A musical powerhouse with an unparalleled career. From his Grammy wins to his unworldly drumming skills, his journey through music is nothing short of remarkable. He's not just a drummer, but a skilled composer, contributing to chart-topping albums while even breaking into unexpected genres.
Tasked with meticulously sampling his drum arsenal in its entirety, we were able to achieve something greater than anticipated; a vast, yet versatile orchestral-like collection of sounds.
Introducing, MixWave: Mike Mangini.

Whoever made this happen….its outrageous.

[@jps_musics]

This could not have come at a better time. Mike’s been my primary inspiration for the entire time I’ve played drums. I’m so unbelievably stoked for this

[@llgms]

It's crazy these sound so much better than the dream theater albums drum mix mangini did with the band

[@driftless7134]

They really do. I think the band really did Mike a disservice in the way they recorded and mixed him. They really underutilized him.

[@RandyHanley]

it's the PERFECT amount of reverb to where it's not obnoxious. Mike's drumming is the greatest and it's so cool that it's now captured!

[@str1897]

Toms are really the highlight here, sounds so deep !

[@HerrNox]

Manifesting this: 🕯️🕯️🕯️🙏🏻MixWave, I beg thee, please make a Jimmy Chamberlin library 🙏🏻🕯️🕯️🕯️

[@artsal]

I was hoping you guys will make a Gavin Harrison library someday. But I’m really happy no complaints Mike Mangini RULES thanks mixwave

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

No, I was hoping! I WANT his bell sounds. Damn! Since 2 years I am seeking for something similar but ... tried ride bells and whatever ..

[@bjornlakenstrazen2186]

i have made my own personal .wav file one shot library of gavin harrison's drumkits from his tutorials/drum solos. If you want, i can share with you.

[@artsal]

@@bjornlakenstrazen2186absolutely that sounds great

[@artsal]

@@bjornlakenstrazen2186 do you have an Instagram account? I Can PM you there . Thanks

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

@@bjornlakenstrazen2186 Nooo, really? That's amazing! I think the bell sounds would be really nice to have...

[@eDrumsandVSTs]

Oh my my my. Mixwave you are KILLING it. I want these!!

[@erasmorljr]

What a mixing What a drum set What a drummer !!!!!!!

[@MixReady]

Whoa!! 🤯 Must have been a lot of work to capture all these beautiful toms and cymbals! The kit sounds amazing guys 🙌

[@Blacklight_Music]

As usual, tag me when your version of this is ready for Logic Pro X and I’ll buy it haha!

[@lucymiyazono]

I have already purchased it and look forward to using his sound in my music.

[@ATOWofficial]

[@jessdrummer_]

Insane

[@joeyvpoisonfree]

Room sounds awesome

[@marcoaguillon4926]

OMG! ❤

[@reereelization]

Buying.

[@maxmolodtsov]

HOLLY MOLLY!!! Mike Mangini!! YEEEEEEEES!!!!!!

[@fackya2267]

Aight second drummer doing a mixwave library that gets fired, curse?

[@blastbeatsincorporated7875]

Could also be a blessing. 👀At least in Mangini's case.

[@GoofyGato]

maybe the word "fired" is too harsh for Mangini as he left the band in good terms

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

oha ... You mean Jay and Mike... strange

[@HectorRodriguez-music]

Shut up and take my money!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@adamburger858]

o snap!

[@MetalTuneMusic]

So fucking awesome

[@augustodiniz1051]

We neeed Mixwave Loathe

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

I just wish it has just big bigger dynamic range, it would be cool to have natural and processed versions of drumset for mixing purpose sake. Other then that pretty much perfect drumset for my needs. I always struggled with drum plugins, had to buy 2/3 expansions etc to get drum kit i wanted (expensive, tedious process, and above all time consuming). This one has octa small drums, 2 snares, plenty of variety of bright/dark cymbals etc. If its possible please give us in future update raw drumkit samples with bit more dynamic level as additional option. Kind regards, Dado. \m/

[@blastbeatsincorporated7875]

I can officially die a happy man.

[@6oundStudio]

please live

[@ChordTracks]

I currently own the Gojira and Thomas Pridgen kit, are these worth the buy? Looking for some feedback from anyone that owns this kit. Thanks!

[@SamiK1989]

Does this library have CC Learn for E-kit hihat?

[@drumam]

Except for a few libraries, hihat calibration in Kontakt is always a pain. I don't understand why Mixwave and other manufacturers don't make an effort on this particular issue.

[@thethings4708]

I am not about wich to choose between Mangini OR Mario Duplantier... Like both guys ... but Duplantier is probably my top 5 favorite drummer BUT this Mangibi plugin look very impressive...

[@rikosimmo]

The duplantier cymbals are a huge let down. Kick snare and toms amazing! Crashes sound like splashes, no decay, totally choked sounding, unusable

[@tumbamarch89]

Next Plug In, Thomas Lang?

[@Wizzerman95]

Odd that Mixwave released two drum libraries where the drummer got kicked out in the same year

[@MLC7957]

Fix you after touch response it doesnt work on my td 27

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

So these library do not support AT cymbal chokes? Awwww.... hihat CC4 I have seen...already in another vid.

[@MLC7957]

@@eDrumsInANutshell not this one specifically but their mapping as a whole hihat i figured out but the after touch of cymbals on a td 27 no. I have the tony royster pack

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

@@MLC7957 Ok, thanks. I am just thinking about it, and I am lucky. With my Audiofront eDRUMin modules I can switch from cymbal choke AT to note mode. Also the hihat engine supports sending a CC message or note for the different openings. I don't know the Roland settings but is it maybe possible to set it to something like "cymbal choke note mode"-ish. Or maybe your DAW can translate AT messages to notes?

[@marvinpaerran8858]

I just saw that BecauseDrumGeek has an e-drum fix. The descriptions states that the original Mute Tails also work with crash chokes (so not only the default fadeout function).

[@M-pb8ms]

I have noticed that great progressive metal drummers don't use double bass drums anymore. Why have they decided to use double pedal instead??

[@imhvy]

Less stuff to move around. Less potential mic issues.

[@mammontustado9680]

I'll just wait for Portnoy's 😅

[@michaelfranz685]

i agree

[@judahsuum6164]

all mixwave colours are the same, especially kik and snare, i wish we get the big artists' organic natural colours.
