  • Unreal You are an Awesome Player!

  • I still think that you're the one that should be there, man...

  • Top notch playing 

  • The way you play reminds me of a young mike portnoy! :)

  • What is the 'Custom Rancan Sheung bell'? Sounds very peculiar. Cheers.

  • wooooww !! men i saw you in the videos of the audition of Dream Theater and let me tell you that you are awesome ! I'm from Costa Rica ! i have a question ! what kind of hi hats are those ??

  • Dammit I didn't want a top comment here. Downvote that shit. Right. Now.

  • In my humble opinion, if you were 15 years older, you would've gotten the gig. Not to say Mangini isn't a great musician. But I believe age played a role in DT's decision. They wanted someone within their generation so to speak. Anyways, you rock the socks off of spock!!!

    Stay Metal.... lovin' it.

  • cool.. in fact all of them are cool. :)

  • Einfach nur unlaublich!! Perfekt!

  • Damn you're good!

  • something tells me that in the not too distant future, we'll see the DT guys do some little side projects with Peter, Marco or Thomas.

  • @Dieterbe that would be pretty awesome. I can imagine Jordan, Peter and Petrucci doing some pretty sweet suff.

  • snyggt spelat Peter! :D //Emil

  • cool!!!

  • Great job!!! Did DT provided the backing tracks?

  • Greetings from Colombia. Mr. Wildoer I have a question. Which one would you recommend between the MB10 hats and the Soundcaster hats?? I'm a black metal drummer, and since you use meinl cymbals it would be great help for me to know which one to buy, specially if you recommended it. Thanks in advanced.

  • great! I was amazed by watching u on documentary! from a huge Dream Theater fan!

  • Wow, i admire the fact that you use Benny Greb's signature Ride. You don't really see any Metal drummers using any kind of Greb's signature material just because they don't like the jazzy, vintage sound from it. Props to you, Peter, and great job on your audition!

  • Good video, I haven´t words to explain this video is amezing

  • Peter Will Do Her LOLZ

  • Your incredible man.

  • You're great! Really...I enjoy your playing... :D

  • Good job!!! Only thing I noticed that the transitions didn't sound as smooth, it seemed a little broken & rushed. Hope you don't mind the constructive criticism... ... ... I wish I could only play like that over all. Hats off to you for even making it to the audition. Keep up the great work!!!

  • Peter. Incredible! You are simply one of the best on the planet!! Period! Cheers from the US.

  • Damn Peter!!! If only I could steal that amazing drumming ability that you possess! Kind sharing some of your god powers with me??? PLEASE!?

  • blast beatsen i slutet på nightmare är helt insane, så jävla coolt. jag höll mina tummar för dig! skapligt grymt det hade vart med en svensk trummis i dt

  • what is the cymbal beneath the china? used around 8.50 as a ride. cheers

  • @AirsoftTommy It's a 20" Meinl Byzance Vintage Sand Ride (Benny Greb signature).

    Cheers, Peter

  • @Wildoerfaren big thumbs up to you, for being an epic drummer, but also actually active on youtube!

  • What kind od cymbal are you using at 7:48?¿ I think is China Generation X, but it seems like 2? Sorry for my english, jajaja Regards!

  • Hey Peter, what paddle are you using in this vid?

  • is the stack to your left two filter chinas?

  • Glad the guys in D.T. to give you a chance to shine. That's some pretty intense rhythms. WHOA!!!

  • your great man!

  • Whew! D A M N !!!

    Extraordinary Practice.

    Well Worthy of Playing for Dream Theater I Think.

    You are a Missing Link to a Great Band Somewhere 4 Sure!!!

  • muuuuuuch better in James Labrie last album...

  • That is what you call fucking shit......on opposite day

  • Amazing Man!

  • yeah i wanted to try out too, it sucked they didn't have an open audition. but im glad mangini got it, i think to learn the new album and record it in the time he did would have been very very tough. not to mention learning other songs in the same time.

  • 7:33 to 8:14 most coolest shit ever. awesome job.

  • what it's funny is MP isn't technical like this guys that auditioned but they seem to have a hard time playing portnoy's parts hehehehe!!! MP rules man!...they look like stiff to me!

  • Excellent Drumming .Keep up the great work

  • You made John Myung smile, you are one of a kind.

  • @gandalph915 not only smile. You also made him talk

  • I don't like DT but seeing you playing drums is always a pleasure. Excellent work. You're one of the reasons I started playing drums. Cheers!

  • what time sig is that groove in the beginning in, after the cymbal accents

  • very cool, 2nd time watching and am impressed of course. This song must of taken YONKS to get down.

  • I'm diggin' that china dude. What is it?

  • Fuck yeah dude:D nice one,

  • Far better than Mangini.

  • @nhl22222222 why? have you seen the full Mangini rehearsal?

  • Remember, being the drummer of a band like DT, is more than just playing their songs. You need to actually be able to write drum-patterns like portnoy does. Playing them alone isnt enough.

    Well played though dude, only critique from one drummer to another is the stability in your hands, feels a bit wobbly here and there.

  • Awesome.

  • god damn you are so good it hurts why do I even bother

  • @AnthonySarrio peter is very great drummer and i love him but i dont think that he would have been the right man for this job. its not his music... listen to static impulse from james labrie, this is more what he is like.

  • awesome brother!! greetins

  • Fuckin' awesome job, peter!!

  • *Groupie comes along* ''Whos taking this babe?'' ''I think Pete Will do 'er'' :D

  • Think that DTs music is extreme & complex? listen to Richard Andersons album Time Requiem from 2002 where Wildoer plays the drums.

  • I can't imagine having to learn all of this. Amazing.

  • Peter, for the love of god, post a video on how you tune your drums!

  • Comment removed

  • The drums have an excellent tone, well done.

  • mangini is a better drummer than you...italians always do it better hahaha

  • great job bro

  • Myung had a crush on you. Keep it up. you're now in my Drummer Gods list

  • 11 drummers were out before they go to the auditition

  • i would have made my splash lower

  • Amazing dude!!!!!

  • The stuff at like 9:30 on is SO cool!

  • otro monstruo!!! lindas ideas!! muy eclíptico desde grooves hasta blast beat!! otro innovador!! felicidades Pete!! desde Paraguay Sudamérica!! 

  • Respect.

  • Hey Peter!

    Awsome playing! Lookin' forward to listen to your future projects.

    I have a question regarding the kickdrum-sound in this video. What head are you using? what beaters, headtension and what kinda mic is that? I love the sound of the kicks!

    Thanks alot!

  • voce é foda mesmo cara trabalha muito bem em tudo que faz parabens sou teu fã

  • I'm listening to Demonic Art while writing this. Fuck DT, Darkane rules

  • @alejandroulrich Fuck you, DT rules.

  • Peter...you should have gotten the spot in DT...no doubt in my mind. All of your works have shown the diversity in your playing. I cannot wait to hear the next release that you play on. You are by far my biggest drumming inspiration today.

  • Well, at least he's still with Labrie's solo project

    \m/  Stay Metal \m/

  • Peter Wildoer drumheads giveaway!

    youtube[dot]com/watch?v=CJw-8k­XBRjI

  • mangini got the spot. you mad? :)

  • @RandyRhoadsIsAwesome suck my dick randy roads is the most overrated guitar player along with penny dimebag gtfo general "metal" guy

  • @raff2112 ahahah a simple "yes" would have sufficed

  • Sounds exactly like the studio versions, man, you were totally my first pick for that drummer spot !!!

  • that was totally awesome. it's unbeliable that some can pull off

  • that was totally awesome! i can't believe someone can pull off dance of eternity. so amazing!!!!!!

  • I LOVE YOU MAN!

    

  • Bravo! I think all who auditioned are fantastic. Thanks for posting this!

  • I just wanna say... peter wildoer is the best...

  • effortless=great technique

  • @Wildoerfaren Congrats

  • wow! you are great! wonderfull playing..

  • i LOVE your snare sound :)

  • I want too see the thomas audition

  • wildoer, you're as good as minnemann. it's about time you'll find a kickin' band mate and make history but first, you gotta move to US

  • 4:44 FUcking coooooooool :O

  • HOW COME I DIDN´T SEE THAT BEFORE???

  • I loved your DT Audition Peter,

    You are definately 1 Of the best metal drummers in the world.

    The Spirit carries on was a great doco,

    Yourself, Marco, Mike, Virgil & Thomas are all unbelievable drummers,

    I hope a big band picks you up,

    Maybe Metalica - to get rid of that hopeless Lars Ulrich,

    But you are on a far superior level to them anyway,

    All the best.

  • PEter the great

    

  • To be honest I didn't know you before you went to the audition. but you're definetily one of my all time favourites now. keep impressing me.

  • The audition of DT completely disrespectness. DT members satisfied their egos due insult drummers. Especially, Aquiles Priester. He made a mistake, just a mistake, but the video seems like Aquiles is worst drummer all over the world. Anyway, Peter has been deserved to join this band.

    A door closes, thousand of opens.

  • @maarcnylmz for me, Aquiles is great , but he didn't satisfy the criteria for DT .

  • @maarcnylmz

    What you're saying is bullshit for two reasons:

    1. It's bullshit.

    2. It's grammar fail.

  • @Niekpas1

    thanks for your comment mr. labrie

  • @maarcnylmz

    I'm not sure if I should feel flattered or not right now.

  • @maarcnylmz I can assure you that DT didn't mean to "insult" any drummers. I have met them all multiple times and they the most humble, down to earth musicians I have ever met. They don't have an "ego", nor do they need one. They are all mature, grown men who have been playing music for the vast majority of their lives who have hundreds of thousands of fans. DT always likes to go the extra mile for their fans, and that is why they made the videos of the auditions public.

  • @maarcnylmz

    Dream Theater is just widely known for being one of the most talented bands all over the world. The documentary just proved that they have the might to make pretty much anyone look foolish, but it wasn't their intention. After all, DT themselves said over and over again, that those seven drummers ARE the world's greatest drummers. The fact that, say, Aquiles Priester seemed weak at the audition, it's just our perception, not what the band wanted to show.

  • @maarcnylmz Are you kidding me? I thought they were reeaaaally respectful actually. And im not fanboi and a drummer myself. They always had something positive to say about everyone.

    Of course you cant compare a drummer like Mike Mangini, uber technical, fast and proffessor at berklee college, with some unknown brazilian power metal drummer. Yet I think they did it respectfully.

    I really get why the chose Manginil. Good drummer and a very nice personality. Aquilles shouldn't have been there.

  • It would be great if DT posted the full videos of the auditions. 7 amazing drummers and their very own interpretations of Portnoy's creations, plus their unique ways of creating music.

    Thank you Wildoer for this videos, you are incredible! Congratulations

  • @andrenicodemus indeed. I could watch that footage for days.

    Especially the glimpse of Thomas Langs interpretations ask for more.

    speaking of interpretations, from the DT footage I had the impression Peter played it nearly 1:1, but this video shows he tweaked several parts.

    Anyway nice of you to share this Peter, even dispite some inaccuracies and the barechestedness, many people would refrain from releasing such videos, but it definitely is cool footage :) and you played it very well.

  • amazing playing on the cymbals, actually unparalleled in melo death metal

  • Good stuff Peter, keep up the nice work, you really are a very good drummer!

  • u have to reherse for an audition? lol

  • @jackthedrummer96 He needed to know all the songs perfectly, obvius he had to rehearse...

  • Wow!!! Great job!! What's the name of this song?

  • veramente noioso,batterista fotocopia di chissà quanti altri,ma d'altronde neanche Portnoy era originale!!!sempre le stesse cose,gli stessi fill,i soliti groove...ecc.Che noiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • What makes me proud is, even those that lost out in this audtition, they respect DT enough that they worked so hard simply to try out.

    Props to them all. Esp you, Wildoer. I bow to all 7 of you.

  • You did an amazing job Peter, I love the way you play the songs, by adding your pesonal touch, Congratulations from Argentina

  • amazing!!

    

  • you did an awsome job on the autition!!

    you're a freakin' pro!!!

  • Thank you very much for posting. Great job. Greetings from Colombia.

  • That double pedal is freakin' awesome

  • friggin awsome! peter u rule!

    

  • Great stuff Peter! Thanks for posting this. Awesome playing,no surprise there :)

  • what are you doing with your left hand in 3:13?

  • @OnlyOneBite He's playing ghosts on the smaller snare to his left. Just filling in the gaps between the accents with 16ths exactly as he was doing on the bigger snare before.

  • @Fishy1618 oh cool , thank you

  • Просто шикарно))))

  • Hey! Great drummer and a good person! Hope you get the best for yourself, man! Seems you deserve it :) Didn't know much about your work nor about your character, but it doesn't take too long to recognize the good people and their hard work. Best of luck to yourself and your carreer!

  • Even though he didn't get the job, his audition has brought him to more people's attention. He's a great player and he'll still benefit from that audition and the hard work he put into it despite not getting the job.

  • amazing

  • An amazing and humble Drummer!!! \m/

  • You surprised everyone!

  • You did great at the audition! Amazing person aswell...

  • Skall jag vara ärlig så visste inte jag så mycket om dig innan din audition med DT och även om jag har hängt med sedan Majesty dagarna så har jag hoppat över JLB's soloprojekt...

    ...fram till nu!

    Static Impulse är en riktigt frisk fläkt och håller en snuskigt hög musikalisk klass och att du blev handplockad till en audition med DT känns ganska självklar så här efteråt.

    Riktigt kul att se att Sverige kan leverera lite supermusiker med både visioner samt den ödmjukhet du verkar ha!

    Skitkul!

  • i cant stop listening to JLabrie's Mislead. Peter is God! kEEP on Rockin, Buddy!

  • This guy should have been the chosen one!!.... I'm sorry but Mangini sucks for my drumming taste! Besides, this guy uses TAMA!.......

  • @incaroads80 TAMA 4 LIFE!

  • Great footage! Nice to see the indepth preparation, a window into a musicians life! ROCKSOLID drumming!! No wonder you'r top 3..

  • I really appreciate you posting this footage. It's very exciting for drum nerds like myself!!!

  • i dont like how he plays the dream theater songs ..

  • Haha, du borde varit med i DT från början! Du lirar bra mycket bättre än Portnoy enligt mig!

  • You are great man! That was just incredible. You were one of my favorites for mike's replacement

  • 2:06 cool

  • upload a video playing secondary effects please

  • Your youth unfairly took you out.....I didnt know anything about you...I thought you were a black metal drummer...i watched the documentary..i started listening darkane and it has been a pleasant yet mindblowing existence...Nobody with brains doubts about your skills.....you just were younger

  • Comment removed

  • Mangini should be better than Peter!!

  • This is History ... you did very great peter ...

  • Holy Jesus, you made Myung SMILE! All hail Wildoer The Great! :-)

  • Yes!!! this man is incredible!!!

    AGREE

  • like this video, no wonder he's on top 3 in the audition. and he showed positive comments after the news. and even jm smiled watching him behind the kit :)

  • NICE PET :)))))))))))

  • Hey Peter

    Awesome drumming!!! May I ask, how were the auditions like. I know this is kinda a weird question but how was it feel like seeing those other 6 drummers.? Was it cool like you guys are good friends and all or was everybody just staring at each other?

    thanks :D

  • hey peter,...even i see john myung smile just to see you playing that kit on the last minutes :)

    welldone!

  • awesome!!!!

  • Missing portnoy? really? The guy is very good at best. But cmon, the minute after dream theater finished with the audition, he called petrucci and said that he is sorry and made a mistake. And yes... he wanted to come back. By that time, mangini (a professor at berkeley), already submitted his resignation. Missing portnoy? not so much.. the guys a douche for doing that in the first place and even more douche when he realizes that he made a mistake. DT FOR LIFE!

  • @blekidud Idiot ^^ Nothing more to say to you for blaming MP for all of this.

    Awesome video, Mr. Wildoer! Would have loved you behind the kit of Dream Theater. Hope to hear more great music of you in the future!

  • @n00B7r0N

    I dont blame MP. I despised his approach in sending his message and views of how DT SHOULD or SHOULD NOT do for now and the future. And when everything is done, he asked to come back. Thats childish.

  • @blekidud finally someone gets it

  • @blekidud He tried to get back for the fans ;) And every band has a leader. If the others had disagreed with his decisions, than they would have said something. And for his defense: He didn't knew that they chose 11 days before his call his replacement. At this point he had the same knowledge we did. But if you look on Dream Theaters side you could judge them as 'childish', too but I think it's better to say it's their personal business not ours to judge the situation.

  • WOW youre amazing man!!!! greetings from Brazil. I hope someday i can see you live here =D

  • Classiest. musician. ever. You sir, are amazing and a class act.

  • Damn man, fantastic job! Loved all your fills and little intricacies!
