MIKE MANGINI Shares Drum Clinic Performance Of DREAM THEATER's "Outcry" (Video)

Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini has shared a new clinic video along with the explanation below:

"This version of the Italy clinic contains the album track to 'Outcry' by Dream Theater, with my drums on the recording and here live. To hear just the drums, which is a tough thing in matching the album exactly lest I get flams, which you'll hear when I start. I'm hitting very lightly for the room and situation. see the sister video here."

"Outcry" is taken from Dream Theater's 2001 album, A Dramatic Turn Of Events.

Mangini, world-renowned as the former drummer of Dream Theater and Extreme, and a distinguished Berklee College Of Music professor, unveiled his highly anticipated solo project on a recent episode of The Mistress Carrie Podcast. He talked about his split from Dream Theater, recording his solo album, theories behind his playing, songwriting, and more.

On his departure from Dream Theater

Mangini: "I don't think about the future too much. There are things that are out of my control and things that can change for the worse, or better. This is happening (the split with Dream Theater) and everybody's in the place they need to be. The situation made sense to me when I heard it in that... 'Original band member going back to a band.' I get that, and that is literally it. That's everything. A decision was made that I understood."
