[logansitz]

[jjjmanyo]

Only video on YouTube where a person has a kit this size and actually knows how to use it. Props

[InSatellitesUK]

YOu couldnt be more gentle if you tried ;) wicked all the same :)

[nunolance23]

I'm not an expert when talking about drums, but I think this is one the best covers for this music in YouTube ;)

[XxBIGrandexX]

very nice

[Briikie]

nice playing! really liked the "solo" part.

[MikePattonFan24]

That's my hat!

POLITERGEIST IN UPPER RIGHT CORNER: 5:39

[vhcouto1979]

F... great man!!! That's a killer!

[GuitarAndWow]

When i tried to play this on drums, my arms and legs automaticly bursted into flames...

[Jackksaw]

I love how he looks at his watch all casual at 4:13 :D

[rafayealmeida]

@Jackksaw

He's cleaning the sweat off his forehead dumbass xD.

[MrMaidenARG]

Its going to my favourites, but I didn't like very much your swing. However, it was AMAIZING!

[sirduckfuck]

4:34 to 5:30 hell yeah!

[JustinSamland]

Whats your china over your timbales?

[krombee]

@JustinSamland those are octobans dude :P

[JustinSamland]

@krombee You positive? Look like timbales to me unless they're custom made.

[441greenleaf]

10 reasons to use condoms

[ClintDuza]

thats made me want to give up playing drums... but at the same time I now want to pull it apart and learn it myself but its going to take at least 56 years. lol

[GuyNicknamedFille]

@Lattesociopati Are you using a kickport??? ;P

[dkalcevic]

Wow dude that was incredible! I saw them play this live a few years ago and even portnoy didnt play it that good

[mutedmathamatician]

only bad thing is the snare is kinda quiet. This kicks ass though! nice job man

[Assaultiion]

they should replace the dislike button with jealousy

[Ricardosbajo28]

Hell Yeah B-)



[TheStuntKids100]

Is it me, or does he drum just Like Mike?

[MegaDrum666]

what china r u using there

[cocsp2002]

I love your setup. Great cover, and really tight on the fills especially. Your footwork was very clean, and I'm in absolute awe at your skills. Big thumbs up!

[HopeIsAGame]

More cowbell.

[vani1591]

DAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNN THATS GANGSTER HE MAKES IT LOOK SOOOOOOO EASY

[ZiaurRc]

‎4:35 - 5:30 , i can't see your hand...

[sheheryarsherry]

dude....impressive!!!!

[AnthonyMimming]

wow dude, that is almost perfect. and for a song of that caliber, almost perfect is pretty fucking amazing

[astonaragun]

amazing !!

[Romanmattie]

How didn't you get tired? For 6 minutes and 53 seconds your arms were in CONSTANT MOTION!

[Anastiana1]

are you serious!!! I have been a drummer for nearly 15 years, and rarely get impressed... You know you shit... Congrats on your talents.. you deserve it!!!

[LarsMetallica79]

9 People need a new mouse

[OrioProductions]

Amazing cover. One thing- I don't know about your recent videos, but in this one the snare is a little quiet in the mix...otherwise, it's pretty much a perfect cover. Your bass drum sounds awesome.

[vikingninja1994]

two things i wish i had your kit and your way of making a almost imposable song look easy

[Nihongoking123]

Wow very good, Portnoy always loves to stick in those little twists to totally screw up your mental metronome, and you hit those odd time sigs nicely.

[dreamtheater0wn]

WOW MAN YOUR INSANE! btw is it me or at like 5:00 he starts too look like a robot :P coz hes so quick..

[ThePhoenixThree]

the bass drum sounds sick

[ricardop75]

Excellent! Do you have more drumless tracks beside the ones that you put on the Link????

Sorry for my english jajaja LOL

Greetings from Chile!

[ricardop75]

[lolyounow]

[adiostrokes]

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@adiostrokes in the description

[slimsanta100]

That was awesome! but your snare drum sounds terrible :l

[AndrewRyddle]

awesome dude

[mungo6000]

That was absolutely phenomenal. I applaud you sir, that blew my mind. You had the perfect groove during the solo too. Incredible.

[ModifiedProductionz]

I WANNA BE LIKE YOU :'(

[Nightcrawler874]

I've just watced it.The best cover I could ever imagine for this song. Thumbs up!

[ImmortalSpammer]

damn dude you nailed 4:34 - 5:30. 

[coverman97]

@ImmortalSpammer im sure thats real but man that looks sped up

[campo852]

whats the HHX cymbal? (size/type) its really nice.

[Dargor94]

Awsome sound and cover!

[vivelehardcore]

have anyone noticed the cymbal stack in front of the drum kit

[vivelehardcore]

subscibed

[Sphinxno1]

would love to have a go on that kit of yours

[Andarregar]

good

[The88mrm]

tight!

[hardcorefawk]

looks like wuhan on the right side of ur kit... Nice!

[brimbles72]

Diggin your choices in cymbals :D

[MikSoundEffex09]

4:34 ... This is actually possible to cover?... And I thought Rock Band was hard :/

[noconflictbanana]

I STILL DONT GET WHY I HAD TO WAIT 30 SECONDS....,.

[brimbles72]

@noconflictbanana probably copyright issues. it would have a different song here instead if he didnt. (and this is just a guess)

[ridgewoodism]

i had a dream last night that i was as good as you at drums... :*( then i woke up

[vivelehardcore]

@ridgewoodism stop stealing other poeple's comment

[josepeniche]

you are not good you are god

[spykp]

The right way to cover Mike's work is no other than wearing a hat like Mike!!! :P great cover! :D but I'd like to see you covering the whole job mike does... (drumming + vocals :P)

[25BoNzO44]

Cowbell hit at 4:16 is so key.

[ViniBeber]

Shake your head guy!!!!!looks like a sick weak guy!

[jjpl2001email]

is not perfect at 100%, but wow, you showed me how to accomplish the whole song at your own way, its a hard song, I think im going to do a cover about your cover :-)

[jjpl2001email]

no esta 100% perfecto, pero baya que me has enseñado como sortear la cancion a tu propia manera, es demasiado dificil, creo que voy a sacar un cover de tu cover :-)

[12343212343212341]

Pretty good, but why the 30 second wait?

[HoldenN63]

@12343212343212341

To avoit audioswap because of copyrights...

Youtube only checks the first few seconds of a video. :]

(at least, that's what I think)

[jedrekantkiewicz]

Work on timing dude BTW pretty good cover!

[flyingcows547]

mmmm. some nasty stuff in there.

(nasty in the sick nasty kinda way :)

[drummerboy11695]

im not gonna lie....those paistes sound so much cleaner than that sabian crash...great cover btw

[Alucard666cro]

truly awesome cover dude

what ride do you use? i love the sound

[TheAntiSocialheroes]

great sound your snare ;)

[ThenextPetrucci]

Mike's replacement and 7 of his familymembers disliked this...

[NeekTheNook]

for some reason you look sped up in places? just alittle.... it seems alittle in human specialy for the part 5:15 - 5:30... for some reason... i dont know why

[iluvme4never]

Holy crap dude, I'm no drummer, but even I can tell you are seriously talented.

[maiden97ful]

uhmm.. OMFG MIKE PORTNOY'S REINCARNATION !!!!!!!!!!

8 people just dont know about music!

[Sard1Nycold1]

@maiden97ful i think that this 9 dislikes now, are nerds that can only play drums at rock band or guitar hero =~

sorry for any spelling error, i'm from brazil =s

[a20110220]

@maiden97ful Actually...they are 9

[minifredriksen]

@maiden97ful 9! :'<

[JakeFlor2415]

The beginning kinda sounds like a metallica song. But good cover i liked. What bass do you have?

[TheDrummist88]

hey ive started a youtube channel doing some drum covers and things .. if you think u might like the sound of that check it out man there might be some songs you like... and be happy to request if u fancy one

take care

TheDrummist

[DEADMANSJOURNAL]

What is the really high china on the left? and what is the hhx?

[ThePiousHippo127]

7 3 7 5 7 3 7 8

[Percussionoholic]

Dammit, I quit life, haha. Amazing job! First of all, amazing job covering MP's part. He's no half-ass, so you really have to have your chops up to over DT. More importantly though great job as a drummer in general. Very nice playing. Interesting as you go to faster sections (fills, etc.) you almost tend to alter your grip just slightly so that your index finger is farther up (making the fulcrum almost between the thumb and middle finger) just like Portnoy himself...very cool. Killer job!

[kingmonster12]

4:14 preparing....4:35 god mode launched

[guitarslaveee]

O.O the next mike portnoy jajaja men you are sick jajaja you play very good an i like your snare sound

[sk8ter71195]

sick

[ColdBlooded679]

@killu626 you are the most retarded person ever. how is he not good? He's fricken amazing! You obviously have no idea what youre talking about and you wish you could play this good, which obviously you cant, because if you could, you wouldnt have said that.

[meanduif]

this stuff is so damn hard to drum man, and u just did it! masta!

[killu626]

1: not that good, 2: mike isnt going back to DT.

[vrevolver27fg]

@killu626 its sad but true

[DrRockso9]

Holy dick.

[thenyappymaker]

<3<3<3<3<3

[xXxMcCainxXx]

NEEDS MORE COWBELL!!!!

[Khazanah]

Love it, you're doing it on your own groove, which is nice man... but my only complain? Just rock more on the octoban :)

[julesbridger]

So precise yet gently, its my honor to witness such excellence sir

[moose4life19]

At 4:33 is one of the hardest beats I've ever tried, and I've played most DT songs before. You nailed that beat perfectly. You are a masterful player.

[dayoos11]

first when the 30 sec wait thing came up i was like whaaaaaaaaat! but now that i waited 7min and 31 sec i see that it was well worth it! you are really good man! and btw thanks so much for the link!

[dayoos11]

first when the 30 sec wait thing came up i was like whaaaaaaaaat! but now that i waited 7min and 31 sec i see that it was well worth it! you are really good man!

[destructiz]

6:57 ftw

[degen2233]

solo thing at 4:33 is nuts

[Dargor94]

Man you're so great!Thanks for the drumless songs!Really helpfull!

[LeoPriester]

Amazing cover!!!!

Congratulations man... o/

[DrummerScotty1]

probably my favorite youtube drum cover :)

[JustinGogan]

u have the perfect drumset, its big, but not to big lol i want it!

[nojam4u]

Mkai so the small cymbal farthest to the right that you play during 3:00 what'

s that called? It's not a splash is it? Is it just really tight?

[4thwatcher777]

@nojam4u I think it's the Max Stax

[nojam4u]

@4thwatcher777 Max Stax? That sounds more like a cymbal brand then a cymbal type. I dunno I've just heard Mike use them a lot I've wondered if they're just two mini chinas stack up on each other?

[4thwatcher777]

@nojam4u The Max Stax is a combination of a Sabian Kang China and Sabian Max Stax Splash stacked on top of each other.

[thenyappymaker]

what's the name of the big china cymbal on your right??

[ragnaroksama]

omg ur're sick! xd the guitar solo wow ! that was flawless, perfect. =D oh yeah and i rlly like ur sound tuning nice job :P

[BipolarBearsmusic]

What chinas are you using?

[BipolarBearsmusic]

What chinas are you using?

[BENABONZO]

[NewHanoverCats9924]

[farty555]

[patdaddyo0000]

[patdaddyo0000]

you can tell he is not fakeing the bass so weird but look at that clear drum at bottom right it moves when bass hits

[Pokermon95]

[NicklassGL]

[Mjusikk4u]

Nice work man!!!

[Patto311]

FUCK YES man, thats tight.

[zach59923]

[bladepao13]

great job but anyone can copy mike portnoy!

[raptorjesus223]

your covers are fucking awesome. keep the coming. i wish i could make some. but i have no recording equipment. D:

[icydragoon1]

4:34 is like the sickest and most difficult drum parts ever dude amazing job at it.

[ZinbaProductions]

ROCK THEM OCTOBANS

[nabilnemri]

Mind If you teach me , lol, I am saving up for my first drum!

[manpizza1]

at 4:35 is the most amazing part of the drums to me...great job dude!! Too bad theres not people like you in az cause our band could use a drummer like you

[ParkerBrosProduction]

2:16

What cymbal were you using, please answer, i need a new cymbal for my drum set, and i really love the sound of that one.

[ParkerBrosProduction]

and btw nice cover dude, dream theater is by far my favorite band

[waylonbloodskull666]

since mike quit you should audition to play with them lol, your realllly good at their stuff dude

[Lattesociopati]

@waylonbloodskull666

Mike will be back, trust me.

But thanks:D

[DTmajesty85]

@Lattesociopati Right on man! He's just taking a break. And great stuff here. Best music ever, great drum covers!

[VampiricLover319]

@Lattesociopati Mike never quit. Dream Theater was done their tours so he decided to help out A7X while the rest the band was in off time.

[SigurRosForever]

@Lattesociopati waylonbloodskull666 is right, if it ever happens that mike leaves dream theater with no intention of coming back, you should actually audition to be their new drummer, youre fucking briliant

[drummertristan1997]

@Lattesociopati but what are they going to do until he comes back?

[NeekTheNook]

@Lattesociopati he just wanted a holiday i thinks... 20 years is a hell of a long time without a break

[metalmonkey007888]

@Lattesociopati

Hopefully ... He's currently stuck in a deadbeat band...



[uby54ty06]

@Lattesociopati He won't be back, he tried but failed ):

[imkingofmymind]

@waylonbloodskull666 i agree that this guy is awesome at drums and would be a good substitute... BUT nobody can replace mike portnoy and he will be back

[rbrad1987]

i love this guy cuz he likes this band fukin rock on man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SMstikx7]

start at 0:30

[TheTonioXoret]

now try to sing... JK, nice cover

[MusicalAbsinthe]

The Dark Eternal Night plez?

[Ixirevengeixi]

Amazing work

[LottoDeath]

brilliant dude, but personally i think that your snare is too quiet a lil' bit. :)

[robikcumlik]

your rhythm is a poor.sorry

[MusicalAbsinthe]

@robikcumlik

have you ever even heard of odd time signatures?

[rogamustaine]

@robikcumlik envy

[pheniox547]

[ErikJonssonMusic]

I'm sorry but I find your snare so obnoxious. 

[gmatsue84]

4:36 FUCK YEAH!!

[JoeySingsStuff659]

@gmatsue84 God mode engage ;) :L

[tstewvial8]

I'm very impressed. It makes my drumming look bad.

[JorgeArrieta]

You rock bro!!

[shinigamiismygod]

little messy at 3:19-3:20 its actually more cymbal...but i dont think you have all the cymbals required for that part...mike portnoy is a beast lol
