[arcanum2010]

WOW



[ilikeheadcrabs]

holy fucking shit balls

[ahrims221]

[Nymfipapukaija]

Wow, I love your huge selection of symbals *_*

[gaseabra]

Now show us that you are the man and do us some hard sh$t.

[shadowjet16]

[gspot27]

@shadowjet16 That is a Sabian AA 10" China Splash.

[shadowjet16]

@gspot27 thanks for the info :)

[twingo71]

[twingo71]

How many training hours do you play every day? very good drummer!!!

[gabrielseri]

hey men where do you get the drumless of all dt songs?? please!!!!

[fatkidsluvcake95]

what kind of pedal do you have?

[gspot27]

@fatkidsluvcake95 Tama Iron Cobra Rolling Glide Double Pedal.

[raven776]

I've been a subscriber ever since I saw your "6:00" video. You are a BADASS, brother!!!

[CarlCanedy]

Excellent job! Well done!

[glevitan]

Great job but such an easy song to cover on drums....yeah that's sarcasm!

[DjowFabinho]

very good man :]

[logoximer]

great job dude !!!! miky the best ..only

[ZaittamRaWr]

Can´t stop loving this part :D 2:21

[yoshikikun]

Great job man!

[ThrowingItAway]

Wow Amazing cover, and that wear spot on your snare is tiny!

[KillaGangsta2DaGrave]

Holy cow...I had low expectations when I started the vid, but i've subscribed and will be watching. Fantastic work keep it up.

[BipolarMoon]

At first it took me awhile to get into, because it was odd to hear the drums isolated from the rest of the original song, but then it came to me. Great job.

[gspot27]

Nothing, just poor recording equpment.

[BlisteredBones]

holy fuck this vid just blew my mind, I didn't think there was anyone on youtube that could do mike portnoy justice but you totally did...awesome work

[xbox360fanou]

Great job dude, another really nice cover!

[depbra1232]

I love your Ride!

[billpeart]

5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vera881]

You make it look so easy!!

[CowbellNinja]

Man! Solid job! The whole second half of this piece is just a beast to count/feel and you pull it off most awesomely!

The only mistake that I really think you should fix is at about 1:35 on just the floor tom. That figure should be 5 notes (4 notes and a rest) of equal length. Right now it's more of three triplets and a quarter in 2/4 rather than four eighth notes in implied 5/8... if that makes any sense.

[OnlyOneBite]

i dont think so, i heard the original again and it seemed ok

[crumbub]

YESSSSSSSS!

[FireBirdTheBand]

good jod

[InsaneSparrow]

Wow, nice. Mike Portnoy is an excellent drummer, and incredibly hard to reproduce. 5 stars for you, my friend.

[tooldrums1000]

Those paiste really sound nice, even from here. But the probably cost some.

[gspot27]

Thank you! Yes, I love their sound. You'd be surprised at the great deals you can get on eBay.

[7SethMurrant7]

1:29 major fuck up

[gspot27]

Yep. That's only one of them.

[Spacca189]

insane

[joiceoliveramorais20]

parabenss.. mtoo bom!!!

[jaredpistoia]

this proves to me that portnoy is only human! lol excellent work

[dagorlad82]

Awesome video dude

[ezzapenka]

goood lok

[xXRandomDrummerXx]

If people have anything bad to say about this video, its pure jealousy! Amazing cover!

[themrmustazz]

Are you already in a band?

[eyelezz]

whoa awesome cover man! heck the mistakes man! playing this song is hard enough itself , but how you get to catch their time signature stuff ? not only in this song , but the other usual dt stuff , its like really hard to card the timing for me

[4StringDomination]

Are those Remo Pinstripe heads?

Greez

[STObon2ORZ]

3:42 high hat part... Awesome!

[THEDrummerofTought]

he is

[Pokermon95]

Oh my God....

Mike Portnoy´s son xD

Very great

5*

[THEDrummerofTought]

LOLOOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Thijz]

You were out of sync a couple of times, but overall a very nice performance! I can't even get a basic rythm on the drums, so big thumbs up! :D

[Jokoshiroakumameito]

wow your amaze ^_^

i want your kit

[SkiLLT123]

It's fuckin' AMAZING.

[craneDT]

AWESOME!!!! FAV 5/5

[bwdrummer1980]

Nice job ! (just work on your tempo).

Now watch my Dance Of Eternity cover and comment please ! ;)

[curlybro7]

that was nice man,did you learn that by ear?

[mbpdavies]

This is incredible, i play myself to what i feel is a pretty gd standard but this is unreal! I used to listen to dream theatre and LTE, Good job!

[dreadbet]

to much hecklers on youtube

your drum and your playing rocks dude

keep it up

[macku15]

this is awesomeeeee!!!! good job man!!!

[tenordrummercj]

during the keyboard solo MP uses Ride after the first few measures.

[matt100330]

Awsome bud!!!!!!! Wow thats all I have to say !!!!

[bobwirdbauarbeiter]

niceeeee

good job, mate! xD

[mrTooKanSam]

no body understands my love for bacon. gosh.

[gspot27]

More or less. It is the 1990 version of the Masters called the Prestige Studio. Their BLX birch.

[mrTooKanSam]

its not a masters idiot

[gspot27]

You need to chill. You're assuming that my kit sucks because of the sound on my video. Consider that you're hearing my drums through a CHEAP CAMCORDER! That's about as good as it's going to get.

[mrTooKanSam]

i was responding to "monstrous dude" idiots

[Gera77metal]

huuuuuuooooooooo :O

[Pablotheater]

You wrong...

[hanslutherh]

wow u are amazing at drumming!!

[sullen309]

good job, man.. congrat

[Len0kz]

very good :)

[ozgunh]

5:15-5:16, you missed the splash :))

[Erotomaniac92]

do you use a dbl bass here, cos if you are, I cant see the other one...

[ozgunh]

I can see it clearly. Look at double basses at 1:46, you can see both hitting.

[MonstrousDude]

good playing but your kit pretty sucks...

[pskuuk]

Who cares? :d

[mrTooKanSam]

his kit pretty sucks??? =s

[steezydrew]

2.07 - 2.16

probs fav bit of ne DT song eva. which, equates 2 my fav bit of ANY song ever

gold

[EcuPirates198]

i agree 100% with this

[ozgunh]

why do you keep wasting your time here man? this does not make any sense to me.. Dont get me wrong, that is a compliment.. :))

[frozenhenkka]

Almost perfectly played, you rock! This is for sure one of the hardest DT songs to play with drums, over 100 tempo chances. Keep rocking!

[HuberttXXX17]

you are great this song isn't for normal musicians if someone says that it is easy he is stupid. Look on metrum of this song. I'm now starting to learning this after 5 years playing guitar and I can said that its fucking hard on every instrument sections

[PolloXdeth]

recomendacion: Aleja el splash del primer tom porque siempre que lo tokas topas con el spalsh :)

[iamchris1000]

very nice. pretty insane :)

[methais]

nice

[ziopeperino]

wow :@!!

[spybloom]

Eh...too many mistakes. I thought that the 15 year old did better than you >.>

Granted, I can't even come close to playing this...good job!

[Gravemace]

Do Through the Fire and Flames!

JJJJJJJJJJJoke

[jonae444]

tht song realy isnt hard its just fast

[Gravemace]

I wasn't joking cause of the speed

I was joking cause everyone says to do that all the time, it's such a popular song lol

[jonae444]

aahh i c

[BurritoBoy1113]

nice playing man, you really the competition away

[jpes07]

Awesome Job!

What ride is that? Is it a 24"? Paiste Dimensions or am I mistaken! :P

[gspot27]

Thank you!

Yes it is a Paiste. 22" Dimensions Medium Ride. I no longer have it. Now, I have a Blue Bell Ride.

[jpes07]

Nice! Thanks for the reply! I think You're vids are awesome!

[deadmous3]

[ToxicxEternity]

I don't even play drums nor comment/watch drum videos but this blew my mind. You're skilled man

[DreamTheater1994]

[thevaliantaisle]

you guys commenting below are halarious you play very few things right..and tune your fucking drums, and the sounds of your cymbals clash when u play them. not a difficult song t o play jsut work on technique and style

[skaterbub2003]

Oh, you think you can do this?

Then show it! :|

[chip2828]

Great job mate, 5/5

[NeleGretsch]

Nice cover...

Just put some other heads, Emperos or G2, your drums will sound much better...

[Fragles666drummer]

Shit... i'd like to have drummin' skill like you. Respect.

[benette37]

nice bro. yours was better than other covers tho'. keep it up

[pyromancj1]

gspot27 I think you did a very good job with this. In my other comment I was talking to the person who asked about the song sounding like a circus song, cuz in the actual song they do have that part.

[gspot27]

That's what I thought. Thank you!

[thevaliantaisle]

you need to work on your timing. part of the problem could be lack of hearing the song in those shitty headphones :P

[TLM88]

even the porntoy himself can't play it without mistakes

[OmnipotentShredder]

Good job bro, don't listen 2 the haters.

[matteoportnoy]

you CAN'T play it at all

it's full of mistakes in here

[gspot27]

Hmm..let's see you do better bro.

[gspot27]

And..I know it's not perfect. I even have said so many times. It's even in the description.

[GreDrums]

5* at least

[2ndeIement]

wtf at 2min its like a fuckin g circus song

[pyromancj1]

Did u ever listen to the original?

[skidude11]

give the guy a break..

do you know how hard it is to cover a song made by one of the drumming gods.

i would like to see one of you haters attempt this, it doesnt matter if he messed up a few times even if his timing is off a lil bit.. i thought it was still pretty good

so give the guy a fucking break

[gspot27]

Thanks for coming to my defense man. Pyromancj1 was asking the previous poster if he had head the original song because of his comment. I appreciate what you said though.

Thanks!

[Drumsmadness]

-.-'

[SkullFucked911]

That sounds soo cool mate, gret work!!

[tiekoe]

hey guise, please check out our version of the dance of eternity

[ahumadogrinder]

waste of my precious time = 6:13

[2slipkno1]

awesome work and awesome set

[pupmult]

I take my hat off to anyone who can do what Portnoy does, or I should say whoever comes close to it. DT songs are hard to follow, but pretty good job on this one! Keep it up! :)))

[molalegacy]

keep up the good job, play more dream theater.

it's no bad, but no good.

big drumm too xD

[Andresgarzonz]

te falta un metronomo estas mal compa hay que estudiar mas ademas estas haciendo toques que no van dentro de la cancion ojo con eso

[flyingcolour7]

damn! relly tight! continue your exellent work and play more dream theater :P

[danbrown4life]

truly amazing. 4:52-5:05 is the part i still cant get down, too many 3's. hard to count out

[0ok0ok0ok]

worst drummer on youtube you suck big time!!!!!!!!!! nah just kiddin man that was mother fucking awesome this song is hard i wish i could play this song as good as u can keep it up

[Adenono]

!!

Amazing

You're my hero, keep up the good work!

<3 Your vids

[jebuzer]

yeah!! aveces se te va el ritmo pero tocas chingon!! saludoz!!

[Numlocq]

bastard lol. Dont listen to those cunts putting you down saying you need to work on the time sig. That song is really hard. You're fuckin good. well done man

[MetropolisAtMyTube]

work on some fills and your time signatures and will be all good ;)

[MajestyRafaelo]

deberias estudiar con metronomo

xd

[warrencoto]

...mae...muy bueno...errores..?..talvez...p­ero la verdad es que eres sorprendente...felicidades amigo...sigue adelante... Costa Rica

[daradore]

you guys play too well as it continues

[crimsonmindset]

noob

[gspot27]

Who's the noob?

[codester95]

ill bet you dont even know how to play drums, and if you do you probablly suck

[tiekoe]

Sloppy, you missed some of the time signatures, you gotta work on those details

[gspot27]

You're absolutely right. I saw your video and it's pretty decent with many of the same issues you called me on. But..I didn't get any time sigs wrong, there were playing mistakes and points where I was either a little ahead or a little behind the backing track. On the up side, I think you are a promising young drummer and look forward to seeing more from you. I'm subscribing to you. Post more videos. Thanks for watching!

[tiekoe]

Yeah, you're right about that, but i'm working on it! and backing tracks can be a real problem thats for sure:P i'm gonna post the dance of eternity soon, be shure to check it out!

[brsfan09]

raise the original music volume a lil more

[tb384]

no me gusto... me parece que podrias tocarlo mucho mejor... tengo 18 años y lo toco mejor... y yo soy de ushuaia... practica mas culeado! el tempo se te va a la mierda... y antes de tener un zarpado set preocupate por manter bien un 4 x 4 suerte con eso!

[ellemovies2]

you all should look at komposteradgalning, i think he does this much better!! go look him up!

[imsopr0]

ps i hate playing the double strokes from 3:45 to 4:15. Especially the 4:00-4:15 part. Tips?

[gspot27]

Keep in mind that most of it is single stroke 16th notes with accents on the different notes. The 4-4:15 section is more difficult since it has the alternating singles and doubles. My best suggestion is to get Audacity and use it to slow down the sections you are having difficulty with. I am loving Audacity these days. But there is no "wrong" way to play it as long as you get all the notes in. Focus on what works for you and your set. Hope this helps.

[imsopr0]

awesome. Your playing more elaborate than mike himself in some parts, and only lag a bit in the awkward ones. Im gonna guess....like 15+ years playing?

[gspot27]

Sadly it is longer than that, 26 years. :)

Thanks!

[eyakulacion]

PS ERES BUENO pero mike es mejor ps si el ya es el ke la iso pero eres muy bueno very nice

[creedsuxass]

You in a band?

[gspot27]

Not at the moment.
