The most amount of money you would pay to see a Mangini vs. Portnoy drum battle?

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Pretty sure he was talking about prog metal.

[As I Am]

While I am WAYYYYYYYYYY more "pro Portnoy" than Mangini, in a "drum battle" MM would destroy MP because he is way more technically proficient than MP. But as I have stated before, while I really like MM, I would take MP in a band setting any day of the week. The man just plays with such feel and passion and less "robotic".

The only thing I dislike about MM is how his cymbals and octobans sound like absolute trash. Give that man a proper set like the one on the auditions and he sounds amazing.

I wouldn't want something like this to happen because I don't like turning art into a pissing match.  However, if this did happen, I honestly would have a hard time staying away and missing an opportunity just to see two of my favorite drummers perform.

i can pay $1000 + for MM 

[PuffyPat]

but progressive drummers are really boring, and predictable. Give me Thomas Pridgen

... isn't Pridgen a progressive drummer?

He played in a progressive band, but he has a gospel background, and he's currently in a more funk oriented rock band.

[Jaq]

As much as I love drum solos-and I'm a guy who listens to multiple versions of John Bonham solos from successive nights of a tour, some of them as long as 30 minutes-yeah, I wouldn't pay to see this.

[farsight]

I'd like to see it, but then it would be terribly one sided. Portnoy rarely won drum battles.

I would really like to pay $5 for the spit guards JP removed when Mike left though. It'd be gross, but hey, it's history.

[Elite]

$1

I already know what each guy is capable of and brings to the table.

Except for the $1 part.

[CodyWanKenobi]

Added a $0 - $19 option.

[son_ov_hades]

You need a $0-$0 option. I can't vote for 0-19 because that implies I'd be willing to spend anything.
