[MrHonkeydorry]

15 people dont like rainbow beard

[MalstormMusic]

I MISS PORTNOY IN DT SOO BAD!!!

And the Black clouds silver lining album def. IMO got the nicest drum sound of all the albums!

[MasonBangsDrums]

"...Mike Manginniiiiii..."

litttllleee did he know

[Stratocoaster08]

@MasonBangsDrums iiirrroonyyyyy

[Jmast3r6046]

good old fashioned wood to beat up.

[KfdProd]

I love this set! I just recorded a band where the drummer used it with inexpensive drum microphones and it sounded great with NO EQ!!!

[OneTakeJesus]

Check out my high quality videos of the 4 octobans I got! Best one on youtube I'm sure!

[GRIM029]

traveling and setting up is a PAIN IN THE ASS, i feel bad for whoever has to do it :l

[jona4151]

Nice monstrosity

[mammallica]

Even his "small" kit is big:D haha i love you Mike:D!

[SpinalAlloy]

0:46-0:50 is a complete photobomb!

[SpinalAlloy]

Is his floor tom on the left side of the kit a snare? O_O

[OneTakeJesus]

@SpinalAlloy I never quite got that either. It's not a snare, if you are referring to him on the right side of his kit. Because to his left, is a 12 inch drum. But it sounds like a floor tom sort of. There's no bottom head as well.

[GamingDrummer89]

@OneTakeJesus If you're talking about the floor tom to the left of the 2nd hi-hat (if you are standing behind the kit looking at it), I think it's just a 14" Tom that is only 5.5" deep. I looked on Mike's website, but the most recent setup he had up there was the mirage monster. It looks the same on the main side of the kit and it listed that drum as a 14" Tom. I also think it has a bottom head here...it has two rims on it. The tom he talks about at 4:00 is single headed.

[OneTakeJesus]

@GamingDrummer89 Yeah the one on his main double kick side. The 14 inch. I really don't get how it works but it sounds amazing.

[SpinalAlloy]

When they get the drum kit from gig to gig, do they have to set all that shit up or is it on some kind of platform?

[abrahamflako11]

@SpinalAlloy the drum tech put it from the beggining again and again and again

[squidcp1]

im a great fan of mike and not homophobic..but, this beard definitively dont looks cool

[xxxPinkyGSterxxx]

"Wanted some good ol' fashioned wood to beat up"

[cannibal72]

1:59 you hear a double hit... but hes only using one pedal?

[ChrisHaspeck]

Ahh Mike the fans in DT land miss you so very much.

OCD got the better of you.

I really hope JP and the boys let you back for the next album.

Mangini is great , but he's no Portnoy

[AAndrews1968]

@ChrisHaspeck Yes he's no Portnoy......He's better!

[odiofatal12]

4:48 ... mike mangini ... jaja looool

[sonicfuker]

Not enough drums.

[Talerns09]

The guitar tech is pinoy?

[SpinalAlloy]

I loooove that clicking sound he gets out of his bass drum!

[NiggerBob420]

It's interesting that Mike Mangini played double drums with him....

[KKun10]

@NiggerBob420 yeah, because Mangini needed Drum Lessons from God.

[bohdaaanek]

@KKun10 are you serious? it was reversely because mangini is way faster...

[KKun10]

@bohdaaanek I'm serious. Speed isn't everything.

[bohdaaanek]

@KKun10 you don't have to tell me,he is even better musician

[STIXAHOY]

@bohdaaanek

MANGINI is way faster...........true.........­in fact Mangini might be the fastest ever...........(cue WFD competitions)............sadly though.........Mangini is the most unmusical drummer in the world

[drummingmw2skatefrea]

@a7xdrumr ill sell u mine i have 4

[LarsThusingDrummer]

what back heads on the bass drum does he use? i know they ARE remos

[metaldrummer47]

@LarsThusingDrummer What do you mean by back heads? One's that the bass pedal hits (Batter) or the part on the front of the drum that say TAMA?

[LarsThusingDrummer]

@metaldrummer47 The batter side

[metaldrummer47]

@LarsThusingDrummer Clear PowerStroke 3

[beanriffs]

[tanluj]

[joshuachan56]

[monkeytheman26]

What happened to Eric Disrude?

[mrboverbro]

RAINBOW BEARD

[hellohiholaify]

he mentions mangini so casually, i doubt he thought he would be his replacement haha

[imky03]

for a moment i thought John Myung was his technician..

[monkeytheman26]

@imky03 lol me too! XD

[GonzoDrummer27]

@MrRockTheD A Rite of Passage by Dream Theater off of Black Clouds and Silver Linings.

[MrRockTheD]

[mg200442000]

'when Tama sent me the 2 kits, I didn't have time to play either one for a couple months because I was too busy getting tattooed'. - M. Portnoy

[Drumkid945]

Why is his floor tom the size of a snare?

[FurlanPaolo]

@Drumkid945 Portnoy wanted to have a really fast floor tom.

[Drummerr1771]

if you have the money....

[andrewfebbraro004]

lol. 1:18

[mrboverbro]

rainbow beard

[paulosemifusa]

00:49 It is the drum tech Neil Peart?

[theBA1DnessizK1ng]

his drumset costs about as much as my house

[drummingdude47]

What happened to eric being mike's drum tech? that guy was funny

[passion4drums]

@drummingdude47 he helps out in the studio.

[drummingdude47]

I think this is his best looking kit yet

[IronDrummer123]

[bnfdrummer808]

Drumlord3005...A Rite of Passage.

[Drumlord3005]

@bnfdrummer808 cheers dude



[Drumlord3005]

[lilguy49]

[mijikle]

"i really wanted some good old fashon WOOD........... to beat up."

[Litsher]

epic fucking beard...

[pescalante2]

that parrot colored bear is awesome

[AStealA8]

Now that he has this new pretty black clouds kit can I have the Albino Monster? I'm not into the mirage monster as I don't like acrylic. If you still need the Albino Monster I'll happily take the Purple Monster as well. If not that at least hook me up with the Awake kit?

[TheFranklin123454321]

Mike Portnoy sure does like to beat on his wood doesn't he...

[metalheaddrummer123]

1:18 haha wood, giggidy

[Masterrese]

4:58 over and over and over and over and over

[Blackfist2106]

@Masterrese You son of a bitch HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[superdrummerboy1028]

I hope his drum tech gets paid well.

[HellRazzer123]

thumbs up if u cant afford this drum set but u want it

[riddleman65]

I didn't know John Myung is Mike Portnoy's drum tech.

[labyrinthos1]

I actually really liked his Mapex sounding kit on Awake and a Change of Seasons. I really love that drum sound.

[CamerOneiric]

@labyrinthos1 Yea, Mapex is in the top 5, with Sonor for sure. Too bad they're incredibly expensive.

[teoballesi]

The Drum tech looks like Myung, but he speaks a lot more.

[logansdrums]

5:30 fairly large kit my ass!

[1101jmb]

whats the song called at the start??

[AKtifosi]

@1101jmb a rite of passage

[Drumkid945]

He wanted wood to beat up...

[ninjadrummer06]

Well, now that I'm not in DREAM THEATER anymore... I just use

a 4-piece kit... LOL

[soundmind529]

He says hes been playin Tama drums since he was 17 yrs old. Okay, then what about the black Mapex kit you played on the first DT album AND the Progressive Drum Concepts DVD?

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@soundmind529 he always played tama, but he wanted to try something new especially since mapex was new at the time and he loved the idea of boosting a small brand up, and he did, however they failed to deliver kits to clinics and some international shows that he just ended it with them, he went back to tama instantly.

[thedrumsking235997]

WTF?! is this crash on 4:23?

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@thedrumsking235997 Its the Sabian Jojo Mayer Signature Fierce crash, its reeeally hammered so it has a sort of china sound, its awesome, i think the one in this video is the 17 inch, he has 2.

[dumbdrummer95]

I love the way octobans sound. I really want some after hearing Mike play them.

[FROZINATOR]

Does anyone know what the composition of the shells is on the right side/smaller kit are/is?

[NickNoRtHeRnLiGhTs]

i bet his drum tech gets paid well

[A7xdrumr]

2:08 - 2:15 was fucking sick, i want octobans right now

[MatthewKOfficial]

@A7xdrumr preare to pay 350 for only 2

[A7xdrumr]

@MatthewKOfficial yeah they are pretty pricey but i could care less :P

[909zaz9]

@A7xdrumr you just have to pay...and...you got it...:P

[Skyoneer2007]

@A7xdrumr or deccabons

[SpinalAlloy]

@Skyoneer2007 Right...I would go with the deccabons because they're by ddrum, but I do enjoy Tama just as much

[dreendroid]

1:58 didnt see that coming

[StephenFiorentini]

Gimmee a Bubinga guitar

[TommtheDrummer]

What would that drum tech do without memory locks :L

[717thdrummer]

i love how he says at 3:28 "A traditional Metal Kit"XD

[archaicedes]

tama kits and hardware are the best. mike portnoy kicks ass.

[TheDrumClown]

He calls the right side small.

[TheDrumClown]

I'll sub if you use everyone of those cymbals in a song.

[xAlexDarkx]

Buzzzinga xD

[Chameleonizer]

Portnoy's played Imperialstar? Awesome just like me :D

[BaekVicious]

I'm not gay or anything, but that outfit is the best i've seen. Cool Dream Theater shirt, cap and wrist bands. It couldn't be better...

[SomeCrackerr]

...so is it *tayma*, or *tahma*?

[UKRCyanide]

Why is the bass played setting up the drums

[2h2sk8er]

@wayne1515 Jimmy's been dead since December of 2009.

[FuckinMetal3694]

[lavendistesapo]

[DJYuYu2xD]

@abvflux Let's write an e-mail to Tama! "Hey, It's fun to say "Bubinga"!!" Signed: 13948273948 persons...

Tama guy will get like: O.O

[hrthehsehreh]

TOCAI COMO EL OYO FEO QLO

[frogbeergolfgolf]

So after looking up the TAMA custom shop price guide and Sabian. Mike Portnoy's drumset is worth over $35,000..... Not including the rack hardware and pedals..

[MrDrumshaman]

uh...funeral 98 acrylic is a form of plastic, called...acrylic ......

[funeral98]

What are acrylic drums made up of?

[ShroomSamich]

@funeral98

probably acrylic...

[SpartanCarver]

@funeral98 : Acrylic. Lol.

[Anorexorcist2371]

What song is that at the begining???

[Ggevorkyan]

@Anorexorcist2371 A Rite of Passage by Dream Theater

[Anorexorcist2371]

@Ggevorkyan Thank you, that song sounds great.

[Ggevorkyan]

@Anorexorcist2371 its pretty bad ass

[jesseroman3]

He's ok but some times he plays to much!

[r4pt0rP5K]

I'm pretty sure that the average drummer couldn't even afford all the heads that he uses.

[funeral98]

@r4pt0rP5K you're right although if we save enough money we can afford i

[A7xdrumr]

nice portnoys birthday is 420!

[punk9999643]

@A7xdrumr Yay! No one cares!

[noconfig]

The most...richest?

[yahyalilli]

@reachforthesun77 mike is a god....

[evildwarf100]

at 2:07 to 2:09 what the the drums that hes playing called?

[Eddie147741]

@evildwarf100 octobans;)

[xXBmWGtR3Xx]

@evildwarf100 octabon

[Wolfgangkay]

wow...he´s really using triggers on the bass drums

[reachforthesun77]

Mike is great!

[Ggevorkyan]

Yes the Tech does look like Myung, and I thought he was until he started talking.

[repentandrebel]

I get "Good old fashioned wood" when i play with my girlfriends "Bubinga's

[huzza09]

@repentandrebel LMAO!

[JjGiroProductions]

Mike rules

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

haha hes wearing the same shoes i got.

[jsmirnoff77]

I don't know why Tama would put up this video as a promo of the Bubinga kit because the sound in this video does NOT do justice whatsoever to how they actually sound. Nevermind the preposterous setup.

[PhelanJason]

Portnoy's a fag, & DT sucks. WTF is wrong with everyone??

[Jisher]

@PhelanJason dt sucks? if dt sucks what doesn't? messugha? HA!

[PhelanJason]

@Jisher Holy Shit you fucking moron, you better be fucking kidding me commenting with some shit like that. Have you ever even listened to Messhugah

[Jisher]

@PhelanJason yes but I couldnt stand that noise...

[pcgam3r666]

@PhelanJason Ignorant fuck lol. Go back to listening to Britney Spears you cunt.

[PhelanJason]

@pcgam3r666 Im Ignorant? YOU listen to the predictable, faggy, half ass cheating shit that is Dream Theater, your the fucking ignorant one who doesnt have an ear for music...Thats why you listen to what everyone told you was cool. PC gamer666, I think your name says it all you fucking ass licking cocksucker.

[ValoMALAYSIA4life]

Loving the beard :P

[Thunderbolt1234]

Mike, please come back to DT

[Pearldrum07]

@Thunderbolt1234 dude he never left he just helped a7x

[Thunderbolt1234]

@Pearldrum07 I wish i had your optimism :P

[triforce10155]

@Pearldrum07 Actually he was kicked out. He wanted to take a break but the rest of the band thought that itd be better off with out him.

[Pearldrum07]

@triforce10155 yeah i know now just at the time i had no idea about it. I wouldn't say they would be better off without him. They probably just didn't want to take a break, and may have thought that it was disrespectful of make to ask for one. Since as we all know a lot of musicians have huge egos.

[ImWithZenon]

NOW YOU CAN SCALE DOWN :D...

Hope it isn't to early for that kind of jokes

[Hammy0924]

Why would you dislike this video?

[hjalmar97]

@Hammy0924 they tried to no-scope the like button :D

[ShroomSamich]

ye too bad dream theater sucks but hes still a sick drummer

[DTxOctavariumx]

@ShroomSamich lol DT sucks? Go listen to A7X more. Fag.

[ShroomSamich]

@DTxOctavariumx

[DTxOctavariumx]

@ShroomSamich why does dt suck?

[CHR1ZA130K]

6:12 Trigger on the bass drum? Lol.

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

@CHR1ZA130K How the hell is that a lol?

[shadzy181991]

@CHR1ZA130K its actually his hi-hat attachment which sits in a similar position to a trigger. i was like :O aswell at first haha

[TheNamewithnumbers]

That beard is BAD. ASS.

[allmetaliswelcome]

how do you call a 5 piece kit with 2 floortoms and one racktom? that has a special name right?
