Mike is so good he can change his clothes and tie up his hair while playing, AND HE NEVER MISSED A BEAT!

It says a lot about how good a drummer is when a drum part for a song sounds like a tune in itself.

Well the song was actually made by him, so it kind of makes sense in that case

When 10 minutes of plain drums have beginning, developing, end and make a meaningful musical piece ...

The idiots who complain about portnoy using similar patterns in quite a lot of his drum fills fail to realize this simple thing. There is more to drumming than flashy fills and that includes playing drums as per the demands of the song. Portnoy does that better than almost every other prog metal drummer who might actually be more technical than him.

I've listened to this song countless times but I've never noticed until now all the ghost notes he hits in the section after the breakdown. That's freaking insane.

Oh yeah same! Kind of get lost in the final mix a bit hey

His drum parts are always catchy, memorable, and musical. Appealing to drummers and non/ air drummers alike.

I respect him for filming himself recording all those songs. It is so geat for a drummer who's taking influences from him

What a delicious drum sound, best sound MP and DT ever had drum wise, imo

It's best of time

Though I've not heard every song Dream Theater has produced, I still believe this is one of the very best. Exceptional in every way.

I'm exhausted just hearing this...

9:58 love it so much

the best live performance musician for 12 years, the drummer that every guitarist in the world dreams to play with, you man is a legend

The groove is insane. I'm lovin' it.

I get lost in time and space listening to MP....so good!!

Thanks for the videos Mike! Amazing as usual!

Fantástico video. Él hace lo que hay que hacer para que el tema salga redondo. Por eso es uno de los grandes.

my inspiration✌️

Que criatividade 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

CHE MOSTRO ASSOLUTO!

That fucking snare!

Remember It's Mike Portnoy....

Como hay 6 personas a las que no le gusta esto?????? Es porque no pueden hacerlo jaja

nice

Why it come to my mind. What if lars ulrich play this drum fill 😂

I don't see HD D:

Anthofuckinmithologic!!!!

dave lombardo style??

Sometimes at certain angles he looks like Brian Quinn

Can someone tell me: Around 6:00 Minutes it sounds kinda like there is another layer of drums going on. Like the snare is doubled with a some low floor toms. Is that my brain or is it actually on the recording but from a different session. I mean obviously this would require more than two hands so it would have to be a seperate recording.
