The Glass Prison - Dream Theater - Drum Cover (12 Step Suite)

- Wassup guys! Here's my rendition of Dream Theater's The Glass Prison :)
I had a great time learning and performing all the cool drum parts and for this video I played pretty much the same massive config that Mike Portnoy used to record this masterpiece back in 2001.
I recorded this in September 2016 (well, almost a year ago D'oh!) for a collab that has never seen the light and I thought that it would be cool to share it with you now that MP is finally playing this song live again for his Shattered Fortress tour.
This is a big celebration and a personal tribute to MP and DT, I grew up listening to them, I saw them performing live several times and I also had the opportunity to meet them personally and to play a Cirque du Soleil show with some of them in the audience (OMG it was unreal eheh)!
As you may know, this is the opening track of the Twelve-step Suite, a set of 5 songs which deal with MP's past experience of alcoholism.
The Glass Prison contains the first 3 parts of the Suite (“Reflection”, “Restoration” and “Revelation”) and it is one of the heaviest (and most challenging I'd say!) tracks from the entire DT's repertoire.
I loved Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence back in the days, and I still love it. Great combination of Progressive, Metal and Experimental stuff...exactly what I'm mostly into! :)
Alright, that's all folks...enjoy, let me know what you guys think and, as always, thanks for the support!

How have i not seen your videos until now?! You've done your homework, my man.
Josh Steffen same here! Great to see you reacting to other awesome drummers on the Toutubes, gotta stick (get it) together!
Josh Steffen make a glass prison cover!
Check out his supermario drum cover, friggen epic'¡
@@MrOpi8 I second this ☝🏽
This comment coming from Josh “The Man” Steffen, is YUUUGE!!
8:55 nailed it!
Josh Steffen what's the time signature here? 14/9?
Josh Steffen I suggest you follow suit :D
Love ya bro
Donald Trump420 well, seeing as 14/9 is impossible, I’d say it isn’t.
I challenge ANYONE to produce a better cover of this song. It's clear that Vadrum has studied it at length to create such a faithful note for note performance. I've subbed to this channel for 10 years and this guy just keeps on giving. Incredible work, can't wait for the next part!!!!
Challenge Accepted ; ) Hahaha, this guy is great though and I have nothing but respect for him!
Amen! Dudes a machine!
Glen Monturi GLEN! Love you!
Dr. Taco
Been here too since the days of Mozart and Mario in 240p :)
I'm a simple man, I see Vadrum + DT, I click like.
Glacius91 i was thinking the same thing...
As a former drummer and avid fan of Dream Theater and Mike Portnoy, this has to be one the most complicated song to remember and play. You absolutely nailed it. I will watch again. Keep pounding the skins.
Why a former drummer? A drummer doesn't quit if the love is great enough. Aw man
i need to add a comment! I have been watching this vid on a semi regular basis for 2 years now. I probably have at least 100 views alone at this point and i have to say i have fun watching it every time. your charisma of playing is astounding. To me this is DT's best song ever and a must listen for any metal fan. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! never stop what you are doing!
As a fellow drummer, this is the best drum cover I have ever seen. Incredible. Mike Portnoy would be proud.
The best and most precise drum cover of The Glass Prison. Salute to you Sir!
Always satisfying to see somebody having so much enjoyment while playing. Great work!
Missing just ONE move......the Mike Portnoy eye glass adjustment just to say he can do it. lol Bravo sir! Well done!!
My all time favorite Dream Theater song! Thank you for covering this, love your stuff VaDrum! Keep up the good work brother!
Dude, you killed it. Glad to see you're still rocking out after (and during) your classical jams. Looking forward to the next one!
It's so good to see someone not just perform a really technically demanding and high performance piece but to really enjoy doing it too. Thanks for this upload, really enjoyed every second of it.
Spettacolare Andrea !!! Era da tanto che non riascoltavo questo pezzo che è tra i miei preferiti. Mi hai riportato indietro quando ancora esistevano i DT. Semplicemente devastante. Grazie
This Dying Soul!
Hell yes!
Juan José Rakela up- ac
YESSSS, best cover on TH-cam, highly underrated song :(
Absolutely Incredible! This is the song that introduced me to Dream Theater, which is now one of my all time favorite bands. I've never heard anyone nail it so perfectly!
Now I need the rest of the suite
Bruno Taglietti Agreed.
I do believe he's going to do it
No way. Portnoy is by far better than this drummer.
LooKerHood, nobody was comparing. He did well. Fuck off with that.
When is your drum video of this tune posting?
OMG DUDE! This is one of my fave tracks off their Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence album! And you just nailed it! I love this video - and I'm just smiling the entire thirteen mins and thirty nine secs. Thank you for doing a great job on this.
Very Very Very nicely done. Feel/Style/Parts/tone/expression/etc. Its all here. My hats off to ya dude! 👏👏👏🤘
That was absolutely amazing! Great job man!
Amazing Vadrum, I enjoyed it so much! Long time DT fan here ;)
DO THE WHOLE SUITE! yesss! this is soooo goooooood
That is for shure the best cover of the glass prision that i have ever seen !!! You have played with awesome technique and with soul !!!
I can't believe that i see this video just now, congrats! Amazing drum cover, your job on drums it's awesome!!
You nailed this note perfect! Incredible! This song is so damn fun to play :D
Dude that's impressive. Haven't seen anyone play DT so smooth,- keep it up!
Amazing. Glad you're back!
was soooooo waiting for this!
Oh yeah!!! Man, basically, you are the reason I got addicted do DT, bro! Saw you covering the instrumental part of Octavarium first, then a few mashups you made with some DT songs a while ago and, since then, became a fan of you and DT. Congrats man!
All time favourite drum intro ! Insane performance !
Okay, we need more Dream Theater stuff. AMAZING. Grazie Andrea
wow Andrea this was amazing. you nailed it. sounds very close to the record. I never captured all the fine little details of the drumming until I saw you put all the notes down. thanks for sharing !!
Aside from the single snare hit miss during the intro at 1:10 and a couple of other fill differences that was PERFECT to the record to my ears! Freaking AWESOME job dude!!! Best song in the suite and you nailed the monster!
nice one! your kit sounds awesome, loved every second of it, keep up the great work
Jeez Guy you make his look so easy! Your footwork is incredible. I've been playing for 17 yrs and I can't play this song. Easily the best Dream Theater drum cover on TH-cam. Bravo!!
Amazing clean playing and tones. Loved it!! Big Portnoy fan here!
Renewed respect for you Adrea!
Love those bassdrums!
Yes Clean!
It's like coming across footage of Portnoy's studio recording... Perfect job!
Finally, a DT cover/tribute by Vadrum! Instalt like!
Yes, Yes. Dude that was great. Rock on!!
Shame you can only hit that like button once.
LuckyLukeTF2 nah..thats sufficient..
I second this
This is the song that got me into Dream Theater. Was lucky enough to meet Mike a while ago. Been a HUGE fan of yours for the longest. Just kinda upset it took me this long to find this😲 sound better than ever man
That was absolutely flawless!!
Awesome work man!
It's not easy to cover mike portnoy so well! Especially the glass prison.
Awesome!
I think I'm in love with you
One of the best drum covers I've seen in terms of authenticity!
We learn so much from these videos, neat covers, multi cameras, HD... 🤘
One of my DT's favourite songs (and album!)...wow! Davvero fighissimo! grande :D
This brings back memories. Wonderful drumming!
Great job! One of my favorite DT tunes, thanks man. \,,/

I have no words, amazing!!!
mindblowing playing. 1st of your videos I ever watched. subscribed. :)
What a great cover. Not only did you play it perfectly, you also clearly had a lot of fun doing it!
When Portnoy left DT... you were my first choise! Always smiling and playing with such a groove! Glad you made this cover, waiting for more! ;D
That was flawless. Fantastic job, mister.
Italian Portnoy!
Maicchi Porcchinoy
ya need to see Glen moturi, he is the exact copy of him :D
Portnoy has Italian heritage lol
Why are there so many good Italian drummers
@@TronciM Because Italians basically survive on passion 😂
That instrumental is brutal on drums my dude. Nice job

First DT song I ever heard. And you nailed it!
Wow with my AKG K702 "bass modded" ... I can hear how good is your drumming and the record / audio mix is just awesome!! Congrats man!! (+ the choice of the track... just huge masterpiece!)
Hi. This is one of the best cover i´ve ever seen. Excellent Work friend. Good Luck!
