As a former drummer/percussionist/jazz drummer/drum corps quad player I can see how Mike Mangini's drumkit layout makes so much sense for best playability. Playing toms left to right is difficult and prone to accidental drumstick clicks and hitting rims. His central system with multiple hi-hats no longer requires crossover-hands playing and eliminates physical, frustrating problems of playing a drumkit.

[@redsed1565]

Yet he still crosses his sticks😮

[@riproar11]

[@acidbass]

Mike strikes me as someone who has finally realised what it's like to play covers in an exact way. The difference in humour between his audition videos and this is so clear, he seems to be a little bitter towards DT telling him to play as they wanted. He taught expression and improvisation at Berklee and I think DT is the first gig where he had to really restrain his fills and play to the page as such. I'm not sure this is his dream gig as he thought, he regrets giving up Berklee and it's kinda obvious that Portnoy left for a similar reason.
