[DT2BLZ]

Instead of: "daddy, can u take me to the park to ride a bike?" it would be something like: "daddy, can u finish teaching me the final part of erotomania pleasee?" fucking EPIC

[EpicPres]

[SS4LZeppo]

Max Portnoy will redeem Dream Theaters sins and redeem him fathers name. Or they could just take Mike back.

[MioSoft]

ummmm... that kid goes to my school.

[R4dG4nT3nG]

1:37....

Mike : you fucking nightmare (eyes pointed to max)

max  : hah???

[MlKEPORNTOY]

If anyone wants to buy me some Taco Bell, my typical order is: 1. Chicken Soft Taco WITH guacamole & NO pico sauce (I think I invented this combo and it has been a fave for years) 2. Taco Supreme (Need that crunch on an item and gotta have the sour cream) 3. Either a Burrito Supreme or a Soft Taco Supreme (to round out another soft shell item) I will occasionally throw in a Mexican Pizza or an Enchilada if I am in a situation where I can use a fork (not driving).

[jaredthompson13]

@MlKEPORNTOY Dude, do you not have anything better to do than make a fake youtube account and post stupid comments? Get your unemployment check, get some gas money, go get a job, and a fucking life.

[SCGFTW]

@jaredthompson13 u mad tough guy?

[jaredthompson13]

@SCGFTW SCGFTW, Y U NO SHUT THE FUCK UP??!!?!

[ThrowingItAway]

Mike already has the stacked hats from sabian that they're releasing this year.... and that Kid is going to be a stellar drummer in a kick ass band someday.

[djtimid2006]

[ryanta48]

[oa172]

I like how they're both playing on one big kit

[resho22]

how and why on earth can somebody dislike this?i really dont understand.

[GaGasWieneR]

that is a great F***ING kid!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDD

[mathurinbeatzman]

is your son's name Arin?

[matmcgeegfx]

Thanks for sharing something personal like this! As a Dad...it is great to see. With a Dad like Portnoy he'll be an amazing man.

[Alexwkj]

11 and already playing Nightmare like a pro drummer. This kid's gonna be a legend just like Mike.

[MLGxOnEvOn3]

theres no way mangini can keep up with the original DT drummer

[Drockdrumming]

i HOPE I CAN TEACH MY SON DRUMS ONE DAY IF I EVER HAVE ONE..THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE IN THE DRUMMING WORLD MIKE..I WOULD OF NEVER PICKED UP STICKS IF IT WASNT FOR YOU

[Sabianman0609]

Anybody else surprised that Max plays drums?? Didn't think so. He'll be just as good or better than his dad before u know it. Oh and Mike? Just wanted to put this out there....Mangini is a punk! He's good true enough, but he's not the best! U r the core of Dream Theater sir.

[clintusmaximus]

@Sabianman0609 mike mangini could drum circles around mike. Sorry but thats the truth!

[Bocciato22]

Mike's son is fantastic!!!! Very good!!!!!

[H2OpolomanGR]

this kid will be THe best drumer ever.......



[acbvbatera]

mtu fdp esse mininuuuu nuuuuuu

[theangerfist]

awesome vid could not believe when I saw it was really portnoy. Would be really great to have a dad who you can play the drums with together. Kid is already badass,but hey if you have portnoy as a dad that is only normal.

[lessavit]

Holy shit... look at him in the begining?!?!?! how old is he? Hes already putting on stick shows in his performance lol Totally awesome

[MickyM07]

You can tell Mikes proud and so he should be!

[hotbytes2000]

DAD...you're my fucking nightmare

[frowny15]

Well I suppose if my dad was Mike fuckin Portoy, I'd be that epic at drums too.

[myuzik05]

mike still misses DT.. take a look at the wall :)

[wildsnydon]

great kid, and a great father

[AlexSmyth0o]

that kid is going to be a fucking prodigy

[tmp2295]

thats y mke portnoy is a cool ass dude.....other parents just buy their kids a ps3 or xbox or something then just send them to their room mike portnoy aint like that he actually spends time with his son nd teaches him how to be a bad ass drummer like him......FUCK YEA!!!!!

[iAmPesukone]

Got any DT or LTE related material?

Also, great playing, both of you.
