I'm not a musician but I grow up watching Mike playing just like this. His confidence and groove was definitely an inspiration, he was the cool guy me and my friends aspired to be.
Looking at the game of Mike Portnoy, you immediately understand how much Dream Theater have lost during this time! The transition at the 5:14 is fantastic! No Mike Mangini will EVER be able to compose a drum part like this with such a rhythmic pattern and play so soulfully! Bravo, Mike Portnoy!!!
Absolutely incredible musician. Totally in his element. IDK of a more relaxed drummer behind the kit. I’m so envious and in awe at the same time. My absolute favorite
That's just the MP signature sound. It's in octavarium and many other songs, but I just can't get bored about it. Mangini's just all about complex polyrhythms, subdivisions, and his metronome-like accuracy, sometimes he doesn't sound human. I mean, Mangini's a great musician and there's no doubt about it, it's just Portnoy's playing has been ingrained much into most listeners and you can feel his personality in his playing.
Amazing drummer,he plays with a lot of feel,I have seen him play with the Neal Morse band & the winery dogs,would love to see him play with geddy & Alex & Steven Wilson & mikeal akerfeldt.
Hey great vid , I'm Lol now cause I just watched a Sabian video about Sabian AAX Xplosion hi hats and Mike rips it good but the end kills it , he says quote..... I think I just found my new favourite hats. Yet this video looks like he doesn't have 1 AAX cymbal anywhere ? Lol
That 6/8 truly is when Mike Portnoy rules the entire world.

As far as creativity goes, no One can touch Mike Portnoy!!!
One of the greatest drummer in history ❤❤❤❤❤️
This is pure Madness. I keep coming back.
Mike the Hi-Hat Monster! Unreal drumming!

5:28 God mode activated ... so clear and briliant
the king of cymbals
👍🏻
The best part of this song to me, is from 5:14 to 7:02
Super cool that ambient.
Musical drummer at it's best
Yes, indeed, the middle section is brilliant in this one.
Oh yes, it's unreal how good that section is
MP is always be so legend. That’s why 1999-2009 is always been my favorite DT album.
Agreed
The Beast, The Monster...No !!!!! The KRAKEN Of The F***ing Modern Drum !!!!!!
Been watching this video at least 20 times a day.. what a masterpiece..
This is soo awesome and he is such a genius and legend! watching this for 324975209437273623 times now!
what a song. Unique and beautifully crafted. For real.
Mike portnoy is the best drummer for me
love that gentle giant style vocal part
Beginning around 5:28 that's one of the many differences at DT between then and now. He is a Genious and his style to play is so aesthetic!

The groove master 😎🔥
my master forever the best style Rocker Progressive drummer /../

That song slays.
Eu não fico tão confortável assim nem comendo pipoca no sofá... hahaha Mike é incrível.
From 5:27 to 6:30 is what Portnoy does the best in my opinion.
yes! and to me that is the clear distinction between him and Mangini
Yes exactly. That finesse he has is hard to imitate, recreate and write. MP is by far my favorite drummer.
MP is also the master of ascending drum fills. It's probably my favorite thing he does.
Scott Crawford yeah just powerful fills and entrances
couldn't agree more.
There should be multi-language transcription in this video so that everyone can hear the good message contained in this masterpiece.
trademarked drumming! fine, very fine!
The only thing I can barely cover in this song are the vocals 🇧🇷
Come sempre, immenso . W il prog
my goodness these cymbals
Total boss
In-FREAKING-credible drummer...nobody comes close...
You are crazy Portnoy
❤️ this!

Mike Portnoy fucking god
cant be human... 🤯
Mike is a bad ass drummer, but he needs somebody like Petrucci to help him _-)
No. Petrucci needs Portnoy. Get it right.
Yes...petruci need portnoy...👍👍👍👍
I bet mike portnoy has totally no idea about the characters on his wearing. LOL
ahahahahah maybe yes....he asked it when he was in budokan Lol
