Go out and buy THEIR music and the other albums which they are on(Virg, Lang, Mangini and Minneman) and then you will find where the differences are.

But I like Thomas Lang anyway...
I've got a question...
Why would Pearl put such a shitty sounding video on thir site? Their trying to sell the "sound" of their drums...so why not get a better mix? The video camera mic audio is an insult. It's not that hard to set up a pair of mics and sync the audio to video later. 12 year olds can do that now. Sheesh!

Please don't compare 'Virg' and 'Marco' to 'MM'...

It's the first time I see/hear Mangini. And I don't want to completely judge the guy by this clip...but I just wonder what is he trying to do in this solo?
This sounds like raw rock soloing chops, but maybe he's doing more complicated stuff than I perceive...(stick in the mouth?)

Yeah I like how Thomas play on his album "Mediator", I will post some track if you want, you will be surprised...
Also I must admit that when I know the person, my opinion can to change, otherwise when I hear all these incredible drummers, I just hear some noise like in some big factory...
Just my opinion, no offense to everyone who could be fans of one of these drummers, I have a lot of respect for all the incredible work done.
And as drummer I'm really nothing compare to them.
But as for Thomas is a sweet cat, it means a lot for me.
But you know, taste and color...
All right.
The first part of that, he was
showing off his one-handed roll,
which you all can do, with just
a little bit of practice.
He likes to show off his physical
ability. Sometimes, this is not
received as 'musical'. I can und-
erstand it.
V is right. He is remarkable. He
just may not be everyone's cup of
tea - compositionally and I inc-
lude myself in that camp.

Mike Mangini = Muscle, not Musical.
BUT - I do have some tracks he played on with James Labrie and Nuno Bettencourt/Extreme that are leaning towards the musical side... so I think my conclusion is that I much prefer him in a band setting, where he is forced to be somewhat musical - not a solo drum setting where he is forcing himself to be purely technical. Like I said, he sure is good at what he does!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Coulcn't agree more Rodge. I can understand a 14 year old kid loving what Mangini is doing, but this stuff is just that, adolescent.Quote:

Billy Cobham did this stuff thirty years ago but musically and MUCH more physical and violent, more BALLS. I can listen a BC solo even now and even though he goes for it, it's not as half assed as Mangini's solo.
Mike obviously digs himself.
