Here are the two screenshots from The Dance Of Eternity in Cubase:

Very interesting. I particularly like how you labeled the respective parts (Meshuggah, Country etc).

[kartmaze2]

Haha, that reminds me of a tempo track I tried to make for a symphonic version of The Count of Tuscany. Wasn't perfect tempo, but not too bad...

[Nic35]

What a coincidence! I'm not feeling particularly well today either.

I imagine if DT had a gigantic fanbase, these events would have a huge impact on the world's economy...

I love it!

[dvargas]

Just based on demographics alone Mangini is the obvious choice. Northeast, Berklee, age, etc.

On top he's got the attitude and skills. 

I'd be very surprised if it is not him. 

[FlashCE]

I don't get the love for Mangini. He's pretty much just Mike Portnoy imo. Nothing special, nothing new.

[Aramatheis]

3 hours! Time to sleep a little bit before the big announcement..

NEW DRUMMER SOON!!!!

[LTE3]

Working 10-5 tomorrow. Going to try to watch it on my phone on my lunch break. Hopefully the 3rd episode is also around 20 minutes...

I am leaving work at lunch time to go to Barnes and Noble to use their Wi-Fi, I will just be sitting there with the shit eating grin on my face. I am 46 and excited like a little school girl.

That's awesome, haha.

Unfortunately, I do not have the same luxury because I live in a somewhat small town. I'm just hoping someone or something doesn't spoil it for me before I watch the episode (even though I already believe its gonna be Mangini).

[Metabog]

Everyone ready for the Royal DT Wedding?

[Aniland]

[IdoSC]

[Jamesman42]

Someone post who the new drummer is in the DTF Facebook group please? I can check FB while I am working..

[Blackfield]

It's been confirmed by many sources the drummer is Mike Mangini. That was also implied by Derek Roddy yesterday. They gave the guy the entire first episode! I don't see how it's not Mike Mangini, that would be strange seeing the way they have set up this entire documentary, and to take account different sources saying it is him. But I will watch this last episode with an open mind!

[Jamesman42]

He had the last 8 minutes of the first episode. 10 if you're generous.

[Ramsey]

The Royal wedding AND the finale of the DT drummer auditions on the same day? I'll be the Illuminati is behind all of this...

Yeah, I'm pretty excited but I'm with the majority here who think Mangini got the job. I'm ok with that as he looks to be a pretty solid fit musically and personality wise. I was pulling for Donati early on but once I saw a bit of his audition, I knew Mangini would be a far superior fit. Virgil actually seemed a little flat to me, not the usual virtuoso powerhouse we've become used to.

Seriously, it's probably all an Illuminati plot...

[SystematicThought]

I agree with what someone posted earlier. They didn't show Mangini play TSCO. I think they'll be like, 'Welcome to the family' and than they show Mike playing TSCO.

God, I am so excited for this!!!

[Blackfield]

It's a little bit weird actually. We've waited half a year to find out who the new drummer is and today it's finally happening!

...or is it? 

[SystematicThought]

I actually just can't believe that it's been 7 months since Mike left. It feels like yesterday

[jamhet]

What's everybody's favorite bit of the videos so far? Mine is definitely Lang's jam test. He's amazing.

Mangini's one-handed snare intro to TDOE while twirling a stick with the other hand

Didn't Roddy play that bit with one hadns as well? I'm sure they showed him doing that too.

[Wildoer]

Haha, that reminds me of a tempo track I tried to make for a symphonic version of The Count of Tuscany. Wasn't perfect tempo, but not too bad...

Woooow, cooooooool!!! Lots of work there.   

Peter, mind posting the swedish version of the diary? I can't wait to read it! 

I know only a select few will read it, but lol.. so EXCITED!!!

WE SO EXCITED!! ... we gonna have a ball today

The swedish version will be posted exclusively in a swedish magazine first so I'll have to wait. Hopefully I'll be able to post it soon.

EXITED!!!!!!!

1 hour and 46 minutes...

Peter, hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of inserting those CuBase screenshots into your initial post where you had originally meant to insert them.
