From Mangini's FB: A new drum kit, as well as a revamping of one of the kits from last tour are in the works for 2014. It really is a huge amount of planning and trial and error, but worth it. Easy stuff compared to not having the support and incredibly friendly and helpful people at Pearl to step it up again and again. By just digging in with hard work, all aspects of everything just keep getting better. It is nice to smell the roses every now and then. The feeling will be carried to the stage.
I fucking love his enthusiastic positive attitude!
