[@GillBoldberg]

This song is actually by Neal Morse (not Dream Theater) from his album “One”. I highly recommend checking out all of his albums in which Mike plays drums on all of them.

[@TheGhostNotePodcast]

Oh dude! Thanks so much. My thumbnails a lil off then 😅😅😅

[@r.a.fiallos234]

His cymbal work is so freakin awesome. So tasty with all stacks, splashes, little trinkets and whatnot. And when he cuts loose, guy is a BEAST!

[@eddyweloveu]

興農牛！！
Mike wore a former Taiwanes baseball league team jersey. That's cool😂

[@SebaProgre]

The song is from Neal Morse's album "One" (2004)

[@orphydianmusic9529]

Fir more of these duet or duel Solis between his drums and guitars check Constant motion from his original band Dream theater

[@SebaProgre]

There's a typo in the title... it's "author"

[@ericforte1867]

I’m a huge MP fan… my favorite drummer, but that intro was a complete snooze-fest. Sure, sometimes less is more, but that intro… I was just looking forward to it ending. If they had done it for just a couple of measures it would’ve been cool. That being said… the rest of the song is fire. Like you said, the end is ridiculous. Great reaction!

[@TheGhostNotePodcast]

Thank you! Yeah… let’s just call that intro a warm up exercise 😅
