This was the first prog vid I saw back when I was 14 and was starting to get interested on the drums. I remember it blew my mind. Of course now I look up to other drummers even more advanced than mike, but he will always hold a special place in my life for being the one to wake up my interest in drums and I love his drum parts up to falling into infinity.
i'm sorry you don't know about him yet. he's actually one of the most prominent drummers of this generation; for more than twenty years now. welcome to the portnoy mania.
I discovered the Mapex Maple sound about 5 years ago and I love them like no other.. This is the first video I have seen with portnoy playing Mapex tho... I thought he had endorsment deals with Tama.
Yeah I can even play it myself on drums! It´s easier than it exactly sound. If you understand which signatures the shit is in, and learn all the changes you will get it pretty quick, and LISTEN to it many times everyday, so you learn it my ear.
Prolly THE best instrumental of ALL TIME

Love the snare sound here. Actually all of the kit is very nice sounding, but the snare is YUMMY.
