Hmm. Mangini is a terrific drummer. But Donati also. Tough choice. Guess Mangini had an advantage as drummer for LaBrie.Chris Monk wrote:Just been announced that Mike Mangini is Dream Theater's new drummer. Good choice but I'd have gone for Virgil Donati, he's a great drummer and composer also. Can't wait to hear DT's next release. Should be good.
Very much looking forward to the new album. Disappointed Donati didn't get the job, he's written some great pieces of music, but Mike Mangini is more than adequate.hansx wrote:Hmm.

Yep, and there was also Marco Minneman, who is really a great drummer. Also in the Eddie Jobson group.Chris Monk wrote:Very much looking forward to the new album.

Progressive titans Dream Theater have announced the title/release date of their new album. Check out the press release!
(New York, NY): The recent announcement that Mike Mangini would be joining Dream Theater, replacing departed drummer Mike Portnoy caused such fanfare that Mangini was a trending topic on Twitter, second only to England's Royal Wedding. Now, the band is revealing more information about their upcoming album. The new album is titled A Dramatic Turn of Events. The much-anticipated platter, which marks Mangini's recorded debut, will be released via Roadrunner Records on September 13th and will be supported by a massive world tour.
"I'm incredibly psyched with the way this album came out and can't wait to share it with everybody," guitarist John Petrucci, who also serves as the producer for A Dramatic Turn of Events, said. "We are currently in the mix stage with the great Andy Wallace and it's all sounding amazing!"
"We have poured our hearts and minds into the creation of this album," keyboardist Jordan Rudess offered. "All the life changing events that surrounded us before, as well as during the whole process, fueled our desire to dig deep within ourselves and create the best music we possibly could."
Vocalist James LaBrie said, "In the grand scheme of Dream Theater's career, the last several months have been such an incredibly positive, fulfilling and rewarding experience. The new songs and sound has never been so spirited or rejuvenating. I cannot wait for every one of our fans to sink their audio senses into this batch of tunes."
The track listing for A Dramatic Turn of Events is as follows:
1. On the Backs of Angels
2. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
3. Lost Not Forgotten
4. This is the Life
5. The Shaman’s Trance
6. Outcry
7. Far From Heaven
8. Breaking All Illusions
9. Beneath The Surface
