I'm not sure how to adequately comment on this video. Most non-musicians will never understand the complexity of this song so they will not fully understand this young man's talent here. In DT's long tradition of great instrumentals, Hell's Kitchen is a masterpiece with moving time sigs from 6/8 to 5/8 to 7/8 all with a few 4/8 bars thrown in to liven things up. I give mad props to this dude!!!!!
I swear you are so damn accurate with everything that if I closed my eyes and were just listening and didn't know it was you I would have thought that it was really Portnoy playing!!
And the roll at the end is nice too. You have your drums tuned so perfectly! Your bass drum blends in with your toms during the roll at the end nicely :D
Nice job dude
