Excuse the laziness.... have to get up in 5 hours for work...again!!!, so didn't have time to read 12 pages comprehensively Anywho... it's deff. the MM bro's. Like someone stated, and I'll second. Mangini is more spirited, while Marco might be technically more sound. That being said.... I'm more impressed with Mangini as an overall "Better fit" for the band. I was actually rather dissapointed with Lang, yes, I know we only saw the edited clips, but thought he would be in the mix. Donati... I dunno, he struck me as NOT a good fit chemistry wise, it just didn't seem like it came naturally to him in that regard, so forced.
The one shocker, and honestly dissapointment, was realizing they ( JP and JR) want a drummer who will play note for note parts emulating MP. I was hoping for a fresh perspective, to enhance MP's parts in songs yet put their own spins on them. After watching it a couple times, that's what I took from their demeanor and actions.
