the part where you play the Dance of Eternity with one hand, the snare part...that's sick! do a full cover of The Dance Of Eternity sometime! I'm sure it'd rule!
dude he has a tripple kick:its 2 kick pedals hooked up to a top hat which when playing one kick you can set the rotary shaft to use the second kick at a set time while using the top hat. so that should describe it
lorl: you, sir, have no fuckin' idea of drumming. many drummers use that bass drum pedal to allow them to do a fast double bass drumming while using the hi hat at the same time.
vadrum is a master for all us drummers, I wont say hes the best drummer in the world, but dude seriously there are so little drummers in the world that can actually play as good as he, so it dosent really matter if he is actually playing on a playback, cus he did miss some things of the original songs
but, of course his biggest influence IS, in fact, Neil Peart so it's kind of obvious how they are both considered the greatest...I mean, Mike is the only metal drummer inducted into the modern drummers hall of fame, he is also one of the youngest(Neil is the youngest...I think?).He is really living up to his influence.But I still say Neil is the greatest.although Mike is still The second on my list so nobody have a cow...or some steak...or pork...
Correct me if I'm wrong but the drums do sound Exactly like MP's. Exactly!. Now Im not saying he's not playin' it perfect... I just dont think we are hearing the actual sound of VAdrums' drums. Does that make sense. ?
if there was a drum battle between this guy and Mike Portnoy, i think they would make the universe explode in a fiery ball of...drum because of their combined skill...
but seriously, Mike portnoy would totally kick this guys ass...no offense or nuthin, your still good, just not as amazing as MP
Ha!That's quite possibly the most mature reply on youtube ever...if I would have said that to anyone else they would have threatened to slit me and my family's throats because people are stupid.Thanks for having a sense of humor and stuff...and things...
wow man that was amazing nice job! i was just wondering how long you have been playing because im thinkin im gonna start practicing the drums but i want to see it its even worth it.
bud, i would recommend you play , it doesn't matter how good u are or how long you were playing, I've been playing for 3 years now and i'm no good but i don't care i love it!! its all about the love for the instrument and the music, if u enjoy it do it!!!you won't regret it!!
This WOULD be Liquid Vadrum Theater is this werent just straight Dream Theater... :P The Test That Stumped them All is Dream Theater. O unless he does some Liquid Tension Experiment covers too! :P In any case, nice man! :D
Tantissimi complimenti per le tue esecuzioni di batteria, dalla prima all'ultima...Quando ho visto la tua batteria durante l'esecuzione dei pezzi di SuperMario,qualcosa mi diceva che ti dilettavi coi DreamTheater, questo video me ne hadato conferma, e mi hai lasciato davvero sbalordito, la tua bravura non passa inosservata! Complimentissimi ancora!
El audio es de las canciones, pero él lo está tocando realmente como puedes ver. Y es muy preciso en tocarlo todo tal cual como en las canciones originales. El audio que oyes no es de su batería, es de la de Portnoy. Esto puede tomarse a mal pero, realmente es impresionante que VaDrum ejecute con esa precisión una pista de batería que no es de él.
even though vadrum is a wicked good drummer, when he does medleys like this one he doesnt use his drums sound he covers it with the real drummers sounds. i want to hear what it really sounds like
He probably just mixed togheter a bunch of songs with some program on his comp.(This is not one of DT's songs, which is pretty evident being a medly).
I dont get it , when u are in a level with dream theater u can play , and I have never seen him in a "famous" band . He match the greatest drummers and still not in a famous band , Dont get it...
he also has an effects pedal that makes his drums sound like that song and he may not want to be in a band i think he is more of a solo drummer who just likes to jam or play for fun rather then play with someone unless they were a cover band i dont think he likes playing his own stuff
Una delle cose che ti rende migliore di tanti emuli di portnoy (al di là della tecnica sopraffina) è il fatto che non sei uno stoccafisso ma "vivi" le canzoni. Complimenti.
the MEINL Cymbals sound way better than the Zildjian ones that you use in alot of your videos. MEINL are my favorite, wider variety and better overall sound. Especially with Chinas, Hi-Hats, and Crashes.
and besides, portnoys kits sound different throughout various albums. NONE of them sound the same. You cant change the songs, and change the album and the sound of ur kit at the same time haha
ye i have their whole discography, 20 albums i believe. they're my fave band. Stream Of Conciousness go to around 9 mins I LOVE the solo so much LOVE it!
As the video of Metallica, the drums are only Mike Portnoy's... He doesn't even have mics to record his drums. He just recorded a video of him playing. (Look 2:30min)
Of course he is playing with the audio (mikes drums included). He is playing everything note for note so give him that. It's really hard (i.e. impossible) to get Dream Theater songs without drums! So he's doing it this way. If he did have the songs minus the drums (by maybe hijacking the studio or kidnapping MP and stealing the stems) the video clearly shows that he would be able to play the drum parts. The trick there would be trying to mix it down to make his drums sound like MP's.
