    Honestly him stepping in to help out Avenged Sevenfold after their drummer passed was super cool of him. Just helping finish that record and helping that band get back on their feet for a tour.... I really respect that

    Saw DT in a small club in northern California in '92... Tickets were $5.00, the most stunning performance I'd seen in my life!! There were about 60 people in the club... They played like there were 10,000!!

    What makes this all the more impressive is he’s using a different kit on every shot. Most drummers are METICULOUS in setting up their kit EXACTLY the same. Every. Single. Time. Because of the importance of muscle memory, especially when you’re playing so many notes that it’d still be challenging for an octopus. But this cat always mixes it up, likely based on what sounds he wants for that particular show. Meaning he’s gotta retrain his muscles (muscle memorization?) where each drum/cymbal is. Definitely an elite level of virtuosity here.

    Video should be titled “The Seven Hairstyles of Mike Portnoy”

    This guy's great. He should have auditioned in Dream Theater.

    I love watching Mike drum. Every time I see a live vid of him it reminds me of why he was The Rev's favorite drummer.

    Mike Portnoy is my all time favorite I dont care some people say theres drummers faster than him out there but his creativity is beyond speed.

    I absolutely adore the guy. He's easily my favourite drummer of all time!! I have a signed drum head from him and it has a proud place in my room! He's such a wholesome guy as well!!

    I love how many times during The Glass Prison that he just casually pushes his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose while in the middle of performing a drum part that normal humans (i.e. everyone who isn't Mike Portnoy) have a hard enough time keeping up with *listening to*, much less *playing*. 😰

    "The great debate" IMO is musically Mike's best creation as a drummer. He puts everything he knows in that song. There are other tunes that may sound more technical but that one is like portnoy's resume.

    Mike's a special kind of psycho - part man, part machine, and pure un-aldulterated talent. Can't imagine trying to drum like him, let alone remembering all of those complex song arrangements!

    One of the times he’s the greatest drummer is every time… chops, tone consistency, flair, showmanship, the ability to do literally whatever he thinks of, his catalog of recorded music, compositions, arrangements, snd being able to recreate and deliver live, there’s no one any better. Just an opinion.
