Currently: I have just shipped of my drum tracks for 6 songs for guitarist Isao Fujita (who I did a short tour of Japan with in 2010.) They're my best playing to date Can't wait for them to be heard. My new 'leg' is coming alone so well but slowly. I have posted some new videos on youtube. One is a solo from October 2010, the last recorded one for me. You can see/hear a huge difference in my groove; it is because my upper leg muscles are now working as they should've all along. Anyway, I will be now revamping the studio before my next sessions start in about two weeks. I have to spend time working with and learning the new Pearl E-Pro Electronic kit & brain. Lots of videos and website ideas are on cue...
I think it's Marco. Though I'll keep my original vote for Thomas Lang.
This gentleman has taste, folks.
Most compelling evidence its definitely going to be Mike Mangini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxE2GGE6SDY

Well, this is certainly interesting. Posted earlier today:QuoteA new day is about to dawn for progressive metal kings, Dream Theater. Questions have abounded recently about who will replace Mike Portnoy on drums. Under normal circumstances, hiring a replacement drummer would not create such a buzz.In Dream Theater’s case, however, nothing is ever conventional. Let’s not forget that this is the band that breathed new life into progressive music. Even stalwarts like Yes and Rush seemed to be losing steam in the 1990’s. Suffice it to say, without Dream Theater’s influence, the genre would be on life support.Perhaps, then, it should come as no surprise that little in Dream Theater world is “typical.” Reports are that Portnoy initially recommended the band go on indefinite hiatus. Instead, the band gave Portnoy an unexpected ultimatum: Either enter the studio in January 2011 as planned, or relinquish the drum throne. Stepping down as Dream Theater’s drummer was not something Portnoy had previously contemplated. This was a band he founded and had been with for the past twenty-five years. Essentially, the band did not want to lose any momentum by delaying their next album. Reluctantly, Portnoy decided to step aside.Initial fan reaction to the announcement was mixed; some were angry, and some excited. Speculation about who will replace Portnoy’s is the new topic of the day.Not one to stand idle, Portnoy has booked two projects with Neal Morse for 2011. On top of that, he also finished a tour with Avenged Sevenfold as interim drummer after the passing of Jimmy "Rev" Sullivan. To date, Portnoy has not revealed any long-term plans.Twitter, fan Internet forums, and sites like Blabbermouth have fueled fan speculation. However, the band has not yet made its final announcement about Portnoy’s successor. Ending the rumors evidently took a backseat to working out other issues.None of the band members have leaked the information--Except to say that auditions have been held, and the decision has been made.When the announcement would come, fans could only guess...until now.Dream Theater recently informed sources that the announcement is imminent. Ready or not, fans will know the identity of the man on the throne before long. Under the circumstances, the announcement will come none too soon for most. Many, many names of potential candidates have been tossed around the rumor mill: Minnemann, Mangini, Lang, Donati, and even Lars Ulrich have been rumored by fans.Everyone will no doubt be scouring the Internet for the news over the next few days. Read who the new drummer is right here--very, VERY soon.It's a bit cryptic, but if you read carefully, I think I know what the guy is hinting at.EDIT: Sorry about the weird formatting. That's how it copied from the site and I can't be bothered to fix it.

The only reason Kevin Moore isn't winning is that Zombie MP is taking some of the comedy option votes.
Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

What, no option for Herman Rarebell?

Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.
