Damn that was good. If this vid is a couple of years old then I would love to see how you'd tackle it now,,, much more relaxed I'd say, what do ya think, it must be worth a bash?
haha I dunno, I've not gone near it for a couple of years, but my approach would be a lot different, like more profeesional if you get me. I think i was like 14 in this video =P
um yanwich...tool? what is this tool? ITS DREAM THEATER!!! gosh! Comparing tool to Dream Theater is...a SIN honour thy drum god Portnoy! best drummer in the world!
ps. good job, a few little snare jumps in HTF and little things in Stream but a good job none the less
dude, nice job w/ the double kick around 1:20. what kind of kick pedal u got? haha kinda screwed up the china/hats thing around 2:32, looks like u forgot the 1st measure is 7 beats
Nice try.. try doing this again since this is an old vid and see how much you improved.. but this was farly decent.. not meny people can do this.. keep up teh good work
i dont know if its my taste but hitting a lot of cymbals while doing constant double bass doesnt appeal to me, no offence to you but its the simpliest thing to do just going fast and hitting lots of cymbals, mix up some beats then you've got some skills
You dumbshit, thats a very good song, by the way the guys that wrote this songs, went to Berklee College of Music, So,...yeah they are definetely good musicians.
Hell Yeah Virgil Donati is great but he's not as cool as Mike. I like Mike Portnoy as a person as well as a drummer. Dream Theater on the other hand is the best (most skilled) band I've ever heard. Nice drumming Man.
Well actually, Mike Portnoy plays the perfect drum parts for Dream Theater. Doesn't mean that Dream Theater has the best drum parts of ANY band :). I would pick Jason Rullo's playing in Symphony X or Virgil Donati's playing in general over Portnoy's drumming. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy his playing!
looking back on this now, i can say that i completely cocked up 80% of the time :P this is an old video and i would take it off but its so popular o_0 im a lot better now and can do it properly
okay....everyone who has posted a comment saying that this is good....go screw yourselves. basically, you, mapexking, are really sloppy, you really need to work on your technique and stay on time with your fills. basically, you need to improve your drumming before you ever attempt to play Dream Theater ever again. good luck.
frickin a man. would you mind telling me how long youve been playing exatcly? what all lessons did you take? how many average hours a day do you practice? you did vicarious beautifully. you should try 46 @ 2 after that. also, you should find opiateofthemasses on this website (he plays tool covers perfectly on guitar) and make a band with him.
I dont see to many drummers trying to play these kind of songs(that require talent) unlike probley 90% of the emo/punk drummers who plays songs that you dont need any talent to play, but you need to learn that first drum beat in SOC. if i get a hold of a camera ill make a vid and show you that beat. but otherwise, good to see another drummer listening and playing music that is not what all those other idiots are listening too(panic at the disco, taking back sunday,
well ithought id have a go at it i couldnt be arsed with learning tabs note perfect so i listened to the song a couple o times and just played it from memory, my mind is a virtual tabsheet lol
you are a tad late on some of your bass and snare hits in honor thy father. It sounds like you have it goin by memorization? Self taught? Good though, keep it up man.
BUT DUDE YOU MISSED OUT ON THE FIRST RIFF OF STREAM OF CONSIOUSNESS..I THINK ITS BETTER PLAYING THE WHOLE VERSION..6/10..JUDGING BY THE WAY YOU PLAYED IT YOU HAVE'nT READ ANY TAB SHEET OR ANYTHING..ITS ALL ON YOURE MEMORIZATION
hmmm, pretty decent drumming, you can play the song pretty well, but it doesnt seem to have the same feel, i dunno, its a good effort though, u only look young, so its pretty good man, keep goin, you've got the chops!
yo chris i think ur a fuckin arsehole im gunna kick ur head in next time i see u at skool ......ps u r fuckin gay u love nathen allen's cock up ur arse :)
Good stuff champ, you've got great control. I'd like to see you play something with more dynamics to see what you're really capable of ;). Keep it up! The V Series is the best sounding cheap kit on the market so don't be too disappointed ;).
ha i wish, nope just an ol' V-series, had it since i was 6 lol its not done bad at all, thanks for all the comments guys, really appreciated, laters \m/
nice job dude...ive seen alot of drummers on this site...n all they do is do gay ass solos..ur good...u have the right to be called a drummer..nice job on the clean double bass...i give u 10
im a guitarist in a dream theater type band in liverpool england we are called 'prophecy'and i have to say that was amazing and you might even be better than my drummer. keep it up man
i know its a pain, the plastic is too big for the felts to have any effect, so im gettin some new ones soon, also getting some new cymbals and swapping some too.
you're good buy you skipped or simplified some of the rythyms. (like the one at very beginning of SoC) Also where is the increadible fill MP makes in the Middle with cross and toms.
well, it was like the second time ive played it ever so it aint exactly perfect, and i have no clue wich fill your on about lol ^_^
