He has some good fills going on here. Look up kai hahto or jade simonneto for more amazing drumming.

EDIT:This guy unnatural at executing polyrythms wow.

Man, Flo Mournier is far more impressive than this guy.

Also, Buddy Rich shadows over them all. bye

The whole notion of how relxaed he is is quite impressive.

I don't understand if people actually enjoy this musically, but I do have to say he is skilled.

I can listen to drum beats all day long.

I think Rubix only found this because of that other thread where he was proving something about humanly possible jacks.

Nice technique, where's the musicianship?

Great thing to like, add on to a DVD for a concert show, but not really good for actually playing at a live show people paid for.

ITT it's the same how guitarists can show off a new solo in between songs a drummer can do the same.

P.S. Vai kicks ass, which means anyone that plays with him kicks ass.

Actually I've always been a fan of Mangini -- I was just reminded of him during that thread and went to bring him up.

That piece isn't the best "musically," but that really isn't the point -- I linked it primarily because of the technical skills he shows. Personally I think it sounds fine.

Re: Steve Vai Solo (intense drumming) -- Mike Mangini

Agreed with Spinal. First related video is Mike pulling off 1203 drumbeats in 60 seconds, which is the same vid Rubix linked to when proving some random ODI guy was using double setup.

I guess it's only impressive if you actually know how to play drums and can appreciate that kind of technical ability. :/

lol are you kidding me? Both of those drummers are confined to their respective genres. This is why Mike Portnoy is an incredible drummer, because he can play just about any style.

Re: Steve Vai Solo (intense drumming) -- Mike Mangini

Well, I was being facetious, so calm down. =p

I didn't even watch the video, but from what everyone is saying, he's extremely fast. I was saying that Flo is faster than most.

Also, I agree with you on Portnoy.

Well the video is only a demonstration of speed. You can't judge his whole playing style based on that. Surely with all that practice he MUST have learned musicianship.

Re: Steve Vai Solo (intense drumming) -- Mike Mangini

Again, I didn't watch the video, so I wouldn't know. I'm sure he's a phenomonal drummer.

Re: Steve Vai Solo (intense drumming) -- Mike Mangini

i saw him play at a free drum clinic at a music shop a few years back. went with a few people from marching band.
he played a 30 minute drum solo it was amazing. i almost creamed myself.

Re: Steve Vai Solo (intense drumming) -- Mike Mangini

if you think its boring go in to about 2:30 thats where his speed starts

Re: Steve Vai Solo (intense drumming) -- Mike Mangini

I havnt actually tried to play drums, but ive messed around on a set. I know its friggin hard to move limbs independently, let alone keep a beat. That was incredible technique, if somewhat lackign in a solid beat.
