What bothers me while listening their discography on random in the car, is that the recent drums could be so much more groovy with another sound and louder cymbals !
I would like to hear mangini playing on a spongy drumkit and more cymbals.
On the albums sometimes the drums are so dry and clicky sounding it could be use for a fear factory album (like toms notes differences are barely audible).
On D/T CD version cymbals are not loud enough to do their work putting accents and groove.
That bothers me as a musician and because I think that's why people say mangini can't do the portnoy
Sadly, as good as was the live show in february, seeing scenes from a memory played, the drumkit balance was 80% kick drum, so we didn't get to hear much...
