Mike Mangini spank fest

I'm sorry but this is terrible and unmusical.

shouldn't he be wearing one white glove while he's playing?

I respect the technique he's aquired over many years of practice but, he just doesn't do anything for me.
I saw him at the 'Montreal Drumfest' and i walked out after 20 minutes, his solo was repetitive and unmusical. Sounded like a lot of masturbation to me, sorry.

Was he playing castenets with his feet?

Had to watch this one to get the taste out of my ears....

Wow, those drums sound like POO! I've heard better tin cans! And these are the new Pearls!?

Mike is a great guy and VERY good at what he does, but I agree - lacking musicality, unless he is playing flight of the bumblebee which is pretty amazing (on his site). His clinics and solos are 98% technical demonstrations.

Mike is a kind, thoughtful guy and one of the most skilled drummers alive. He sets a benchmark for polyrhythmic control, speed and interdependence. He just may not be your idea of what musical is.
