Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity (Live Scenes from New York)

[cjleongson]

i like the oldies part! somewhat kind of swing maybe at 2:19, it's simple but i like it!

[MATTlovesDRUMS]

i love your playing, but i really dont like it when drummers set their drums up exactly the same as a famous drummer. really good playing though! i like this cover :)

[fulegutten]

How much did you pay for thoose octabons?

[jbweiss]

Amazing! I could watch this over and over!

[nandoprogger]

perfect

[kakashi11213]

i cant do the hi hat crossover, ive seen your tutorial :( but you need to make a whole video for it, slow mo, etc, its so hard :(

[AAXplosion]

@kakashi11213 watch this watch?v=xeYkL8eB_r8 :)

[kakashi11213]

@AAXplosion thats the one im talking about, the video is split into deifferent hard dream theater parts, so dance of eternity part didnt get a lot of time, im saying a more detailed tutorial for that part. Of course, only if you can, im not demanding, more like a request haha!

[drummerboitom]

not only is it fucking awesome but your kit sounds sublime!

[EnriDT]

qdo vc coloca ou tira algo de uma musica perfeita, ela deixa de ser perfeita, portanto não ficou perfeito

tem muitos covers melhores :]

[jockercyril]

ouaw un prodige ? sans dec t'aurais du passer l'audition ;)

[ALEXJEOVANNY]

MONSTER !

[A7Xdrumcovers96]

@LiveAndLetMetal It seems to be four counts of 5 then a count of 2/4 repeated twice but I could be wrong, that's what came to mind when I actually counted through it.

[illaberek]

still amazing, thanks!!!

[niah7510]

mean cover man! \m/



[benette37]

if you can play this, then you can also play every DT song.

[engraveddrummer]

@benette37 Not quite... But it's definitely an achievement!

[chekominator]

amazing, so pro D:

[MyFallenIdolMusic]

i fucking love 1:30 to 1:52 it's such a cool groove

[xXbrick84Xx]

For everyone wanting to make octobans:

Go to google, search for "how to build tube toms", there will be a link to a website called arrickrobotics, there you'll find everything you need to know. Sorry I can't post a link cause youtube sucks monkey cock, but just google that and you'll find it, should be the first link. Very informative and helped me a lot, I'm in the process of building my own.

Hope it helps,

Brick

[drumskits]

Desde españa....

Un trabajo excelente.



[yourijulius]

ure so fuckin sick on drums man!

[kissirumpans]

Perfect cover man! I am learning this song now and I just wan't to check if you have any tips for me learning this song..? I don't like to count the time signatures eather so you just have to litsen to the song a 1000000 times and try to play the shit huh ? :)

[Aristowi]

You passed the first test of the audition mate, now we need to see some jamming :P

[ToniAlexii]

Fuckdamn, why are you so damn good! :D Perfect.

[TheDug0]

anyone else just bust a nut from this video?? i did.

[Aristowi]

Great Job

[DEIsaac]

may I tell you one thing?

You are way better than cobus, vadrum or any other shit just because you can handle the complexity of prog metal songs and perform all of them almost perfectly (and in almost I mean 99%)

You are amazing, and probably the best youtube drummer ever, and yes, just because you cover DT songs.

I'd like to see you perform more simple rock songs just to see what you'll do there, cause you sir, are really good.

Keep on rocking!

[Pandorastoolbox]

@DEIsaac

This dude indeed is very very very good.

But Vadrum also coverd DT.

And dont underestimate the Mario and other classic songs complexity.

[AfterlifeBlack]

Have you ever actually learned jazz drumming cuz that actually looked really good, better than most covers.

[andrefs01]

Amazing job man! Just perfect.

[JavocadoDrums]

This is some of the best drumming I've seen. Your drums and cymbals sound fantastic....as well

[mMeMoOo]

i dont beleive this. cmon dont you see the montage. you cant fool me with this video tricks. jealous mode on

[SymphonyLawsify]

very nice cover, congrats

[egbt4]

@LiveAndLetMetal It's 5/4 and 6/4 ( repeat 2 times )

[Destrolyer]

Its looks like the camping tent version of Portnoy

[TheGerthax]

you should be mike portnoys replacement

[872andy872]

@LiveAndLetMetal I believe it simply is 5/4 then 4/4 or 9/4 in total just really syncopated

[paisteuser06]

so...i can tell you're not much of a DT or MP fan huh?

[ttupidaccema]

complimenti.. bravissimo.. ma vorrei vederti suonare qualcosa di più impegnativo tipo " to fracture" dei Canvas Solaris , oppure qualcosa dei Gordian Knot.. se non capisci traduci con google.. italy

[jrmrock]

awesome cover!!

[nakkiuros]

fucking good maestro!

tempo stay incredibly great!

bravo!

[deadmous3]

@2:35 - 2:38 speeds up! LoL

[nakkiuros]

@deadmous3 yea i know. that's only section in the whole song that tempo speeds too much.

[Pmezamaiden]

excelent man!!!

[thetallcheker]

one last thing, awesome job hittin all the centillions of ghost notes

[thetallcheker]

by far, the best drum covers of dream theater songs

[drummer4thecross]

youuu bad booy ajajaja

[Asmodeosamael]

He should use his powers for Evil...

[ptrcblnc]

great job man ! how many time to learn it ?

[sergitrox]

Holy SHIT! go and play with DT XD

[GreggWK]

Good Job man!

[RedXIV]

beautiful, you nailed it!! fantastic work in an extremely challenging composition!!!!!

[666quebec666]

@LiveAndLetMetal actually its a pattern in 5 and 6 that is repeted .. i think its a 5/4 and 6/4 rythm but im not so sure.. im a guitarist and i love to play this song, its so freakin amazing.. good job btw aaxplosion ahahah that cover you just did was amazing.

[AAXplosion]

I dont count through the song. It makes me confuse. I learn the time changes, rhythms and patterns and play it step after step. I play through the song in my head.

[shortperson1026]

@AAXplosion That's the way to go! :D

[naticio]

MAN!! you can know postulate to be the drummer for dream theater!!! seriously

[RedXIV]

@naticio he should go for it

[Rhys96]

Wow...just, wow.

[bashtay]

I think that Portnoy would be proud of you :)

try to move a little bit...

[drumari0]

best cover of this on youtube by far

[noconfig]

So, you don't use Max Staxs... you feel alright with yours? Maybe sound better!

[714theriddler]

dynamics dynamics, biut good splash work and timing

[714theriddler]

dynamics dynamics... other than that, nice splash work and excellent timing!

[shazzylazzy]

Uptil now 0 dislikes... cuz no matter how bad they want to dislike it.. after watching this video, they either dont rate or like it :) hands down man!

[plandro82]

[Fredbecker86]

[McDrummerSLR]

[urkezlo]

Save to favorites :)

[Pearldrum07]

[gabrisimspon]

damn man this is so good...

[flyingcows547]

i heard ur toms and i.. jizzed in my pants

[DDDekost]

Very good cover, but in some points there are ghost notes that you don't do.. (btw I don't play drums). Good cover anyway

[shockwave2468]

dude. COMPLETELY AMAZING!! you are a big inspiration! and also are those acrylic octobans?!?!?! how do they sound?? and where did you get them?

[RaffyBax]

Very good work man! I have a question: do you record on the song or on a track without drums? Thx : )

[AAXplosion]

on the normal song

[vanderleymaia]

Very good!!!

[VVhiteVVizard]

4:08 Awesome!!! ^^

[VVhiteVVizard]

4:08 AWESOME :D

[iker223]

das video ist vollkrass :D mir gefällt am meisten von 3:37 bis 4:07 :D du hast es genauso wie Mike gespielt :D

[rockernice1990]

good sound good skill

AMAZING!!

[Thorgran2]

Beim Part von 3:09 bis 3:20 fehlen die Vorschläge mit der Snare, aber sonst isses wirklich sehr fein ;-)

[AAXplosion]

nicht wirklich. Mike spielt die live auch nicht ;-)

Nur auf der CD. Und das is ja die Live-Version

[Thorgran2]

Hey du kannst ja deutsch, Also ich muss schon sagen, dass deine DT Cover die besten sind, die man finden kann, aber du betreibst ja auch ordentlich Aufwand, damit dein Schlagzeug auch exakt wie das von Mike Portnoy klingt und hast eine recht gute Technik.. also die Sachen von DT kann ich auch größenteils spielen, aber noch lange nicht mit so gut akzentuierten Ghost Notes und deiner maschinenartigen genauigkeit ;-).

ABER: Du hast da einen Fehler drin ^^

[AAXplosion]

logisch. ich bin ja auch Deutscher :-D

Danke dir! :-)

[Thorgran2]

Kurze Frage, hast du irgendwie ne Band in der du spielst?

[Thorgran2]

@AAXplosion Hoffe ich nerve nicht: Noch ne Frage: Welche Snare ist das, die du spielst? Sieht nicht aus, wie ne Melodie master, aber die hast du ja sehr ähnlich gestimmt bekommen.. Ich hab ne Mapex Steel Black Panther, aber gut ich hab glaub ich auch nie wirklich versucht die wie Mike Portnoy zu stimmen ;-) Dachte nur irgendwie mal, ob ich mir eine zulegen soll oder nicht

[AAXplosion]

Das is ne Mapex Black Panther Cherry 13x06. Ich versuche auch nicht mein Schlagzeug so zu stimmen und zu mikrofonieren wie Mike Portnoy. Ich stimme da so lange dran rum bis es MIR gefällt ;-) Ja ich hab 2 Bands. Symphonity und AAT.

[AldoSfogli]

very cool men... congratulations... specially bc you did a great job in tuning the drums exactly like Mr portnoy. wich im going to see on March 5thMonterrey MX... congratulations men... keep it up!!!

[xxbss4lifexx]

your drums sound great, what mixer do you use when recording?

[blwi1985]

Very compliments man, but don't you have your own band (Dream theater cover band maybe :D ) e something like that?!

[CrawfordDrummer]

ok portnoy take off the mask already

[benette37]

the backing track used was the live version, which is faster. impressive

[DRKERZ]

perfect. none better. except maybe portnoy himself

[RandomGuyBlake54]

Excellent drumming!! Your articulation is terrific!!

[mikport]

yes he is right is on the studio version... ,man you are a really good drummer... congratulations!!!. Keep going!!!

[zilov]

Outstanding performance. Drums sound fantastic. Fills were spot on; the time changes were nailed beautifully. All in all a magnificent performance of a very demanding track.

All I could ask for is a little bit more head-banging from the drummer :P

-Z

[Fettus999]

This is one demanding song! WOW! I can play parts of it, but doing the entire thing is a workout!

[leccapassera]

clap clap clap!!!! standing ovation for u Mathias!!!

[scrabv]

u play awesome man!!!!!

[real1acer]

No Homo. I got an erection when you stood up at the end to finish the song with those three crash chokes.

You're getting really good Mathias. If there's a youtube drummer good enough to play on stage with Portnoy himself, it's you.

[PaulAJCMoreau]

again...

pro work...

I'm a bit jealous i think :D

[GalaxyB666]

I wanna see strem of consciousness next :)

Very nice drumming again :)

[AAXplosion]

just look all my videos. there is it ;-)

[GalaxyB666]

@AAXplosion

Yeah i know :) But I would like to see a new Version of it :)

Just a question:

On the Part 3:08 to 3:22 isnt Portnoy play

Bram babam babam badabada bram badam...

(With a "Vorschlag" on the Bram ^^)

while you are playing

Bam babam babam badabada bam badam...

[AAXplosion]

Yes, on the studio version. on the live version he only playes singles.

[GalaxyB666]

Oh Man ;) Stream of course :P

[Wainshilbaum]

Very funny Mike Portnoy, cutting your hair and beard, changing your hair color and posting a video like your somebody else.

[McDiddy99]

@Wainshilbaum Damn, and he lost alot of weight ;P!

[xXbrick84Xx]

@Wainshilbaum I lol'd so hard at this hahahaha

[PhantomMaster]

Excellent. Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to do this cover of the live version, just because you prefer the drumming compared to the studio or is there another reason? Thanks!

[AAXplosion]

In in the live-version is more action ;-)

[Kajaah117]

3:36 - 4:08 is what separates the men from the Portnoys. You nailed it. Flawless ghost notes.

[LadySaea]

Daaaaaaaaaamn. <3

[josedistant]

Mind Explodes

[MongeTrue]

Amazing!

[pudin9131]

5/5

[ch3jko]

cover mal bitte was von spastic ink :D words for nerds oder so faend ich mal geil

amazing cover as always :P

[Br0kenEnGliSh]

One of my fave DT tunes. :D

[alex164]

you've got the technical edge on Cobus. awesome

[pesquios]

I agree with that

[stigomaster]

Amazing, though I call for more cowbell :D

[BrainDamage769]

Your drums sound amazing!  Do you do all the mixing yourself?

[AAXplosion]

yes. But this is just the rough mix. Just the sound that comes out of the mixer.

[PlugInBabyy]

marvellous

[kssael]

This one's better than the first one you've uploaded!

[AAXplosion]

cause the first one is 2 years old ;-)

[MetalDeath96]

fucking amazing as always :S one of best drummers on youtube by far
