Dream Theater- Strange Deja Vu Drum Cover

[danlc95]

Beautiful technique! Like ya 10x more than Portnoy!

[makdrumz]

So stiff and not technical BUT awesome overall. Just loosen up and let the groove drive you and you ll be great bro. Many likes.

[TitaniumXT]

I really love the drums for this song and you done it perfect! Very well!

[noconflictbanana]

The chorus is really difficult, and u nailed it!

[MrMaidenARG]

Sometimes I had the sensation you were playing a bit rigid. But anyway, great cover dude. Keep up the work!

[budwayz]

@Fanis753 Or if your a beast you play singles all the way through

[portnoy256]

Hi, great! I play this song live with one of my past DT cover band: there are some strokes you are missing that you miss and make that little magic a fan can appreciate :)

See you.

(let me know if you you want some hints to play this song more similar to the original)

[polishcomedy]

@portnoy256 that would defeat the purpose of him playing a cover. A cover should not be an exact replica.

[portnoy256]

of course you are right but the overall execution seem to follow the idea to replicate as best as possible the original. Anyway the original Mike Portnoy in his learning DVD (Liquid Drum Experiment and others) play some passages in different way than the original :)

[Redurj]

Portnoy, I'm sure, never plays a song the exact same way twice.

[portnoy256]

@Redurj -> it's really so! :) In fact in the DVD Video he play some songs in a different way than the CD. I remember some important differents strokes in "Paradigm Shift" and "The Dance of Eternity" for examples, but maybe I notice little differences because I study these songs veeery very much years ago... too much :(

See you!

[dragoondelta]

[bebop900]

I love your playing, don't particularly like the sound of your bass drum...Souds floppy or something.

But a great cover none the less

[ExtremeSkippingFan]

dream theater covers is what we need to see more off, the timings and the skill it takes to play these are just insane! Nothing more needs to be said, AMAZING.

[poryon2]

That was beautiful. If Mike Portnoy saw this he would be proud.

[diaphanoux]

niicceee!!!

[mattiadrum]

[Xantt666]

Holy CRAP! man that was simply great!! keep it up, and please more Dream Theater!!!

[mavster666]

man!! I've watched all your vids, I'm glad you are a Dream Theater fan, why don't you try to play paradigm shift of liquid tension.

[Blindvisions1]

Great job man!! Gonna see if I can get some stuff on my channel at some point. Gotta ask though. Do you turn the sound down on your camera when you record to stop it distorting? Just wanted to know. Great work!!

[avediz17]

Please dude I want a tab..Awesome

[Neregal2]

woow amazing!!

[Larz9220]

[connaB24]

Great playing, one of the better performances I have seen.

[HomesliceDrummer]

Awesome bro. The part where it goes into the alternations between the ride and toms in that first bridge at 0:40 was hard for me to figure out how to play. You do it well. Nice job!

[TheKeeby]

[3012024801]

ok ok .. :D nice for the aaz XD but... wheres SoCAI ??? im from colombia

so .. well started drumming 3 years ago .. (one of those, with no teacher Y.Y cant find any1 who can teach me .... can u teach me ? XD)

[diddilitli]

Here's a tip on how to become a much better player. Begin by releasing every last bit of tension from your body. It only takes one tension in one muscle to ruin a number of moves. Sit with your back straight (be aware of your body at ALL times) and keep your drumset in reach of your arms so you don't have do stretch much. Also, play with intention, ie. play what you intend to play.

Hope this has given you insight into drumming, it sure helped me becoming a much better player. Im self tought

[jam406]

I want your kit man :(

[AlexMitti]

great job dude. nice setup
