The Mike Mangini Thread (Thanks & Farewell)

[Progmetty]

Welcoming the amazing Mr. Mangini to the DT family!
Somebody posted a few videos of great MM solos/performances in the two big threads but I couldn't find them again today, please share MM youtube videos you found and we'll discuss it.
This is MM on Time Warp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Gxut0odyc pretty cool.
I love that guy 

[Progmetty]

Found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um24wnmC3xs of MM previous band, it's actually good.

Picked "Cool, whatever". Minnemann was a lot more fun to watch behind the kit and Jordan mentioning the pure joy he exuded as a positive reflects that. It was more important to find the one who fit in with the band's writing process better so excellent on their part.

[tri.ad]

I'm definitely happy with DT's choice. He seems to be a great fit and a really fun guy.

[dongringo]

I'm extremely happy with DT's unanimous pick of Mangini. He is not only a phenomenal drummer, but a fun and positive guy. Seems to fit like a glove.

[FretMuppet]

SO ENERGY

POWER!

[Zydar]

He was my top favourite after having watched the auditions, so I'm very glad and excited about them picking him.

Yep mine too.

Only minus...He wasn't the one wearing a cookie monster shirt.

[Big Crouton]

I've been hoping for Minnemann ever since I heard Portnoy left, and it was cool to see that he was almost chosen.  I'm sure mike will be a great fit for the band, but I suspect that he will more or less be a Portnoy replacement, whereas Minnemann could have brought something new and exciting to the band.

Anyways, I went with "Cool, whatever".  Mangini is a solid choice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQTBtkB_mWQ - pure awesomeness during Annihilator's All For You recording sessions... that last fill is just... I don't have words...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00GXRzoJbiI&feature=related - another pure awesomeness during one of Mike's clinics, just before DT auditions. Check out especially 2:12.... that one hand...

I'm happy of DT's choice, Mike is a great drummer, I think will fit great into the band. And I think he also is more technically advanced than Mike Portnoy, which in my opinion isn't the most important thing (as I always say that the most important is right chemistry in the band), but that's for sure not a bad thing

[tartarus250]

i would like to have seen him use this kit at his audition

And I thought MP's kit was huge, this just makes it look very small somehow..

Posted in the last thread so reposting here, the essential Mangini solo

I really dig the groove at the beginning. Hearing something like that in DT would be pretty neat.

Edit: Holy crap @3:09.

[IdoSC]

I want this fucking awesome eye contact and presence in live shows so bad.

Welcome to da familia

[gummyfish]

anyone else surprised by the enthusiasm and showmanship he exudes while drumming? didn't know much about him prior to audition footage, but it seems people griping about the lack of stage presence resulting from MP's departure can put their fears to rest. this guy's fun to watch

[Super Dude]

I kinda want to email him to tell him welcome from a DT fan.

[tri.ad]

I kinda want to email him to tell him welcome from a DT fan.

Make sure to tell him about this place if you do it.

Mike Mangini has been one of my favorite drummers for many years. i am so stoked that he is now in my favorite band.

Check out some other band/projects he ha s been in This one is called Tribe Of Judah.
Gary Cherone - vocals
Steve Ferlazzo - keyboards
Mike Mangini - drums
Pat Badger - bass, vocals
Leo Mellace - guitar
the band was put togther after Gary Cherone left Van Halen in 1999. Tribe of Judah was very cool band. Mangini had some killer drum parts, at time it may sound like a drum machine but all parts are played by Mike. I have a VHS tape of them doing a show in Boston.. he just blew my mind

"Left For Dead"

a recent drum solo Mike posted last year

Does Mangini have an official twitter?

[Super Dude]

Or a Facebook?  (I actually made a Wall Post to JLB's FB asking this, but what are the chances he'll get back to me?)

By the way, a quote from his official website:
"https://www.facebook.com/MikeMangini for my personal posting about dt."
Do you guys see any posting about DT in his facebook page yet? o-o

Freakin cool! I love that he's consistently having fun with it. In all the videos; he never looks dull or normal at all, always enjoying it to the maximum!
I really hope he keeps that vibe alive for the DT years

Posted this is the other thread that seems to be pretty done so reposting here:

Mike Mangini, The most intense and powerful live drummer I've ever seen joining my favorite most intense and powerful band, dream come true!   

Now we can expect a lot more of this kind of insanity... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1-8j9zhdOE 

[Tick]

I thought putting Mangini's name in a thread title meant a temporary ban?

[Dimitrius]

Fuck yeah I'm happy!!

[JasonScandopolous]

That was only for the first couple of days, whereas anyone who cares enough about spoilers should really have seen the documentary by now.
