Eric Disrude - The drum tech behind "The Albino Monster"

The other man behind the drums

He's gotta have that one dollar now.

As a retired pro drum tech this gentleman is spot on. You have to do it all or something is left unseen. Durring a show you never never never take your eyes off your guy. He's 100% correct in saying that's when something goes wrong I would have drummers and laugh at me because my head would be moving with them as they did a fill or certain things all night long and I took great pride in the fact that every time they looked back at me that I already knew what the problem was and was ready to deal with it. And one thing I always took pride in was the fact that I was a representative of the act that I worked for. I went out of my way to answer questions to fans and treated all local crews with kindness and respect. Because if you're an a****** those same crews and fans aren't going to say that the drum tech from the band was an a****** they're going to say the band or assholes that's not cool or fair to the band.

Sounds to me like you have a great work ethic my friend. That’s something lacking with some people today but there are still a lot who do have it. Always take pride in what ya do.

[@InzidenzPanik]

Glad to see that Mangini brought him back into DT

[@vadinhobarbosa]

Portnoy the best... follow you from the dream theater... you are an inspiration as a professional.

[@chaneppchannel_365]

I like these drum series.

[@eliaszeghen765]

whats the tom holder that hold a splash at the same time ? and its that tama rack system?

[@6582rg]

The TAMA Mirage kit is just incredible looking. Hope Mike likes it.

[@bpooboi]

One of the most wild things to me about touring is you get help with all your shit. Lol to me thats wild. To have someone clean your shit. Man. I just wouldnt be able to cope lol. I know you only get it if you bring it but theres usually no shortage of roadies

[@Detonated66]

I can imagine the "when you're not looking that's when it happens" because you just look and look and pay attention so you might get bored and so that's when the shit will hit the fan hahaha

[@sandythedrummer]

I want to be a drum tech...

[@charlie.co42]

5:03 what polish is that?

[@silentype3008]

Trick cymbal polish. He says it in the video. Trick is the brand, and they make cymbal and drum polish.

[@robertdirocco1885]

Where’s Jose??

[@InsaneDrumer18]

Yeah that's my question as well. Jose was absent for some time, he's back with Mike now

[@tweevers2]

I wonder what the stories was why Mikes longtime tech Jose wasn't around to then have Eric take over as tech. Jose returned after those couple years absent and became tech again...I think even still to this day.

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

What happened with Eric?

[@tweevers2]

@@musiqsoundsproductions I think Eric has been Mike mangini's tech for awhile. Eric I guess was a temp drum tech while Jose was off during other tours/bands. Once Jose came back Eric went on his way to tech for other projects but has been Mangini's tech with Dream Theater

[@cosmavitosoldato6108]

I've always liked Portnoy's drumm kit

[@resmiditunda3819]
