Mike Mangini Hi Hat Bell Use

Here s a demonstration of how some of the bells on these hihats on this kit are used Dream Theater s upcoming A View from the Top of the World release. I ve used parts of the hihats on recordings since the early 90 s. However, the way they sound in a room is different. Especially to me. Here, you can hear how dynamic the HiHat bells can be. The beat is a takeoff on a yet unreleased song. This video doesn t include the vast array of Step HiHat uses as I have weaved into every album I m on since the 90 s.
