This is pretty cool. Funny how live recording of drums doesnt sound like it used to in the 80s/90s with all the ambience and natural reverb. For someone who seems to hate mike, you sure do watch a lot of his videos. Look where Mike is and look at you? You should just stop these comments its a waste of your time and shows how you have nothing else to do except hate on people. My job is done...again. Awesome video by the way Vursata, is this on the budokan dvd?
I just recently got into DT and i had heard of Portnoy at the drum events and thought ,,Hmmmm he is ok..but having watched him Motor thru "instrumedly" and other tracks I have found complete respect for him, his Drum parts are fucking amazing and suit the tracks %110 !he doesnt float like Lang or Donati ,, but fuck he playings music you can listen and hes adding great rhythms and thats what its all about...The Quandry- Be great soloist or being a great band n killin it! NO Brainer - Make music
I work in the live concert production industry as well as being a drummer. From the looks of it, although I can most definitely be wrong, it appears as if KSM-32's are overheads, Audix D series for toms (Probably D-2), Beta 91 for kick, SM57 for Octoban, with an array of pencil condensers for various cymbals including hi-hat and some smaller splashes. These microphones combined with the fact that they use in-ear monitors rather than wedges are why it's so isolated.
@phatpeople1234 you obviously have no musical taste or experience, DT's songs are by far some of the most technical pieces writen since the clasical era!! and the soul involved in writing the songs was immense!! if you knew anything about mike portnoy and what the songs mean then you would know what soul really is!!
@sirjakass I can write it down for you if you want? Its not that difficult because it's mainly just 32 notes or 16. Depents on how you count it. The only problem for me playing it is my lack of technique:P
well this video does not show his potential because beyond this life isn't a very technical piece for drums. but he is still the best drummer ever. and he'll still kick anyones ass (just my opinion)
haaaaaaaaaaaa Its great to hear the track isolated and every professional Player that has done it on a big scale knows sometimes u miss a little 8th here or a 15 there hahahahaha
@tmayne220 Dude, don't you know who Mike Mangini is? he's played really heavy stuff !!! Portnoy's work on DT is unique, amazing... but Mangini won't have any problems to play it as is
portnoy has a dvd called live at budokan drums only... only on his website... there is also the score drums only! i want them!!!! but in my third world country you CAN'T find this!!!!
@perfectdisasterband I think the controllers of the band made that decision not the members themselves. I think they're all signed and have legal contracts/obligations etc.
DanDantheMusiqueMan: These are isolated microphones on Mike's kit. And of course, because it is life on stage, you can slightly hear other instruments through them.
@TheMapexDrummer11 no metallica doesnt sound the same i used to be a huge fan bought every album from them still fan but they sound way diferent then dream theater
if you spend your day on youtube solely to piss people off, you need to find something to give your life meaning. mike portnoy is the best drummer ever, btw.
i cant believe a human being can play this perfect on a live show just no f.cking mistake god damn you portnoy, what youre doin is only makin drummers suffer
@runtodemhills. Thanls for both your replys. I do know the songs you metioned. It's just been a while since I have heard anything from Scenes from a Memory. The others I have not herad without music before. But thanks for putting me right. Can I subb you? Thanks for your time.
@paulwall1981 Actually, my last comment was posted before I watched the whole video, so what I said was wrong. =P It's Beyond This Life until 2:26. Then I'm not sure until 4:03 where Ytse Jam starts. At 5:07 it's the Dance Of Eternity. I'm not sure about 5:50. Then at 7:45 it's Pull Me Under.
@evilbob1001 It depends on what part you are talking about, this isn't all one song. The first song is Beyond This Life, a few parts later I can make out The Dance of Eternity. It seems to switch around between songs, though.
@Sivels I disagree with both of yous. I understand MP was a very big part of DT, but if they get a drummer as good as him they're set for the new DT era. Mike Mangini might be replacing Portnoy.
@paulwall1981 This is Beyond This Life from the album Scenes From A Memory. You need to know this shit, man! It's quintessential stuff!! And it comes highly recommended. =]

I could be wrong...but this sounds like 'Beyond this life' am I right?

Reageren op deze video... I eel sorry for Mike now he realises that 'the new guy' can duplicate his drumparts with so much ease....

@perfectdisasterband yeah, I think that is very much true.. Who knows what will happen, we can just hope that he will come back somehow.
@Sivels yeah that probally is true but now I reckon dt are going to go down hill fast, Mike was the heart and soul of the band :/
@evilbob1001 It depends on what part you are talking about, this isn't all one song.
The first song is Beyond This Life, a few parts later I can make out The Dance of Eternity. It seems to switch around between songs, though.
@tmayne220 I bet he's just fine with learning Dt songs. After all he is the fastest and one of the #1 drummer's in the world.
@Sivels I disagree with both of yous. I understand MP was a very big part of DT, but if they get a drummer as good as him they're set for the new DT era. Mike Mangini might be replacing Portnoy.
@TheBucket90 You are truly the king of overstatement. Making an analogy like that shows a true lack of understanding.
what ever happened to the 4 minute solos i used to know and love? cant this guy do one that shorter than 8 minutes?
2:26-4ish....the middle solo breaks in Beyond This Life....5:50, middle section of New Millennium....also seen here
@joshkosh95 Wait, were you really born in the 95? You sound unexpectedly mature for a 14yo, and in youtube nonetheless
this is "beyond this life" in the beginning
like... around 8:00 it's pull me under
there are some other songs too
@paulwall1981
This is Beyond This Life from the album Scenes From A Memory. You need to know this shit, man! It's quintessential stuff!! And it comes highly recommended. =]
@DarkEternalRockstar You really know you're a DT fan when you can sing along to mike's drums with the sound off!
2:26-4:03...is the solo breaks in the middle of Beyond this Life....5:50 is the middle of New Millennium.....
@Dufflad08 It's not isolated from the song by frequency. They recorded the audio track from only his mic.
@feret1993 this isnt a drum solo, these r clips of songs meshed together, but with the drum track isolated
i think hes the best too but just because u put that stupidly insisting "ok?" in the end i would contradict
@cliffspc I heard you like spams so we put a spam into your spam, so now you can spam while you spam :)
how did you do the isolated work? i have the original DVD, can you help me? 'cause it's not only the isolated sound, it's also the footage...
and you are so much better? i think its amezing that someone can play this good live. its perfect.
Those drums sound like sex to me- if only I could get my drums sounding like that;-)
Mike Portnoy= fucking talented drum god.
Mike ......you have to go back where you belong.......DREAM THEATER!!!...4EVER!..xxx
Do you realize how fucking fun it would be to be Mike Portnoy and play this kit?
Gaah omg, this guy has the creativity of fucking Davincci!
God! he is amazing.
@tmayne220 I didn't see the date of your comment before doin' it... sorry :P
How to change to other camera view on the dvd? Can't find any button for..
Put Beethoven's 3rd Syphony in the background with this. Epicness ensues.
Can anyone tell me what song this is and what ablum it's from? Thanks for any help I get.
@hojima My point is, davincci was good at what he did, and so is Portnoy
Awesome!! I enjoyed this very much. All the best and thumbs up. G.
His vocal harmony at the end sounds so weird without the melody. Lol
I feel sorry for the new drummer who has to learn all the DT catalog
AHH, I'm trying to learn Hells Kitchen, and you cut that part out of instrumedly!
Very clever how we can isolate the frequency spectrum of the drums
They use microphones on the drums you know.. :P Got a own drum mix
@evilbob1001 some other guy said it was called "beyond this life"
took me about a min to recognize the song 0_0
beyond this life :P
This song is very CooL! im trying to play this song rightnow! x)
@perfectdisasterband its not them who refused..its their lawyer
Holy sheet, I almost came in my pants. His drum sounds so EPIC!
please upload the mike portnoy video of stream of consiousness
Mike, el mejor baterista!!! Los otros hacen ruido!!!
What's the first song he played here? Can anybody tell me !!
@tmayne220 Who knows', maybe it's a big fan like all of us
@iHaTeNoooBz I believe you're forgetting John Petrucci? :P
Can you make this same video, but with Pull Me Under only (full song)
Do you can to make with the bass of Myung ? Please !! :D
@tmayne220 lol true, they should join each other again
@cmandaro Huh? I didn't see Danny Carey in this video
@gretschplaya...I hear ya, but no Overture in there....
easy, they muted everything but the mics of the drums.
@Kayuja He screws up a few times on the bass. Is my english really that hard to understand!? I've lived in California all my life, smh.
@alldham people had to use umbrellas in the front row
you can hear the keyboards bleeding through his mics
Crazy Dave is a silly man indeed, rock on Portnoy!
And some people think the huge drum kit is just for show off.
@vscourboutis is father "was" a centipede TT-TT
