Mangini's Polyrhythm, finally free section drum playthrough

This is the most difficult and complex thing I have ever attempted by Dream Theater.
Mike Mangini played this 12 seconds polyrhythm over the 9th repetition of the instrumental section of the song “Finally Free” during Distance Over Time tour (same version as in the Live in London DVD).
I am absolutely amazed how hard this was to hit all the notes and get it on time. Mind blowing. Such a great exercise for one’s coordination 🤯
The hardest part: integrating that left hand doing simple 4/4 half-notes over such complex transitions without train-wrecking.
My perception of the odd times as told by the metronome at 0:16 (odd time signature both feet and right hand are following) was HOW I FELT it. Doesn’t mean it cannot be perceived other way (how I’d love to know how he structured this out and if he felt this in a different, maybe easier way…)
Bottom line is: the complexity, the effort and the knowledge to have been put in such a short 12 seconds of a live song. 🤯🥴
