I met Mike after JP show in chula Vista, some fans and I waited like an hour after show, and he appeared. He was so cool and chill signing and taking pictures, what a great musician
It's funny to hear him to say he isn't gear nerd but still at a small setup has 12 or 15 different cymbals and 2 snares.That us mindblowing!Maybe he means he isn't too much detailed gear nerd i agree.
Definitely happy to see one from Portnoy, he’s an absolute beast of a drummer and a super chill dude as well. I absolutely loved this, it was fucking awesome
I absolutely love Mike Portnoy. It's a damn shame he's not in Dream Theater anymore, but at least we got SDOIT, TOT, SFAM etc. And Mangini is still a beast. Mr Portnoy, if you read this, we met 16 years ago, at Wembley Arena and you were a gentleman.
Glad he mentioned his purple monster foot pedal activated snare drum. You can see it in his Liquid drum theater drum instruction video. You can selected the foot cam view and see a 90's era tama foot pedal directly under his snare with a cable going up to it.
Cool! This is a kit made up of the “Mirage Monster” kit he used on the Systematic Chaos tour - I saw this kit played live in 2007! The sound is awesome!
Awesome video as usual. The one thing I think it’s funny how you develop a signature stick that has “active grip” technology but still have to use stick wrap? I tried his sticks and Rich Redmonds. Both have good balance and weight, but pro mark has to go back to the drawing board with their grip stuff!!! Should be called “active slip!” 🤣🤣🤣
You rock Mike. I love watching your cameos on The Monsters Den. I checked out Twin Peaks from your recommendation and I am on season 2 and begin episodes 21 and 22 tonight.
I bet Mike has a small warehouse to atore all his drum kits.. I'd like to have some Ludwig Vistalights, or some.badass Starclassics.. Mike definitely has warned everything that he has earned... Also the 1st winery dog record is the best of the 3
Bet he got that butt end stick from Peart, he played that way with 747’s left hand with the butt end of the stick, of course that was on the first several live albums
Mike's comments of "just throw any drums up on stage and I'll play it" - shows not so much his skill, but his comfort behind the drums. Any drums (as long as their Tama lol). He's just loves to play. Does he have a record for the number of good bands he's played with?

I feel like ghost notes in that early prog stuff was so much more noticeable and took a part somewhere. Now every metal drummer seems to just naturally ghost note through everything. Both awesome.
Just curious is he still destroying 5 or 6 thousand dollars worth of drum equipment and cymbals on stage. Obviously an unnecessary way just to get attention. Why don't you donate some of that unwanted money to drum clinics around the country how about.
Mike is a major influence for so many musicians myself included. Always a class act during interviews.
It's the drummer I've seen live the most times. His pleasure to play was always infectious !

Met him several times. Always a very cool dude.
i just love the way he laughs. always and always will be one of my influences. a god in rhythm.

Mike revolutionized modern drumming. His influence on the battery is total.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!
Code Orange and Boston - T Shirt game on point, runs the gamut from alpha to omega in one image.
p sweet
I try to keep it crispy!
Great drum rundown. Love the interviewer. He was totally on point with Mike and asking all the right questions.
So... who's the tech? Bummer no shout out. Oh well, hard work goes unnoticed all the time.
Good drummer, nice set. Rock on!
Doing the 7 & 9 splashes was genius at the time. Same with the stacks.
loving all the hair and beard colors mike
420 is also my birthday! And among other things 😉
NICE.
Wow, man, great interview! Congrats for the all team! And Mike is the king and a great musician and person! Hugs from Brazil
Awesome and humble, a great combination.
"And when you're in 11 Bands" - which is why we love him!
Great drummer, great guy, and fabulous drum designer as well - this strainer is absolutely genius! Rock on!!!

There's a recent Liquid Tension Experiment album, the closest thing to a DT.

Gracias MIKE por influenciarnos en la batería. Gracias por tu música y gracias por seguir siendo una leyenda viviente.
Great interview! I love when the lights hit the clear heads. I’m going to try for a stick next time ❤
Went to go see these guys last week and it was the best thing I have ever seen! Big love Portney 🙌

Установка Старкласик Акриловая Tama!)

DW did the 3 position butt plate years ago.
Nice interview! A great guy is Mike and superb tub-charmer to boot. One of my main influences. 🤘🙂👍
Tub charmer... righto then.
DUDE. Great get!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
⚡️🦾⚡️
Awesome kit Mike, and that is a 22x18 bass drum 😎🤘🏻 The drums sound freaking great
❤mike
THE GOAT

anyone know the sizes of the octabons

Great video !!!!
15:28 - yep, if you ever get to tech for Mike, pay very close attention to what he says here
Legendary 🥁
magnifico.💔💔💔💔💔💔
I made a Rogue in Diablo IV named MikePortnoy because it looked just like him.
Tama bring back the MIRAGE and give us a Mike Portnoy signature acrylic snare!
Please Drum Rundown With Mike Mangini (Dream Theater)
If he's still with Sabian, what happened to the Max splashes? I miss them
thanks to this video I found out mike smokes weed hahahaha
Mike he’s the best drummer way better dreams either need to let him come back
I bet Mike has a small warehouse to atore all his drum kits.. I'd like to have some Ludwig Vistalights, or some.badass Starclassics..
Mike definitely has warned everything that he has earned...
Also the 1st winery dog record is the best of the 3
Neil Peart was the youngest to be introduced on MD Hall of Fame.
Bet he got that butt end stick from Peart, he played that way with 747’s left hand with the butt end of the stick, of course that was on the first several live albums
I think that is a 22x18 bass drum
What a musician, man.. Big fan of him and i'm not even a drummer.
SABIAN, bring back the max splashes!
Mike's comments of "just throw any drums up on stage and I'll play it" - shows not so much his skill, but his comfort behind the drums. Any drums (as long as their Tama lol). He's just loves to play. Does he have a record for the number of good bands he's played with?
MP has a new Promark Activegrip signature stick, and he still uses stick wrap. Hilarious.
Why mike not use dyna sync pedal
His work on the Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare Album is truly amazing!!

The left and right sticks... Who is this guy, Cam from Modern Family?😂
He looks like the paintings of jesus with the bright lights around his head. Drum jesus.
Praise be!
Soooooooo 2 of his Sabian crashs only lasted 2 months before cracklng?
Haha the notion that this kit is stripped down makes me laugh in 4 piece with 2 cymbals
\m/
Not a fan of the new Sabian logo. Actually not really a fan of Sabian in general, but that new logo is really not it.
Like, zero ghost notes. Weird how drumming has changed since his day.
Yes ghost notes were not discovered until 2018.
I feel like ghost notes in that early prog stuff was so much more noticeable and took a part somewhere. Now every metal drummer seems to just naturally ghost note through everything. Both awesome.
@@yoyolebatteur Cool narrative you conjured up, have fun arguing with yourself.
@@doyledesign Yep, ghost notes are just a given now.
@@MrE1981 Are you always that serious?
"Promo SM"
Portnoy Rambles so much
I wish Mike would come back to dream theater. I do not like the drummer they have now.
This aged well
"In terms of brass, what dyu got?" Absolutely nothing
Exercise and eat right then you will have more energy
Probably doesnt? you mean he doesnt!!
Jason Rullo is a better drummer by far
Mike Portnoy … The worst thing to happen to drums since Lars Ulrich.
I can't dig acrylic drums. Or dw kits. Dead sounding, no soul
