[Aranbelmontguitar]

it takes alot of talent to do a fates song. much respect and keep it metal man!

[SBCDrummer1]

Mark doesnt use the traditional grip on the first part, but he does on the second part of this clip.

[winston1234]

Amazing. How do you even figure something like this out or then remember it?!!

[nosajj12345]

Not an easy song to play. Good work!!

[npyx]

very good man. mark zonder's patterns are epic. even though i'm not a drummer, i can imagine how much talent they require to be able to keep up. great work. ||applause||

[trinixia]

Great job! This is such a good album. I got some FW cover vids too :)

[zolhof]

[lobotomya]

excelent!!, check my vids i play drums also!

[SolitarySword]

Dude, you got something goin' on! I admire the ease at which you flow through difficult passages!

I issue a challenge!

Play the entire aPSoG album!

I have no doubt you can do it, I just want to see it!

Two thumbs up buddy!!

[Bloodpool11]

That WAS EXCELLENT!!!! fates warning is gotta be the most technical bando out there!! great job bro!!

[ferdinardos]

musical katharsis!great album and you are very good.

[rbueno57]

Thank you!

[yourradiomd]

Very nice!! I did a tribute to Fates and this tune was included in the set. A great challenge and massive fun too play. You wouldn't believe how hard it was for the singer to find where to start and stop in the 7/8 signature! lol

Keep up those chops!!!

MD

[rbueno57]

Hey! Yeah, this song (as many others from Fates) is very difficult for singers. Ray sings on top of 'nothing' and this is why Fates is so unique in my humble opinion.

Talk to you soon!

Tuti

[warrior4christ1970]

Dang!! This is so freaking hard to play.What a beat. I need to practics now....

[xesemas]

pitty there is audio/video sync in your videos

[Ferarri355]

Dude, we walk the same grounds!

Zonder and Portnoy continue to inspire me!

Freaking Jealous of ALL your cymbals!

Wish I had more room!

Keep Rocking!

[rbueno57]

Hey! I am always glad to know people who admire the work of these both drummers!

See you around,

Tuti

[border66]

amazing

[rbueno57]

Thank you guys for all the support!

[warchild027]

Only that Zonder is an idol for you says it all.

Great work man... Got bored of all those " I play as fast and i suck" drummers. good, work, this is all about drumming.

Cheers!

Play some Warlord too, if you haven't done so far, try Mrs Victoria and Aliens, you will be amazed!

[lifterama]

Dude i've watched you play this about 15 times and it was awesome. I sent it to all the shitty drummers I know too so the next time they ask what I want from them they'll have an idea and hopefully realize they can be doing a lot more interesting things with a drum set besides kick and snare. heheh

Only problem I have is I can't find any REAL videos of Mark Zonder playing on his own. I've also been a big fan of fates warning since Awaken the Guardian. Good shit.

[joycemaster14]

still awesome everytime!!!!!

[kendallton11]

...i cannot stop watching this!

You freaking rule!

[devilmanozzy]

I Second that. Awesome drum playing. Truly hard song.

[joycemaster14]

me too, I have watched this so many dang times!!!!

[pltst]

this album is great in progg era.mark really rules.great job man..

[WARLOCK70]

I always wondered how to play that, it seems like there's alot of memory & co-ordination of leading with different hands in the last part. AWESOME JOB!!! How did you figure it out? You must have seen many FW show eh.

[joycemaster14]

Dang.....you nailed it!!! you should try a video like this of a RUSH or Dream Theater song. Portnoy, Peart, and Zonder RULES!!!!

[squidboyx]

fantastic. the opening 30 seconds are some of my favorite drumming ever. and this is an amazing song. great work. people who love fates warning appreciate music.

[andreana2112]

great groove.

[rbueno57]

Thank you all for the great support! You're responsible for keeping me going!!

Tuti

[nhra0869]

Lars WHOOOOOO???? This man kicks ass!!!!! And by the way, I love Metallica too!!!!!Bad Ass drummer though...

[kendallton11]

can't. stop. watching. so. addicting.

[LOCAL392]

SIMPLY ASTOUNDING!!!

[crimsonmidnight2]

m8 you are one sick motherfucker...great job!

[kendallton11]

sick man.

[shattersoul]

You sir, have talent.

[steelbilly]

wooaa i can only say...Amazing, i like very much Fates Warning and this Album!!

[drumking93]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!! I would've thought it was Mark himself if you didn't hold your stick palm down on the snare!!!!I'm a great drummer, but I bow down!!!! Phenomonal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deimos2k]

WOOHOO :D

Excellent job, again solid time and smart decoding on the second part!

[beefo79]

Nice chops dude!

[StaticActs]

Great drumming! Mark Zonder is tough to emulate, so kudos. He has an interesting internal clock and his beats are amazing and so unpredictable!

[rbueno57]

Thanks man! I've posted a new video: APSOG part XI. It would be great if you could watch it.

[ilvava]

man, you are simply amazing. as a drummer i always considered this album from FW as one of the most diffult to reproduce on drums, zonder did something incredible to come up with those patterns. you nailed perfectly one of the most difficult songs, i'm speechless. congratulations.

take a look at my erotomania video, but after watching this i feel like a little man compared to you :)

[rbueno57]

Thanks so much man! I've watched your video and I think you did a great job there! Tuti.

[glorth2]

Dude, I could watch you do that all day. So awesome. Good work man!

[SwanDust]

Fantastic!

[DEVILRAILWAY]

Magnific!!

[fates77]

man you're great!!!!!

[rbueno57]

Thanks my friend!

[rbueno57]

Yeah!! Operation Mindcrime is one of the best albums ever recorded in history. Would be nice to jam with you sometime, thanks for your comment!

[SpectorRay1]

Brilliant! I'd love to jam this whole cd with you...then we'll play Operation: Mindcrime!
