That wasn't in the discussion at all. They wanted somebody to continue their style, not reinvent it (which was their main complaints with Lang or Donati).

So what? I still wish they picked a jazzier drummer.

i think it's great. I wasn't so sure about Mangini when we didn't know much but speculation, but I think he's a good fit, and am really excited about DT11 oh and...

Mike is a good choice, he should fit right in. I think his maturity fits right where the band is now......the "final" test will be interesting.

I liked Minnemann better with Paul Gilbert anyway.

Yeah I was thinkng exactly that! And yes, Mangini seems to fit better with DT than the others... I prefer Donati, Minnemann and Roddy on their own musical projects anyway.

Can't complain about the choice, Mangini's audition parts were played most accurate to Portnoy style, so he should do fine from technical point of View .  I'm really curious about the new album!

Octavarium I enjoyed, SC and BC&SL were just horrid. More so the latter one. I just wanted a different type of drummer, one that may move DT in a different way which is needed badly. Roddy would've done that  but it seems Mangini is a jazzier type, so that's good. OK enough of this DT talk for me

I kind of wanted Minneman over Mangini as well, but I can live with
Mangini being the drummer. If you watched the video, you can tell Mike
REALLY wanted the job, he was so emotional. I think Minneman, Rudess, and Petrucci are going to be doing some type of side-project in the future EDIT: yea I'm done talking about DT for a while, I'm very glad this fiasco is over with, I can just chill out until the new album news comes around (watch, it'll be something like next week, then I'll never relax )

Well also I really really dont like talking about DT at all.
That's positive or negative.
But as a prog site, and me being a drummer, I had to at least pop in this one.
When ya going to VV bro?

You definitely were not the first which is why I reported your thread.

I usually go an browse, only albums I know coming out are Symphony X soonish and Opeth idk when.
|
Nice, I think Symphony X is in June, and I dont know when the Opeth one is coming out. I know the Neal Morse album comes out May 23 and the KC Projeckt album is May 30, but yea I could spend 4 hours in there just looking around. I try to browse through the used CD racks; which are usually in excellent condition, and I always find at least one album that I would get (last time it was The Tangent - "Down and Out In London and Paris" for 5 bucks or something like that, in perfect condition.) I'll probably go soon, I usually decide to go on a whim, unless there's an album coming out.

All this DT drama is lame.
Just make the damn album already.
Hope it's somewhat in the vein of "Awake" (imo, their best album).

Watching that doc I got the feeling that they were looking for someone that would sit back and do what they're told rather than contribute to the style or writing. I'm thinking we won't see much difference in the next record, Mangini is a great drummer though.
