I hope they release videos of each drummer.  I love in the studio/jamming stuff.

Was one of those guys Priester?

Yes.  And I'm genuinely shocked.


Good video, by the way.  But I was cracking up watching it and thinking about rumborak's post.  @rumby for totally calling that one:

You people are unbelievable. LOOK AT THIS AWESOME FUCKING THING THEY GAVE US. For fuck's sake.

No. It's crap.

No, it's not. Get out.

I have a feeling that I'm going to feel underwhelmed regardless of who the drummer is.



I mean, unless they got that kid from The Naked Brothers Band. That'd be worth the wait.

I compare that video to having a young hot girlfriend strip in front of you and then telling you that you'll have to wait until marriage to finally bang her! (not describing a personal experience, though)

It was awesome. I'm sure we'll know who's the new drummer in a week or two.  :metal :metal :metal

I recognized Lang, Priester, Minnemann and probably Mangini and MAYBE Wildoer.

Mangini is the one who threw his sticks in the air.

So is this going to be a full on doc?  Seems WAY to produced for a 3min promo clip for YouTube.  Very well done.

Seeing as DT fans love buying video anything of the band, I bet this turns into a legit doc. My guess is it will be part of a limited edition release of the new album, or you could buy it exclusively at a DT concert.

This is why I don't hang out with Dream Theater fans IRL

Looked like a trailer for documentary.

I thought it was good though. Wonder we'll get to see the next video?

That was kinda fucking awesome. My only qualm was I didn't see a date for the DVD(?) which was promised to us. Doesn't lessen my excitement though.

The video told us nothing new.  It turns out Steve Theater was pretty much right on MONTHS ago.  The video was just a promo vid.  No insight at all was given.  My guess is there is going to be a lot of follow up videos being released.  And more and more will be revealed over time.

Now cue all the overanalyzing of this promo video: OMG Mangini was in the video the longest, at least 10% longer than anyone else that must be the answer!

Aniland

Is anybody else... liking the fact that James LaBrie appears to be the new frontman? I love it.

Love some of the comments on FB:

This drummer hype may be milked for some time. Big deal. Looking forward to how the album will sound.

Man. I'm not so much into that "America's, err, DT's next top drummer" thing I have to say.

Stupid. I joined and yet can't see the video. It says you must join to watch. I'm at my screen " I just did. WTF?"

You have to turn off your "use facebook in https" setting. It's bullshit.


YtseJamittaja

So...

Mangini
Minnemann
Wildoer
Lang
Priester
Donati

But who is that 7th?? I don't know him.

This. It's pretty bad-ass.

As for the video, it felt like a trailer for a reality show. Which is okay, because it felt like Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares for some reason. (The UK version, of course).


Infinite Cactus

I thought it was pretty awesome. I'm pretty excited for audition videos or a documentary to come out of this.

Yeah I would agree with this.  The production seemed solid, I recognized Mangini, Minnemann, Wildoer and Lang.   other guys I was like "WHo?".   WOuld be cool if we could get a definitive list put together of everyone that appeared in the video.

I was kind of hoping form more than just a commercial though tbqh. but oh well. It was something.  Personally I'd likke to see some USA tour dates get posted...  As much as I'd love to fly to Europe for a concert, I just dont have that kind of scratch...


renegate

What were you guys waiting for? This is promo at its best. We'll get to see an indepth look at the auditions. We are incredibly lucky as fans!! They could have just said: "Our drummer is Mike Mangini, alright lets move on!" But no, they're allowing us to share these special moments they had when looking for a new drummer.

I've got to say: Never Enough. As usual.

I don't see it like that. I think it is a original and fun way for us to know who got the gig, rather than a simple press release mentionning 'X is our new drummer'
