neal morse mike portnoy studio sessions

[magnus12g7]

amacing



[eennymo]

he's just one of the very best drummers of all times. definitely one of the most versatile drummers - metal, prog, jazz, rock... you name it, he can do it!

[GubeonProductions]

What are these two songs he is drumming on?

[shady88chazz]

After all the AWARDS that MR Pornoy has won, some people still calls him overrated..Damn~

[Hersheyskiwi]

I love how he likes caresses his beard all the time lol

[reisselpud]

Magic !

[jikarpert]

plzzz join dreamtheater again !!!!

[thisiswebbmaster]

@jikarpert He tried to - and they rejected him :\

[aakkoin]

he said that he basicly copies other drummers... i hear it in his playing very often and its disturbing, he needs creativity for fucks sake

[afrotension]

Anyone know what the overheads on the kit are? 3:20

[lukepugliese]

I have actually got to play on that drum set many times.. I set the kit up for him each time he comes to Nashville.

[Vazquezbrothers]

the first song that mikes play.... someone know the name and the album ???

[ryanyunck]

"That was killer!" has become an inside joke with one of my friends =)

[TheKickassdrummer]

I am a former student of Bissonette...And you ain't all that..Give a man a couple of clubs..see what he does!!!

[TheKickassdrummer]

I really do not think you compared youself to Steve Smith...Did you? You ain't that good! and for that matter neither am I

[BCDPRODUCTIONS1234]

They're both good in their own right, Portnoy's done stuff with time signatures that Smith dreams of

[divyx]

He just mentions the styles he gets to do, rip toto drummer Porcaro or how it is written, and then Smith. Nothing about comparing X))))

[m3rg3]

lets do a jerry bobary... banana fana fo-fary

[Drumspiracy]

What song or album is this from???

[Benjaminvv93]

Sola Scriptura by Neal Morse =)

[goldheartguitar]

Song : The Door

Album : Sola Scriptura

[Fettus999]

It's so cool when they sit in the sofa chillin' and you can see Portnoy's foot going! You can see he's a real drummer at heart :D

[Gudes69]

what sabian crash does he use here????? i know the china is HHX 18 & 20...

[m3rg3]

AAX and HHx. i think. theres a list on google i bet somwhere.

[eennymo]

Best drummer on the planet right now...

[dummermut]

oh yeah! me & my friends spent hours for listening only the drums of Dream Theater and Co.

[bucnomore11]

@eennymo best drummer on the planet EVER

[Z4nk0]

@eennymo yes.

[aakkoin]

@eennymo Yeah, better than Gavin Harrison, Steve Smith, Thomas Pridgen, Simon Phillips, Derek Roddy, George Kollias, Thomas Lang, Tomas Haake, Marco Minneman, Chris Coleman, Todd Sucherman, Tim Alexander etc etc..... NOT

All of the above are more talented technically and musically. I have to say it's my opinion, but for fucks sake, it's pretty obvious.

[whoareyou134]

@aakkoin Derek Roddy, Marco Minneman, Chris Coleman, Thomas Pridgeon, and Tim alexander can suck my Cock. The rest are a tie for me. Including MP. Do with that what you will.

[abhimuscat]

@whoareyou134 actually marco is awesome, i dont like the rest though

[whoareyou134]

@aakkoin Derek Roddy, Marco Minneman, Chris Coleman, Tim Alexander and Thomas Pridgeon can suck me Cock. However, if you add Steve Gadd to your list, I would say they are all a tie. Including Mike Portnoy. Do with that what you will.

[aakkoin]

@whoareyou134 I don't understand... do what you will? My all time favourite drummer is Bill Bruford, but nowdays I don't even listen to drummers, I listen to the music. And very often that music is jazz oriented...

Jazz and experimental music in general has such an amazing amount of creativity and talent, that I can't see Portnoy nothing but overrated.

[teundrumhead]

there's a Meinl sticker on hiss bassdrumhead. Why is that? Portnoy's cymbals are Sabians..

[123TheBaron456]

I did see it too. But I don't know why it is there

maybe percussion?

[teundrumhead]

no it isnt his percussion. his percussion is from Latin Percussion. i still dont get it. =P i dont like the brand Meinl either.

there shall be a reason.. whatever, =P

no big deal,

[tbruchey]

It was a rental kit most likely. Neal lives in Nashville I believe

[Wickydeviking]

yeah but this kit is used for all transatlantic records and the Neal Morse solo records!

[wcr4]

what is the fang?

[Wickydeviking]

it's a nickname for Mike

[LACRIOSWI]

that was killer!!

[GOTHIM123]

lol well im not quite sure how u guys in mexico can get it but

actually i dont even kno where anybody can get it cuz i got it from neal himself cuz my uncle is like his best friend so i seee him alot

[iyare]

By the way... what is te name of the album and the song that is playing Mike??

[thesilentcircus789]

Neal Morse- Sola Scriptura

The song is The Door.

[iyare]

Thank´s man!!

Cheers from Mexico.

[iyare]

Ahh and what is te name of the first song??

[iyare]

[Ajowerty]

Neal's new album is a KILLER

[xJPM100x]

"What was that sound?.....ahh that was killer!"

rofl.

[wiltor125]

Where did you get this video from?

[Nodrico]

mike portnoy, what a legend!! and dude, those rythems that he was razzlin out were frikin awsome, i have a similar kit to tht black tama one, but he has like a billion more symbols than me, trust portnoy, his kits are allways like the size of a house as nubnut rightly put!

[tkenni1]

1:22... can anyone say Leonidas?

[mrsiix]

I could

[Nubnut]

Woah, Portnoy has a set that's actually smaller than a house?

[stevelerro]

i actually think that is Neil's Studio kit...so there is still a chance portnoy doesn't have a kit smaller than a house...or a large trailer at least...

[drunkhas]

his OSI kit, and beatles tribute kit, they are pretty small, yet he rock the shit out of them.

[turdburper]

"I'm not ruining your song, am I Niel?" <--- Modesty and Humbleness. Mike rules.

[mrsiix]

wtf, since when he has a meinl logo?

[fatfriarmusic]

It came on the drum kit which came from a cartage company in Nashville called Drum Paradise(notice the other sticker on it). Neal now owns that kit and it stays in the studio.

Mike doesn't support Meinl...he is exclusive to Tama and Sabian. Not that Meinl sucks...they are awesome IMO...but that sticker was already on the bass drum and no one ver took it off or put a new head on it.

[mrsiix]

ohhhhh ok, i know drum paradise, but youre right lp kikis meinl percussion arse

[envydrumenvy]

that sound was a cellphone

[RussellsParadox]

2:19... I've never heard him do that kind of lick so smoothly... sweet.

[universalmind38]

It's a C-Prog band,actually.

[staxandy]

it's not Transatlantic!!! It's Neal Morse latest album called "Sola Scriptura"

[senorvolasco]

oh my god, mike looks so much like Leonidas from 300 in this vid!

[NinjaWarrior32390]

The guy in the red shirt at 2:24 is Randy George. My dad has a band called Ajalon, and Randy is the guitarist. My dad is the lead vocalist and bassist in the band. Check it out at 3-dub-dot ajalon dot net. (I can't post URL addresses. That's why it's typed like that.)

[tsampikos1]

portnoy rocks!!!!

[AnIMaDrako]

what can i say about this amazing guy??? everybady knows is the best drumer in this moment! and im proud im fan of dream and all progressive and neal morse wowowoowo sola scriptura greta album!

[george2112d]

i hate those black and white shoes portnoy is wearing, everybody is wearing it

[LarsDT]

I know this is an OffTopic, but I'm from Norway and I Wondered:

What kind of Jersey is it that Mike's wearing?

Sixers or something?

And where can I order?

My sister's in USA, can she get this jersey for me?

Thx

[mindstormd]

Yeah it's a philadelphia 76ers jersey. Number 3.

[aureliao]

great. absolutely great

[HyaPowa]

As a drummer myself, I can honestly say Portnoy is amazing. Nice to have this inside look at a studio session. Thanks.

[benji2112]

what album it this from and is this material on a dvd?

[xaviervan86]

Yep.This band is Transatlantic there's a DVD called Transatlantic Live in Europe.

[universalmind38]

Wrong man... It's Neal Morse's solo album.

[universalmind38]

Great GREAT fill on the 1minute mark...Great,Mike...Really awesome!

[ryguy905]

Portnoy is the man

[ytsename]

PS.- You forgot to mention Randy George on the title, he plays a lot of instruments (playing for Neal great bass guitar).

[ytsename]

Tree geniuses. Neal's new album is gonna rock!!!
