Probably the 3rd or 4th time watching this and it just solidifies my deep respect and gratitude for both of them. RIP Dom

[@fabfishing7422]

Mike Mangini is a Genuine, Certified, Undeniable.. MONSTER DRUMMER from another Universe!! 💪💪

[@frenziedfortressdrums]

This guy is wicked smaat (in my best Boston accent). This is a guy who has studied percussion and the drum set in particular in extreme detail.

[@munton5150]

One of the most innovative players of our time.

[@monstersaint]

These guys are the most amazing role models. We are so fortunate.

[@volpe_sol]

There's tons of drumming Podcasts out there, but no other host such as Dom. These interviews are true gems!

[@julielobato9766]

Mike is so centered and humble. His wonderful attitude has made it possible for him to achieve so much. His music and persona.. Enchanting combination!

[@Cobretti2875]

He seems to be such a nice person. Polite and always full of joy by drumming.

[@aadrianogamino]

The great great Mike Mangini. Not Quite Doubled, C&C, 2N2, Permutations, etc. All in Rhythm Knowledge is pure gold. He will be remembered as a drummer revolutionary

[@cyberaudit2955]

Such a masterful drummer...and a genuinely nice guy!

[@rosslmccallum]

I love listening to him explain the sound of different hi hats for different song sections and that the budget friendly gear is sometimes already the perfect sound for the music. Putting the music above all else is the only path. This is a great interview, thank you.

[@jichola]

This wasn't an interview... this was a dialogue. Great one! Hope we'll see Part 2 soon!

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

Dom and Mangini are both awesome.

[@johngold1849]

Talent is a blessing of God. I like his attitude on humility. If u want to be the exception in anything in life, humility is key. Very cool dude and awesome musician. Thanks guys.

[@darrenstewart2245]

Just started drumming bout 2 months ago. Before i ever saw this video or knew who Mike Mangini was, I did things that others thought, was too much, or i was off beat. I just learned that i was syncopation. Thank You

[@mranonymous1966]

the inside of "Spectrum" Billy Cobham's clear drumset was what blew my mind

[@yidyb2862]

I’m not ambidextrous but all because of Mike Mangini that I’ve been trying for a long time to practice with my left hand on my hihat and right hand on my ride, etc. Thanks Mike!

[@yidyb2862]

When I saw a video with mike Mangini in it was looking forward to it regardless what it was . Such an awesome drummer

[@patrickwaskielis6235]

Thanks for sharing this Don, it was a great interview with Mike Mangini what a great drummer. I have been using Vater sticks for a long time, I cant wait to try out MM model Wicked Piston what a cool name for a stick!

[@rickwills4281]

Excellent interview!!

[@shanegriffin2215]

Wonderful musical techincal insanity. Mike is just incredible.

[@VladProkhorovDrums]

I'm a simple man, I see Mike Mangini, and I click.

[@RandyHanley]

I forget how great Vater sticks are, since I've been playing Vic Firth so long. This video is having me want to go pick up a pair of Vaters again - Love switching between them.

[@chopzmasta07]

Try Mike's signature stick

[@RandyHanley]

I love these interviews!

[@jorndoe7138]

He is so underrated and unappreciated because he was so advanced in his approach on how to drumming in modern music. We don't know how to appreciate or to understand what he's doing with the drum musically.

[@swindle2240]

A Grammy to his resumè for a track where he is the absolute star is definitely a way to draw more attention and love towards the master!

[@gzarrukd]

Great to see more content with Mike!

[@j.d.7208]

2 of my favs love it part 2 bring it

[@huferdrummer]

thanks!!

[@ecorson03]

You two are awesome!!!! I would love to hang out with you guys . Genuinely great people! Thank you Dom and Mike :-)

[@RouxRouxRingo]

I lol'd when we said he wrote down what the other drummers could do better than him. I would love to see that list. It was probably just a list of their names and just things he likes about them cause what can Mancini not do?... honestly.. what?.. but what do I know? I'm just happy to be here!

[@joelalexander4513]

Just my two cents, but - I'm not a musical fan of DT by any stretch since their debut. Images and Words was refreshing in a sense where they incorporated adult-contempo, Kenny G style, and that was interesting back in my junior yr of HS, but.... Present day...Mangini is such an amazing percussionist, and such a nice, appropriately neurotic fella, such a deeply affected genius creative, that - out of everything he is involved in, I'll be a fan for life. He NEVER lost his gratitude from the audition back in 2011, was it? He never lost it. Beautiful.

[@yidyb2862]

A part 2 would be AWESOME!

[@kellyreinoso4827]

Dude is so good he needs safety glasses!

[@andymatzner4891]

Great interview...Inspiring

[@davidmichaelsen9805]

Oh yeah.Please do a part 2 very soon.

[@lalhmunmawiapachuau7777]

This is what happens when two incredible persons meet!

[@jankohrtdrums]

Very interesting inside into Mike's way of thinking 👍 Looking forward to part two ✌️ #vaterfamily

[@luckylicks3497]

I've been trying to buy those two volumes for years. All out of print. Please Mike, do another run

[@jesusmtz29]

holy shit he's such a nice dude.

[@jasonrosenberry7076]

Glad to see he’s not above throwing a ZBT in there

[@landonpeckham7752]

If it sounds good, use it!

[@bobdoyle5945]

I had some courage and filled my entire loft with a huge set that i can almost play.. and tell the GIRL.. shhhhh MIKE SAAID go for it!

[@BetoAzamar]

I am a guitarist but anyway I enjoyed this conversation with Mike.

[@asabovesobelow2299]

8:30 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@viniciusgabriel4610]

The Best Crossover

[@brunoteixeira1531]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@shawnhapney8784]

If you don't like Mike Mangini just as he comes across as a person yet alone his skill level professionally? You're not a real human being.

[@jaymacdonnell4730]

Drummers are a different breed from other instrumentalists

[@emiliobiggs3656]

His introduction was so funny lmao

[@MrNickDrummer]

I'm just half way through this interview, but I'd ask him how he overcame frustrations over very difficult drum parts. Just perseverance? Mangini is awesome, I just uploaded "Our New World" that I thought was a simple enough... yeah right. Those bass drum notes are placed Mangini style = fry your brain a little 🤣

[@00govan00]

fulcrum heavyocity!

[@n0zferattu]

100% left brain 100% right brain

[@pedroflores5091]

[@infin8online]

The only prescription is more cowbell.

[@monstersaint]

Logorea! Bwah haahh!!

[@drummerunner]

Italian genial chromosomes and American superb musical culture. Top!

[@bp6837]

Mangini is 17x better than...
