Mangini's Distance Over Time live set-up in detail

It's been 10 years since Mike Mangini took his place on the throne for prog-metal titans, Dream Theatre.

In the video below, Mike takes Thomann on a tour of his live rig - which he insists is really "not that much" drums and cymbals -  centred around Pearl Masterworks shells, Pearl hardware, Zildjian cymbals, Roland electronics, Remo heads and Vater sticks.

Find a selection of the gear featured in the video here.

I'm a freelance member of the MusicRadar team, specialising in drum news, interviews and reviews. I formerly edited Rhythm and Total Guitar here in the UK and have been playing drums for more than 25 years (my arms are very tired). When I'm not working on the site, I can be found on my electronic kit at home, or gigging and depping in function bands and the odd original project.
