I really enjoy watching Portnoy on his kit because he is so animated and playful he actually makes these difficult songs look so easy to play. He looks like he's genuinely having fun, and he can convey that feeling towards his audience. That to me is what playing music is all about.
Mike is just a awsome drummer, you cant hear everything, because of his speed and its dificould to record this live!, so he isnt playbacking he is just the Best drummer:P
hey you can also lissen to the ridecymbal. if you lissen closely you notice that the ridecymbal isnt making any sound when mike hits the snaredrum. I think he hits eather one of the drums.

WOW..ANY1 SEE WHAT I SEE AT AROUND 5:17 SEC? miKE THROWS HIS STICK UP IN THE AIR BUT DOESNT HIT HIS SNARE, YET U HEAR THE SNARE GO OFF EITHER WAY..HOW?? iS HE EVEN DRUMMING?..HARD TO SAY IF ITS JUT HIS DRUM RECORDED BEING PLAYED BACK...HMMM
If you take a look just a little bit closer you can see the shot of his right hand is not clear, his body is obstructing the arm and the camera doesn´t get in time to see the beat, so you can´t tell if hi did the beat, besides of that it´s unbelieveable that someone can say that is har d to say if it´s playback, come on you can see all the beats that match perfectly
Axis103, If you see closly you'll se his other snare drum that he hits with his right hand when he throws the drumstick in the air! It is called good drumming that Mike Portnoy does. It is few drummers in the world that can have that balance of what he is doing. So lets just enjoy his work and musikk of the rest of the Dream Theater guys!! =)
3:50 lol. Awesome.

Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, and John Myung is probably one of the best lineups for a drummer, guitarist and bassist
