I saw Dream Theater last night in LA. Great show, but they played a clip from your video during the intermission, thats awesome, you got your video on tour with the band.
This has got to be one of the most randomly impressive things I've seen. I'm wondering if he had to practice switching the cards after learning the music.
I'm speechless. This is easily one of the most rhythmically complex songs ever written. The fact that someone is able to beatbox to this song totally blows me away.
WARNING!!! Do not try this at home. This was done in a special oxygen enriched atmosphere to enable these breathing techniques. These techniques cannot be use under normal atmospheric conditions...LOL!! Ha ha haa!!
@@skeetabombJust by knowing the internet clientele, I knew there was going to be at least one negative reply to your comment... and you betcha. One can always rely on the internet to be petty, haha.
I'm a huge Dream Theater fan, I love this song and as drummer this is a hard song to cover and YOU did it with your breath and mouth! I love that you acknowledge the complex time signature changes. YOU Killed it brotha! I'm a fan!
Animals as Leaders maaan ! That band is God level ! If you can do dream theater, you can do Animals as Leaders ! :p I respect your work man, i watched that video year ago, I came back here beacause your skills are amazing !
Because not many people have this kind of use of their creativity, my man, I thank you for showing us a new way of beatboxing (and one I appreciate more, for being unpredictable). Greetings from Colombia!
My dude. Not only is this an incredible showing of your rhythmic and performance skill, but you did it without getting a paper cut. That's beyond comprehension. Amazing work.
So good man! Dream Theater is my all time fav band and I've never seen something like this before! You have an extraordinary talent, keep it up. I love this cover.
I feel like a damn idiot cos I can't remember if I've watched this before or not, but I think it's because you basically destroyed my brain with this. Ho-ly SHIT! You. Are. Amazing. that is all. I honestly have NO other words. Pure awesomeness.
I'm musicgod .... Good ol' times, almost one week working on Guitar Pro lol Thank you for mentioning me :) I'm also a drummer... its a very hard song to play, but with practice I now can play it without much effort, my double bass Tama Starclassic Maple helps alot =) Regards from Chile. Excellent beatbox cover btw!
Merrill Covers No kidding - there were some good showcases of musical knowledge and "limb separation" while he was doing it. Although I would almost call it "mouth" separation.
Merrill Covers The guy has definitely at least played drums. You can tell he has the 'drummer ear' that allows you to break down what's actually going on
@@cryptonation2258 well, I've never been a drummer, I'm actually a bassist, but knowing roughly what the times are every musican should be able to count what they are playing
@@demianstohr2422 I think he's referring to the actual drum beat. As a drummer myself, picking out exactly what drum, cymbal, or technique used to produce a certain sound is something that just becomes easier the longer you play them. This man picked out not just the rhythm of the song, but the beats, tansisitons, cymbal crashes and chokes, and all the other tecnniques used in this god-complex song
Sir, this is most excellent! Please do this with more Dream Theater tunes! Also, if you happen to read this, I'd be interested in knowing in how long this took you to do.
Danny Pinsent I knew the song very well after a couple years of casually listening to it. Then I practiced this performance for a few days (maybe 3 or 4) then it took me a couple hours to get everything right.
Holy DAMN dude! I've never cared much for beatboxing and all of that... and Dream Theater is one of my two favorite bands. So to this I Say... WELL DONE! Holy crap, that was amazing! Sharing this! :D
I was worried at first I might have to kill you. Fortunately, you have performed admirably. Now, take a moment to catch your breath then do "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence."
Dream Theater is my favorite band. Good effort on the beat boxing however you are wrong on the time signatures. This song only has 104. Here's a little break down. The song is considered one of the group's most progressive and complex works. Numerous complex and obscure time signatures are used, including 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 3/8, 5/8, 7/8, 9/8, 11/8, 12/8, 15/8, 5/16, 6/16, and 7/16. According to drummer Mike Portnoy, the band wanted to make a complex instrumental in the middle of the album, just as they had done in the middle of Metropolis Part 1. This song was also an integral part in attempting to create an extremely progressive record, as their previous album Falling Into Infinity was criticized for being too mainstream and not progressive like the Dream Theater of old. The song features what is commonly considered to be one of Jordan Rudess's best keyboard solos, played in ragtime style. The backwards music in the beginning of the song, when played backwards itself, is a sample from the instrumental section of "Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper" from Dream Theater's second studio album Images and Words.
BrotherVoid1, There are 15 time signatures listed there. You might want to try reading that entire sentence before responding. The Esoterist, No this is what educated people do. We research before making a video using flash cards with time signatures that don't even exist. At least my information comes from a source which is correct and previously research.
I read the whole thing, but looking at the construct of the sentence, you created a series using a comma and included 3/4, 4/4, and 7/8 within the series, which means your description of time signatures as "complex" and "obscure" applies to each of the time signatures you mention in the series. 4/4 is the first time signature anyone learns in music theory or any music lesson. 4/4 and 3/4 are about as uncomplex and mainstream as they get. The problem has nothing to do with esoterica, it has to do with your use of grammar and including 3/4 and 4/4 within your series.
Yes because that sentence totally focuses on only those 3 time signatures. You're obviously the only person who thinks this. We all know that 4/4 is the first time signature learned by most people. Thanks captain obvious. Seriously, you are going to sit here and call me out on grammar mistake when you clearly get the point? As far as "Esoterist" is concerned, I was also replying to his comment.
We have a new genre: Progressive Beatboxing
ProgBoxing!!
hellyeah!
BeatProgxing
I'm working on some prog-hop myself
Not prog beatboxing... progressive epilepsy! :P
i give this song 13/8
HeartlessGorre more like 5/7
more like 7/8.
I give it a 15/16
more like a 21/32
oh shoot that's Master Of Puppets' timing
Why not 9/10. Figure that one out
"mom, can i have a drum ?" "no ! you have a mouth, deal with it" and that's what he do.
+Thibault Vannier HAHAHAHAHA
lol
lol
"grandma,*..." FTFY
HaHaHa
One of the few times where i think it might just be easier to play the drums
practically no one ever cn play like portnoy...end of story
@@pzdipuing apparently mangini can
@@pzdipuing Minnemann and Mangini easily can
@@pzdipuing I love portnoy and his style, but people can play his stuff. Creating it is a different story.
@@Obrisevac its like burton. Yes, ppl might be able to play orion or anesthesia, but noone ever will write something like it
That was outstanding dude!
Become The Knight I don't know how he keeps all those time signatures straight
oh sup mike
hey mike
Music snob
Oh hey there!
Imagine someone taking this long to sneeze.
Francis Santos HAHA LMAO! That's by far the best comment in the comment section!! Cheers!
I'm so prog I can sneeze in 100 different time signatures!

Bhahahahahaha man that's funny!
Hahahahahaha
Coughs in 47/16
at the begining I was like "dafuq?" but then I was like "WOOOAHH WHAT THE FUCK?!"
thanks to dream theater, not him xD is this beatbox? lol
+9thmaggot I hope you realise how long this would take to learn!
+playingforbritain yeah, learn the song. but what this have to do with the beatbox? xD
9thmaggot You know what beatboxing is right? He's doing it pretty well
yeah this whole thing still kinda weird. He did an amazing job at what he did. Just a weird fit for beatbox or this music
I saw Dream Theater last night in LA. Great show, but they played a clip from your video during the intermission, thats awesome, you got your video on tour with the band.
Wow! Really?!
I wonder if the band ever saw this.
Portnoy posted this on his facebook page once and said that this guy should've taken his place in Dream Theater :D
During one of their set breaks a couple years ago they would have a montage of different fan videos, and this was part of it.
@@TheMunz Yep, I saw it in their concert in Fortaleza, Brazil, 2014.
This has got to be one of the most randomly impressive things I've seen. I'm wondering if he had to practice switching the cards after learning the music.
Ye
I bet his head was spinning after of that. Amazing!
That moment when a beatboxer has a better snare tone than your actual snare.
Better than st. Anger
His facial expressions are priceless
lol yes!
Xavier Lopez the epic part starts at 4:38 😂
Your cunnilingus is probably legendary,
🙈
Loling
Why is this not viral?
Because it's actually good.
Perfect auto-response.

Irsyad Dipa because beatboxing is a fucking joke.

Dream Theater showed his video shows us the tour in Brazil . congratulations , you are amazing .
my favorite part is the "b b b b, b b b b" hahaha!!
Plot twist: He is actually having a stroke.
He’s having the most musically complex stoke on the planet
i never knew Anthony Martial is a beatboxer
LOL

dont laugh at your own joke that isnt remotely funny
Actually, I was literally laughing at him watching him do it...not that it matters...I laugh at what I find funny. I hope you do too...
@@skeetabombJust by knowing the internet clientele, I knew there was going to be at least one negative reply to your comment... and you betcha. One can always rely on the internet to be petty, haha.
Whoa dude, you've just taken beatboxing to a whole new level of progressive. Great effort, keep it going!
Still better drummer than Lars.
Ketzakov give the poor guy a rest
Hahahaha. True!
Was the next thing you did to go to an accapella cover of this and say "Still better than Kirk Hammet" ?
Poor lars.. 😂😂😂
All of these ridiculous comments. I'm gonna come clean.
THAT, WAS AMAZING!
ermmm... God, i have to report a bug.
You should be on Dream Theater... somehow.
Van Canto anyone?
@@helioobianchi Yes.
what kind of snare is that??
+Distent Melodies Mine. One that I think sounds pretty authentic and that I can easily work with in this kind of music.
+Robert Boyette do you have the model? or a link to where I can get one?
+Distent Melodies lol
better than the snare on st. anger
Thom Bakker True lmao
Looks like he has a lot of time on his hands.
Darcy O'Connor That was a good one
Genius
4:37 - 5:05 that part is super hard and you just beatboxed it like a boss! That's awesome!!!
Jesus Tap-dancing Portnoy I'm impressed.
I'm a huge Dream Theater fan, I love this song and as drummer this is a hard song to cover and YOU did it with your breath and mouth! I love that you acknowledge the complex time signature changes. YOU Killed it brotha! I'm a fan!
I'm speechless. You should get an award or something for this. This puts an entirely differnet perspective on my favourite DT song!
"So what are your hobbies?"
"Well I do this one thing..."
Holy shit, this was soooo good. Props to you!
The fact that he can keep up with the time signature changes while doing the beatboxing is freaking impressive AF. Fire!!
i don't even like beatboxing and this was amazing!
You don't like beatboxing?!!
THAT SNARE ! DAMN RIGHT bro !! cheers from die hard DT fan.
when you love metal but you gotta get that hood street cred
amazing job man! :D
-What is the time signature?
-*Yes*
I wanna see Cannibal Corpse Beatbox Cover

I respect your work man, i watched that video year ago, I came back here beacause your skills are amazing !
I'd love to hear something by Tool. Maybe ''The Pot'', ''Eulogy'' or maybe even ''Lateralus''
Roboyette can you play Master Of Puppets on beatbox?
What about Bleed by Meshuggah ?? 😂😅😃😆
Tool!!
brilliant, the fact that he is even flipping cards while following such a hard time signature changes is just insane
Saw this featured in the Intermission Video at the actual Dream Theater concert last weekend. You made the big time dood!
Because not many people have this kind of use of their creativity, my man, I thank you for showing us a new way of beatboxing (and one I appreciate more, for being unpredictable). Greetings from Colombia!
For some reason I felt like I was watching someone having a seizure while doing math problems. lol!
‘Mom can I get drum?’
“No, we have drum at home”
Drum at home:
Underrated comment asf
Damnn you have great drums
My dude. Not only is this an incredible showing of your rhythmic and performance skill, but you did it without getting a paper cut. That's beyond comprehension. Amazing work.
dude ...do you know how to speak with dolphin ??
I want your snare
sample it?
So good man! Dream Theater is my all time fav band and I've never seen something like this before! You have an extraordinary talent, keep it up. I love this cover.
Even knowing when to flip to a new time signature is impressive. Well done.
Just amazing! I am a guitarist and I would like to play that song with you as a drummer.
Ness St. Pierre as a drum*
Well, maybe a self-playing drum?
FunkyRedCat Actually, that sounds good. . . LOL.
That snare-sound is really impressive, I initially pondered if perhaps you'd added a sample over top.
Was playing this as a joke to my friends but we're all genuinely impressed. Top performance dude, really impressive.
I feel like a damn idiot cos I can't remember if I've watched this before or not, but I think it's because you basically destroyed my brain with this. Ho-ly SHIT! You. Are. Amazing.
that is all. I honestly have NO other words. Pure awesomeness.
I love it. it shows that such a common instrument can be developed so far.
i don't know what's more impressive
that amazing beatboxing
or being able to handle those 108 note cards
Fucking awesome man! How many times did you have to reshoot this because of some stupid mistake like dropping one of the papers? :^)
UndeadSon Just a couple
Damn, just saw this being played as an intermission on the DT tour, nice job dude!

Little bit of trivia! Dream Theater was in a DnD session and wrote the song by rolling multiple D20s! amazing!
This is the best cover of literately anything I have ever seen
I just watched you... ON DREAM THEATER'S SHOW, MAN!
I caught it on video. It's on my channel!
Crazy!
im so glad i watched this
Legitimately better than Mike Magini in Breaking the Fourth Wall
Zildian has come up with a splash spit blaster lol
i feel like just seeing the drums tab laid out on paper would be enough to make a man's head explode

Gary Garyson Try Octavarium! 😂😂
Robert Campbell
or maybe 12 steps suite (all parts)
Do you know that they featured your video in the video the play during the break of their recent tour? I'm so glad I finally found this video.
I don't comment on videos very often, but well done sir.
Amazing to me that Jordan's awesome saloon-style keyboard part which is quite complex is played over the simplest of time signatures.
This not just a test of ability, but of stamina. What an amazing video!
