Dream Theater - Octavarium: III. Full Circle, IV. Intervals (Drum Cover)

[AriasRequiem]

Nice work!

[amicuscarcinos]

ambidextrous, just like me... good job man!

[Mrscrumdidlyumptious]

one word: Yousirareagod,thoughofcoursese­condedtoMikeportnoy.

In a sentence: You sir, are a god. of course seconded to Mike Portnoy.

[1istWilly]

Amazing mate!

[sk84uhlivin1]

This is a fantastic cover, great job.

[laszlov2]

I'm wondering, are counting the rythm in your head or are you just playing by feeling?

[SebaChannel]

so how many arms did you said you have?

[BruceNorris2112]

As a person who learned to play tradtitional, I can honestly say that we are the most critical assholes in the drumming world. With that said, I wish to point out the ONLY thing that bothers me about this: your technique. I apologize if this is said a lot. Specifically, your hands are positioned thumbs-on-top; the top of your hand (when matched, like you) should be on top. Also, your foot is WAY too far up on the pedal. This is what causes carpal tunnel, tendonitis, etc. Great drumming, though!

[MrRadical27]

Are you a left hander?

[PhantomMaster]

@MrRadical27 I sure am!

[burkkis]

great cover man! kinda wierd setup, but looks like it works for you! keep it up!

[parrakis]

sick cover man, ur snare sounds so good, btw im sorry if this has been asked many times but are u a lefty? fucking amazing \m/

[PhantomMaster]

@parrakis Thank you very much, really appreciate it!! And I sure am =]

[dylstick3]

@PhantomMaster Hey man great drumming i love every bit of this video! Just got a couple of questions, First is what type of sticks are you using (they look 5Bs but what brand) and are the heads on your two lower high toms remo pin stripes? or?

[bayiculun]

ew man, you're good enough to be DT new drummers..

[PhantomMaster]

@bayiculun Haha not quite but thank you very much! =]

[zey2k]

[PhantomMaster]

@zey2k Yup, all backwards! I should just flip the video when I'm editing it haha...=]

[CyberVicho666]

[PhantomMaster]

@CyberVicho666 Thanks man!!

[arifdolay]

Very2 good cover :D I like it so much bro.. Keep the dream alive \m/ from Indonesia

[PhantomMaster]

@arifdolay Wow, great to se a comment from Indonesia on my video! Really appreciate that, thank you! =]

[squeezewilson9]

I haven't watched many drum videos, but I've never seen a left handed drummer in real life or on the internet.

[skotous]

you deserve a beter drum set:P (btw are you left handed?,unconfortable petal placing:P)

[PhantomMaster]

@skotous If you check my recent videos I have a better (and bigger!) kit! And yup I'm a lefty, not uncomfortable for me! =]

[skotous]

@PhantomMaster :)

[SebaChannel]

wont you joind DT now that mike has gone?

[PhantomMaster]

@SebaChannel Haha don't think its that easy but I'm flattered you'd think I'd even be able to attempt to replace him! =]

[Wolfgangkay]

your snare sounds awesome!

[PhantomMaster]

@Wolfgangkay Thanks man! =]

[kevinegp]

OMG i love your snare! :F

[PhantomMaster]

@kevinegp Haha cheers!

[smals711]

What snare/batter head do you have? It sounds awesome!

[JCustomZ]

what snare is that

[polostick101]

Are you the new drummer for dream theater?

[PhantomMaster]

@polostick101 Haha, the secrets out! Nah I wish...Although I wouldn't be able to compare to MP!

[polostick101]

@PhantomMaster I also realized how big MP's drum kit is...it has 2 chairs...

[ThePoetech]

I have never had more fun watching someone play drums in my life!

I have been watching all of your videos (Except that Backstreet Boys one =P) and you are seriously amazing.

If you had MP's drum kit you would destroy your neighborhood with sheer awesomeness!

Honestly, you are so talented man. Mad respect!

[zacre]

damn son...fucking good!

[JCustomZ]

what snare is that?

[JCustomZ]

[PhantomMaster]

@JCustomZ Pearl Powershifter!

[MindOfPagan]

[PhantomMaster]

@MindOfPagan Haha I'm suprised I haven't smashed it with my elbow yet!

[MindOfPagan]

@PhantomMaster sneriously

[fernetsrumom]

[PhantomMaster]

@seraphimist Thanks man!! Appreciate it!

[oloap772]

NICE XD ..COOOL

[aliveandsleeping]

Sweet!

[PhantomMaster]

@aliveandsleeping Thanks!

[Tiagoelisete]

Humm...perhaps one of the most talented drummers that we have on youtube! ...In some parts if you close your eyes you'll think that is Mike Portnoy playing! :p

[PhantomMaster]

@Tiagoelisete Wow, thanks!! Really appreciate that! Haha definitly not close to his standard yet, he makes this kinda stuff look easy!

[Axiomlt]

@PhantomMaster .LOL For years I have been watching this man make drumming look easy. Prog. Drummer of the year, how many years in a row? I forget...

Anyway, first it takes balls to play Portnoy, but it takes talent to sound like him. This is pretty sound drumming. I enjoyed watching this, truly. Keep rockin, and let us all know if there are more to come. :)

[ssblindSH1]

i love ur drumset sounds so good

[osullibr]

i'm gonna watch you career rocket - with great interest. you are a phemon. post more of your own and watch the views roll in. Congrats

[abdulah786]

[PhantomMaster]

@abdulah786 Thanks man, appreciate it!!

[fiveminutewalk]

Very, very nice! I love your snare sound. (1) What drums are you playing? (2) What heads are you using? (3) Where the heck were your drum mics?

[mammakamel]

Real Nice job! Mike would be proud! Keep it up :)

[runnerdude5000]

*timbres....my iPad screwed up the spelling.

[runnerdude5000]

Kickass, dude. Sweet recording. You were even able to get the different sounds and tambours out of a smaller set.
