A cousin of mine is a respectable drummer. In his opinion Virgil Donati is better. I'm a music fan and definately a DT fan and I really think Portnoy is the Master!!! It looks like he does it with such ease. I've you look at live shows, the energy that he displays. Awesome by the way. Footage of the take of 'Best of times'. The song he wrote for is father who passed away.....
1. Thank u for this vid! 2. I get how people wanna say how MM is "better" then MP. Maybe technically with hands and speed he is. But What MP lacks in those areas. He makes what are simple hand patterns into the most mind blowing...scratch ur head...wtf rewind that shit... what did he just do there???...Drum parts you've ever heard. And watching the auditions, seeing drummers butcher and struggle with the songs lol. Makes u appreciate MP so much more and go ah not so easy huh lol
You know, i used to play the guitar. Then I heard of John Petrucci. So I gave up and said, ok, I'll play the drums. Then I heard of Mike Portnoy. As you may suspect, i now successfully play the whistle.
Fanboys always try to piss on the best....example: People that claim Ulrich is a better drummer than Portnoy. About the only thing Lars Ulrich is qualified to do is be Mike Portnoy's drum tech.
@MilkyCamps You're absolutely right...I was feeling nice that night. What I really meant: Ulrich's ass needs to go retire and quit banging on his trashcan lid snare drum.
Stream of consciousness, especially the part you edited has always been one of my favourites of the way Mike plays the drums there. Crazy latin feel in between the metal :-)
I've attempted playing alot of these songs lately and I've been drumming for about 6 or 7 years and I'm not gonna lie, I trash them but its fun attempting lol
guys the MIKEPORTNOY guy that has top comment is not him. He's a troll that constantly badmouths bands like A7X and if you go to his profile you'll see that it's not real.
I had a dream a while back about that shallow floor tom between the left and right sides of Portnoy's kit. In the dream, Tama made a Mike Portnoy signature shallow floor tom called the Mike Portnoy Commando (for whatever reason). Who else thinks that Tama should make a Mike Portnoy signature Commando floor tom for real?!
in my honest opinion there are at least another 3 parts that are amazing: in panic attack, before guitar solo, as i am: fill at the end of solo and count of touscany: intro fill and ending fill.
It never fails to amaze me. those parts really do come alive when you see the videos, you really do realise how difficult some of it is to play! Good place to pick up portnoy tid bits though, thanks for that! I do love the fact that on tour he is really slim but in the studio he's massive!
These beats eternally are stuck in my head. Great video condensing all the greatest face exploding beats of all time in one place. Mike Portnoy is not the fastest, most technical, or famous drummer but this video shows why he is the greatest that ever lived.
i HATE when some people on youtube talk bad about MP as if he is not that good of a drummer !! then they try to compare him with others bla bla bla.Iv'e been listening to MP&DT since 95 and he always amaze me how in the hell he come up with this melody drums etc.and remember style matters also :)
After knowing Mangini was going to replace Portnoy and after seeing a few videos of him I thought the same thing that I think now after listening to the new DT album: Maybe Mangini can do things that Portnoy can't do physically, but Mangini isn't as good as Portnoy as a progressive metal drummer composer.
@cristianfcao Really? And you would know this how? You do realize that he didn't compose any of that album, right? Petrucci has said in interviews that he himself wrote the drum parts, and that Mangini had no influence whatsoever on the writing of the album. He joined the band too late to make any compositional contribution.
Give Mangini a chance. He's at the top of his league, and he's certainly a technically superior drummer to Portnoy.
@Bookster343 Yes I read about MM not composing the drum parts (is that odd or what?) after writing that comment. (interview on musicradar, in case you are interested). Perhaps it makes me have more hope for him as a DT drummer. It's obvious that he's an EXTREMELY gifted drummer. I don't deny that for a second. From what I could listen so far I still believe MP could be a better drummer FOR DT (MM wrote some parts and, I guess, the fills), but I guess we'll have to wait until the next album.
