One thing is to speak about Mike's ability as a drummer, but his musicianship, phrasing, good taste for music are ALSO simply phenomenal. He plays what the song needs: nothing less, nothing more. Just perfect.
I agree with he plays "nothing more. nothing less" as his role in LTE, but not in Dream Theater. Early Dream Theater had so many unnecessary, pretentious fills, but I love that. I believe he has lost his arrogance, is more efficient, and become a master musician. He has learned less can be more.
@@petedog9581 agree. I guess when you're young and unknown you have to prove yourself to others, so ends up trying to show off. If you think about it, "early DT" (I&W, maybe?) is almost 30 years ago...

I believe Mike's cymbal work and phrasing is that little extra something that's been lacking in DT for this past decade. Don't get me wrong, MM is an awesome drummer, but the extra spice in Portnoy's sauce just brings our ear buds back home.
@@MichelFilion you know man,it’s a big thing missing , that little thing you said.But the most important thing missing is the DT ‘s drum signature you can’t replace,nobody can and that is damn missing.
@@MichelFilion Exactly, I'm not able to listen much to the recording with Mangini like I am with the past ones with Portnoy. It's like an endless enjoyable travel throughout the whole album, while with the new albums it feels so "plastic", just weird
Probably his signature Tama Melody Master snares... a 14"x5.5" maple snare as the main and a 12"x5" steel for the side (if the scenes from my memory serve me correctly 🤦🏼♂️😅)... both with a three-position throw-off so he can set it to tight, loose, or open without changing the snare wire tension dial. And yeah, not just the snare sound, but the whole kit! One of the things I like about Mike's drumming (and there are many things I like about Mike's drumming) is the drum/cymbal tones he chooses... he always has such great sounding kits, where all the pieces sound so good, both separately and together.
Hey Mike. I just want to give you a HUGE thank you, for helping that Indonesian Kid with a real drum set. I'm set to go see him. i bought a house and married a wonderful girl from Indonesia and I hear he lives in the same area in Central Java, so i was going to give him my Electric Kit when i returned to Indonesia. You have warmed my heart brother! thank you so much, you have been my hero for so long. Its so great to see a kid work that hard and finally receive not just a "great work!" letter , but a FULL ON DRUM KIT! I know that guy probably cried when he herd you finally saw his video and were ready to give forward... How freekin cool is that, man! Thank you Mike. you really are the best! Ill still give him what i can from my gear, I'm sure he will go on to be a great success. anyway, love your new set up! keep tearing it up man! love watching you play. TC
I am sorry sir...the guy that u mean is not kid but adult he was married and have childrens and he live in Bengkulu Province in Sumatera Island Of Indonesia not in Central Java. Actualy that guy fery talented performance play of the Drum and as Indonesian people we support him to grow biger in the future...peace!👌
@@meisyaaqilla1823 Thanks! Yeah, he is a bad ass for sure, I've been wat5ching more of his videos, super cool and humble. cant wait to get a chance to come visit. i may also have some other equipment laying around i could send his way. And, again, THANK YOU MIKE!
I'm really happy that Mike decided to edit this showing the cuts where it was comped between takes instead of a one-shot playalong that gives the vibe that his entire performance was a single perfect take. This genre of music needs more of that vibe. We're all imperfect humans trying to create beautiful, challenging music, and it's okay to not be perfect all of the time, even for one of the greats.
Id like to see it in one actual take and hear his imperfections and some mistakes. Makes it human as you say. The editing made it perfect. Not video wise but sound wise
One thing, though: It's not that much that he messes up, but that they're recording the stuff while writing it and it's hardly rehearsed. It's been their process for some time to move into the studio with nothing but ideas and leave with a finished album. These kinds of cuts have been in Portnoy's DVDs for decades because he works out what he wants to play as he goes.
@@elvancor He even explains that on the DVD, he holds his fingers up to denote which take it is for his video editing guy. Cool to get an insight from the artist themselves. ✌🏻🤟🏻
Mike's ability to totally lock into a song with creative grooves is unbelievable. The way he's playing with the melodies... DT, please let the magic happen again
@@barefootalien i know, but MP said multiple times he would re join, its just not up to him to decide. Hence.. DT, please.. Other than that, can a fan not dream? ;-)
I love how there’s little drum parts from mikes past songs. Like from 2:42-3:13 sounds like These Walls off octavarium. I love stuff like that it’s super cool!
@@Skitchhiker "similar call backs" - understatement of the decade. Some stuff is almost lifted note sequence by note sequence. It's as if they are even challenging people to try to remember which of the songs they are taking parts from.
I'm no drummer, but I've developed an ear for Portnoy. I can hear instantly if it's him. Not the funniest party trick, bit still enjoyable for others, hopefully
I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat and the thing I really notice about Mike's drumming is when and how he uses cymbals. MM has a ton of technical chops, but those little cymbal fills and splashes are something I miss.
I am a drummer... And I know what you mean... There is a huge difference between him and Mangini in Dream Theater... Really sad to see that band loose his heart on the drums
My favorite part of this starts at 2:03 with that beautiful piano ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Mike Portnoy is the best drummer IMO. He is like a master Michelin chef who knows exactly where to add the spice and how much of it should go on each particular creation.
Im actually getting that particular feeling I got all those years ago when the first two were released. It comes across as the same band in sound and composition and its beautiful. Its like this music has its own aesthetic that sets it apart.
Meskipun saya tidak terlalu bisa bermain drum tapi saat melihatmu bermain saya sudah mulai suka dari dulu sejak saya masih duduk dikelas menengah akhir sampai sekarang saya sudah punya 2 anak saya tetap selalu ingin melihat permainan drum kamu pak mike portnoy dan saya sangat merasa terhibur setelahnya ,teruslah berkarya pak Salam hangat dari indonesia
Mike Portnoy is more than just a preeminent drummer. His musical knowledge and sensibilities are what make him unique. I’m always in awe listening to him. Plus he strikes me as a class dude.
Neil Peart is one of the geatest drummers of all times and my favorite, but the king of prog drumming is Bill Bruford. (Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, UK, Bruford...).
I am not a drummer, I want to say this upfront, but I enjoy listening to anything that Mike plays on as much as I enjoy listening to Neil Peart. I am not comparing the two, I am simply talking about listening pleasure.
Like good wines and other superb drummers as well, truth be told, Mr. Portnoy has aged better and better with time. He can proudly bear that Neil Peart tribute shirt since he's becoming the natural successor of that talented and sorely missed prog drummer.
5:47 it's hard to explain to someone that is not into old DT and LTE music, but it seems that with MP even the more melodic parts sounds better and different. So glad that this is coming!
the fucking master on drums, I never thought I was going to listen to one for more than 20 years I grew up with these crack thanks for that! for accompanying me throughout my life
Such an incredible drummer.I been watching this video for a several times but you can play in the same position and your movement never change I'm appreciate that God
Amazing seen you playing LTE again with the boys. I still recall the times of you explaining the drum kit set up for first record. LTE along with DT inspired me to play music. Thank you and keep rocking! Greetings from Calgary, Alberta
Mike as ever! Memories from Transatlantic... the way he plays the drums is dreamy. I really like the anti-timing he uses and the melody. He puts melody in everything!!! Keep on....Respect!
oh fck this is taking me back to that time in my life, where i'd be a nerd on MP's forum buying his drum cam DVD's.. those where the days! I kind of ....hope that one is in the making of this one!!
Stop bitching about Portnoy not being in DT anymore, he's where he wants to be. Embrace his decisions, don't pussy about things that are not our business.
@@larzblast Yeah! In truth, I used to be utterly frustrated with people comparing two great drummers in their own rights! Well, in my case, I've moved on and we're way past that now! But it's so good to know that even after so many years Mike and John / Jordan were musically apart, they seem to click instantly as they've met again for LTE! That's true friendship for you! And of course, true musicianship!😁 P.S. : And for those idiots who do not understand my comments : No, I'm not complaining about Portnoy leaving DT and certainly not talking trash about Mangini! All I'm saying is I'm sick and tired about people comparing MP and MM, even after so many years! If you can't understand such a simple comment, then go take a brain dump, cause it's of no use to you!
@@asheshinfinite3766 To be fair, it was the "DT has found its soul back" comment that gives the impression you're part of the crowd begging for DT to ditch Mangini. It's a simple comment with a different interpretation to what you claim you were trying to say.
Portnoy's creativity is really unique and genuine. One can really discover and feel several things when he plays drums. There's life, good vibe, nice rush, excitement, soul, melody, energy, trance with his playing. his talent really stems from the soul. One of the greatest drummers. Respect.
Mike fills can be repetitive sometimes but he is such a wonderful crafted drummer and composer! Always fun to watch and listen to. One of the GOAT for sure!
Hell yeah!!! Love the sound of the coated heads too. There are many things that make Mike a great player but one of the things I respect him for the most? Never uses fucking triggers!! 🤘💯🤘
BEST DRUMMER EVER DREAM THEATER HAD!! I quit listening to dream theater..there seriously not the same no more..."Mike portnoy is so incredibly bad ass"!! His feel and playing abilities are beyond incredible!! Mike mangenie is good...but Portnoy owns his any day!! Mike portnoy has more feel & SOUL!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
Sebagai penggemar dream theater di inodonesia, saya merasa di lagu ini tetap seperti mendengarkan lantunan dari musik dream theater. Keren om mike portnoy tetap melekat sebagai legenda. 4 jempol ya.
É como um comentário que vi outro dia em inglês inclusive: "Mike Mangini é o baterista do Dream Theater, Mike Portnoy é a alma do Dream Theater." Por onde esse cara passa é diferente. Olha o Sons of Apollo.. melhor que muita coisa que tem por aí inclusive o trabalho é mais brilhante que os últimos álbuns do DT..
You are the epitome of class, I am humbled by the honor and respect you gave to Mr. Neil Peart, and Rush. I only speak for my self when I say, You, are a Master in Drumming, and a Master in Life!
I really like your natural drum sounds on this song Mike. I mean the kit and cymbals sounds almost as if it they were sitting on the Guitar Center floor. So clear, resonant, and drum sounding!
As the years go by, so many of my favorite musicians and inspirations have passed away. Petty. Prince. Eddie. Neil... The ONE wish I have is to see Portnoy rejoin DT. I take nothing away from Mangini, he is a fantastic drummer. He is just not DT to me. He is and always will be a replacement player, and DT just isn't DT without Portnoy. That said I am so excited about this new LTE record! What a fantastic thing to have these guys together again!
I'll tell ya. It's weird that I honestly like both drummers contribution to the band. And further, I'm sort of aiming to take my favorite elements from both of them and incorporate it into what I do. Great drummers!
cheguei e so tinha 3.767 visualizacoes!!!! ele saiu do Dream Theater, mas o DT nao saiu dele, observem a Logo da banda em algumas pecas da batera dele ..heheh... outra coisa, camisa em homenagem ao seu grande mestre , Neil Peart , batera do RUSH!!!
I realy love this guy! As a drummer, composer, music taste wise and as a human being! The world needs people lile this, to make this life meaningful. Mike Portnoy, my hero, my idol! With musicians like this, Rock and Metal will never die. Up the Irons!!!
Reminds me of a combination of a medium-heavy Dream Theater song I can't quite put my finger on and Biaxident (especially 2:01-3:24). Ultimately it feels familiar yet fresh. Can't wait to hear the rest of the new songs, and it brings me a lot of joy to see you collaborating with these guys again to create great new music on this third album!

He exudes an absolute comfort while playing such complex parts. It’s the difference between a master at their craft and a novice with good chops.
Now, we know... It is pretry obvious where the roots of DT are. A lot of history condensed in a song. Rock on!
Every song he plays is like a 10 minute journey.. so many different times and parts it’s crazy. Every song is like a orchestra song
Did anyone noticed that the Octobans are from his Majesty kit and the first tom is from the Black Clouds Kit?

And of course, true musicianship!😁
P.S. : And for those idiots who do not understand my comments : No, I'm not complaining about Portnoy leaving DT and certainly not talking trash about Mangini! All I'm saying is I'm sick and tired about people comparing MP and MM, even after so many years! If you can't understand such a simple comment, then go take a brain dump, cause it's of no use to you!
@@asheshinfinite3766 To be fair, it was the "DT has found its soul back" comment that gives the impression you're part of the crowd begging for DT to ditch Mangini. It's a simple comment with a different interpretation to what you claim you were trying to say.
it feels like the old days when he was covering their songs in DT
Since they were his own parts, technically he did not cover them. Otherwise I agree.
Watching you play is like therapy. Thank you.
always a joy to watch mike portnoy play complex rhythm drumming-he's made for this no one does it better
What an oportunity, to see a master doing his thing in detail, please tour in Mexico as soon as you can guys i will be there supporting!
Sublime Mike....Que musicalidad🔥 Cada día tocás mejor. Amor eterno 🥁🙏
Thank suport for deden Noy from indonesian drumer 🥁🙏
Portnoy's creativity is really unique and genuine. One can really discover and feel several things when he plays drums. There's life, good vibe, nice rush, excitement, soul, melody, energy, trance with his playing. his talent really stems from the soul. One of the greatest drummers. Respect.
Mike fills can be repetitive sometimes but he is such a wonderful crafted drummer and composer! Always fun to watch and listen to. One of the GOAT for sure!
Hell yeah!!! Love the sound of the coated heads too. There are many things that make Mike a great player but one of the things I respect him for the most? Never uses fucking triggers!!
🤘💯🤘
My GOD dude, you are so all over that kit; you must have the arms of Atlas for all that endurance.
BEST DRUMMER EVER DREAM THEATER HAD!! I quit listening to dream theater..there seriously not the same no more..."Mike portnoy is so incredibly bad ass"!! His feel and playing abilities are beyond incredible!! Mike mangenie is good...but Portnoy owns his any day!! Mike portnoy has more feel & SOUL!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
It is so inspiring Mike Portnoy to see you play!!! Makes me want to be a better drummer and play more and more each day!!!
Sebagai penggemar dream theater di inodonesia, saya merasa di lagu ini tetap seperti mendengarkan lantunan dari musik dream theater. Keren om mike portnoy tetap melekat sebagai legenda. 4 jempol ya.
Personel nya lte kan mayoritas dt semua om gmna seh
Portnoy on one side, and Neil Peart on the other. Two best drummers ever.
💯%
Terry Bozzio is at a step beyond ! 😊
Magnificent as always, like Portnoy knows to do it. 🤘🏼
Daqui a pouco tá cheio de Br comentando aqui.
🇧🇷🤘🏼❤️🔥
Br?
É como um comentário que vi outro dia em inglês inclusive:
"Mike Mangini é o baterista do Dream Theater, Mike Portnoy é a alma do Dream Theater."
Por onde esse cara passa é diferente.
Olha o Sons of Apollo.. melhor que muita coisa que tem por aí inclusive o trabalho é mais brilhante que os últimos álbuns do DT..

Octobans com os símbolos do Dream Theater...
You are the epitome of class, I am humbled by the honor and respect you gave to Mr. Neil Peart, and Rush. I only speak for my self when I say, You, are a Master in Drumming, and a Master in Life!
I really like your natural drum sounds on this song Mike. I mean the kit and cymbals sounds almost as if it they were sitting on the Guitar Center floor. So clear, resonant, and drum sounding!
As the years go by, so many of my favorite musicians and inspirations have passed away. Petty. Prince. Eddie. Neil... The ONE wish I have is to see Portnoy rejoin DT. I take nothing away from Mangini, he is a fantastic drummer. He is just not DT to me. He is and always will be a replacement player, and DT just isn't DT without Portnoy. That said I am so excited about this new LTE record! What a fantastic thing to have these guys together again!
I'll tell ya. It's weird that I honestly like both drummers contribution to the band.
And further, I'm sort of aiming to take my favorite elements from both of them and incorporate it into what I do.
Great drummers!
The most DT music I hear in 10 years. Can we pretend the past decade never happened and get Portnoy back?
No
Thanks but no.
HE'S BACK, LET'S GO!!!
@@yomikemun649bye Mangini
NO F WAY!!!!
cheguei e so tinha 3.767 visualizacoes!!!! ele saiu do Dream Theater, mas o DT nao saiu dele, observem a Logo da banda em algumas pecas da batera dele ..heheh... outra coisa, camisa em homenagem ao seu grande mestre , Neil Peart , batera do RUSH!!!
I really like the fact that this video shows different takes pieced together. Live and in the studio are not the same animal.
Happy Birthday to the best drummer of this generation.
4/20/23!!!
4:22 hey, who took my crash from here?
Mike, eu sou baterista, e vc é minha inspiração 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Esse cara é mito
I realy love this guy! As a drummer, composer, music taste wise and as a human being! The world needs people lile this, to make this life meaningful. Mike Portnoy, my hero, my idol! With musicians like this, Rock and Metal will never die. Up the Irons!!!
Man.. just never get tired of hearing your magical drumming
Reminds me of a combination of a medium-heavy Dream Theater song I can't quite put my finger on and Biaxident (especially 2:01-3:24). Ultimately it feels familiar yet fresh. Can't wait to hear the rest of the new songs, and it brings me a lot of joy to see you collaborating with these guys again to create great new music on this third album!
Primer paso del regreso: logrado.
La vuelta a DT: en proceso.
*angry and out of tune Labrie noises*
The amount of times I would’ve hit myself trying to do all the moving around the kit that he’s doing😂😂
He makes it look so effortless. True brilliance in his work as always.
Welcome back! The great! The master! The monster of drums to your SEAT! “Be patient and you will see” (king diamond) we miss you a lot!
