90 MINUTE PROGRAM
45 MINUTE PROGRAM

Part 1: apprx 45 minute drum solo in 3 parts. Section 1 is a time establishment section building in dynamics, and introducing sounds one at time. Section 2 is a foot ostinato with a hands solo that uses one kit sound at a time and builds to the faster hand moves. Section 3 is an Otto section designed for flashy drum moves that hopefully transition well from one to another.

Part 2 : After appropriate "thank you" 's, Mike describes the gear he used, and takes questions on it. He accompanies some answers by playing either with an IPOD track or solo to further enhance his instrument choices.

Part 3: Mike fields all other questions. He speaks about defining terms and understanding human nature in order to connect his philosophies to the reality of gaining success in the various environments a musician would perform in. He gets very specific about everything from hand & foot techniques, to techniques of storing information in the practice room. Often accompanied the IPOD, Mike usually gets bombarded with great questions and plays apprx 3 songs in between all the fun discussions.

Part 1: More of a multi-drummer clinic approach, this solo is apprx a 25 minute one in the same 3 parts as the 45 minute solo.

Part 2: "Thank You"'s and a brief description of the gear and how to find out more about him via www.mikemangini.com.

Part 3: He plays to 2-3 songs depending on answering a question or not.
