He sounds like he really appreciates his drum tech work
If you're Mike Portnoy's drum tech, you're basically the second best drummer in the world. Cheers to Jose!
Who is the fist?

Times when being sick was ok.
Maybe he DID have covid and nobody knew it
Glad to see footage of Mike Portnoy in 2020
Agreed, as a big fan of Dream Theater for the last 20 years of so, it's impossible to ignore or forget just how much of Mike Portnoy's soul and spirit is within so much of DT's works. He clearly poured almost every bit of himself into DT (sometimes unheathily so, he'd possibly admit). I'm sorry how things turned out for him with wanting the break from DT and I hope he is mostly happy and comfortable, he does deserve it.
I saw him live in Michigan for this tour. OMG, was so amazing
He’s really wearing a Netflix shirt lol Well they need to host his DVD’s now haha
FanaticalDrummer lets hope that's why he's wearing it.
@@ejsinner1520 All subjective. Portnoy is phenomenal for what he does.
There are a lot of amazing drummers and then there are phenomenal drummers that have their distinct style and Portnoy is one of them.
Eccentrics ok?.. What does that have to do with me hoping he's cut some sort of deal with Netflix?
@@ejsinner1520 It was a response to your previous comment.
Anyways good day.
Eccentrics my original response to Fanatical Drummer's comment was only 7 words...."Let's hope that's why he's wearing it."
That's probably one of the nicest setups I've ever seen 👌
Netflix: "Hey Mike, would you like a free lifetime subscription to Netflix?"
Mike: "You have my attention"
Jose sounds like Portnoy's most prized band member. Also sounds like he's well payed.
One note: Mike had a different drum tech during (at least, part of) the Octavarium tour, Eric Disrude. I met him in the airport, the day after the big Radio City show in NYC. He was a very nice gentleman.
Donald Blakeman I believe he is still the drum tech in the Dream Theater camp, for Mangini.
They actually mentioned him in a Netflix anime that was recently released, so this video is now even better!
which one?
@@ahmetleventtakr7625 Great Pretender
If I remember well, it was a Starclassic Bubinga kit for the Black Clouds & Silver Linings Tour...
Is just the same finish like he said. this one is maple tho.
tompramana account Yup. They did make a few in B/B and Maple, but the maple is almost impossible to find. Wasnt a main run of sets.
Got the B/B in that absolutely gorgeous finish
He toured with a Birch Bubinga (B/B) kit for BCSL, but I recall from a video that he said he had three kits made up in the BCSL finish - B/B, Bubinga, and Maple.
@@FanaticDrummer the bcsl finish is actually a lot easier to find in maple, tama offers starclassic Maple kits in that finish so a lengthy search or a custom order should do you well
Love the way the toms are placed. I have a 24in base drum 1979 Ludwig. I looks like I have to place the tom mount towards the front of the kick to get the toms right without using a rack system. The problem they toms are big 13 14 15 rack toms.
From childhood I've seen many bands many musicians and after 25 yrs I wanna share to everyone that drummers are the most humble warm hearted and loving musician in all bands
Hit like if you agree 🙃
Hope to hear another Winery Dogs record later in the year.... maybe? Maybe 2021.
Just looked at tour dates, one month in the states, two months over seas. No dates in Ga, good thing I buy the CDS and DVDs for live shows.
He plays for Netflix
His set up is genius
mike was cool giving this kind of walk around
"tour to europe in a few weeks"
wohoho
Lots of stacks & splashes for the King of Fills.😎🔥👍
Thanks ! Can't wait to see Mike in Europe (France)
Wait:)corona:)
Props to the drum tech.
I can't wait for the next Transatlantic album! Want it NOWWWW!! Mike is one of the nicest guys out there! Thanks for sharing this one.
where ever you go in the UK,I'll be there.
Islington, London
Saying you’re sick in February 2020:😃😃
Saying you’re sick in july 2020: ☠️☠️
Looks amazing. MP my fave drummer. Actually I just have one fave drummer, lol.
I wish they covered all heads and tuning in these. that's where the sounds come from. No resonant tom re, snare or BD heads mentioned.
Great interview, but that camera man.. i almost got sick with the micro movements of the camera all the time
Thanks.
Give this man a rapid test
Awesome! Thanks!
Awesome!!
i like how low your cymbals are (compared to this other mike ...you know...?) finally you have an L shaped XLR connector on your mike.. i still dont get why you do not use a shure beta 56 for vocals ;) made for drum vocals!! ;) cheers!
Wow. Impressive!
awesome drum set
Where are the orange star cymbals
I have same same drumsticks. Your X420
Waiting for Transatlantic new album..
sorry, did you say you tape your 420x sticks..? I thought the X series avoided the tape thing... lol
Holy shit it was in Jersey.
The sad part is that he will not bring the Hello Kitty set nor the Pokemon Set on the next tour =(
I just got the urge to resubscribe to Netflix
PUTZ
Nicko McBrain also holds his sticks like that
What is better round profile rack or 4-6-8 corner profile rack ?
Why not two stick bags, one on the left and one on the right?
4:45 "i use audix mics" holding a SM58. ... i still wonder why no drummer has custom made short singing mics (like the beta56, which is perfect for sining imho...)
He is holding our microphone for the interview.
@@musicplayersnow i know that ;) funny anyways! :)
Funny he didn't mention the size of the drums.
Can you still get the max splash
It doesn't look like MAPLE to me but BUBINGA, right?
Mike seems burnt out with SOA. They have been playing tiny places & some album tracks have only HUNDREDS of views after a month. Wouldn't surprise me if he bails like he did on Adrenaline Mob.
Tbh, I doubt if they're even looking at RUclips views. The revenue on it is so small they probably don't even count it
JOSE!!!
There cannot be much worse than being sick on tour and having to play a show feeling like shit then get on a bus contagious and get everyone else sick
Trusound Drums I imagine getting up for my 9-5 job (more like 9-?) that I hate is much worse...meanwhile pleading with the gods above that I could just play with some of the best musicians in the world and get to make music as my career and not getting to do so. That scenario is much worse in my mind.
What germ is gonna withstand a Mike Portnoy drum gig?
Mind blown, germs go home in defeat.
I think Mike needs a few more cymbals :)
King leonidas from 300
And I thought that the rings under my eyes are bad...
I want to see jose
Ele é carateca!!!! Com certeza! Luta caratê boliviano!
Looks like mike had the coronavirus before it was fashionable
Yeah that is what I was thinking 😆
Man, the camera man has no clue on what to film
🤣 he was like "aww hell, he's _sick._ 😒😷"
Get well soon Mike! You've got to play.
why don't they play on their drumsets when they are showing them off
being sick at the time of recording didn't age well with Corona.
Why would anyone wear a shirt with the Netshix logo
A walkthrough that didn’t even talk about the drum sizes ....
He didn't need to, if your a drummer you know. It's A Tama and What he uses from the last year!
Nick Gustafson I’m a drummer. And I DONT know, MP has had a bunch of different kits over the years. I came to this video because his IG said something like “Gear nerds might want to watch my kit walkthrough”
Well, I’m a gear nerd, and they didn’t get “nerdy” enough for me
@@beyer66 octabons are 6" diameter with varying depths, racks are 8x7, 10x8, and 12x9
floor toms are 14x14, 16x16 and 18x16, gong tom is 20x14 (maybe), and the kicks are 22x18.
Bryan Beyer I was thinking the same thing. goes into debt on the cymbals and sizes but skimmed over the drums. what series of tama's is that? I'm sure a real "cool" kid like above will have another smart as remark. Thank you James for letting us know.
He dont know his own drums
OCD much? LOL. Mikes the best
February, month of cold and closed nose........
I don't want to sound out of place, but hey internet... Mike, take a nap.
@@edw5761 That's why I said, "take a nap." (duh)
if he's going to Europe l him not to get carona
Hey Mike. Whipe your nose
Over exposure much, Mike?
Mike is Patient 0.
All this nonsense, and Bonham sits down to his 5 piece and 4 cymbals and destroys any musician
Ok boomer
