When you talk about the top drummers in rock music, and especially prog rock/metal, Mike Mangini's name is absolutely certain to come up.  When you're part of arguably the biggest prog band in the world, you come with a loads of skill and credentials.  And when the biggest prog band in the world announces a new tour with top level artists like Devin Townsend and Animals as Leaders, it's a VERY big deal.  Mike spent some time talking with me about his approach to drumming, touring, and he drops a few hints about what we can expect to see in these very exciting shows.
