The reason I keep coming back to this is because at 4:04 onwards he hits the snare on the same note in each bar, while moving all around the kit. A true master of the kit at work
omegapwnZZ Usually I can follow a drum line by watching what each hand is doing seperately. Didn't work this time! Had to follow each piece of hardware seperately. Insane
Everytime someone says Portnoy is overrated I come here for comfort and reaffirmation, especially at 04:04. I really don't see any other drummer of his age doing something like this.
Travis Barker does alot of these fills but outside of these two, I don't hear it much anywhere. Symphony X sort of approached this without going full in, but that was the late 90's..... :\
@@ShmeeGrim Oh yeah Panic Attack is also great! It was actually the last song I played before I got tendinitis and had to lay off drums for around 8 weeks lol
@@acgm046 It was at first, but once you've practiced it enough you really get into the flow of it and you can start to improvise with variances of it, as I think Portnoy is doing here as well. It gets tougher when he moves to the stacks on every up-beat though lol
Hands down one of the most well written and technically proficient drum pieces. The pull it creates during that guitar solo is massive! I used to re-listen from the solo breakdown onwards on my green iPod nano for hours on end whilst teaching myself to play the drums.
The thing I like about Portnoy, other than his amazing writing and playing ability, is the fact that he uses ALL the pieces in his kit at some point. There aren't any extraneous things that only get used once or twice per set (with the exception of the gong used in Six Degrees). The most amazing drummer ever.
Man just used every single drum and cymbals in his set.. crazy drumming this. The amount of energy required to keep going on non stop for 6+ minutes.. 🥵🥵
Absolutely wild to see Portnoy casually jam to this! So much going on and different time signatures! This song took me forever to learn but I’m proud I can get anywhere close to this beast of a drummer! I’m really mad that no one is talking about Portnoys vocals that echo/duet with the lead singer!??? I was so pissed once I learned this song only to discover he’s also singing while playing this 🥹 Insaneeeee! Easily one of the greatest drummers of all time! Top 4 or 3, without a doubt no one can tell me otherwise. Now I gotta go listen to Panic Attack 😂
Practice is one factor. Plus when you become acustom to your instrument, especially for playing it for that many years you really don't have too much trouble coming up with or remembering things.
God damn that breakdown in the middle fucks me in the ears everytime, trying to play that shit fuck me, I can get like a quarter into it then I'm lost.
Dude's crushing it he sounds amazing his set looks amazing his fills are gigantic his technique is perfect it's double bass is immaculate I love dream theater also nice shirt
There is lots of cut in the video bro'. It's from the Making Of of the album Systematic choas, that's why. But yeah he can do that during a full live show
This is definitely the best work of portnoy, not my favourite overall but the fact that he does a third of all of the vocals while doing relatively hard parts..... And then the instrumental section.... Mike portnoy is at his best in this song
I hate how much people complain about people doing a bad cover of a song, saying ,"you fucked up!" Even mike missed up on a few cymbal crashes. I love mike, he is my favorite drummer. but go to his myspace page and listen to this song with secluded drums covering up this vid. turn the volume off on the vid and listen to the drums alone. you'll see. Mike portnoy rocks!!!!!
You know what. I think Mike Portnoy doesn't know a damn thing about "rudiments" and "class", and that's why his drumming is so great. He fits DT well, and that is ALL that matters.

The drumming during the guitar solo is pure genius.
I could listen to it for hours ! Oh wait ! I do !
lebaiiii
@@avipnrmnsyh ya emg gk gampang bang buat dilakonin di bagian part itu
Up until now, I havent see any good cover of this part. Even mangini couldn't do it. The groove is too hard on this one.
I know right.
4:04 this is why Portnoy was special
Was?
Go up
meaning "was special for DT", I suppose.
manixpc you will never hear anything like this from Mangini .......EVER
@@patdonovan8368 obviously
The reason I keep coming back to this is because at 4:04 onwards he hits the snare on the same note in each bar, while moving all around the kit. A true master of the kit at work
Mangini still struggles with this part.
When I was new to DT and I heard this part, I thought someone else is hitting the snare cause how can he do a roll while doing a constant snare beat 😂
4:04
Portnoy's final form
he hits the snare every 2nd and 4th quarter note, while doing everything else, listen for it, its godly
omegapwnZZ Usually I can follow a drum line by watching what each hand is doing seperately. Didn't work this time! Had to follow each piece of hardware seperately. Insane
Totally agree. Ultimate Mike Portnoy.
And starting at 4:50, he hits the chinese(?) cymbal on the & of pretty much every beat, while still doing the snare backbeats. Insane
@Wednesday I don't know who is more technical...but I know one thing 200%: Portnoy is a genius!
5:53 he hit 6 fuckin' cymbals at once
Wtf!!
Everytime someone says Portnoy is overrated I come here for comfort and reaffirmation, especially at 04:04. I really don't see any other drummer of his age doing something like this.
The idea is massive and well executed
Its mesmerizing. The song itself is so unique i constantly caught myself thinking if its because its so odd or pue geniality ( might be both)
It's cool but the sticking is not complicated... basically single strokes, just hitting different things.
@@aakkoin Yes, but the coordination and the syncopation it's what makes that pattern tricky to play
Travis Barker does alot of these fills but outside of these two, I don't hear it much anywhere. Symphony X sort of approached this without going full in, but that was the late 90's..... :\
From 4:04 to the ending this gives me goosebumps. Portnoy is a genius.
From my experience, this is one of the best DT songs to play as a drummer by far. It is so fun
Fun my ass, it's dowright brutally painful :))
Keeping that groove going during Petrucci's solo must be TOUGH AF.
This and Panic Attack are tied for my favorite to play
@@ShmeeGrim Oh yeah Panic Attack is also great! It was actually the last song I played before I got tendinitis and had to lay off drums for around 8 weeks lol

4:05 Why is Mike Portnoy such a badass? Literally my favorite part of the song
@Ash ish Because it's fucking awesome, and hard as hell to play.
@Ash ish because you would have to keep up to 3 differents time signatures only in your instrument. hahah
4:05 starts one of the greatest drum grooves ever played. 4:40 is when he kicks it up a notch with that ride cymbal.
if mike portnoy sits down at his drums he becomes something "more" than a drummer, hes something like a scientist on the drums! simply amazing...
Facial expressions
yes. indeed very well put
his right hand at 4:41... Its like floating and hitting everything. Magic
My favorite era are always 1999-2009. I missed those eras. Those are always my favorite songs.

Mangini could only DREAM of creating such a complex AND tasteful drum solo.
Kesini gra2 difacebook dimixing dengan lagunya vierra dengarkan curhatku.
Ok...as a guitar player...at 4:04...that's one of the best musical things I've ever heard...Mike Portney is a genius.
Petrucci + Portnoy = one of best music creation
Dream Theater: How many drums can you hit one one beat?
Mike Portnoy: Yes.
Man just used every single drum and cymbals in his set.. crazy drumming this. The amount of energy required to keep going on non stop for 6+ minutes.. 🥵🥵
He is in constant motion
Seriously. That is one of the most technical things I've ever heard on drums. The first time I heard that part I was just in awe. Amazing.
nevermind...
@@alanchristopher2024 Me too!
I'm currently practicing on 4:04, on drums. Wish me luck
Good fucking luck bro. lol
Good luck
Yo i'm trying it out right now :)
Checking in a year later...how did it go?
@@dreadbull5039 I'd like to know too...
Mike Portnoy is a fucking god...
Its just perfect
i like the creativity of the drums in this song. innovative.
When I was new to DT and I heard 4:05, I thought someone else is hitting the snare cause how can he do a roll while doing a constant snare beat 😂
I noticed the cymbals playing from the record and I end up get that ‘yes’ feeling watching Portnoy playing here
13 years since this video is up and I remember watching it just when it came out… This song rocked then and will always rock! Thanks Portnoy for this.
Mike is a God!!! What else can you say, the grooves, fills, time signatures, are phenominal
Mike is maybe the Best! Fun to watch this guy play.
The control he has is AMAZING
Absolutely wild to see Portnoy casually jam to this! So much going on and different time signatures! This song took me forever to learn but I’m proud I can get anywhere close to this beast of a drummer!

That kit is just OMFG....GIMMEEEE!!!!!!!!
ohhh hail portnoy!
the verse riff and the way he sings in the verse with the backup singer as well kind of gives you that metallica feel
4:05
thank you, sir
A great example of why MP was irreplaceable.👍😎🐐
it's insane how his brain can manage all of that at 4:05. Always an amazing drummer.
amazing... this guy is out of this world man, i'm telling you!
mike is just mad... much legend, many wow
Mike Portnoy in a Lamb of God shirt is enough awesomeness to make a lesser man's head explode.
seen them live, amazing.
mike is by far the best drummer ever in my eyes
I love at the end when he gives a nod, sort of like "yeah, that wasn't too bad".
this is really good drumming, his precision and just feel are excellent..truly outstanding drummer
no one in the history is more creative than mike portnoy on high hat ....
except Danny Carey
he's the best drummer for me now!
Only him...That's it, he is the GOD of drumming....
I invented the drum kit
The MASTER ...
Still my fave of all...
Definitely this generation's most creative drummer!
Nice bro
the best drummer on the world and in the whole universe...........he's the man
from about to 4:05 - 5:02 is one of the scariest drum compositions ive ever seen
Practice is one factor. Plus when you become acustom to your instrument, especially for playing it for that many years you really don't have too much trouble coming up with or remembering things.
This video brings me home.
God damn that breakdown in the middle fucks me in the ears everytime, trying to play that shit fuck me, I can get like a quarter into it then I'm lost.
i was gonna coment just that. i can't even improv that damn part! D: hahah
Yeah!!!!
mike Portnoy es mi baterista preferido, me ha sorprendido una vez mas
The Albino Monster is probably my favorite Portnoy kit. Just because of the smaller side portion of it. The John Bonham setup.
we should all refer to the godly drum part at 4:05 as ‘THAT part in constant motion’
Dude's crushing it he sounds amazing his set looks amazing his fills are gigantic his technique is perfect it's double bass is immaculate I love dream theater also nice shirt
Thanks
This song shifts time signatures a lot, especially in the intro, where it switches between 5/8, 4/4, 15/16, and even 17/16. 0_0
HE GIVE SO MUCH PASSION!
That style metallica riff..the Dream Theater monster of prog metal🤟🤟🤟
he has a lot of stamina, I can see that he doesn't tired at all
There is lots of cut in the video bro'. It's from the Making Of of the album Systematic choas, that's why.
But yeah he can do that during a full live show
5:55 W T F
He hit every cymbal in like .01 second
Lol
damn he never miss on hitting his drummm
No words!!!!! He's the Best!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!
This is definitely the best work of portnoy, not my favourite overall but the fact that he does a third of all of the vocals while doing relatively hard parts..... And then the instrumental section.... Mike portnoy is at his best in this song
Portnoy Rules.........
100% agree...man comes up with brilliant drums pieces. And he can execute them so crisply...amazing. Can't wait to see them play in may! WOO
Great song heard it on guitarmaggedon cd
This is a DT's one kickass song.
+Fouad shinigami with great determination, why not? \m/
The best of world!!!!!!
i love his double bass kick...its just amazing
This guys is a beast.
Mike is the best drummer atm...
His signature Pro Mark 7a 420 Millennium's. I love those sticks. Pro Mark makes the best drum sticks hands down.
one and only!!!!!!!!!
yeahh dude that's the point anyone can do the same but only drummers like him can write such amazing drumming stuff like this
para mi el mejor del mundo!!!
awesome song...awesome drummer...awesome shirt
100,000 calories burned.
Still in awe in 2019
the kit is awesome and a great drummer playing them love the log t shirt
o man i love that riff!
Bes tDrummer In The World

Mike portnoy rocks!!!!!
i love this song! even Lbrie's nazalised voice has changed really awesome song!
yeah.. INSANE!!
4:00 is the best part!
Ke sini lagi gara2 konten portnoy cover lagu vierra ga ilang2 di kepala😂
bull portnoy is one of the best drummers in the world
thats a pretty cool groove right there! perhaps the only true Portnoyesk drum groove on SC. I miss them...
Exactly! Listen to spurious everybody, he understands how music works!
His jungle drums in the start of Ticks & Leeches... amazing, no one can reproduce that with the same feel to it.
That's Tool, not Dream Theater
4:04 - this passage is teh love!!
DT is one of Muse's biggest influences.
You know what. I think Mike Portnoy doesn't know a damn thing about "rudiments" and "class", and that's why his drumming is so great. He fits DT well, and that is ALL that matters.
Best moment 00:00 - 06:59
awesome!!!
