Looking at those Mangini vids now, he does some cool stuff, especially in that Vai solo, but I think I still like Minnemann better. Pulling for him most of all. I can understand Antigoon's concern over Mangini's speed record, sort of a "he's fast, but is he just going to play fast stuff just because he can, or can he still bring tasteful, melodic drumming to DT, similar but not exactly like the way Portnoy would?"
