The rumor mill is churning overtime about Mike Mangini. I heard some inside info that “it” is happening. You know what I’m talking about… I’ll put up another post when it’s official.
But the real updates…
Check out these vids. Not sure how I didn’t stumble across them before now. I have also added the following content as an addendum to my post “Mike Mangini Clinic 04.09.10” so that it’s all in one place.
Mangini Freight Train Vulcan
This is a helluva lot more face-ripping when you’re a few feet away from it, but you get the point.
Expanded C&C Limb System
Text from the video:
EXPANDED C&C: This video clip demonstrates the non-stop switching of 24 different limb pairing combinations.
In every combination, one pair is playing XOXOO and the other pair is playing XOXOXOXOXX.
Switching limb pairs on a dime with no break and without repeating any 4-limb combination is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to learn.
The purpose was to help me rebuild my balance strength after knee surgery. It is not meant to be a musical thing; it is purely a mechanical exercise.
The 24 limb pairings are:
(LH/RH) + (LF/RF) (LH/RH) + (RF/LF) (LH/LF) + (RH/RF) (LH/LF) + (RF/RH) (LH/RF) + (LF/RH) (LH/RF) + (RH/LF) |
(LF/RF) + (LH/RH) (LF/RF) + (RH/LH) (LF/LH) + (RF/RH) (LF/LH) + (RH/RF) (LF/RH) + (LH/RF) (LF/RH) + (RF/LH) |
(RH/LH) + (RF/LF) (RH/LH) + (LF/RF) (RH/RF) + (LH/LF) (RH/RF) + (LF/LH) (RH/LF) + (RF/LH) (RH/LF) + (LH/RF) |
(RF/LF) + (RH/LH) (RF/LF) + (LH/RH) (RF/RH) + (LF/LH) (RF/RH) + (LH/LF) (RF/LH) + (RH/LF) (RF/LH) + (LF/RH) |

Hey man, how sure are u that Mangini is the new DT drummer? Was it a very reliable source? I really wish it leaked, I’m dying to know!!
Patrick says
It was a reliable source, but I haven’t heard anything more. I would think if it was happening it would have been announced by now. I guess we wait…!
DTFan says
Yeah, well they’ve just finished the writing process now and are starting tracking, so they’ll have to get the drummer in soon even if he wasn’t there for the writing sessions, so hopefully we’ll know soon, but I won’t hold my breath!
