Dream Theater Announce New Drummer

04/29/2011
. (Rock AAA) The long running saga of the mystery of Dream Theater's new drummer has finally come to an end. In the third episode of The Spirit Carries On 'soap opera' that has been drawn out on Youtube the band finally whittled the field of seven down to two � Marco Minnemann and Mike Mangini.

In the latest video episode, Mike Mangini makes the anxious call to Dream Theater HQ to find out if he has got the gig. As he punches in the number he says: "This is awful, just awful, just say it� don't put me through this."

As the call is answered, James LaBrie takes the bull by the horns and puts him out of his misery. "Obviously this is one of the most important decisions of our career. I'm sorry to have made you wait. None the less we have some news for you. We'd like to welcome you to the family."
