New Dream theater Drummer

[daulton]

Does anybody know if Dream Theater found a new drummer yet or did they let Mike back in the band?

I thought they picked up Mike Mangini.... Right?

Yup, Mangini is in.

Yep, Mangini is the new addition. He is a monster on those drums! It's amazing all the top level players they had auditioning! These are the seven most amazing players who auditioned for this position:

Aquiles Priester (age 39) (ANGRA, PAUL DI'ANNO)
* Peter Wildoer (age 36) (DARKANE)
* Marco Minnemann (age 40) (KREATOR, NECROPHAGIST, EPHEL DUATH, JOE SATRIANI)
* Virgil Donati (age 52) (PLANET X, SEVEN THE HARDWAY)
* Derek Roddy (age 38) (HATE ETERNAL, NILE, TODAY IS THE DAY)
* Mike Mangini (age 48) (STEVE VAI, EXTREME, ANNIHILATOR)
* Thomas Lang (age 43) (JOHN WETTON, ROBERT FRIPP, GLENN HUGHES)

Congrats to Mike Mangini!

It will be interesting to hear what he brings to the DT mix!

I thought Portnoy was the point of the band. What happened?
