Gavin would definitely be my first choice though. He's a phenomenal drummer and as SW says, "he's the musician of the band." He would be the perfect fit for DT imo.

Rumbo, why are you bringing up Harrison? Didn't you already start a thread claiming to "know" people saying it was Mangini?
Why perpetuate other names?

Are you saying that the drummer is NOT in the studio? Has this been confirmed because I would be very surprised if that were true. To me, it makes no sense.

I think he's just having fun in this thread. The thread title implies speculation. It's all in fun.

I'm just stirring the pot a little. Because there's nothing else happening in DT world really. The Mangini thread was about somebody else's strong belief about Mangini, not necessarily my own.

My personal sense is, given DT's popularity, I have a very hard time imagining you have a drummer entering and leaving the studio daily and nobody knowing about it.

OK Ok I'm chilled! It's just that there's enough spam from the noobs.

How popular are they? This is damned DTF and we can't even perform an organized stakeout, and we're their biggest fans!

lucky7 · « **Reply #4274 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:15:06 PM »

I still think it is Mike Mangini, but I just noticed (I have probably seen it a thousand times) the front page for MP website which states; MP is a founding member and Drummer of Dream Theater as well as side projects etc....but it doesn't list anywhere his new project with Symphony X singer Russel Allen and Mike Orlando.
Why not list he has left Dream Theater.....God I really just want an announcement already.

dongringo · « **Reply #4275 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:34:32 PM »

At this point, I think it would take us by surprise if it wasn't Mike Mangini.

bloop · « **Reply #4276 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:48:22 PM »

I certainly wouldn't be surprised. In retrospect, we based some of our assumptions on evidence that didn't necessarily rule the drummer out. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some drummer that we already decided didn't get the job because some guy knew some guy that didn't think he was the new drummer. Sure some guys we know aren't because of schedule conflicts or they actually said they weren't (Zeleny, Wildoer to an extent), but it could easily be some guy we overlooked in the first few weeks of these shenanigans.

Mladen · « **Reply #4277 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:51:08 PM »

Zeleny and Wildoer were my two initial choices, but when they were ruled out I started considering Mangini, Minneman and Lang. But then again, I'll be happy with whoever they pick.

i don't think i would be surprised. i think he's definitely the frontrunner, but it's certainly not set in stone. evidence, gossip etc. point to him more than any other drummer, but it certainly hasn't been set in stone.

bloop · « **Reply #4279 on:** March 20, 2011, 03:10:50 PM »

Mangini being at the top of the list =/= The entirety of DTF pledging their souls to the idea that he will be the drummer

dongringo · « **Reply #4280 on:** March 20, 2011, 03:45:37 PM »

Could be someone that's not even on the list.

FretMuppet · « **Reply #4281 on:** March 20, 2011, 03:59:41 PM »

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case...

you only have to look up DT drum covers on youtube to see that there are quite a fiew drummers that can play well enough but i think its the creativity we/they really need as well as a good stage presence!! i still really hope its minneman he looks the most fun

Problem is, if it's someone unknown, it most likely means he's rather young too. I can't see DT bringing in a young kid.

why not? youngins aren't as good?

bloop · « **Reply #4288 on:** March 20, 2011, 05:13:47 PM »

It'd be like the opposite of MP in A7X.

ricky · « **Reply #4289 on:** March 20, 2011, 05:14:43 PM »

so what?

they asked him to join.

edit just like dt asked mangini to join.

Just age difference and the things that come with it. I have auditioned with various bands over the years, and every time there was a significant age difference (to either side), it didn't flow well.

They're looking for someone with experience. But either way, large age difference is always kind of weird.

first sentence = weak point

second sentence = good point.

edit but still neither points towards somebody other than mangini being the drummer.

While that's very possible, and obviously fine, it would make the constant statements of "you guys will understand.....you guys will NOT be disappointed" etc to make much less sense.

Anyone who even mentions Gavin is having a lot of fun in their fantasy world, that's for sure. There is no way he would leave PT for DT, I don't even see it as a remote possibility.

ricky · « **Reply #4303 on:** March 20, 2011, 05:31:18 PM »

lol that came out of nowhere.

but yah, no gavin.

bloop · « **Reply #4304 on:** March 20, 2011, 05:33:37 PM »

Older= assured experience
I would think DT would want to make the more solid choice in this decision rather than the risky one (picking a younger guy).

News: Dreamtheaterforums.org is a place of peace. ...except when it is a place of BEING ON FIRE!!!
