Wait, so there's already been an installment on this thing?  I thought it was a single documentary that was coming out later.

Anybody want to fill me in on exactly where everything stands right now?

Look at the "what we know" thread.  Scroll down to today's update in the first post.

They released a promo video of the Doc and they released the first 20 minute section today.

Awesome video! Hopefully the next album will have a DVD w/ the full unedited audition of whoever joins the band.

How many sections are there, and what's the schedule?  For that matter, where are they to be found?

I love how Mangini no-sayers love him now.

I mean, what's not to love of that performance?

You know, I have to say, if the others are done similarly, this is also great P/R for the 6 who didn't get chosen.  I'm sure that by the end of this, all 7 are going to come across as the great drummers they are and as great guys to have in a band.  So far, the doc is very well done and is painting everybody involved in a very positive light.

Wow that was so cool. Mangini seemed to have a really nice time playing with the guys. I'm curious to know if JLB was talking about Marco when he said "He was the most incredible. By far."

Only two more episodes left :caffeine:

Definitely. They indeed played with some of the best drummers in the whole industry. This documentary is gonna be amazing.

No, I think he says "That was the most incredible.  By far."  Not "he."  James could have been referring to anything with that comment--the audition as a whole, one particular part of it, etc.

I really was digging Mangini's vibe as a person.  He was as entertaining to watch as he was to listen to, and he seemed real genuine.  +1 for him

Mangini came off as TOO showy. Nothing wrong with being showy, but he looked like he was trying too hard

Just posting what I said in another topic. Might shed some light

QuoteThis time next week we may know who the drummer is. I asked RR via twitter what the schedule is...

There are three total and we should get through all of them this week.

True, he was rather showy.  However I feel that in this situation you've gotta put it all out there.  He's gotta make himself memorable not only for drumming, but for being a good showman.  Just my opinion, though.

To me, a big plus is just how genuinely excited Mangini seems to be a part of the DT family.  He seems to want it bad.  That's important to me, as a fan.  He's passionate about joining us in DT world.

That's possible but on audition he played just a little stiff and without grace.  :smiley:
Ok, I'm waiting for Minnemann and Lang :tup

I agree with PLM. However MM looks really excited about this.

And we're all so fucking horny! (musically speaking...)

Got to watch the first installment and I have to say it looks really good.  Seems like it was really well done.  Definitely a lot better than what the promo video made it look like, which is really exciting.  

I thought Mangini was awesome.  I liked his personality a lot and his outlook.  The guy was so intense and so detail oriented.  I was really impressed and I love how much he was into the music.  He really looked like he thoroughly enjoyed the audition.  I would have fun watching him on stage for sure.  At this point, I don't care who the new guy is, because I think all of them will probably fit DT well enough.  It really just depends on what the guys want at this point.  I'd def be OK with Mangini!  :tup

Absolutely can't wait for the next installments.  Can't wait to see all the other drummers play!
