best drum solo I ever saw was Mike playing with Steve Vai on the Ultra Zone tour. He basically played a swing beat and added stuff in, but kept that swing beat going the entire time just adding more and more inbetween. So cool.
@@jocefianrama Funny that you mention that because back in maybee 2002 or 2003, I saw Dream Theater in Boston and Mike Mangini joined Mike Portnoy for the drum solo too. I liked Mangini's solo with Vai because instead of making it full on show off time, he did everything with a beat. It was rather creative and unique that way
In my opinion because it's too hard...this version sound nothing like the studio version I'm serious...he skipped all the brilliant and difficult stuff (which make this track interesting to me) This was poorly played. And I have a very high opinion of Mr vai
Its hard indeed, take me a very long time too play it good... But I think that if Vai played it more he could play very better than this one... he plays tender surrender a lot and its just at same level
mike mangini makes so hard to play these song on drumms...... he plays very diferent of the album version!!! such a talented guy!!! awesome perfomance of steve vay here!! why he dont play the song any moore!!!
so it was disappointing...if you go listen mozart at the opera house you wanna hear all notes and cry of joy...the same should apply to steve vai...but nope! Much respect for him though
