Best drummer? I would have to disagree with that. Gavin Harrison drums circles around MP, IMO. And as much a fan of Peart as I am, I don't see Neil touching that style of drumming.

A new drummer? any of you hasn't consider that it will be much better with a new MARACAS player?

The result of that experiment would be like this:



Beat that, Portnoy LOL

(out of jokes, these guys are amazing, they should be added in PA)

I immediately think of Virgil D. I will miss Mike, but this is not as devastating as losing Petrucci. Because John has written DT's absolute greatest songs (latest ones being Count of Tuscany, Nightmare to Remember, and rite of Passage).

i just hope it isn't like the liquid tension experiment

that album has good ideas but a 90 minute album of john petrucci and jordan rudess doing unisons NO i could make it through the first 40 minutes maybe but after that it just goes on and on, six degrees of inner turbulence was great just as much of a shred fest but james labrie occasionally joining in and giving us a break

From an interview with LaBrie at Blabbermouth:

"Q: Will you consider using an external producer or will John [Petrucci,DREAM THEATER guitarist] or any of the other guys in the band take care of it?

LaBrie: I think we kind of all, at this point... I mean, that's still stuff that we're discussing. But I think that, for the most part, we've all given the nod to John Petrucci to go ahead and produce. I think that he is extremely competent and he knows exactly where we need to go and what we need to do and how we need to sound. I think he's more than capable of doing it and being in that position."

Bad news. The next album will be a boring shredfest. Not that it's any different from any DT album since 2002 though.

So. much. hate. It saddens me to see all this hate for the band which got me into prog.

Whoever said Martin Lopez is right. He is a phenomenal drummer. Also, I haven't heard much of his stuff, but Rod Morgenstein seems like a logical step, since he and Jordan have a history, and it also supports my idea of DT leaning towards proggier/more fusion-y horizons.
All your hearts now seem so far from me,
It hardly seems to matter now.
