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
@@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.
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..... :\
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.. 🥵🥵
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.
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
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.
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.

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 😂
From 4:04 to the ending this gives me goosebumps. Portnoy is a genius.
5:53 he hit 6 fuckin' cymbals at once
Wtf!!
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

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!
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
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.
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

My favorite era are always 1999-2009. I missed those eras. Those are always my favorite songs.
his right hand at 4:41... Its like floating and hitting everything. Magic

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

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..... :\
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
Petrucci + Portnoy = one of best music creation
Mike is a God!!! What else can you say, the grooves, fills, time signatures, are phenominal
That kit is just OMFG....GIMMEEEE!!!!!!!!
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.
i like the creativity of the drums in this song. innovative.
He just had a drumgasm.
I noticed the cymbals playing from the record and I end up get that ‘yes’ feeling watching Portnoy playing here
Its just perfect
Mike Portnoy is a fucking god...
Definitely this generation's most creative drummer!
The control he has is AMAZING
Only him...That's it, he is the GOD of drumming....
I invented the drum kit
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
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.
Ke sini lagi gara2 konten portnoy cover lagu vierra ga ilang2 di kepala😂
ohhh hail portnoy!
yeah portnoy is a LOG fan...that makes my day^^
Kesini gra2 difacebook dimixing dengan lagunya vierra dengarkan curhatku.
Mike Portnoy in a Lamb of God shirt is enough awesomeness to make a lesser man's head explode.
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!
one and only!!!!!!!!!
the verse riff and the way he sings in the verse with the backup singer as well kind of gives you that metallica feel
Mike is maybe the Best! Fun to watch this guy play.
A great example of why MP was irreplaceable.👍😎🐐
yeah.. INSANE!!
it's insane how his brain can manage all of that at 4:05. Always an amazing drummer.
100,000 calories burned.
a beast
I love at the end when he gives a nod, sort of like "yeah, that wasn't too bad".
OMFG !!!
seen them live, amazing.
mike is by far the best drummer ever in my eyes
amazing... this guy is out of this world man, i'm telling you!
The MASTER ...

Constant Origins😮
Great song heard it on guitarmaggedon cd
mike you are the best...!!!i wont to meet you...!!!

HE GIVE SO MUCH PASSION!
The man rox!!!
Dream Theater: How many drums can you hit one one beat?
Mike Portnoy: Yes.
Mangini could only DREAM of creating such a complex AND tasteful drum solo.
4:05
thank you, sir
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
Nice bro
No words!!!!! He's the Best!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!
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...
This video brings me home.
Wow!
Awesomeness
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 😂
5:55 W T F
He hit every cymbal in like .01 second
Lol
This guys is a beast.
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
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
akhirnya bisa tidur nyenyak
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
he's the best drummer for me now!
i love his double bass kick...its just amazing
The best of world!!!!!!
Portnoy Rules.........
4:04 - this passage is teh love!!
the best drummer on the world and in the whole universe...........he's the man
awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Still in awe in 2019
from about to 4:05 - 5:02 is one of the scariest drum compositions ive ever seen
i didnt even undertand how crazy that part was on the drums until i saw this video, holy shit dude...
mike you are SIC
I know
the kit is awesome and a great drummer playing them love the log t shirt
His signature Pro Mark 7a 420 Millennium's. I love those sticks. Pro Mark makes the best drum sticks hands down.
NAGUEVONADAS!! FUCKING AWESOME, amazing!!. This guy portnoy really kick asses!!
Nice drums, i love the play with the chyna in the chorus.
Greetin's from Chile
we should all refer to the godly drum part at 4:05 as ‘THAT part in constant motion’
That style metallica riff..the Dream Theater monster of prog metal🤟🤟🤟
o man i love that riff!
He's a machine
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
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.
awesome song...awesome drummer...awesome shirt
4:00 is the best part!
Amazing!
Mike is the best drummer atm...
