My drummer friend and fellow fan of Dream Theater called me and told me to look up some of Mangini's stuff on youtube.
HO - LY SHIT!!!!
I can certainly see why he got the job.

edit: 1138 beats in 60 seconds!!!!!!!
I was saddened by the departure of Mike Portnoy. I've been lucky enough to meet him and can say that he is a genuinely good guy. He is also a friend of a friend. I wish him the best of luck with his new musical adventures and I will likely be a fan of some. (much like the beloved Liquid Tension Experiment and Transatlantic projects)
However, I do not think I will miss him too much in Dream Theater. I'm am sure his bandmates and friends will miss him in that capacity, but my anticipation about Mangini's work overcomes it from my point of view. I think he is more technically skilled than Mr. Portnoy perhaps. I am curious to hear his influence on the songwriting. I think all he did for upcoming album is lay down drum tracks though.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed to be able to meet him next tour. I would like to thank him for his hard work and get some liner notes signed.
