Guys, incase you haven't seen this yet.

I didn't realise we'd have this so soon.

For all those suspicious of the content, it's not what you feared.

I invite you to watch...... it's fantastic stuff.

There was already a thread on this. But definitely excited. Can't wait to hear their announcement.

Great vid, thanks! Mike Mangini is sure passionate about wanting the spot. Can't wait to see the others

 

[Sticky1973]

He does seem very very driven, in a good way. Sounds a nice chap, too.

I can't wait either, clearly from the reaction of the guys there, there's some special drumming yet to come.

I love it!

 

[guitfiddle]

Mike can certainly play, no doubt about that at all. Awesome.

 

[joe web]

the video is killer! hope that we can see the next parts very soon.

 

[savannah_sean]

awesome...a reality show that's actually about something interesting!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

awesome...a reality show that's actually unscripted!

Sean, how's that? heh heh heh

 

[jptortor]

This will be really interesting to watch! Mike Mangini was really great. I can't wait to see Virgil Donati's audition!

 

[browndog]

That was excellent.

I hope they’re all going to be 20+ minute long videos as well.

Awesome video, it is actually relieving my fears about the future of the band seeing the behind the scenes stuff.

 

[Sticky1973]

Yup, a really well put together documentary I reckon.

The new stuff they threw around for the jam sounded brutal, I love it!

Makes it easy to remember the "new guy's" name when it's the same as the "old guy" lol. Hopefully that doesn't prove to be a curse.

 

[colinboy]

Enjoyed that video looking forward to the next part of the auditions.

 

[Tung]

My bet is on Marco Minneman, then Virgil Donati, in that order. My two favorite drummers out there right now.

Just finished watching. It really is so awesome that DT is doing this and letting us see this. Very very cool!

Mike Mangini seems like a perfect fit and has an awesome attitude! Definitely curious to see how this plays out.

 

[jbhafner]

I've read somewhere that Mike Mangini is very gifted mathmatically, and obviously rhythm wise too. His signature snare is based off the Golden Ratio, for goodness sake!! He seems to gel with the band. Obviously, if I was a musician in a band of that caliber, I would want to know about the new guy's consistency as a player and also bad habits, if any. NO SURPRISES!!
