Steve Vai live in Sofia Bulgaria - 7. Mike Mangini's Drum Solo

[@weplay]

This man could be the drummer at Dream Theater one day. :-)

[@lloydslichenmyer]

Doesn't matter how high his cymbals are or any of his other personal drum placement, it works for him. I mean, he's got the energy and accuracy to hit any drum wherever it's placed at will.

[@n0zferattu]

@Donteven Fuckintalktome Playing MP's materials was too easy for MM, so he raised the cymbals for more challenges. I think you understand better now, son.

[@andresloaysa4283]

Seas mamón 😒

[@Legend36_bmxchampion]

He is all ready in dream theatre man @weplay

[@weplay]

@@Legend36_bmxchampion yeah, I know - that was the joke, man :-)

[@lightrays3595]

Next level drumming! Amazing 👏

[@jimjordan4345]

He’s a rocknroll machine🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Camera changes so oftenthough

[@BOOLsheet]

amazing solo, horrendous camera work

[@vincentroberto9673]

Killer playing!

[@bHIPman]

WTF!? Mike is awesome but every 2 seconds different angle? It hurts my eyes. Video editor sucks.

[@killinginmxtion5491]

I really love this look

[@tommasotemporin]

1:05 "Bleed" by Meshuggah played 7-8 years before it was released :)

[@RandyHanley]

+Tommaso Temporin lol TRUE.

[@asabovesobelow2299]

Bleed... Overrated

[@lincthomas7178]

mangini couldn't match haakes speed

[@lloydslichenmyer]

@@lincthomas7178 Pshhh, bs. In other solos he takes the bleed rythm (foot hertas) and takes it a few levels higher, layering other rythms over it. This is years before the song ever came out. The herta has been used far longer though

[@lincthomas7178]

@@lloydslichenmyer nope, your wrong

[@shawnhapney8784]

Really like that kit!

[@moon_joust7368]

This solo is very spiritual for me. Love Mangini and Matt

[@olivermarshall3212]

Absolutely phenomenal drummer. I have to say though his solos nowadays are a lot more interesting than this.

[@jd0879]

For difference audiences. DT is more technical

[@hectorroca9076]

Un monstruo total de la batería

[@BarkingAkai]

one of the most skillful drummer

[@AlphaSpaz]

Wow, amazing. To bad the end of his solo was ruined by the director of the video.

[@kajiraoni]

Thought I was going to explode!

[@stratdx]

In the words of the immortal Nigel Tufnel, “ I hear him play and I go “yeah... but what is he doing?”

[@hoyungtom]

Still 2024 Sunday morning now，actually wanna looking Mike M play drums... Vai : Mike Mangini on the drums 🥁 😊

[@KennyO303]

I had a seizure watching the end of the video. But seriously, Mike's killin' it.

[@norpriest521]

Sloppiest drum solo by renowned drummmer lol😂

[@Pirustae]

A madman on the drums

[@IvanIvanov-kr2tm]

I was thereeee! ( :

[@aydindagdeviren101]

What was it like?

[@MrTripletts]

Always someone who claims to have been there

[@jp_rr]

Mike Mangini is God

[@JHMS4552]

esse cara toca muito tanta velocidade em um ser humano incrivel

[@pauljamison8546]

as a non-drummer the single hand rolls are impressive.

[@thejimmycramer]

too many angles and compressor sucks, but Mike sounds great otherwise.

[@schizoak_4720]

Mangini looks so happy ... 3:10 - 3:20 when he's annihilating the bass drum looking left and right, then looking like he had a hiccup at 3:19 was especially funny. Dream Theater for some unknown reason kinda took that outta him, maybe too much time around Myung lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6SUkGaKg7aqfNE

[@bradleygamble1912]

God he looked so masculine here.

[@DrumApe]

Best Drum Solo vs Worst Video Edit

[@Dimebag333x]

Holy compression Batman!

[@AdriánSánchez-d7h]

Brutal solo! But, Once in a live time..Esto no podría hacerlo a día de hoy..

[@memorywarrior8752]

Love Mike, but why is he dressed as Tarzan?

[@hind33r]

a monster

[@monstersaint]

The video editor should go into another line of work.

[@guitarste]

Camera at the end during crossover hands part was annoying 🙄 just film it with 1 angle 😌

[@bavingeter423]

What happened to this mike?

[@snowdog90210]

I wish they'd change the camera angles a few more times. I was looking forward to a good seizure.

[@mischaelman6596]

The editor sucks, too much of angle transitions, its like in evry 2 sec of a clip.😖 I like Mangini though. Awesome performance.

[@KevinLuWX]

The jump cuts lol

[@pricesmith8450]

i know this solo. why on earth did you chop it up, and so weirdly at that

[@Nickolaars]

Okay... The editor should be fired. Where ever he is today, fire him!

[@chronokoks]

Amazing drummer but who taught him to throw sticks like that into the audience? You throw it with a spin generated by the wrist and fingers along the stick's axis so it gyroscopically mantains it's orientation in space and in a way so it flies parallel to the frontal axis of the bodies of the audience standing in front of you. In other words you throw it by a black panther raised fist hand posture and grip. You don't want to poke anyone's eye out!

[@marinhrabric6162]

He should bring this hair and beard back

[@yesnickcarter]

Whoever edited this video should be arrested for terrorism. It seems like the editor did everything in his power to distract from what Mike is doing.

[@猫誠-g5l]

YOSHIKIじゃ30秒で倒れる(笑)この人はマンジーニは人を辞めロボットになりました‼️

[@kabali1788]

Ringo Starr rules man !.

[@bereangirl7118]

why can't these guys ever get a drummer to video shoot these drum solo's"?. it would be so much better with the actual video of the drummer's solo being shot instead of a bunch of in and out panning with the camera which is so amateurish".

[@crisdrumming]

When he had a good drum sound

[@Dewvoodle]

Who ever post produced this.... needs to be fired thise .25sec camera changes sucked!!!!

[@thedrummer88]

Well... Messi can also play the drums as well as soccer! :D

[@postbote71]

now he must back to muppet show:-)

[@Phil81.]

The video sucks he is already fast and the fucken cameras always moving all the time make me sick seriously! But Mr.Mangini and Mr.Portnoy are the real fucken thing🥁🥁🥁💥

[@SmartPhone-us3kj]

Diapers​ rulz

[@RAGEStudios2012]

Hmmm John bonham hmmm

[@ok-alarm]

the editing gave me headache!!

[@немоёнезнаю]

Jay Wainberg leave chat )))

[@MrRadief]

[@fourfivetwo599]

the more i see, the more i think, he was gay.

[@xXNightedgeXx]

Camera crew has ADHD..... lool

[@Petruccifan77]

Excellent drummer...but kind of cheesy, so much so that he puts Cheetos to shame. What’s with the loin cloth? Lol Yikes

[@treefrog3560]

Where is your video?? U suck

[@danneu8]

Jesus fucking christ that was painful to watch.

[@Metal-Possum]

Seems like he's really accomplished at hitting things. Good for him.

[@ConeTheBoss559]

Cool and guitarists seem like they're really accomplished at pulling things, good for them, singers are really accomplished in opening their mouths, good for them, scientist are really accomplished at thinking and writing stuff, good for them.
