When Mike replaced Mike.

It's an interesting story if you don't know about it.
Jump to 10:00 for Mike Mangini's audition to replace Mike Portnoy
who left the band Dream Theater very unexpectedly in 2010 .



Here they are in 2014

I met Mike Portnoy in Albany once. Nice guy.
Thought he was the shit until I saw Neil Peart play in Boston.

Have you seen his 8 part pandemic break tour of his
massive album collection ?

Yeah. He has a lot more grey than when I met him.

The stick video reminds me of the drummer of my original band. He does that all the time.
Drives me crazy.

I have a drill bit propeller* that works good on
anything - cardboard boxes- too fast to count bpm's.

*( just tape a chop stick -size stick onto the drill bit)
Wear safety glasses !

Nicko was a big influence on both Mikes.
