Super happy I saw this video. Just saw Dream Theatre in Orlando a 2 days ago. ( What a show!!) Mike’s performance was a huge waaaaooowwww. I was unable to tell if he is a left or a right handed drummer and finally I get a clarification on his kit. Keep rockin’
I love that we drummers constantly steal shit from each other and we are actually happy about it lol I am sure Steve feels honored to have his licks stolen from him by Mike and vice versa :) Amazing drums set for an AMAZING drummer!
I want a Mangini style kit It would be setup different to fit more toms by haveing the toms more outward Goring in the same ambidextrous setup 6 8 10 12 13 14 15 16 18 20 22 Inch toms And 24 inch kicks No rocket toms The whole idea is to be able to play toms melodically like tenor drums It’s a prototype I am making with litteraly every drum I own
It's hard not to like Mangini. About signaling for monitor adjustment, it's kinda simple for that vocally or hand signals. I used to work as soundman for a live band club. I would tell the musicians just point your finger at any one then point up or down = he wanted the guy volume up or down in his monitor mix. Near proximity just vocally say thing like: guitar UP, Key Down, bass UP, vocal UP (or down) Whatever he wants. Of course UP or DOWN doesn't mean jump the volume several notches and blow the eardrums LOL
If you are right handed..........or playing the drums.............normal drumming........."right" handed..............and you learn to do it and the with your "left" all that..................i "think".............you can play ANYTHING "then".......!!! Legs-hands staff o mean......!!!
@@dericanslum1696 Um..literally according to mike in the video. Did you even listen ? He even said it HURTS SOMETIMES to play it. His choices sometimes make me shake my head.
Funny Mike does not know what Pearl calls their tube toms. They are not tube drums, they are rocket toms. Learn what kind of drums you have. Your snare does not sound like Neil Pearts snare. The drums need tuning badly.
His snare has sounded terrible on all the DT records he has been on. I've seen him talk about his preferred snare sound many times and it isn't even close to all the sounds they come up with for the records. Makes me wonder if Portnoy always produced because people wanted him to tune his drums like shit haha
danlc95 The drum sound itself was good on ADToE, but the way it was mixed and mastered was garbage. It sounds like a demo at times and the drums are mixed lower on that album than any other DT album to the point that the snare drum, the most important part of any drum set, can barely be heard at times. I’m still waiting for MM to get a good drum sound on a DT studio effort (his drums sounded fantastic on the BtFW live album/dvd) because an incredible drummer like Mangini deserves to be heard in all of his glory.
"Give you a couple how do you dos" I love Mike's personality. I've only listened to maybe 3 Dream Theatre songs in my life, but I've watched dozens of videos of the band members and they're all just such great guys.
I fell in love with Mike when I first saw him in DT drummer audition. From that time on I can't get enough of watching his interviews. Such a nice guy, a real gentleman, very friendly and first class professional!!! Forgot to mention that I actually listened maybe one DT song in my life)) And Mike had better haircut before DT IMHO
just surfin you tube and came across this video. have no idea who he is but he seems like a genuine person and mad coool. happy and positive is a great way to go through life
because 'octobans' is a Tama trademark name I think..every other company that makes those style of drums has to call them something else...ie rocket toms by Pearl...Ludwig makes them and calls them something other than octobans etc...
I'm using a real matching courp fiberskin white Remo snare drum Head on my regular main snare and it brings me back to the marching band style of playing in the football field and it doesn't need much micng period

I love Mike, he is like one of those quirky grade school music teachers.
my most fav. drummer of all time...Amazing drummer!
He's the Allen Vizzutti of drums!
Eric is an unsung hero. Nice shout out to Steve Smith.. Mangini is an amazing musician and a pretty cool guy from what I've seen. Can't get enough..
You should ask him for a dollar now xD
looooool best comment here xD
Is that the same guy?
@@stefandobrev2238 Im pretty sure it is
RIP earphones watchers/listeners...
Well, it's not like he didn't warn you :D
Say what?!?!😂

Mike..my fav drummer. You are an inspiration my friend
A very humble and passionate human.
I love that we drummers constantly steal shit from each other and we are actually happy about it lol I am sure Steve feels honored to have his licks stolen from him by Mike and vice versa :)
Amazing drums set for an AMAZING drummer!
Mike seems like a really cool down to earth dude who's EXTREMELY brilliant at what he does....so good
HA! I knew that Steve Smith lick as soon as he played it. Memory still sharp! :-P
that "face signal"...
Nice! I also use that groove from "Backtalk" by Journey to hear what my kit is sounding like.
very intelligent guy....
Mangini sencillo y cercano, un maestro!
The cutest guy.
4:44 And they didn't even have to change the label's name. *Ba Dum Tsss*
Some seconds after that: "That's been around for a while"
Maybe you're right lol
4:41 " Oh...... Thats Portnoys? Cool...."
Mike's humility: "This kit was conceived before it was able to be played."
It's time to drive that Zamboni: ruclips.net/video/V0m7G_HJD10/видео.html
My first drumkit was Pearl!
love it!!
why they picked him up i dont understand.
it is , what , i use REMO since 30 years!
The G.O.A.T!!!!
2:36
Mike: I like snares WITH CRACK
Snare: *sounds like it snorted crack for years*
i like his personality...nver changed even he hasnt join DT
Was Eric Disrude the drum tech for Portnoy back in the Albino Monster?
i dont remember when he took over for jose, but yes, he was portnoys drum tech for a while too
I want a Mangini style kit
It would be setup different to fit more toms by haveing the toms more outward
Goring in the same ambidextrous setup

It’s a prototype I am making with litteraly every drum I own
I wish Mike would chill abit..he is a cool dude !
WTF? Is that a real plane parked backstage?? @0:15
waynes world waynes world... its mike mangini here. he is the brother of garth. :D
Thanks! Could you "manual focus mode" though.\,,/

Welcome to the aprdectress world. Mr Mike
they didn't have to change the name of the drummer monitoring thing haha
I miss you mike
Mike is using Earthworks Mics now?!
good drummer
why no focus on the camera??
wait tambourines CAN go off?
" My drums skins don't dent " - cut to every tom head full of dents...
I don't get why you have just one snare if it doesn't fit everything? Unless I start thinking about complexity...
But he does have two
Guys is this the official Dream Theater Club?
Beta 98 1-4. Yes, how do you do...
Can't wait to see you guys again when you come to Austin! www.DrummerGirlG.com
...and Darude
did mike go emo?
What the fuck this plane is doing here ?
Mancini is outstanding. His character always strikes me as stressed, edgy and anxious. Now compare that to Petrucci.
If you are right handed..........or playing the drums.............normal drumming........."right" handed..............and you learn to do it and the with your "left" all that..................i "think".............you can play ANYTHING "then".......!!!
Legs-hands staff o mean......!!!
nice hair...but thats it!
So he designed this thing before he could even play it...
...Bit backwards.
Kotow Boy when you reach his level it don't matter
Twimpy Boy ...according to what and who...?...
@@dericanslum1696 Um..literally according to mike in the video. Did you even listen ? He even said it HURTS SOMETIMES to play it. His choices sometimes make me shake my head.
@@DavidOakesMusic ...I was referring to the backwards part...
Someone does not know how to keep focus
Spends time describing mics
*Doesn't use any of them for this video*
Mike is better than Mike
2:40 ok somebody like me would usually say "at least the snare sounds better than Lars'" but this time.... ehh
Snare sounds great it’s just overloading the camera mic.
The camera guy is terrible
The camera guy is just a guy in their crew...
Gay
Interesting individual for sure. Extremely talented but unfortunately uncreative and boring... musically and what not.
BETA DOOD LOL
Mangini is worst option for DT. Annoying drummer.
Yeah Thomas Lang is much better.
You talk too much just play
Funny Mike does not know what Pearl calls their tube toms. They are not tube drums, they are rocket toms. Learn what kind of drums you have. Your snare does not sound like Neil Pearts snare. The drums need tuning badly.
2:34
"Snare drum has a lot of CRACK. I like snare drums with CRACK."
I guess this is where he gets all that energy to hit so hard and fast.
Funny how the snare drum sound he mentioned here, that he loved, was almost nonexistent in the self-titled album. So who's decision was that?
His snare has sounded terrible on all the DT records he has been on. I've seen him talk about his preferred snare sound many times and it isn't even close to all the sounds they come up with for the records.
Makes me wonder if Portnoy always produced because people wanted him to tune his drums like shit haha
I guess JP controls all the production now, so Mangini gets the short end of the stick all the time.
He is NOT responsible for the sound editing. Blame JP and Chycki for the shit snare.
Jim Pauls Loved the sounds on ADOTE.
danlc95 The drum sound itself was good on ADToE, but the way it was mixed and mastered was garbage. It sounds like a demo at times and the drums are mixed lower on that album than any other DT album to the point that the snare drum, the most important part of any drum set, can barely be heard at times.

hahaahahhahaha sooo nice guy you mike
He’s a happy guy. A really happy guy.
"Give you a couple how do you dos" I love Mike's personality. I've only listened to maybe 3 Dream Theatre songs in my life, but I've watched dozens of videos of the band members and they're all just such great guys.
Just realized when he talks about the monitor system. Eric says the pack has been around a long time. That means Portnoy used it.
Mike's in a premier band but I get the idea he'd be just as enthusiastic playing dive bars for 50 people. He just loves to play.
Wonderful drummer, My favourite.
I fell in love with Mike when I first saw him in DT drummer audition. From that time on I can't get enough of watching his interviews. Such a nice guy, a real gentleman, very friendly and first class professional!!! Forgot to mention that I actually listened maybe one DT song in my life)) And Mike had better haircut before DT IMHO
Thanks for posting! Mangini is the best.
Love their working relationship. Also "give ya a couple how do ya do's" XD
Cardinal sin: making a drum video using camera mics
The best
wait isn't that the guy who asked $1 from every dt member to buy his daughter an xbox?
Yep: ruclips.net/video/LvAR3woX_qE/видео.html
He seems like a really nice guy ( and of course a world class batterista ).
Disrude to be dis good
just surfin you tube and came across this video. have no idea who he is but he seems like a genuine person and mad coool. happy and positive is a great way to go through life
Saw these guys a month ago. Incredible show. Mangini was awesome. Don’t think they miss Portnoy, with possible exception of his vocals.
LMAO about that ' face signal', might get a bit tricky for Eric to ' read' it when Mike's hair gets in the way,....
The kit is set up for melody... so mike portnoys daugther is taking over? 😅
Eric Disrude was drum tech of Mike Portnoy in DT era?
ruclips.net/video/Qu792DZtc_U/видео.html
what hell sounds like :p
It is just me or does this guy look like Tiny-Tim LOL.
1:53 calling octobans tube drums smh
because 'octobans' is a Tama trademark name I think..every other company that makes those style of drums has to call them something else...ie rocket toms by Pearl...Ludwig makes them and calls them something other than octobans etc...
Was this in Reno?
god the audio sounds like shit to be honest
Mike is a very Nice and cool guy
Way better than any of Portnoy's setups.
It's irrelevant about one's taste for setup, I think you're being bias here...welll
Really? Because Portnoy's set up looks pretty relatable and this guy's set up is such a circus he had to specifically devote time to learning it.
Is he a drum tech or a butler?
I'm using a real matching courp fiberskin white Remo snare drum Head on my regular main snare and it brings me back to the marching band style of playing in the football field and it doesn't need much micng period
Seems like a nice guy but being a DT fan from the day, and a drummer, Portnoy will always be the man.
He looks like a transgender with long hair .. what happend to this dude he looked so cool in the interview day ...
My first job during highschool I got to drive a forklift before I was legal to drive.
long hair just doesn't work for him. he should go back to his Vai style. oh well
How to tune the sound
Je t'adore mr Mangini , tu es le meilleur batteur du monde ! et j'adore tes cheveux , ils ont l'air si doux !
BORING
This guy is off the charts. Top of the heap drummer !!
