Just sounds like he's accenting every 3rd 16th note & filling in with double strokes - ala alternating 5 stroke rolls - and just bringing his right hand down on 2 & 4. I'm just hearing it as 16ths & 32nd notes. But that's just my interpretation. Hopefully one of the transcription wizard ...

I love this video. The cymbal catch section floors me every time. Never seen anyone do anything like that before. Very cool.

Yeah, the K Custom Special Dry definitely doesn't cut through very much. I've got one. Amazing cymbal. But definitely a very 'jazzy' ride. I would recommend a K Dark Medium Ride. I've got a 22" (pretty sure there's a 20" version too) and it works perfectly in a lot of different situations....

I've heard Carlock has moved to Nashville and I'd have to say he's a first-call drummer anywhere on the planet that he wants to be.

That song has got to hold the record for most notes ever! He was blowing pretty much the entire tune. Impressive, yes. Didn't dig the tune at all though.
I did laugh when he went into the blast beat.

Mangini has the Dream Theater signature trademark symbol on his drums already, in that picture-- the greek letter "phi". I don't think that would be on there unless he already got the gig. That's Mike's signature Pearl snare drum. It's always had that symbol on it - way before any of this...

Loved these videos. He's a fantastic player!
Thanks for sharing.

Mangini interview with Modern Drummer. Talks about his monster new set up. Four bass drums?!? Crazy.
