  • He missed the most important part (for me), and it was bugging me for YEARS! I finally came to SOME conclusion.

    It's a bar of 5/4 and a bar of 13/16, and then the band comes in on 1 in different tempo.

    Anyone has any other ideas or revelations?

  • Make it slower, master! Make it slower!!!

  • "Hi, this is Mike Portnoy, betcha can't play this."

  • It's like a spaceship just got launched or some...

  • crystal clear: tikitiki-tikitiki ta ta ta ta ta ta

  • his beard is blue right? or am I color blind?

  • blue beard:O

  • my Goooooooooooooooooooooood

  • i just found out he uses the left hand drum stick upside down, siiick

  • He makes it sound so easy!

  • Mangini: Did you get it? You will do this exactly this way, OK?!?

    LOL!

  • epic blue beard!

  • COME BACKK!!!

  • When the band comes in they come in on an upbeat....... face = *i think*

  • where is the 10 minutes cover? i can t find him

  • 4 + 2 ! this guy is a genius! I wonder if he can also count 'till 10. Although the musicians have a horrible bad taste for music, this is another example of a band with musicians and a drummer.

  • @ruidofaztrilhe what are you talking about dude? mike is amazing, I have my reasons to say that.

    Think a little bit more before you say stupid things, it just might help you out in a little bit of life

    =)

  • @wrona003 Dude, I also have my reasons... art is art, sports is different.

    peace

  • i remember watching this video 6 months ago and this realdrummer guy is still active on it.... wether its trolling or not the guy is a obvious basement dweller.....jeez get a life ive seen Anti Bieber comments less pathetic.

  • @Guyverhoeven Thank you!!! Finally someone is backing me up!!

  • @metallicguns95 I wasnt backing up anybody to be honest. Just that its been so long and i still see some guy making random drama here.

  • @RantsFromHell  If you have time to practice how come you are still non player deluxe??

  • @RantsFromHell Portnoy sucks your dick daily? hahahahahaha

  • @RantsFromHell I smoke assclown everyday of my life and I don't know what i'm talking about?? ROFLMFAO..NOPE it's your non player deluxe model ass that sucks Portnoys dick daily? weekly? or?

  • @realdrummer110 If you "Smoke assclown.." Let's see it. I want to the best drum solo you can play and put that sucker up here for the world to see like Mike Fucking portnoy has been doing for 25 years!!!! Wrap it up for and send it to as your late Christmas present to me with a nice bow on it. FUCK FACE.

  • @metallicguns95 Mike is now and as Berklee found out and flunked him , a bullshit hack. Good only to teenybopper beginners like you....all real drummers on planet earth have decided to make me the anti butthair suckage drum critic. the number one offender=MIKE portnoy. The butthair sucker. Dum dum double bass drum skank city man..

  • @realdrummer110 Your first sentance..made absolute no sense, I'm still puzzeled by your apparent retardation.Do you always avoid the main point of our comments back to you? I want to see the best you can do. Lets see you walk the walk, because you can obviously talk the talk, but you really can't do that very succesfully either.You know I'd really like to know what caused your hatred of Mike Portnoy, and please be honest with me, I know your just a recluse troll, but really the shtick is enough.

  • @metallicguns95 How does stating that Mike is a hack that berklee flunked out unintelligible? Are you on crack already little twerp? I smoke Mike , you or anybody you know or can think of dumbfuck..

  • @realdrummer110 It didn't make any sense because it didn't fuckin happen dip shit. No I'm not on crack ass hole. I'm simply asking you questions that you won't answer, I'm not the CIA searching for that dead hooker in your closet (Yes I know about that too) Yes, I've heard you say that a million times, but Let me see you do it Troll boy bitch!

    Woah woah wait..Anybody..so better than Peart or Lombardo or Buddy rich, Krupa, Donati, Mangini, Palmer, Bonham, Moon, Benatte, Carrey, hmmmm...

  • @metallicguns95 I'm amazed that you even honor thosw masters... So what are you doing slumbing it w/skankass portnoy then? Don't you know that all thiose drummers you just mentioned smoke him like he doesn't even matter? Why aren't you spending all your time w/better guys like them? Until you do ? You suck w/Mike as an influenece.

  • @realdrummer110 Listen dude, all I know is that I know what drumming is. I know what a good drummer is, and I know a good drummer when I hear one, and Mike Portnoy is one of the best. He is and always will be one of my biggest influences. (Along with those other fantastic drummers I mentioned)

  • @metallicguns95 Lose MIke. tell him to give back those awards that shoud have gone to benny greb marco Minneman Virgil Donati Billy Cobham Steve Gadd dennis Chambers John Bonham Danny carey and others. Mike is a staright up poser..

  • @realdrummer110 Why?? All those drummers are absolutely insane but why don't you put Mike in that category...? That is mindfucking That you or anyone for that matter think he is a poser

  • @metallicguns95 Doid you get him to admit that those awrds are better deserved elsewhere?

  • @realdrummer110 Dude, get out of the basement and out into the light and get some fresh air...you're so wierd man.

  • @metallicguns95 Did you? At least tell him to consider apologizing publicly!!!!

  • @realdrummer110 Did you get some nice fresh air...I'm afraid there's no oxygen getting to your brain.

  • @metallicguns95 keep idolizing the skankdicked mother fucker. I don't care. You want to be abroke homeless nobody drummer ? Mike is the right teacher.

  • @realdrummer110 No problem with me, Portnoy can be my drum instructor any day!

  • @metallicguns95 You'll be abroke ass non session playing nothing w/Portnoy as your instructor twerp.. Word. get smart. avoid like the plague..

  • @realdrummer110 I am smart, and I am avoiding the plauge...that's why i don't like overrated scum like Joey Jordison or Travis Barker. Mike Portnoy owns both of them in a heartbeat.

  • @metallicguns95 So? he still is an amateur drummer himself. They are all clowns compared to the real drummers I just mentioned. Mike w/out his Dt band is shit. Oh BFD LTE. NObody knows them...

  • @realdrummer110 Amateur? You call this intro amateur? 6:00 is Amatuer?? Constant Motion is amatuer?

  • @metallicguns95 Dt w/out Mike is the new reality kid. Those guys don't want him anymore. Do you understand this???

  • @realdrummer110 I realize this, and I know that's how it's gonna be. But I can garuntee it wasn't because he was an average or amatuer drummer that they let him go.... God...

    And guess what, Myself and 1 million other people will still like him, that's the same reality!

  • @metallicguns95 Whatever..Did you learn how to spit like an animal on stage while you're playing too? hahahaha. You'll be broke and homelesss. Word.

  • @realdrummer110 Portnoy is fuckin loaded rich dumbass. Why do you always say he is homeless...?? Word

  • @metallicguns95 Nope. What I'm saying is that any student of his is going nowhere. Word..learn to spit on stage .. sweet...

  • @realdrummer110 You haven't a clue of music if you think that...Word Ni##@

  • @metallicguns95 Whatever twerp.. You are a young dumb teenager. has your dad told you that yet? Don't bother replying. You bore me now. Good luck in your endeavors. you're going to need that. C ya

  • @realdrummer110 No my dad has ever and will never tell me that, has your dad told you to get off the computer for a change? He should

    Luck? that's not what music is about. I just played La Villa Strangiato in front 100 people and nailed it last night. And nailed it, come back to me once you at least hae the balls to do that.

  • @metallicguns95 Whatever twerp. 

  • @realdrummer110 ..Done bitch? I could go forever. C'mon!!

  • 8 people are fucking idiots.

  • Comment removed

  • lol "so let me demonstrate that for you" and then he goes into the magic world of Mike Portnoy

    xD

  • @WpA09

    hahahahahaa!

  • @WpA09 XD XD XD xD xD XD So fucking funny! xD xD xD XD XD XD

  • Guys you know every time you respond to RDrums1111's comment, all thats doing is adding fuel to the fire for him as a troll and all other trolls. If he really thought that about Mike Portnoy I'd frankly be shocked that anyone could think like that.

    Any musician and/or non musician knows that Captain blue Beard is one of the greatest out there.

  • @metallicguns95 Did Mike give back the undeserved awards that he received? This is why he now is a homelesss unwanted skank dick ugly person who betrays his own band members trying to "Get" with a superstar fame band that also sucks dick!!!!! Hahahaha... I'm likeing God's justice in this case...lol

  • @realdrummer110 You're comment made no sense and is very irrelivant. You must be quite jealous of the talent Mike Portnoy has... How was he..a.) Betraying his own band members. and b.) get with a superstar fame? A7X wanted him as a temporary replacement for their drummer who had passed away dumb fuck.

  • @metallicguns95 yep and then Mike thought he could drum his way into the big fame leagues. But AX& said take a hike dickwad.You didn't add shit. Now Mike's former band said fuckoff control freak and fuckstick..we're looking for a better drummer finally...hahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahaha Judas cut his own Hebrew throaT..hahahaha. Hey I got an idea!!! Give Mike a rope and let him hang himself on the same tree Judah did.. How cool would that be?????

  • @realdrummer110 Wow dude, you have some SERIOUS issues. I think you're taking this whole situation WAY to seriously and way to far out of context. If you had an IQ over 15 (Or maybe you're just a twat) You'd realize that your story of how this whole spilt came to be and is still going is WAAYYY off base. Plus Avenged Sevenfold let Mike go because of how he was handeling the split with Dream Theater. Not because he didn't add shit, if you'd listen to god damn album you'f realize that. Dick shit.

  • @metallicguns95 Yeah squirt sure.. They told skanky to get lost cause he ain't got what it takes to groove...hahahahahaha. Soon Mike will be drunk and homeless...hahahahaha

  • @realdrummer110 Squirt?? I'm 16 faggot and more real of a drummer than you'll ever be fuck tard. How dare you criticize Mike Portnoy, or ANYONE for that matter who has actually made a name for themselves n this world unlike you, fuckin mook!

  • @metallicguns95 Sorry twerpy!!!! hahahaha. A whopping 16 ? Whoo hoo!!! Now get to some serious drummers and some serious practice squirtnoid!!!!! hahahahahahaha

  • @realdrummer110 rdrums is still trolling away i see after all this time. Fucking loser

  • SLOW!!!!?????? you're going to fucking fast... mike portnoy i love you!!!

  • mike portnoy looks like Jesus :)

  • This is my ranking, I know you're gonna all hate me for not putting Portnoy first, but I have my reasons.

    All Drummers:

    Gene Krupa > Buddy Rich > John Bonham > Jason Bonham > Neil Peart > Mike Portnoy > Keith Moon > Anyone

    Rock Drummers Only:

    John Bonham > Jason Bonham > Neil Peart > Mike Portnoy > Keith Moon

    Again, that's just me. I know most of you would put Portnoy first, but it's all a matter of opinion.

  • @RazrHack -- Hey RazrHack, what am I, chopped liver, what about me?

  • syncopated fill ? it's right left right left ...pretty basic

  • @blazing64 yeah its basic in a way but he turns it into a fucking masterpiece, hes a fucken legend

  • i can see why mike was the revs idol r.i.p jimmy "the rev" sullivan 

  • Who would you say is better... Thomas Lang or Mike portnoy?

  • @Pablotheawesomeguy both amazing drummers. but mike is more creative. i say mike portnoy

  • @Pablotheawesomeguy Lang, definitely. Portnoy is a landmark drummer within the progressive scene, and he definitely has his own place in it's evolution, but he doesn't do so well outside of his own box. Lang is a much more versatile drummer.

    But regardless, Portnoy is still one my drum heroes!

  • damn, waht´s the name of this dvd???

  • @rrdrums1111 Don't feed the trolls! :D

  • @rrdrums1111 stfu mike is just a god on drums!

  • @RockOnBand Suck Mike's limp non drumplaying dick you fuckeeen false idolizer... hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Then suck butthair and don't brush....LOL

  • @rrdrums1111 eilel farme dont ta yeulle gros cris de porc de marde tes une couille tu le critique mai tu sra jamais capable de faire kes ki fais vas te pendre cris de fag!

  • @rrdrums1111 He beats the snot out of Buddy Rich in so many ways. Buddy played on trash cans and all he ever did when he soloed is bang on the snare at a million miles an hour - Portnoy is the next generation of drummers personified in his ability to extend the instrument to heights that were not even considered possible in Buddy's day!

  • @metalmike83 ignore this rrdrums guy. he trolls a hell of alot!! i've seen him quite a few times on these kinds of vids.

  • @rrdrums1111 Fag... i wanna see you drum to a dream theater song on video so i can laugh my ass off at your suckiness

  • @rrdrums1111 LOL!... Fail trail is fail...GTFO out of the video xD

    imposible. You cant use what a god uses. Its just not for mortals.

  • Lol his "slow! speed is probably the only way i can play it... for now x|

  • Comment removed

  • Does he use nylon tip sticks?

  • jes

  • yess he has his own signature

  • i keep staring at his blue chin

  • lol

  • I just figured out how to play this! I was amazed!

  • jesus what sweet tuning....the drums sound awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • man the drums sound wonderful on this.

  • mamma mia.. che intro!!! geniale!! :)

  • Why does he hold one stick the wrong way round?

  • he does alot of rim shots, and he likes the attack from the butt end on the snare drum (:

  • barba azul

  • :S_:S

  • Normal.

  • easy, but mike is one of my idols

  • Mikkey Dee, yeah!

  • Thanks, now is simply...for him

  • i learned it right away:)

  • ME TOO!! So cool.

  • How much would that entire set cost? $10,000? $15,000? Ima buy it.

  • good luck

  • aroung $60,000

  • My ass it costs $10,000. It's like... 1,000x that. (Exaggerating of course).

  • it's more like 30000-60000 USD.

  • prolly

  • Thank you for sharing your knowledge, God of all things drum.

  • holy crap! that is not so diffcult like it sounds!! i will start to practice that tomorrow!

  • Mike Portney is the god of Prog Metal drummers

  • heck no. hes the god of ALL drummers

  • WORRDD!!!

  • PIECE OF CAKE!

  • what the fuck! i can't believe i hadn't figured the second part out on my own. i've been perplexed by that part for four years now and feel like a complete tard.

  • Not that difficult, but he should've slowed it down a smidge more. What is this clip from?

  • lol thats prolly as slow he can play

  • easy

    ;)

  • now is simple...for him

  • lol i'll never play this...

  • yay! i can play it now! thank you sooo much!

  • wo, amazing

  • oh, that was easy .................for him

  • Hahahaha....good lord, so that's what he does!

  • it just sounds different when other people do it because he is miked so its not that hard at all

  • no way!

  • bullshit

  • somebodys smart

  • let us see you do it on a vid then?

  • one two three four five six tigiditigidi

    best drummer in the world

  • decided one day this was the next thing i was learning, ive had two epiphanies from this vid.

  • AWESOME..........that's why he owns

  • Thanks Mike and thanks ArlequinDrum

  • he holds his sticks weird but i suppose it doesnt matter cuz hes so friggin awesome

  • How does he make this stuff up!?!?!?

  • amazing...

  • best drummer in the world

  • no shit! It's like a book! I can read it like an author, but i can't write it like him... understand? I can play This too but make a Drum part while writting a song... it's not to easy in prog rock. Remember, kid

  • Exactly, ChaosDrummer23. You've hit the nail squarely on the head. Playing the stuff is only half the battle. Coming up with the stuff in the first place....now there lies the talent. The only guy I've seen so far on YouTube who can both play Mike's stuff AND apply his style to other songs (I mean SuperMario, for Chrissake! - or even his Tenacious D video) is VADrum (Andrea Vadrucci)

    Mike is the man. 12 consecutive Modern Drummer awards in the Progressive Rock category says it all.

  • awesome intro
