Stream Of Consciousness - Mike Portnoy (DRUMS ONLY) [HD]

[nominoeleclerc]

seems the song has some big fat balls...

also one of the best :)

[JbatteryM]

Look really close the the first cymbal in the front of the video.. and you can see how the hits from mike make a wave on it.. :BB

[einarabelc5]

It still makes me sad HE'S NOT on DT anymore. Mangini might be faster but he doesn't have HIS TONE. I prefer Portnoy's tone any day.

[traptin58]

@paton1993 what

[Quinaitor]

This is my favorite DT song...

[lfcizdabest]

Mike's so good, he even changes his clothes at 2:55 then changes back at 3:05 ;)

[joethestickguy]

ONE M00:00RE TIME!

[caruccio]

Impressionante...

[pedropauloasaf]

munto bom Mike



[55462694]

fuck the sound is fake

[the7dreams]

epic song

[tsadrummer]

What do you mean awesome song? This song is godly

[passion4drums]

So out of sync..

[alocernabiel]

only one hater and he's jelly.

[PliskinNH]

@alocernabiel It's mangini.

[Muzikmaniak40]

Haha! Nice job of not putting your drums in there at all...That's mainly what I looked forward to.

[sitonmyfacedarling]

Portnoy, the consummate professional.

[50jofa]

perfection in every sence of the word....

[fishooke]

why are there several takes on this video?

[50jofa]

@fishooke ever record in a studio? almost never is a song played fully through on one take, everything has to be perfect so they probably took 10 different takes to get the whole song complete.. just drums for 1 song haha

[metalbobby79]

Nagyon szeretem ezt a dalt,1 remekmű....

[fxxxprofanity]

i didn't know he played his right kit for this...hmm

[Aymen27k]

im just beginner at druming and when i watch this i feel like crying ='(

[fxxxprofanity]

@Aymen27k when i first started play i almost got out of my schools beginner band (which was where i first learneed to play drums) because i couldn't play a FLAM for the longest time. its been a few years, and not only can i play a flam-a-diddle but i can play most of this. you'll get there.

[themusicman106]

Did he go Super Saiyan for this?

[nachonal1]

@themusicman106 I think went sayan 4 on this one...lol



[dscarmo]

i bet a lot of people dont even click this video because of drums only, they think its without the music... like i tought.

[down2despair]

Truly you expect no less

[Sphinn]

I am not the biggest Dream Theater fan by any means. Portnoy, however, is no doubt one of the best in the business.

Thanks for the upload!

[HeartlessNobody1314]

this is awesome, but is it just me or does it look like Mike is in fast forward, lol

[luisrocha26]

@HeartlessNobody1314 It looks that the video is in fast forward, at last for me. '-' But it's strange, it's still synchronized with the audio. I think that Mike is really that fast, LOL.

[KillCleaf]

Look at Petrucci right there in the back lol

[theendoe3]

PERFECTO.

[jokerjun1]

Watching this makes me feel sad.

[Bajskorv666]

The last 3 minutes of this song are devine! The song is GODLIKE!

[SrStanlley]

genio!

[mjrupps]

So his best drum performance is played on the smaller side of his set.

[Skoshtwo]

Who in da HELL would ever dislike a vid like this? People worship this man, try to respect that!

[mjrupps]

@Skoshtwo No one...

[Skoshtwo]

@mjrupps true that!

[Skoshtwo]

@mjrupps I think I've seen 1 dislike the first time I saw this video... Hmm, interesting...

[mjrupps]

@Skoshtwo Nope.

[Skoshtwo]

@mjrupps I was pretty drunk at that time, so it's possible that I tripped a lil bit...

[Skoshtwo]

@mjrupps I was pretty drunk at h\that time, so it's possible that I tripped a lil bit...

[mjrupps]

@Skoshtwo Understood.

[the7dreams]

2:48.......3:04 fucking beast drummer

[myrro666]

The best part is from 00:00 to 11:16

[H1tman47]

Is that me or there's JP-s ghost appearing in the background? xD

[TheZackyV]

´Mike drums for Avenged Sevenfold now

[Trumavarium]

This isn't Drums only?

[DT2BLZ]

@Trumavarium this is drums only, but not isolated drums. Isolated is the audio with only the drums...well actually thats my opinion: drums only is when you see the drummer only, and isolated drums is when you hear the isolated drums :)

[jolli93]

@DT2BLZ 

[jolli93]

@DT2BLZ

he is a drummer haha :D

[job4cowboy94]

@DT2BLZ Drums only MEANS isolated drums! if you write Mike Portnoy it means you're only looking at Mike Portnoy!

[BenjaminProd]

@job4cowboy94 No... "drums only" means a view of the 'drums only' in any context... it's FUCKING ambiguous! So is writing "Mike Portnoy", that would encapsulate Mike Portnoy in ANY given scenario. You might find logic to help sometimes...

[Skoshtwo]

@Trumavarium The video is. The sound clearly isn't....

[Pumpero007]

5/4 yeahh!! Monster song!!

[OfficialTSC]

why is the sync off?

[ThePoetech]

I saw Mike play with Avenged Sevenfold and as much as it pained me to see them- HE was GODLY

They gave him like three solo breaks =D It was so awesome.

They added a few filler seconds on the end of their songs and he would just go nuts while they all jerked around.

He was so awesome and cocky on stage. Made me a happy man!

[tankwfw]

Damn it Mike, as much as you disappoint me, you can fucking play

[TnT326SH]

2:57 to 3:01 HOLY SHIT

[freminick123]

@TnT326SH mike mangini can't do that part ; )

[rj72083]

@TnT326SH man i can't believe he was able to keep a beat and change shirts at the same time.....but still sick drum fill

[TnT326SH]

@rj72083 he still played that, i'd love to see you play that or even think to play that

[tstewvial8]

I love it. You were great when I saw you @ The White River Ampadreamtheater w/ Iron Maiden.
