast

[@fieldoheraldo5677]

THE SICKEST

[@TheAbsorbant]

He was a way better match for Annihilator than for Dream Theater. Do you have video of him recording for "Set the World On Fire", Jeff?

[@danlc95]

Best DT ever sounded was with Mangini too.

[@juansjaramillo]

mike es el jodido amo¡¡¡

[@BenMichalowicz]

It's "All For You". I searched "Weapon X" up on KZbin, and the picture was the "All For You" Album Cover

[@stephenm.1988]

1:06 this is when he started his signature drum kit that the toms are mirrored and the cymbals are high

[@robertreedy414]

Effin' fast twitch muscles...holy presto Batman. Otherworldly, and sweetheart to boot. Inspiring Mike

[@robertreedy414]

Just hafta tune up my kick now...😊

[@trendmassacre8423]

The song All For You has such an Alice In Chains feel to it. The album is still really good, even though it's all over the place.

[@greenwake69]

holy shitttttttttttt

[@victoroliveira9224]

the one music from all for you album :)

[@mondongoflores3870]

U re right, IMO and respect DT auditions, Marco was the fking best in every part. He is a real complete musician, he can read piano, he can play piano, guitar, bass guitar, with a decent level. And obviously with a monster level on Drums.

[@beepyou34]

Yes it can.

[@rc2maxx]

Holy Shit

[@Glitch-nr9ct]

I have no idea how anyone moves their hands and feet that fast.

[@enboomer]

"Bled" of off the "All for you" album by Annihilator

[@drumrocka]

Precision

[@arrackattack]

84 snare drums, and he managed to take the worst one to put on The Last Dream Theater record ..

[@VinnyG_Music]

That was the mixers fault. Not the snare drums

[@loudrimshot]

totally agree. horrible sound on the snare........

[@arrackattack]

***** I was trolling a bit, obviously the pearl reference snares are amazing (just listen to the previous album ADTOE, the snare is amazing), but i would not only blame the sound engineer, the snare on the last album sounds goofy because it was tuned like shit ...

[@loudrimshot]

it's just so weird. Harmonically, the snare blends so much with the pitches and range of the toms. It falls so far back in the mix. Every engineer and producer I know is aware of this kind of stuff. It must have been what Mangini wanted.

[@dracdrum]

In some songs it wasn't so bad, though others it sounded like they were artificially made a lower note (auto tuned sounding).

[@RekreaturA]

Well if you're going by this video he was 10 years younger.

[@marcellosdmf]

Toca muito!!! Sou muito fã do Portnoy... Mas o Mangini é muito f... tbm

[@susrev88]

-...it's mike mangini! -howdy (dat look). we're off to the stoodyo. -SSCHtudio. -yip. funny as hell

[@totedrummer]
