Agreed, as a big fan of Dream Theater for the last 20 years of so, it's impossible to ignore or forget just how much of Mike Portnoy's soul and spirit is within so much of DT's works. He clearly poured almost every bit of himself into DT (sometimes unheathily so, he'd possibly admit). I'm sorry how things turned out for him with wanting the break from DT and I hope he is mostly happy and comfortable, he does deserve it.

Love the way the toms are placed. I have a 24in base drum 1979 Ludwig. I looks like I have to place the tom mount towards the front of the kick to get the toms right without using a rack system. The problem they toms are big 13 14 15 rack toms.

Awesome!!

Hope to hear another Winery Dogs record later in the year.... maybe? Maybe 2021.

Wow. Impressive!

From childhood I've seen many bands many musicians and after 25 yrs I wanna share to everyone that drummers are the most humble warm hearted and loving musician in all bands Hit like if you agree 🙃

Props to the drum tech.

I have same same drumsticks. Your X420

I wish they covered all heads and tuning in these. that's where the sounds come from. No resonant tom re, snare or BD heads mentioned.

sorry, did you say you tape your 420x sticks..? I thought the X series avoided the tape thing... lol

Waiting for Transatlantic new album..

i like how low your cymbals are (compared to this other mike ...you know...?) finally you have an L shaped XLR connector on your mike.. i still dont get why you do not use a shure beta 56 for vocals ;) made for drum vocals!! ;) cheers!
