- Drum Solo of Mike Mangini playing with Steve Vai
On April 17, 2002, Mike set the record for Bare Hands of 1,138 Singles in 60. Additionally, on July 19, 2003 at the NAMM Summer Session, Mike went on to beat Art Verdi's Traditional Grip record when he blistered 1,126. Then at the NAMM Winter Session on January 17, 2004, Mike Mangini and Jotan Afanador battled and set TWO New World Records for Matched Grip Single Strokes. First Jotan broke his existing record of 1,165 Single Strokes with a new record of 1,177. Not to be out done, Mike soon topped Jotan's score and became the new World's Fastest Drummer when he played a breath-taking 1,180 Matched Grip Single Strokes in 60 seconds. Mike and Jotan again battled at the 2004 NAMM Summer Session. This time Jotan topped Mike's 1,180 when he played a smokin' 1,199!
Mike then became the 1st person in history to break 1,200 when he set a new World Record playing an ourageous 1,203 Singles in 60 seconds at the 2005 Winter NAMM Session! Mike has truly proven to have the World's Fastest Hands™ !!!
Mike even topped that at the 2005 Summer NAMM in Indianapolis, IN when he played a smokin' 1,247 Singles in 60, thats 21 strokes in a second!!! We know...that's INSANE! - Hudba
The Mike Mangini costume this octopus is wearing is super realistic
Indeed,he is not a man,its inhuman drumminh
😂
This man wrote bleed before it was even a thing, and did more with it
just in a different way
Portnoy fanboys always bash on him, but Mangini was extremely revolutionary in the mid 90's. He really opened a new concept of drumming. Guys like Gartska and Haake owe a lot to him.
@@robertoricci3393 mangini fucking blows porntoy out of the water
@@Conundrums._ i mean it's very subjective sure Mangini is more technical but Portnoy is able to create drum parts that have feeling Mangini tends to feel and sound very robotic in a lot of songs
@Unsere Dreiwolf id take minnemann over any drummer in the world rn thats not the point though we're comparing portnoy to mangini. Mangini is great on albums where he's a studio musician with a bunch of other studio musicians he shines in that aspect, but with a band that has years of chemistry and they have a feel for one another he doesn't fit as well
THIS is a drum solo. Polyrythms, odd time signatures, dynamics, ostinato... What an amazing drummer, impeccable technique...
Yeah i can totally play this hold my beer
Hey guys ;)
Wtf are you sure?
@@AestheticBoi-sh1rn lmao
More like hold my bread Lmao
Mike can literally play this while he holds your beer
Still one of if not my most favorite drum solo, in history of drumming. Groove, humor and mad chops.
AGREED.
indeed. crazy good
Saw this live in 2K on the Vai tour. If it wasn’t happening in front of my very eyes, I would not have believed a human could play what I was hearing. Before this, Lars Urlich was all Id seen on video as a metal drummer (so you can imagine the shock to the system once Mangini started heating up)
Totally agree.. as a drummer my self, drum solos are actually really boring me to watch, maybe because im not good at it and have no burn into it but this solo is different, this is what it need to drum solo to be entertaining
Agreed with this and the other replies. MM seems like a nice guy, too. He spent a good amount of time after the Ultra Zone show I attended explaining the "freehand" 1-handed snare roll technique to me.
It’s 2023 and this is still my go to drum solo to show people. It will never get old.
It is in fact an ultimatum!
Are you shitting me this is greatest drum solo af all time . He was doing atomic blasts with one hand over 20 years ago before anybody else was doing it !
This is the kind of composing he should be doing in Dream Theater. This would make them regain the legendary status they once had.
He did give us “The Alien” now :)
I think Dream Theater is just tired and old.
Mangini looks tapped out. Just plays a lot like Neil Peart now- very mechanical with no feel.
Sometimes you got to step into the next chapter and hang it up!
Nice to see someone else gets it. I'm thinking this for the longest time; they took this Rythm Grandmaster Wizard, and kept using him as a session drummer.
Well it's over now, wish him all the best.
onde la viste pue
Every drummer that plays odd signatures and polyrythmics knows that feeling of the fight and the lockup between the brain and your left and right side. As is illustrated in his face and muscle movements starting around a minute twenty. Mike is clearly fighting the internal battle of timing and separation and wins. The holy grail to drummers we all aspire to achieve but few do it like this man..!!
Amen. He's achieved things we never thought was possible. Strong minded and hard worker for sure!
You're trippin' if you think he's fighting any kind of battle here. Like any great drummer, he had already practiced this shit to death before he ever brought it on stage. Any faces he pulls are for show or emotional expression, not him struggling.
Jarzombek and El Estapario Siberiano have this kind of limb independence.
Hes ambidextrous
2024 Checking in. Still my top 5 drummers of all time. My favorite drum solo performance 🔥🔥🔥
he played whole metallica discography in less than five minutes
29 dislikers are probably his neighbours
😆
Nah, Portnoy fanboys...
Dude you typed this 8 years ago holy shit.
141 now
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy was playing it in the late '80s but the technique is so futuristic that even up to this time is hard to beat.
Im pretty sure it was the 2002 steve vai tour.
It was Vai ultrazone tour, a 1999 album so this has to be early 2000's
My favorite Mangini Phase.
Mike is incredible and he seems like such a nice guy as well.
I can just hear his mother saying..."don't you boys know any nice songs?"
IT WASN'T VERY LARGE IT WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM TO CRAM THE DRUMS IN A CORNER OVER BY THE DODGE IT WAS A 54 WITH A MASHED UP DOOR AND A CHEESY LITTLE AMP WITH A SIGN ON THE FRONT SAID FENDER CHAMP AND A SECOND HAND GUITAR IT WAS A STRATOCASTER WITH A WHAMMY BAR!!!!!!
@@izzy32324 all we did was beat the skins like.....
"We have children sleeping here!"
4:22 You can spot the exact moment he popped his Ultimate
Sounds like a damn machine gun xD
One of the most musical drum solos I've ever heard.
One of the LEAST musical drum solos I've ever heard. Also, one of the most technical.
he's really mastered the technique of a musical technicality that is technically musical music
Holy crap, holy crap is someone who has been a lifelong rush, fan and loves compositional, drumming and solos. This one is just incredibly stellar. I will be listening to a lot more Mike Mangini.
Watching in 2020...and this is ABSOLUTELY the gold standard in drum solo performance. He is a stellar showman and an amazing person.
Polymeters on top of polyrhythms? Jesus Christ.
where?
Around 1:50.
To each his own, but I hear a 6-note pattern being played within a 5-tuplet distribution of notes. This is all happening while he is playing quarter notes.
WHERE? Cripes... Everywhere!
Hyper Quantum how can there be a polymeter if it is just one person playing. Is there something I'm not understanding?
one of the best drummer of the world.
This HAS to be one of the greatest drum solos of all time. It's up there :D
at 0:14 he plays bleed from meshuggah. not bad for 2002.^^
r u serious?
I think this might even be from the 90's
@@Anaximander29A yes
@@Pleurotus Between Late 1996 and 2000.
I was there. It was 10th of April 2000, Warsaw ;) I'm a drummer now :P
I love that he's one of the few drummers that can actually show how much fun they're having while playing. He is the best drummer to ever live
Let's admit, this is the one thing that Chuck Norris can't do
Ahh, 10 years ago.
This comment is a time capsule
2011, you were funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love comparing Norris to everything. Good one. Even 11 years later.
Call me crazy, but i listen to this in bed before falling asleep
K so this is weird, I'm doing that literally right now.

Batteur avec une technique de dingue, un jeu d'humour avec le public et avec des déplacements hors du commun! Un des plus Grand de notre histoire...
who's here after 66samus' reaction video?
oh yurr
Ohhhh yurrrrrr
Not only one of my favorite Mangini solos, one of my favorite solos of all time!
One of your 300 favorite solos of all time, right?
I so love that Neil and Mike have almost completely different means of expression, and yet taken together, have somewhat similar levels of drumming skills.
Still one of my favorite solo's to watch....Saw Mike in a clinic in 1998 and he has been my favorite drummer ever since. Such a showman, fun and friendly person. Very cool and so so smart....one of the top 5 of all time in my personal opinion!
Anyone still watching this in 2019? Just watched it twice in a row.
I could watch it avery day, once of my favorite drum solo, killer performance, and acting haha! Like watching a movie... I appreciated way more Mike in these days than I am today
Me
2020😮💖
June 2021 for first time 🤤
I saw Mike with Steve Vai on this tour in Sydney. He did this same drum solo. I'm a huge fan of Vai but this solo was the highlight of the concert. It felt unreal at times - an unbelievable combination of skill and talent. It also sounded better live, video doesn't do it justice! Rock on Mike, you legend!
I heard he was running auditions and Dream Theatre joined him.
This guy's pretty good. He should join Dream Theater.
What universe have you been?
@@zenoniations It was clearly a joke
Fax!!
He should even join Steve Vai
Lol he did in 2011 or end of 2010
Still one of the coolest drum solos of all time.
No es humano, es una máquina!!

@@slayer8273 Bastard you need to use Google translation and stop bitching ..Mangini is a God..that's all he wrote lol
@@slayer8273 fuck you
Insanity!! Brilliant insanity!!
He drink Castrol Oil...
High Mileage
if it was call of duty everyone would call him hacker
OMFG, that just brought me back 10 years!!! Ty!!
@superkai64 :-----------D
He only has a good gaming chair
I heard some Bleed in there! Woah!!
Except that this tour was around '99-2000... way before bleed :P
I know right! Hence my surprise xD
Holy Devil Mike mangini was the one who originally came up with the beat for Bleed in one of his solos in 98. Thomas haake used the same beat in bleed several years later.
Holy Devil I don't think he plays the whole beat in this particular video only part of it not sure what time though just watch it again lol.
Drum Hunter I just couldn't catch it lol.
man there are places here where it sounds like he plays some polyrythm from a known song and then he goes AND ADDS A THIRD RYTHM TO IT
man's a machine, just a drum machine with a human body attached to it.
Most drummers are calculated, the kind of kids you went to school with that excelled in math. Many Mangini fans know that he graduated from college with a degree in computer science. He is not only a fast drummer, but he is fast with numbers. If you want to be like Mike, stay in school!
I love when he goes apeshit at the end, i must have seen this video a dozen times and it still amazes me every time.
IM WATCHING IN 2020...still amazed. Saw him at a clinic in 98 and again in 00...he is amazing STILL!
Anyone else see him miss the left symbol at 2:59, he looks up to see he's hitting the top and not the side, quickly changes where he's hitting it. And then hits it a few extra times for good measure. What a man.
I'm pretty sure he would miss the top if this was intended to. At least we know how accurate the man can be
Those Polyrhythmics though!
Those polymetric polyrhythms though...
Hyper Quantum I know right?!?
+Cameron Pearce amazing!
I love Mike Mangini!!!!!!!!!!!! What a monster player. Those crossovers are simply amazing.
maintaining multiple tempos at once, super impressive
2:37 every time I see this video this part always blows my mind out. No way he can do it with one hand!!!
Honestly, I think that Mike Mangini's playing is sort of boring and tasteless (my personal preference, he's surely very talented), but those one-handed rolls are just fucking bananas.
that's what she said
@@metalfan2346 no he's not lol...Aaron used Gravity blast technique
@@tingachhakchhuak6083 mike too
@Aa Vee in fact they are two talented drummers, the smart thing is to not compare
I love his smiles as much as his drumming, true character and performer! Also still a very very talented drummer.
And this is the result of practicing EVERY SINGLE DAY, SEVERAL hours a day and a proper practicing method. Of course passion and desire to be better. Hats off to Mr. Mangini, a master among masters.
He seems to be producing more sounds than his hand and feet movements would indicate... just stunning!
"the only thing that is difficult in this solo are those one handed rolls he was doin"
Funny because I thought those were the easiest things rhythmically. :b
I believe the independence this guy was showing is extremely difficult. Not to mention the last part where he plays those toms and does the crossovers. It may not sound like much, but if you listen closely he is playing a bass drum beat IN BETWEEN each of the tom hits. It is something similar to what Jojo Mayer does.
oh well still impressivwe drumming and really difficult. he doesnt seem 2 stressed about it but he did like 3k base hits ;D
8 years ago tho. yea idk how tf he does the 1 handed rolls tho like does he just use Moeller or is he muscling thru it or both either way wtf
@@efafe4972 nope its a special technique where u bounce the stick on the rim. You can see tutorials on yt ;)
@@rollingfrequencies3340 Gravity blast?
That's the one part of the solo that I can actually do how is it the hardest part
I've been watching, sharing & LIVING off this video for over 12 years! TYSVM for putting this up! 👏❤️
This is when he played with Steve Vai. I saw this tour and everyone in that band was a complete killer. I remember meeting Mike after the show at the merch booth and chatting about his books in this vid and thinking to myself "this was the dude that was in Extreme?" so talented!
sounds like the intro riff from the mirror @1:18.. looks like mangini already knew he would become the drummer of DT back then :)
This has got to be the bravest drummer alive. I always find myself watching this solo every few months. Awesome!!
My jaw actually dropped when I saw this WOW. The one handed drum roll sweet
What a great choise of drummer for Dream Theater. :)
3:47 When you take 2 vitamin gummies instead of 1
Stunning. Fun, too! He's a fantastic polyrhythm, a great showman.
One of the best drum solos. Just incredible
One of my favorite drum solos. No one can even touch his stick control.
all time legend performance
Solo el puede dominar asi las extremidades !!!!!!!.....alto batero!!!!!!!
QUE DOMINIO!!!!!
One of my favorite drum solos!
This is a prime time of Mike Mangini he can't portray the same energy in Dream Theatre now..
That single stroke 😳
The sad thing is, his drums seem to have a better tone here than they do in DT
snso9smwmz skiosmssms his drums sound like garbage here and in DT. Mike Portnoy > this tool
@@DTistehroxors How the fuck are you going to call Mangini a tool after all the polyrhythmic prowess he demonstrates here? You can prefer portnoy, hell I do, but youre such a little bitch about it. Mangini plays at a technical level that 99% of drummers will never reach, and you think he's a tool because he replaced your precious portnoy. ANYBODY could have replaced him and youd refer to them as a tool,fucks sake man. Can you just not admire a mans chops?
@@DTistehroxors man shut ur goofy ass up
@@DTistehroxors 🙄
@@spudmagnum7394 99% is a bit adventurous. You think 1 in 100 drummers will reach this skill? More like Mangini plays at a technical level that is practically impossible to aspire to
This video has been seen 636,075 times, I think that is the exact number of times I wathced it before it was on CZcams. Great video!
I love unexpected videos that blow me away!
Aun no entiendo como hay gente q dice que le falta carisma en DT o que le falta algo...
3:23 i fu*king love his smile!!!!!!!!!
I watch this nearly 20 years later, and his independence still blows my mind just as much! Sick!
The ones that give it thumbs down don't know sh×× . The coordination, energy, timing , and the beats that he was throwing is really, really technical for a drummer. It is almost impossible. I am a drummer myself and this drum solo most humans can NOT do even with practice. And the one handed drum roll and switching hands and not miss a beat. Haters that don't know need to move the F on.
Who hurt you..
I love Portnoy, but all I can say is that Dream Theater chose another kick-ass drummer 💙
If someone had to replace Portnoy, I'm glad it was Mangini.
i know right, people just can't let go of the past. Portnoy was amazing. Phenomenal. Unmatchable in terms of feel. But people complain about Mangini even though Mangini is really the only logical choice for the band. He brings that technical prowess, insane skill, and personality that every member of the band shows. People bitch about Portnoy leaving and refuse to enjoy anything new and that ruins their experience. I love both MP and MM era dream theater, and I'm excited for what they produce next. Mangini is a perfect fit for the band
@@ArcherWillowsHaven't heard a single great DT song with Mangini. BC&SL was their last great album.
@@HenritheHorse Well that's your opinion. I love A Dramatic Turn of Events, Distance Over Time, and there are some great songs on Astonishing and Dream Theater too. It's all up to personal preference, but I still thing Dream Theater's been doing great for a metal band of a bunch of almost 60 year olds
@@ArcherWillows Totally agree. Folks need to realize that Portnoy left and Dream Theater had a HUGE void to fill. It's almost as if they expect DT to just stop after Portnoy left. Mike Portnoy moved on. Mangini is absolutely the best choice and has a very charming personality. I just saw Portnoy live (Chicago area) last week with Transatlantic. He still is absolutely phenomenal!
not human
Best chops of any rock and roll drummer ever
This is the greatest drummer who ever walked the earth. He may be an alien.
mike portnoy created 121 fake accounts to dislike this
That was Lars.
Both are excellent drummers .
LOL...okay you win! Best comment!
Stil 121
flaf0 in fact mike portnoy likes mike mangini a lot. Know the lil things before you hate
He should teach Lars
Mike ain't got no time for that! Lars would be like, "uhhhhh, yah like, I'm the drummer of fucking Metaaaaalicka dood so like, I don't need your help"
Saulo Arcoverde Why would he? That seems pointless
Forget Lars...the Hammett needs all the help...what shitty guitarist and to think,he took lessons from Joe Satriani...Joe has to be like...NOT MY FAULT. That guy had to be the worst guitarist in history to make it famous if you play that shitty after lessons from Satch.
James Zelazny jr Wahhh wahhhh you're gonna cry?
@@shellrox2878 Heheheh waahh get it? Cause kirk hammet
Really unbelievable.....instantly my favorite solo on YT. Whatta monster Mike is behind the kit.
What an amazing talented drummer he is....Thumbs up
em velocidade ninguem ganha mike mangine
there's a dream theater quote here
Joey fans should have a look at this man. This what a real drumming machine looks like.
How have I not seen this yet??? And I've been listening to dream theater for at least 15 years
This guy is incredible! Dream Theater should join him.
that's a great comment. Awesome!
i love 0:00-0:23 the most.
it is harmonic.
I’ve never heard such great foot pedal dynamics in my life
Most musical polyrhythmic drumming I’ve ever heard. Epic!!!
Year later, Dream Theater drummer. from this to THAT.
gotta pay the bills
This was in 2002 bro
To all the Portnoy fans…. I’m one of them, please notice this man behind that throne, quit being rude, PUT SOME MOTHERFUCKING RESPECT ON HIS NAME…. No other drummer would have been able to technically fill in for Mike Portnoy, but this man can. And this man has done just that for almost 10 years now
This aged well hu?
Portnoy fan boy here.
MP is back in DT in case you haven't heard
I was sat in a pub yesterday and a live recording came on their playlist and I instantly knew it was from this tour
I seen Mike do that solo at a Steve Vai concert. He is an insane drummer. Absolute loo la! Genius! Amazing! 😅👏🏻
I bet he knows when he's rushing or dragging
Not quite my tempo
1:00 !!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!! HAD A CHANCE TO MEET MIKE WHEN HE WAS IN MEMPHIS!!!!! LOVE THIS!!!!
Was watching some drumming, my chest swelled in that way only music makes it. With that I thought "I got to watch that Mangini solo, been to long." This was the solo that hooked me, still does. 🤘🤘
