I've been a DT fan for over 14 years now and I can honestly say you've outdone yourself Josh, much respect for you. We appreciate all the effort you put into this man!
Holy shit dude, this is insane! Love the transitions between songs, absolutely crazy good! And your drumming is excellent, so effortless and fun, really enjoy how you bring in your own little bit into all this madness! Really fantastic! :)
jakub ciszewski Who would you rank as being better? Personally, The only drummer you could rank better than Josh on UA-cam would be 66Semus. Other than that, Josh is the best.
Congratulations Josh you really took youtube drum covers to a higher level, and with this one you've reached a great peak, it don´t get much better than this... In the Name of God is one of the hardest drum parts ever and you nailed it, the arrangement is awesome and even more importantly, you gave full justice to the musicality of Mike Portnoy, thanks for sharing this with everyone :D
Thanks! I put a lot of time into making this one. Check out my cover of the day that never comes. I have a quick shot of Portnoy commenting on one of my videos through fb. I think I put it somewhere in the 4 minute mark. Made my year. He is my favorite drummer of all time.
Cuzjudd Portnoy is God! I am only a guitarist, but like to play drums and I like rhythm more than melody ( I think most Metal Heads do so) and when I listen to Portnoy drumming I „understand“ what he is doing.
Man you fucking killed DT's best album. Only bit I think I was missing was in Stream of Consciousness at about 6:30 there's a neat little snare lick that is very tasty. Otherwise you nailed every drum part from ToT.
I have never heard any drummer as young as you try to copy Mike Portsmouth what is Wallace effort bro very very good I couldn’t believe what I was listening to you are amazing I give you many many props I didn’t claim for 40 years and never hurt anybody play as great as you keep it up get yourself a man that is awesome because you guys killer just like that man good luck and God bless
I really have no words for how absolutely fucking amazing this was. Like...I never checked to see how far through the video I was at all, I was just absolutely captivated by this whole thing from beginning to end. Just...holy fucking shit, you completely and totally outdid yourself!
But seriously this is the best fucking thing I've ever seen, I'm really amazed on how awesome this turned out! You're by far my favorite UA-camr, you get me wanting to play my drum kit daily, I usually have no motivation until I watch one of your videos. Can't wait to see more!
My laptop lagged twice trying to comprehend your playing. Absolutely stellar! Goddamn thanks for finally covering (sorry, MEDLEY...ing) my favourite Dream Theater album! May goodness be with you at all times
I can say without any doubt, that MP is one of the best drummers, but what you did with that drum kit is amazing, you made those masterpieces even better! I could not stop looking at the whole video!
I've watched this a few times now and I cannot even start to guess the amount of work you put in this. Truly masterful playing and direction with the ever changing segments. Such a tribute to this album and MP. Holy cow
Holy coordination @ 6:20. Even as an experienced drummer it's hard to track what your hands are doing next. Excellent job throughout this marathon of a mix.
I literally got up from the chair and started clapping slowly. Seriously, this is definitely my new favorite video from UA-cam. Great job as always, man!
Dream theater in all is a very diverse and complex musical group. I don’t like to say they are very heavy due to all the different tones that occur at the same time but damn man you really made these songs intensify themselves. Great work man!
A lot more transitions than Rafa who does the other ToT drum medley which is cool :) you’ve got a style of your own even when covering! Great job and worth the wait - Jet, UK
amazing composition and execution bro, but it was the flick and squeeze at the very end that just puts it over the top. thank you for this video dude!!!
Man, that In The Name Of God outro is badass. I forgot how good this album is all the way through. I only ever hear isolated songs when they come on my iPod these days. Great job as usual dude.
Just unbelievable. I am really honest, this is unbelievable. What you have done is in a level that few pro guys would be able to do. Thank you for showing us how wonderful is this instrument. Sorry for my English
You are one master of drum metal. And you don't even know... much respect... I was to hang up my drumsticks and when I saw you I said no freaking way inspire me so much thank you thank you
I really enjoy this guy. I remember seeing some of his old stuff and teqnique wasn't all there but I kept watching because he was clean. However through the time I've watched him his teqnique has grown to be much better and I enjoy watching these changes happen. Shows what comes out of much practice. Very good job sir
Josh, this is absolutely incredible! Would hate to guess the amount of time you've spent on putting this together... Awesome work! I'm always forward to the next video, but for now I'm gonna spend the next 4 months marvelling at this masterpiece!
Absolutely killer, man! The accuracy on the fills, the feel in the grooves, it's all there.. You say it's not note for note, but the things that didn't match the original felt very much in the spirit of Mike's ad lib style. Thanks for the inspiration! You really nailed this one.
20 minutes of 7 songs being mashed so quickly and frantically. The time this must have taken to put together, and then to actually learn it and execute it. Well done man
I guess you have received so much praise you don't need more (ok, need is a very strong word). But oh man, that was so good it made me smile and feel so much joy for a very good bunch of time. Thanks for sharing. You could feel your energy and your pleasure of this performance. Uffff.
Holy shit-balls! Hands down...best drum video of the year right there. I can't even watch any other drum videos now cause they will just be disappointing 😆 Top notch playing as always Josh! Fuckin sick! I tip my hat to you, sir....
Damn, dude. Not only is your musical memory absolutely INSANE for being able to remember all the nuances of Portnoy’s parts, your rearrangement of the whole album just takes it to a whole new level. Stellar video, man!
Dude. Holy shit...
Oh what a surprise 😁
19:00 -
Sound Engineer: "That's great, and now the full kit..."
underrated comment XD
I've been a DT fan for over 14 years now and I can honestly say you've outdone yourself Josh, much respect for you. We appreciate all the effort you put into this man!
Dude, you have no idea how fucking long I’ve waited for this! 🤘🏻
Potato Smith Me too!!
Holy shit dude, this is insane! Love the transitions between songs, absolutely crazy good! And your drumming is excellent, so effortless and fun, really enjoy how you bring in your own little bit into all this madness! Really fantastic! :)
David Spring I
You should get an Oscar for that 👍🏼
My favorite album from DT
marcus21121 the more I think about it this might actually be their best album
Matt and Shley McNeal True story
Was just talking about our favorite album from DT and turned out we both said Train of Thought, we like every song from it
Lepsa Scenes, 6 Degrees and ToT are the holy Trinity of DT albums. Unfortunately, everything after ToT went downhill
I suppose it went a bit downhill, but they still made some brilliant albums imo.
The best drummer in youtube
Ilia Milan nope but still kick ass
jakub ciszewski Who would you rank as being better? Personally, The only drummer you could rank better than Josh on UA-cam would be 66Semus. Other than that, Josh is the best.
@@JdDiehl wtf?? josh shits on samus
@@JdDiehl joeyjunior is faster)) or was at least, since he is a dinosaur of youtube solos.
Josh is rly great but IMO John Kew is best on UA-cam. The way he can nail Tool songs.
their most underrated album and my favorite of all time
Squishy mine would be Awake but this is fuckin great too
Train of Thought isn't an underrated album
Not my favorite DT album, but definitely underrated imo. Fantastic.
Shourya Watwani look at Amazon reviews. ToT IS underrated unless you think it isn’t good.
Fully agreed bro
Congratulations Josh you really took youtube drum covers to a higher level, and with this one you've reached a great peak, it don´t get much better than this... In the Name of God is one of the hardest drum parts ever and you nailed it, the arrangement is awesome and even more importantly, you gave full justice to the musicality of Mike Portnoy, thanks for sharing this with everyone :D
The amount of work you've put into this is outstanding. We really appreciate it, keep drumming Josh, you're the best :D
this snare sounds AMAZING. has a very Lamb of God-esque vibe
This simply brings tears in my eyes. I love DT and Mike should watch this. This is pure madness and brilliance.
Thanks! I put a lot of time into making this one. Check out my cover of the day that never comes. I have a quick shot of Portnoy commenting on one of my videos through fb. I think I put it somewhere in the 4 minute mark. Made my year. He is my favorite drummer of all time.
Meh, only a little bit badass. I remember one guy on the internet said Portnoy wasn't creative, just technical. I was like bruhhhhhhh
Cuzjudd Portnoy is God! I am only a guitarist, but like to play drums and I like rhythm more than melody ( I think most Metal Heads do so) and when I listen to Portnoy drumming I „understand“ what he is doing.
he's both of those but more creative than technical
I assume that you're better than Josh,right?
Butthole,btw DT sucks!!!
@@TelosDextroza they do now
not back then though
Holy shit, that was fucking awesome!
Yeah Portnoy is really a genius, and very well done Josh, this video was simply amazing!
Absolutely brilliant mix..reminds me why portnoy wasbetter for dream theater..
Favorite DT album! Great job!
That was incredible, Josh. Inspiring and an amazing job!
BRUTAL !!! The most powerfull album, great sound, nice video.
Awesome!, Nice job master. Gretings from Chile
Immense work!!! Congratulations for this masterpiece.
Now we want the Lars of Thought version :-)
Would settle for Stream of ConsciousLars (Justice era) ;p
Indeed!
Yes! Ulrichvarium or Lars From a Memory would be great too.
Man you fucking killed DT's best album. Only bit I think I was missing was in Stream of Consciousness at about 6:30 there's a neat little snare lick that is very tasty. Otherwise you nailed every drum part from ToT.
This will always be my favorite DT album you nailed it bro
Seriously Josh really missing the Kick cam.
Josh is the "sick beats" communicator of UA-cam!
You're amazing
You make me love the internet josh!
Yes. I’ve been waiting for this for years! Absolutely one of Dream Theater’s best work and I’m thrilled that you are covering it. Thank you
Gooood playing!!!!!
You talk about a way to wake up! No need for morning coffee now! This got me energized by just being part of it!! Much Love Bro!
I have never heard any drummer as young as you try to copy Mike Portsmouth what is Wallace effort bro very very good I couldn’t believe what I was listening to you are amazing I give you many many props I didn’t claim for 40 years and never hurt anybody play as great as you keep it up get yourself a man that is awesome because you guys killer just like that man good luck and God bless
Thanks!
Excellent Sound!!!
My fav DT album! Nice work!
Unlike most DT fans, this is my favorite album, stream of consciousness is just...always leaves me speechless.
Josh, sos el mejor drummer que he visto en UA-cam. Creí que Sepultura era difícil pero DT es otro nivel and you nail it.
That breakdown groove at 15:27. Awesomely brilliant.
Came here because a DT Metropolis live vide, not disappointed, you a sick ass beast on drums dude, awesome, great job
I really have no words for how absolutely fucking amazing this was. Like...I never checked to see how far through the video I was at all, I was just absolutely captivated by this whole thing from beginning to end. Just...holy fucking shit, you completely and totally outdid yourself!
But seriously this is the best fucking thing I've ever seen, I'm really amazed on how awesome this turned out! You're by far my favorite UA-camr, you get me wanting to play my drum kit daily, I usually have no motivation until I watch one of your videos. Can't wait to see more!
Damn, Josh, this is a dream come true, it's the album that got me into DT... And you're a fucking beast, insane effort and skill!!
Duuuuuude! This is by far my favorite video!!! You totally nailed it!!!
Man, you're my favourite drummer in the whole damn world. By far.
You need to get out more. Danny Carey😒
No Labrie before 9:40 👍!
Excellent and solid drumming, awesome medley, love the sound of your snare. Terrific job, Josh!
;)
Holy shit dude, that was amazing. You are a beast of drumming. 🤘🤘🤘
My laptop lagged twice trying to comprehend your playing. Absolutely stellar!
Goddamn thanks for finally covering (sorry, MEDLEY...ing) my favourite Dream Theater album! May goodness be with you at all times
You sir must be drinking the nectar of the gods. Thank you for all your hard work putting this video together!!
I can say without any doubt, that MP is one of the best drummers, but what you did with that drum kit is amazing, you made those masterpieces even better! I could not stop looking at the whole video!

Portnoy is a BEAST !!! Just shows your commitment and energy to your gifted craft !!! Fucking Awesone Bro.. Thank you...
I literally got up from the chair and started clapping slowly. Seriously, this is definitely my new favorite video from UA-cam. Great job as always, man!
My favorite DT album apart from Images and Words. And here I thought your Iron Maiden was impressive! Awesome work!
One of my favorite bands, one of my favorite albums + Josh = my favorite video.
Killer,this and the mr bungle are top shelf.Cheers!
Awesome. Expected to be impressed when you announced this and very much am!!
Honor Thy Father just slaps me in the face every time. Awesome stuff dude.
Love that snare tone and great job on this one
Dream theater in all is a very diverse and complex musical group. I don’t like to say they are very heavy due to all the different tones that occur at the same time but damn man you really made these songs intensify themselves. Great work man!
Definitely their heaviest record.
Brutal work man, I really enjoyed the whole video! By the way, I love the drumming in ToT: heavy and technical but organic and groovy as fuck.
A lot more transitions than Rafa who does the other ToT drum medley which is cool :) you’ve got a style of your own even when covering! Great job and worth the wait - Jet, UK
amazing composition and execution bro, but it was the flick and squeeze at the very end that just puts it over the top. thank you for this video dude!!!
My Favourite album by my favourite band by my favourite drummer. Watched alot of your videos dude and this is very very good. Well done !
Now this is a medley. Awesome bro!
Mesmerizing, man! Just mesmerizing! Really enjoyed every single bit of it! Love your effort and your own style! Keep goin’ like this!
You’re so sweet on that kit man! You’d have to be so smart to remember all that and then to execute it is just awesome.
your one of the best drum cover youtubers ive ever seen
Man, that In The Name Of God outro is badass. I forgot how good this album is all the way through. I only ever hear isolated songs when they come on my iPod these days. Great job as usual dude.
I could tell you were pumped for this and rightfully so. LET'S FUCKING GO.
Wow congratulations !!!! Sin ser un baterista pretencioso...logras evocar el espíritu del álbum...great cover dude!!!!!
ToT is my favorite album of Dream Theater! And your interpretation is insane. Great job
Holy crap this is incredible! Bravo dude! Bravo!
Amazing how far this Channel has come
That snare sounds identical to Joeys on the S/t album! Just listen to purity for example and it's so close. This is really good dude!
Hey Josh, I'm from São Paulo, thanks for this amazing tribute!
Just unbelievable. I am really honest, this is unbelievable. What you have done is in a level that few pro guys would be able to do.
Thank you for showing us how wonderful is this instrument.
Sorry for my English

God Damn!!! this is amazing, you take the hardest part of the album and nailed it perfectly. Amazing work's dude!!!
Thanks! Major achievement for me.
Absolutely killer, man! The accuracy on the fills, the feel in the grooves, it's all there.. You say it's not note for note, but the things that didn't match the original felt very much in the spirit of Mike's ad lib style.
Thanks for the inspiration! You really nailed this one.

Thanks! I was happy how it came together. It's line an extended version of stream of consciousness.
Best drum vid on youtube!! totally awesome !!
The In The Name of God climax is just amazing... and your rendition of this medley makes it even more powerful...
Josh... that’s too good bro. You are so fucking talented holy shit.
