Mike Mangini Drum Cam - The Alien Live wClick

[@redwinedrummer]

The metronome did a great job keeping up with Mike! This is no easy feat!

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Please. Mike is average compared to someone like Thomas lang.

[@НиколайНикифоров-э4п]

Dream Theater will never be the same without you Mike. The best rock drummer in the world! You will be missed.

Mike "The Alien" Mangini! 🔥🤟🏻🇧🇷

[@sigitventilasi]

Just to setup the click alone might cost me a psychologist session

[@MpetersenTamTD]

One of the tastiest snare rev's I've heard in a long time. Not only is Mike pure beast behind his kit, that FOH engineer get's a +2 for the snare reverb! The predelay is perfection!

[@FALITAS]

You’ve left the bar quite high for MP, we will miss you in DT

[@V4Victory93]

Thanks for adding the click tracks, gives a better idea of the beats and sounds awesome too with the drumming!

[@andresivan6339]

Dear Mike, u are so gifted, cant find the words to describe your awesome talent and habilities, you are really the key to the grammy win, without your incredible and insane input that cant be achieved. Cant wait to see DT again :)

[@j.d.7208]

There's a term in the drumming world used way too much lately when they call someone a master class musician. This is what a master class looks like Phenomenal talent

[@jofvenom]

Mangini = God indeed. This is absolutely mind blowing holy fucking shit

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Nah Thomas lang would roast him

[@intensity.density2208]

I appreciate the difficulty of this masterpiece even more now. Hearing the drums on their own for this track just blew my mind. So much detail. This reminds of his clinics. It's an exhibition, it has all the characteristics of his solos. Amazing

[@NoName-xl1cx]

The time signature of 17 is 100% Mangini's idea. He used it in a lot of his solos.

[@Eltonx38]

[@bassfunkprog6730]

Absolutely amazing, incredible and outstanding job. You are the alien.

[@ThePoorBoy]

Really amazing, Mike. I was able to catch some small details in some of the parts that are truly brilliant. I really believe that your contributions to this song is one of the biggest reasons why it earned the band its first Grammy win!

[@deantalbotdrums]

Hard to believe that this is live. The hardest drum track I have ever heard, played live, not one note out of place. Keep these coming please Mike. Your captive audience is growing! 👍✊🤘🤘✊

[@SonOfWinter]

This makes me appreciate Mike even more!

[@kwony3881]

Perfectly accurate effortless play by the best drummer of the best band in the world. This dumming is really hard for me to copy, i ended up deciding to just listen

[@julianv57]

Mangini = God

[@martinovittori3585]

outstanding. simply outstanding. hope DT will record a dvd from this tour because the new album is amazing, and the title track a true masterpiece and I need to watch in pro shot :)

[@fabiovircae6204]

Mas não haverá álbum com Magini na bateria. Portnoy retornou, isso é bom. Mas fiquei triste com a saída do Mangini. 😢

[@colinburroughs9871]

this was pretty cool to watch.. the constants stream of symmetrical shifts is hypnotizing in it's own way.

[@janivelic2316]

Wow. Just freaking outstanding. I had no idea you often don't have subdivisions per bar. Its all over the bar line. Mind-blowing 🤯

[@MDUBE5999]

I just played it along to the recording and you didn't miss a beat!! WHOA!!

[@kristenbuildsstuff]

I love you so much, Mike ❤ You are truly a legend. I will cherish all the time you spent with Dream Theater forever. You have such a kind, genuine, humble soul, which is rare with someone that is on your level talent and knowledge wise. It seems like you are doing great with all of your current endeavors. I loved the solo album, by the way! Keep doing your thing, Mike. I’m a fan for life.

[@bahritkharakor9257]

[@shawnhapney8784]

@@joegabinojg104 Got It. Appreciate Your Response..It just? Ya know? 34 years man. I Love Drums and Percussion. Until I Die. Something better hurt me bad enough to make me stop being able to do it. I live with chronic pain. I still play some pretty hard music. I got lucky. My injuries came just a few inches shy of taking it all away from me. I don't know what your story is but keep it going long as ya can life is a time limited experience..NYC Is Ok With Me Either Way. I like them too. Tough As They Are. A lot of Fantastic Musicians. I live in Cleveland. We got a lot great ones too. I guess maybe I get annoyed cause NYC and Nashville And L.A. get all the glory when fact is the medium sized cities could stand to have some more attention in that respect ya know?

You've been given a gift Mike, keep sharing it 🙂

[@Stoovey24]

I played with a click on my church's TD-6 k8t for the first time ever tonight. The lead guitarist kept starting one of the songs we were rehearsing for Christmas Eve service. The worship leader blamed me at first for rushing the song, but when I turned the click on, it was immediately evident that it wasn't my fault. It was an interesting experience.

[@azstratus1]

Geez how do you explain this! Talk about staying "in-the-grid" with perfection. Incredible!

[@alejandrochavez1838]

Absolutely outstanding, Mr Mangini is definitely the best drummer in the world, impossible not to feel pure magic while seeing this great performance. Bravo Sir!

Awesome Mike! Really nice to hear the way you listen the cues! Hey, could you please explain why in the intro you have the full 17/16 (in /8) click counting (like 12345678and1) and in the middle of the song and at the end, is focused on the pulse of 17, 5+5+7? Is it just a matter of taste?

Thank you so much for posting these performance videos! It is so EDUCATIONAL to watch a master and take notes. Are your hi-hats 13”, 14”, or a mix on this tour? (Or is there a “rig rundown” already posted somewhere for this tour?) (Why do you choose the sizes for the K/Z’s, New Beats, ZBT’s, A Customs.)

The only thing I hate about Mangini is, he made it much difficult to play Dream Theater songs, It's already hard before now became impossible lol

It will be easier since the rest of the band boned Mangini and went back to Turdnoy.

Non-drummer Q: Are the kicks mixed quietly in the video or is it a case of playing accurately and letting the mics do the extra hard work or have my ears been spoiled by super compressed recordings with samples layered over the top?
