well i just felt it sounds better this way, and it also shows that it's actually me playing drums. doing the exact same thing would be boring kinda ;)
Portnoy is not musical at all.... a lot of people agree with that, Portnoy is no one, and could not become a "myth" without Dream Theater... he's not so good, he's really aproximative, a piece of wood, unaccurate, can't keep the groove and the time.. I mean, he's good, but not perfect, while all his fans think that he's god, he's the best..he's not.
Danny Carrey OWN his drumming, have u seen Portnoy playing on 2003 with his yellow matter custard? ...so sad, he cannot be smooth and gentle like Ringo, he's still MP ...and believe me he's not so good, he's so rigid, in old vids I remember time going differently during a few seconds...and seeing that u know SX, Jason Rullo is A LOT more musical than him! 7/8 for MP is always 4/4-1/8, this is horrible! ...
Lol man, you can say things about the case that Portnoy almost never uses polyrhitms and polymetters, but he's WAY better than Danny Carrey at his compositions, that are not just ton-work or counterbeated crashes like Danny.
Danny isn't that technical, for example, Tomas Haake OWNS him.
And I like Rullo, but I think he only "keeps the beat", I don't know how to explain, he's much the same thing every time, too much double bass following the guitar riffs and etc.
I know the time signatures in a lot of Dream Theater songs, got tabs, and played some.. I'm saying the way MP moves in odd times, the first 3 album were great to me, but his fake and triggered drums already was not my fav.. anyway, Rullo is more power, in first albums, and I don't like that much that style, but listen to "The Accolade", "The Odyssey", "Paradise Lost" .. his touch and groove is better than MP's, no way to me.. and Haake OF COURSE own'em on technique!:D AHAH but that's other thing
ah please,seeing that u know what u're talking about ;)I hope u agree that the GREAT works from DT(almost all in first3cds) were when there was musicality and NEED of odd times..Dance of E. is brilliant,an exception, but still kinda cold,,other songs (and solos!) are just exercises and "stairs"(?) at high speed, completely cold /watch?v=teZbA14ZSTA omg listen at the guitar from2:47..he's so unclean..anyway when SX use odd time, there's need of them, 7/8 in sacrifice, or the Odyssey,got the GPtab
ohhhh, yes yes dude.... i'm bass player n i've played DT in small venues, anyways, dude, u do have some skills making arrangements to the drum master MP...
a little out of time and a fake attempt at the bridge but everything else neatly clean nice effort kid! you should retape it after learning the 3rd minute bridge! nice...
then where are those so mentioned variations...??? that was my point variate much more between your snare and your Hi hat a hit or two on the splashes don't make great variations, I didn't do the comment for criticism it was just support for more VARIATIONS see ya

Yeah man, I have to agree with you!
The new DT stuff is not the same, now John Petrucci do not even use clean sounds, only distortion! The early days ruled...
btw, The Odissey is THE SHIT, I fucking love it.
I saw S-X and DT last year, the best fucking concerts of my life!
And now I saw on your profile that you like Roddy, you have a good taste man! Hate Eternal and stuff rules too!
You play eletronic drums! Wich kit do you have? I'm thinking about affording one! I have an acoustic one

KillerDrummer88 2 years ago
Man, I never saw portnoy loosing the tempo, and I have almost everything from DT.
A lot of his stuff are simple, but he still have a lot of compositions that can blow our minds.
You don't think that Danny Carrey is better than him, right?
Thambos 2 years ago
Danny Carrey OWN his drumming, have u seen Portnoy playing on 2003 with his yellow matter custard? ...so sad, he cannot be smooth and gentle like Ringo, he's still MP ...and believe me he's not so good, he's so rigid, in old vids I remember time going differently during a few seconds...and seeing that u know SX, Jason Rullo is A LOT more musical than him! 7/8 for MP is always 4/4-1/8, this is horrible! ...

...and about the odd-time signatures at Dream Theater, man, it's not possible: I think that you're listening it wrong, hah.
For example, Dance of Eternity has a lot of 15/8 and 13/8 metters, and also one 15/16 and a 21/16.
It's some complex music(not the most technical, but it's really well 'arranged'), and obviously, the other guys from the band helps him at this. ;D
