Holy Shit! This was INCREDIBLE 🙌 Thank you so much @elestepariosiberiano for this amazing tribute!! 🙏 I’m humbled to have played a small part in the incredible drummer YOU are! 🔥 (and I’m glad I helped get you to lay some good pipe!) 😉😝 I’m going to share this on my socials now as well…
Mike you are a legend!!!
MIKE YOU ARE A LEGEND!! greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Ya puedes correrte, Estepario.
God of the gods
4:19 @Estepario, now you owe 1000 bucks to someone...
Probably one of the few rare instances when Dance of Eternity helped someone to lay some pipe 😆😆😆. And very well deserved brother!
What's funny is the song itself is meant to describe the act of sex in the concept album.
@@gead11 Talk about some awkward sex lmfao
No shit, bro. Any woman who knows the true genius of Dream Theatre…fucking keeper. Or at least one hell of a good lay.
Prog concerts are always a sausage fest. My wife doesn't care if I go see a prog band because she knows there won't be any women there. 🤣
my wife loves DT (because of me)…..but I never get laid anymore because, you know, I did the ONE THING that GUARANTEES you’ll practically NEVER get pussy anymore……I put a fucking ring on it! 🤦♂️🙄🤬
At least I’ll forever have DT to entertain me!!! 🤘🤘
What is really amazing about Mike's performance is that you can actually hear the whole band on his isolated drum tracks.
Underated comment! So true!
daaamn true!!!
Yes! I have been listening to Jordan all over the video. 😂😂
I just saw Mike Portnoy play with John Petrucci on John's solo tour. In the middle of one song, Mike starts playing catch with his drum tech. Seriously, the man was throwing his drum stick towards the side of the stage, kept playing without missing a note, then proceeds to catch the drum stick when it was throw back to him. The man is awesome! Also, it was amazing seeing Portnoy and Petrucci together again. An undeniable duo. 🤘
I so hope they come to Europe. It is always very nice to see him.
was this Milwaukee?
Like chocolate and peanut butter.
Just saw them too last night and I can confirm that he was doing his signature stunts throughout the show. Incredible!!
I saw them in Orlando. Those dudes are absolutely amazing.
Mike Portnoy's musicality is what makes him my favorite drummer. I first listened to Dream Theater in the 90's when I got the Awake cassette. 6 O'clock intro fill still puts a smile on my face every time I hear it. Great story, great break down of the song ,your a monster on the kit!
Right there with ya! Big fan since '92. Folks knock Portnoy for whatever reason, but his creativity creating drum parts is why he's won so many awards and way early induction to the Modern drummer hall of fame. Others can play the parts, but the creative mind to "write" these parts is what sets him apart.
On tape yaa
portnoy is a legend. He delivers some insane drum parts with the utmost taste, creativity and energy. When it comes to the greats it's not about technique, but it's the overall feel and groove they bring to the music. Him and Gavin Harrison are my two favorite drummers.
True this. And it’s not all about how fast he can play.
W
And I like most that he isn't overplaying. Like Bobby Jarzombek. They both could and did. Mike in Liquid Tension and Bobby in Spastic Ink- not really overplaying, but more intense.
utmost
Ha! Me too. Gavin, yeah! I would add Anika Nilles, Ash Soan, a bit of everything!
For me the most amazing part of these reactions of yours is the lack of unhealthy ego.
You are amazingly strong soul not because of your muscles (which now I know are necessary for your healthy spine) but because of your strong heart, honesty and humble approach and respect for everything you do.
I think you have very little idea HOW MUCH you are contributing to the shift of consciousness on this planet in the field of love for music.
THANK YOU
Mike Portnoy is one of those rare drummers who made a difference in Metal and drummers who are wanting to learn new stuff to play. One of the best drummers in hard rock.
@hitmeupontelegramestepario_sib What kind of pedals do you use "Trick"....I have owned every good pedal on the market DW-direct drive, Tama Speed Cobras, Trick Dominators, Axis Longboards, etc. The only direct drive pedals i ever loved was "Pearl Demon Drive" Pedals. The best IMO.
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by!
if you want to support my work,
just comment whoever you want me to react next!
THANKS!
😎
❤
You're a legend my man. This is gonna be weird but you should definitely react to JD Beck, that kid is amazing and has a very unique playstyle.
JD beck
Thomas Lang… 🤷🏼♂️
The Mirror beginning drum part switching while the guitar part stays the same or whatever is happening in that song is one of my favorite DT moments.
I got this exact video on VHS, in the 90’s. It changed my life and showed me a world of drumming that I didn’t know existed.
I’ve been a DT fanatic ever since, and have seen them live over 10 times (mostly in the Portnoy era).
You’d be hard-pressed to find a drummer who created as many phenomenal drum parts over the years.
I find that Mike has a lot of Neil Peart in his playing, the way he constructs his drum parts, almost in the way Neil did, take all the elements away and you can still identify the song. The drums are as much a part of the song as the lyrics, Neil was a master at this and Mike too has this in his drum part construction.
Check him out with a band called YYNOT playing 2112 and La Villa Strangiato. So, uh, who is this Estepario? ❤
@@smartervilleonroute66 Estepario is essentially a TH-camr (hope my assumption is correct) who through immense skill, humour, showmanship has taken the drumming world by storm. The dude is a BEAST!!
Love Portnoy’s work with Liquid Tension Experiment. Phenomenally creative drumming.
In a similar vein, how about you react to Bozzio’s work with Bozzio, Levin, Stevens? (Lots of good flamenco to be found there.)
Other suggestions would be Sebastian Lanser playing with Panzer Ballet, or anything by Marco Minneman.
Thanks for your channel. Keep up the good work.
I prefer him much more in Transatlantic and Neal Morse Band
@@MrEnsiferum77 different style. He was more creative with DT and LTE but that was called for by the music. NMB is a more tame style for sure.
@@a.s.henderson483 Hi bro. You just named 3 monster players. I would sell my soul to be able to play like any one of them.
Was lucky to see LTE live! Back to back same night.
I try to figure out what impresses me more: the backstory or the fact that it took you only 7 days to learn the Dance of eternity. I hope you two did the pillow-Dance of eternity after you played the Song 😂
Pillow dance of for-now-cation
@@Hardcorepunk87 69
It's incredible what a young man will achieve in 7 days for sex with a beautiful girl.
And yes, we all have heard a lot of drummers all around the world but the MUSICALITY of Mike is unique and maybe on top of the drumming history!
What's fantastic about The Dance of Eternity is that Mr. Portnoy not only managed to write one of the most iconic drum lines ever created for a progressive piece, he also made it with rudiments and patterns every drummer in a basic to intermediate level is able to play.
Not only that, every groove fits like a glove with the melodic parts of the song. The drums in this song are so musical they don't need thousands of extra notes, it's just what's necessary to make the drums, like Stepario says, flow with the song.
"no one has seen before" hahah, I bought that DVD when it came out
Perfect timing. Was just drumming the Outro to The Glass Prison a few minutes ago.
Is incredible how can you basically hear the other instruments in your head only with the drum track 🤯
Drums are the pulse
Agreed. It's wild!
His 'Purple Monster' is my number 1 drum sound I have ever heard, I can't never replicate those masterpiece of set
I agree! best drums iv ever heard. That snare 😵😵😵😵 unbelievable
@@Knibbej true, those toms also, pin stripe head is just perfect.
Mike Portnoy has to be my favorite drummer of all time!
It's a 3-way tie between Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, and Bobby Jarzombek for me.
Animal from the Muppets
Don't worry, you'll evolve.
Thomas Lang
Awesome list. Here's my inspiration.
Thomas Lang. Todd Sucherman. Ryuga. Mike Portnoy. Akira Jimbo
Mike Portnoy is one of my biggest inspirations for getting into drumming. I remember spending hours upon hours listening to Panic Attack over and over to learn it's drum parts... I practiced until my fingers bled!
When I was learning drums I felt like I could come up with interesting grooves but my fills were boring. My teacher asked, "Can you play KKRL?", which I could, and he then sat on the kit to demonstrate lots of variations: different tom and snare combinations, accents, placements, crashes and splashes in every possible place, etc. and they all sounded great.
"You already now how to play fills, you just have to create them."
Mike Portnoy's drumming always reminds me of this. Linear patterns, solid hits and, most importantly, lots of attention to the music can take you really far.
His pure honesty is refreshing! He is incredibly talented and it's an honor to watch his videos!!!🤘
Sin duda, hubo una época en la que portnoy era el tío más original y creativo en el mundo de la batería, logrando sobresalir en un grupo en el que todos los músicos eran mastodontes.
Mr. Mike Portnoy is not a gift to the drums but to the music… and that’s why he’s not replaceable.
Saludos desde Chile, bestia!!
Best description of Portnoy on YT
Puessss
Two high level drummers giving each other props is great to see....and hear.
my 7 year old son is about to get his first set. he loves to see you play. I am going to have him do some of the exercises in your videos. You are amazing.
Right there with ya! Big fan since '92. Folks knock Portnoy for whatever reason, but his creativity creating drum parts is why he's won so many awards and way early induction to the Modern drummer hall of fame. Others can play the parts, but the creative mind to "write" these parts is what sets him apart.
What do people say when they knock portnoy? Im not trying to be a dick just haven’t heard/read anyone knock him before curious what the criticisms are?..
@@pablo66669 they say he’s overrated and overuses linear single stroke fills
@@pablo66669 Oh, they're out there. He's terrible, this and that. Check out some comments on some of his videos. Like the folks commenting are any better. Lol. Mike is awesome.
Portnoy and Carey are probably the best creative modern day prog metal drummers. Favourites of mine for sure.
I don't think they are really "modern" anymore. It's more like they are among the biggest influences of modern prog drummers. And this is NO disrespect, I just look at the whole picture a bit differently.
@@Mulukkis fair enough. Never really thought about it but, ya they're both in the later stages of their careers. I would agree.
And they both learned from the one and only Neil Peart.
Literally one of my 3 fav drummers. Him, Neil Peart, and The Rev all made me want to play drums.
Excellent presentation brother, what I love the most about him is how smooth he can travel throughout the nuances of the other players. I discover this band back in 1992 and it help me deal with a broken heart...I had lost my brother and music from them helped and inspired me to become a better drummer. Hands down to you hermano...Como el me ha inspirado en 30+ años, tu has logrado mi respeto como batero. Cheers
THANK YOU!!! To me musicality is something that alot of drummers have lost. It's all about how fast we can go or how amazingly technical we can be when we should just sit back and find what the song needs. I promise you if you try to play everything as fast as possible it's gonna sound like spazzing out shit lol. Musicality, remember the word. Great vid bro 🤘
How great it would have been to have had Mike portnoy and Neil peart do a drum battle together...
Neil you are missed.....
Mike is a beast....
Nunca he tocado una batería, nunca había puesto tanta atención a una, pero como lo muestras invita a escuchar, aprender y experimentar mucho más del mundo de las percusiones. Tienes un talento único.
Thank you for not overlaying the drums with the music.
I was surprised, that I really could hear the music from my memory and recognize the song parts he was drumming.
Such amazingly musical drumming.
Impresionante. Yo me he quedado hipnotizada oootra vez con este hombre. Mike Portnoy es una fantasía, un espectáculo 🖤
This was awesome. One of my favourite drummers has always been Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden. I’m not a drummer but have always loved the musicality even with his 1000 piece kit.
Clive was better
On a less technical level, there is a drummer that's legendary in my circles for the musicality he used to bring to his drum tracks, a real ability to elevate simple songs to another level. Listen to Uli Kusch's work from back when he was the drummer for Helloween.
I taught myself using this dvd. It is an absolutely incredible tool for drum learning and progression, from one of the greatest drummers ever. Amen to every sentiment in this video
Este video, lo miraba iba a la secundaria con 15, 16 años... Grande Mike un Bestia de la bateria! Saludos desde Argentina!
Portnoy is the youngest Modern Drummer Hall of Fame inductee ever for good reason.
This is the most METAL TH-cam video EVER!! Portnoy’s work in The Dance of Eternity one of the best drum tracks of all time! This video deserves the biggest devil horns of all time!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
So AWESOME, never heard of the son. Dude is on it. Must listen to the song with the other members.
Great sounding drums Mike's using, especially that snare. The huge purple Tamas!
The Purple Monster. He also had Green & Red, for Europe & Japan. The purple is my favorite though.
MP was a significant part of my musical education so the dance of eternity is engraved in my memory. As for the next drummer, either Marco Minnemann or Virgil Donati.
Marco is absolutely incredible and so humble. I saw him in a clinic, then got to go out to dinner afterwards with him & Chad Wackerman. Such a cool memory
Did you watch both of them doing the DT audition?
Brilliant drumming from both gentlemen in this video. Your understanding of drumming is very impressive. Mike Portnoy is just so good. Not just a great drummer but an amazing musician. I'm so grateful for this video. 🙏
I listened to this song so many times in the early 2000s that I can still hear it along with the drums
So, the chance of getting your leg over is probably the key motivator for practice.
Noted.
;-)
Fun Fact: I saw Mike sing the ending few bars of "Surrounded" after James threw a huge tantrum and stalked offstage in a fit of pique - Nottingham Rock City, 1992.
Lol. What happened? Was it a PA system issue that made him upset?
@@Elevenbravo_ABN
:)
An audience member (who was quite drunk and out of key as I recall) started singing with him as the moment overtook restraint.
James span around, slapped his mic against a bass drum and stomped offstage - absolute Diva moment. They finished up with Mike singing, then played Bombay Vindaloo...........and the support band were Damn the Machine with Chris Poland on guitar!
Awesome gig.
@@MercutioUK2006
If only someone had been video recording! It Sounds like funny incident, though I can almost understand getting annoyed as a performer, when you’re putting your heart and soul into your singing.
@@Elevenbravo_ABN Oh, for sure. Then a whole gaggle of roadies came out looking hard and threw the guy out - THAT was bullshit. No real videos kicking around at the time, but I shall always remember it. That, and for some reason one of the guys in DtM was wearing a massive foam stetson!
Muy buena Estepario 👏👏👏 siempre es un gusto ver que alguien que realmente sabe de este maravilloso instrumento honra al genial Mike Portnoy 👍
Ojalá hagas más videos con esta temática y.. long live the máster Mike!!
Used to watch this DVD every day. In the menu you had the option of selecting different camera angles. Loved this DVD man
He learned the song & got the girl!!! Greatest story ever!!
Absolutely amazing... For me this is the best drum track ever and he is the best in business. Thanks for existing Mike!
Cualquiera que practique horas y horas, puede tocar Dance of eternity, pero solo alguien con un talento increible puede componer "Dance of eternity".
Exacto!!! Es componer algo así!! Otro nivél!!
fffffffffffuck yeah
I absolutely agree. I listen do the music that's playing behind a certain seen on a movie and I think of the person that created all of it and thought it all up.
Awesome video, Portnoy was huge for my development as well. I had a similar experience when I learned Schism from Tool, it really blew my mind open to what can be done on the drums.
I heard this song by chance and as soon as Mike came in with the drums I was locked in until the song was over. I had to listen to it over and over again just to understand everything that was happening, it's been so fun coming back every time and picking it apart a little more so I can get an even deeper look into it.
Scenes from a memory es uno de mis discos favoritos de todos los tiempos
Nunca tuve un álbum favorito hasta que me sugirieron escuchar Metrópolis PT2.Cuanto derroche de talento y creatividad por parte de Dream Theather, su música es una fuente de inspiración y recursos inagotables.Grande Mike Portnoy!!!Excelente reacción bro...Saludos✋🏻
Aside from amazing chops, his mind for composition is other-worldly. I love his hi-hat, ride and splash accents on 'These Walls'. Absolutely my favorite drummer of all time.
Great video! Liquid drum theater is a gem from start to finish, Portnoy is a true legend, and those few years at the turn of the millennium were just pure magic... miss those times.
El más grande de todos llevo más de 15 años aprendiendo con ese mounstro, cada composición en Dream Theater es una locura y en LTE y OSI es magnífico lo que hace, por los siglos de los siglos siempre será el #1 para mí. Gracias Mike Portnoy 🔥
Portnoy is the most creative metal drummer. This song is a masterpiece!
My favorite drummer...
Jason Rullo >>>>>>>> portnoy
Jorge, your passion and your innate goodness bring me to tears.
What a great analysis .
I'm gonna go listen to the song now if I can find it .
❤
I grow up with that hole album doing "air drumming" with my old brother. Two years ago I saw DT on live.
This song is basically the most important song of my life, maybe.
Damn, that is the best and most detailed breakdown of this masterpiece I have ever seen! I may not be a drummer, but I did understand his explaining and all those things that I feel listening to this song (a few tenths of thousands of times that I have) came to a deep understanding to me. We all thank the god himself, Mike Portnoy for the stellar talent, the hard work and the love for the fans. And for sharing with us the creative genius he and Dream Theater are!
Thank you for great vids !
do Neil Peart next. He also my favourite drummer as portnoy as.
Thanks for this video! Mike Portnoy's drumming can looks "simple" but when you listen to the details it's amazing! and to play it right on time with the band is incredible!
Two of my favorite drummers! I can't believe you pulled this off in a week! There are videos just breaking down the time signature changes on this one! Legend!
Who else thinks this guy should make a paid membership lesson thing. I love hearing him explain the drums in my favourite songs and it really helps when learning that piece.
Mr. Mike Portnoy never been the best drummer, but he still IS one of the best composer/musician/songwriter/producer, etc all in one. His musicality is flowless, and He is a living legend. He was very kind in person too, such a great memory, I feel lucky that I could talk to him and he was very patient :)
His DT Era is one of a kind, but also his side projects too, absolutely love his work from around 98-2006 (and eversince) both in DT and in other bands. SDOIT one of the most underrated DT album, but his drumming on that album IMO one of his best work ever throughout the double disk.
Live at Budokan drum cam full video is something every musicians should watch at least ones. I watched it 1000x times though :D
I always enjoy your videos, and of course, I am big van of Mike Portnoy as well. You have such a great philosophy for life. One that I am drawn to. And of course, I love your drumming. Keep doing what you do! and Thank You for sharing your music and words of wisdom. :)
Tremendo análisis te mandaste Estepario!!! 👏👏👏 La primera vez que escuché a Mike quedé pirando (flipando, como dicen ustedes) por un buen tiempo. Saludos desde Uruguay!!! 🇺🇾
Just so everyone knows, YES, Neil Peart was doing those high-hat accents with arm cross-over sticking LONG before Mike Portnoy. He was ALSO doing tom fills from low to high tom before Mike Portnoy.
FACT: Mike Portnoy was HEAVILY influenced by Neil Peart.
This why MP is much better than Mangini into the DT music and a better musician at all.
He has a sort of symphonic approach with drum orchestration that fit perfect with other instruments not just in rhythm but in melody too.
That is the reason for the huge amount of pieces of his kits.
Thank you so much for , discussing this tune, in your way, very informative, especially when you gave an advice for singing the difficult part instead of to calculating
I'm not a drummer but I really enjoy his creativity and musicality... it change the way i see music... and it helps me in my music career...
La magia de Portnoy es hacer que todos los demás brillen, su musicalidad y acompañamiento son increíbles, mi número uno.
I miss Portnoy in DT ;-(
we all do, buddy. DT hasn't been the same without him.
Everybody does
I didn’t even know DT was still making music. 😂 i mean… without Portnoy it’s not really DT…🤷🏼♂️
Amazing.. breakdown, knowledge, skill .. very educational, bad ass, and great back story ... brilliantly explained... and quite straightforward and hella funny. Much respect to Mike Portnoy and your tribute to him. Always phenomenal ✨️
La danza de la eternidad...Desde que escuche esa canción y vi ese mismo video que estas mostrando de Portnoy.Mi vida cambió por completo.Sin dudas Mike Portnoy es uno de los que dió esa vuelta de rosca en la bateria.Sigo admirandolo tanto a el como a vos Siberiano! Sos una Bestia total..Podes tocar los temas de Portnoy hasta con una mano.Veo que lo admiras mucho.Seguí con estos videos que enseñan a la gente algo diferente.Te mando un saludo
Gavin Harrison???
This guy understands that it's one thing to play someone else's drum parts but it's another thing all together to create those parts in your head from a blank slate. Thank you for paying respect to one of the greatest Prog drummers of all time.
Same! Hearing and learning Dream-Theater songs really changed my drumming. Just like what you said, it opened up a lot of ways for me on how to play the drums. First song I learned was A fortune in lies and it took me a while to learn it. Then I heard Ytse Jam and Metropolis - Part I: "The Miracle and the Sleeper". Those songs changed everything! So thank you Mike Portnoy. You changed a lot of lives. Stay inspiring!
Wow 1st Mario on here & now Mike..
Feel privileged to be part of this community.
Another insightfull awesome lesson/video.
Thanks dude.. excellent work laying pipe 🤣😂.. anyone who can learn this in a week deserves a reward. 🍻
This is the best analysis of TDOE I've ever seen, incredibly informative and also very funny at the same time. And yeah, Mike is a genius, my favorite drummer ever since I heard him for the first time almost 22 years ago.
Man, I love this Guy! I love watching you play, I love the way analyze each individual part show it’s complications!
Thank you for all your videos there’s not one that I can say was OK, they’re all awesome. Just stay humble and appreciative like you always have been! Rock🤟On
At last one video about the king of the musically friendly drumming... Thank you for all mike.. You are my inspiration for my playstyle..
This song DEFINITELY affected my playing. I used to play along to most of this album... One of my favorites.
This guy is awesome. His playing is as good as I've heard, plus he's got a great attitude on everything
I JUST LOVE YOUR HONEST AND STRAIGHT FORWARD ATTITUDE .
Thanks so much! So glad to see this review of the king!
I'd also love to hear you do a review of some of Haken's stuff. Ray is the next Portnoy!
I am not a drummer. But i like to see drummers drumming. Mike is one of my favorites. You already was one of my favorites, but now i respect you so much more.
Keep hitting those drums. And high hats of course. ❤
Ciao Esterpario, I've been following you for at least 1 year now. Thanks for all the all quality content, every single of yours is entertaining and inspiring. This track is also part of my youth, and to see that broke down so effectively makes me want to sit on a drum kit again. But having said that, here's my suggestion: I'd love to see some video react with any of the Symphony X's songs. Cheers from Italy, wish we could see you live one day ;)
Thank you so much for this video. I love Mike Portnoy and DT as well. He is the Reason why I love drums. And he do have, just like you, a great and Amazing quality: watching the both of you playing, tough I ma sure I’ll never reach your level, makes me wanna stop everything I am doing and go practice and playing drums. Thank you.
Still my favorite drum track by MP is 6:00. So god damn groovy and innovative.
You are spot on about Mike. His brilliance is not at all about technique or exceptional complexity, it has always been about creativity and musicality. And for that he was one of my favorites for a long time. Howerer I felt he lost a lot of that in the 2000s and I still mostly listen to his/their older stuff. But I still love the guy.
Mike Portnoy is the man that brought me to pick up the sticks in the first place, such an inspirational drummer and amazing composer.
You should check out Jay Postones from TesseracT, outstanding technique and composition there too.
Ya're so right dude.... i listen to Mr Mike Portnoy since 25 years now.... and he is ,for me , the Best Drummer for what you said MUSICALITY... THANKS so much for this video... stay true stay metal and long live to all the drummers all around the world 😂
I really love his playing on fatal tragedy
I'm a guitarist. Portnoy is my fave Dream Theater member. Without him, the songs get lost.
Es genial todo el trabajo que vienes logrando, y que Portnoy dedique esas palabras muestra lo inmenso que es y un poco también hasta donde llego el Estepario!
