good shit, bro!

[LPFREAKYFREAK]

I dont get why people think you suck on here! they are just jelous that they cant do it any better than you can. They must be so jelous LMAO!!!!

[rickygibson3]

ALLL WRONG

have another listen to the song you fuck

[DistortionXtreme]

Dude your a fucking idiot, obviously it isn't going to sound exactly the same, it's a fucking cover for one, and it isn't all wrong, you obviously have no concept of how hard portnoy's stuff is to play, or else you wouldn't of made such a stupid comment.

[jtonessimo]

mike portnoys material is meant to be played with modern grip on the drum sticks, not traditional...

yeah, you could probably pull it off if you really put in the effort, its just all in position to play the way he plays man.

[KYamada416]

holy shit this guys the truth

[RICbass78]

give this guy a break! It's a no brainer to just memorize every single tom and cymbal hit that MP makes and recreate it perfectly. Challenging, yes, but a no brainer.

It takes a whole new level to take a song like this and feel so comfortable with it that you are capable of making it your own by incorporationg your own style into it and playing smoothly regardless. And that's exactly what this guy does. Great job!

[LPFREAKYFREAK]

Hey Bob I dont care what anyone says about this video. you do alot better than anyone else ive seen try this. Thats cause no one else has ever tryed it that I can find!!! hahaha See ya soon bob. Love jammin with ya!

[55662353]

[santosadriano]

you played another song ' didn't likeit!!

[drummerhenrik]

You have to listen more to the song..

[FOMFAH2]

pluss i could hear MPs drums more than yours which covered your mistakes

[ferlotte]

So, we are waiting for your video.. if you can do better.

[FOMFAH2]

you seem to be a great drummer but idk that prog metal is for you.. you dont seem to have the chops for the progressive fills and you didnt recreate mp's parts very well

[klickBG]

OMG if you want to get MP recreated plaing GO HEAR MP this is not MP this is COOOVER and that is what exacly means cover, you know to criticize, but do you know to play it so comfortable ?

[dingui666666]

nice job man.you missed a lot of doble bass parts but i could not do it better,very nice.

[wertyguitar]

This is what I call a professional cover;) Nice work

[NatteGuilty]

Magyarok is szeretik:)

[madchops82]

[FADINGDEADSTAR]

shit youre fucking awesome!!!! and the sound is goooooood thx this helped me a lot to understand the song!!!

[NAThan9871]

freaking awesome ! bien joué !

[lightningweasel]

I like your style and ur a good drummer but i really liked the fill wen it dropped down to the bass and drums for the 2nd time in the real song the best

[reyrod]

very good job yomell, those extra snare fills were excelent, keep on rocking

[yomell]

too funny. I don't totally disagree, and if I was capable you know I would, but I'm not.  Just an older guy having some fun. I thought only Rush fans were so persnickity about their "drum parts". Chill out junior know-it-all.....

[AlabamaManWhore]

Yeah I guess, I mean the whole thing is to be different from everyone else. Individuality, you know? Because when I play drums, I want people to be able to tell if it's me or Mike Portnoy or Neil Peart and so on so forth...

[AlabamaManWhore]

Well you shouldn't play it exactly how it is. Give it your own taste and emotion. Of course play the opening beats perfectly, but when you see a good opening, improvise!

[AlabamaManWhore]

Woah, I didn't old people listened to Dream Theater!

YOU RULE!

[fullfadeway9]

you are a wanker

you cannot play this song for your life

[pikachu14]

you changed the whole song of MP!!! that's sin!!! what is wrong with you man!?

[adrumlegend]

nice play along to the song...

... cool drummer.

[marchtenors4life]

wow, you're a lot better than me, i'm 17 but dude, gotta put the snare in on that fill at 2:40, contrating toms and snare sounds real nice right there. amazing though

[Wonbadude]

you rock, no question about it

[stich96]

damn thats cool man. its rare to find good drummers online lol keep it up

[onikinhas]

That's not true, there are plenty of good guys, even here on Youtube

[AndJustice4All68]

first time ive seen DT played with traditional grip.

cool.

[yomell]

You guys are all way too kind. I'm just trying to have a little fun... Thanks for the positive input (so far)!

[Turboviiper]

WOOHOOO i would like to play the song with you man! :D

[400Aesa]

I saw Portnoy doing the studio version of this song. You play it a different way, considering your set is... different. Actually, i prefer yours; for this song at least. Your drums are perfectly set, you do less useless moves like Portnoy does, you rock.

Great job.

[LeGaCyBriGhtDruMmer]

hey mate, great exibition... I just wanna be like you :D.. bye

[UTubeSucks26]

you are one awesome middle aged white dude.. i wanna be just like the same middle aged white guy you are whenn i grow up

[UTubeSucks26]

RADICAL!!!!!!!

[fhdjskal]

U da man

[valerio88]

bravo!!

[philbeastall]

although i prefer portnoys playing, good job! cool to think you don't stick to the original

[yyzny21688]

Nice!! You changed some shit around but I liked it, especially around 2:00, very jazzy man, sick!!

[mattroberts]

Very impressive dude, you nailed it.

[utah7965]

that kicks ass

good job dude
