Being able to play this music is one thing, bit writing it to begin with is what made the Portnoy era of DT truly incredible.

Its also cool seeing how different some of these parts are from the final recordings. How much he develops the parts as they track. And also how challenging some of it was that he was pushing himself on this album which really set up the next albums. You can see the heavy factor really start on this album.

People still don't realize Portnoy wrote the 12 steps spanning over many albums. Each of the albums selected songs that are part of the 12 step concept reflect on each other to tie the whole story together over many albums. It's stuff like that that makes portnoy a superior writer and not just a good drummer. So for people who say this song sounds like this other song, that's why. It's intentional.

I heard fortune on the radio for first time in like the late 80s ... being a drummer and hearing the middle part where he and John lock in that sick pattern I was like “ who the f is this guy and band?!’ They immediately bridged the prog rock I loved with the 70s with metal ..changed my music life

I love how mike played the drums to solitary shell wearing a kiss my ass shirt...little things like that shine a goofy reality onto the recording process...a singer recording these super emotional vocal parts in between the bouts of scream shitting from the bad chinese food that got delivered to the studio

Mikes playing makes even a non drummer want to be better... Great example of how good a person can become if they work at it. ~A

Federico Ceri if I got my facts straight, MP tried to return but DT refused and kept mike mangini as to as they say “show that we do not hire temporary members”. I love MP and I want him back, but I understand DT, because MP decided to leave, then came mike mangini and there cannot be turning back cuz imagine them telling Mike Mangini “hey y’know we all wanted and needed you here with us cuz MP left and we needed a technically gifted drummer who can play the older DT songs and create new albums with us but now that MP wants to return, we want to tell ya goodbye. Aight, we gonna head out, bye!”

Your every thing even if complete and fast is so perfect and musical. Thank you for your music and your technique

Mike from ARGENTINA, DT isnt the same without you 🙏 come back

The hole funkin album is a masterpiece...

Wow amazing perfection. Mike is the man. One of the greats for a reason. It cannot be faked. Way to go buddy.

MP is a WIZARD!!!

Wow. I think 6DOIT is by far my most favorite drumming mike has ever done! just true and outstanding insanity mess, crafted into creativity, awesomeness, dexterity, and mind warping epicenes! I am bummed out about a few parts thought... Like how they didn't show that crazy awesome solo in the beginning of "the test that stumped them all" or it would have been super epic if he had ended the video with the ending drum fill and gong hit! And they could have shown like 10-20 seconds of Despair!

Thanks mike for the video

thx 4 the upload mike... awesome !!

23:00 to 25:00 best of the best

Of the best drummers in history for my taste.

the best ever drummer to the world , i love it mike !!! you are amazing, hugs from to argentina !! you are legend !!!

I'm guitarist but enjoy to watch him

Mike - I really love everything that you have done and speak about. You are a true treasure to the music industry which has turned so goddam bad that it is scary. I will always support what you do - (unless you start wearing Michaelo Angelo wigs and Evil Kanevil jumpsuits). Thank you for how true you are and all you have done and said to a great many people that listen to you and respect your values and believes in life and this fucked-up industry which has become the music business of 2018 - future - you are one of the very true left, music talent level and attitude and very true level of honesty. Thank you for all you have done. If I had any money that I could give - it would be to you dude... 2nd side of Hemispheres all the way man....

there is mike, and there is Mike.

truly great Drummer

I'm lucky to have seen Mike in a drum clinic in 1998 and met him my favourite drummer of all time beating out Peter Criss n Eric Carr All hail the new God 🤘🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁🥁

Simplesmente o melhor!!!
