Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity Beatbox Cover

- It's been a while since I said I would do it, but here it is! Thank you to username "MusicGodFromMSB" whose excellent tabs (on Ultimate-guitar.com) I used to help me learn the time signatures and intricate drum parts in this song. This might be best heard through headphones (but not at max level or R.I.P. at the beginning of the beatboxing).
A few notes:
When I said "of which there are 108," I meant 108 changes, or shifts, not 108 different time signatures.
At 1:56 when I hesitated to switch the cards to indicate "3/4," the time does change at the moment I began to change it.
At 6:49, the "7/8" card I drew was shown three eighth notes too late (a mistake I often made in my several attempts).
The Dance of Eternity is a part of Dream Theater's album Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a memory released in 1999, and is the copyrighted property of its owner(s).
We have a new genre: Progressive Beatboxing
ProgBoxing!!
hellyeah!
BeatProgxing
I'm working on some prog-hop myself
Not prog beatboxing... progressive epilepsy! :P
i give this song 13/8
HeartlessGorre more like 5/7
more like 7/8.
I give it a 15/16
more like a 21/32
oh shoot that's Master Of Puppets' timing
Why not 9/10. Figure that one out
One of the few times where i think it might just be easier to play the drums
practically no one ever cn play like portnoy...end of story
@@pzdipuing apparently mangini can
@@pzdipuing Minnemann and Mangini easily can
@@pzdipuing I love portnoy and his style, but people can play his stuff. Creating it is a different story.
@@Obrisevac its like burton. Yes, ppl might be able to play orion or anesthesia, but noone ever will write something like it
That was outstanding dude!
Become The Knight I don't know how he keeps all those time signatures straight
oh sup mike
hey mike
Music snob
Oh hey there!
"mom, can i have a drum ?" "no ! you have a mouth, deal with it" and that's what he do.
+Thibault Vannier HAHAHAHAHA
lol
lol
"grandma,*..." FTFY
HaHaHa
I saw Dream Theater last night in LA. Great show, but they played a clip from your video during the intermission, thats awesome, you got your video on tour with the band.
Wow! Really?!
That moment when a beatboxer has a better snare tone than your actual snare.
I wonder if the band ever saw this.
Portnoy posted this on his facebook page once and said that this guy should've taken his place in Dream Theater :D
During one of their set breaks a couple years ago they would have a montage of different fan videos, and this was part of it.
@@TheMunz Yep, I saw it in their concert in Fortaleza, Brazil, 2014.
Imagine someone taking this long to sneeze.
Francis Santos HAHA LMAO! That's by far the best comment in the comment section!! Cheers!
I'm so prog I can sneeze in 100 different time signatures!
+Zekro 27
Bhahahahahaha man that's funny!
Hahahahahaha
Coughs in 47/16
Dream Theater showed his video shows us the tour in Brazil . congratulations , you are amazing .
This has got to be one of the most randomly impressive things I've seen. I'm wondering if he had to practice switching the cards after learning the music.
Ye
I bet his head was spinning after of that. Amazing!
Me explaining a new song idea to my drummer:
at the begining I was like "dafuq?" but then I was like "WOOOAHH WHAT THE FUCK?!"
thanks to dream theater, not him xD is this beatbox? lol
+9thmaggot I hope you realise how long this would take to learn!
+playingforbritain yeah, learn the song. but what this have to do with the beatbox? xD
9thmaggot You know what beatboxing is right? He's doing it pretty well
yeah this whole thing still kinda weird. He did an amazing job at what he did. Just a weird fit for beatbox or this music
I'm speechless. This is easily one of the most rhythmically complex songs ever written. The fact that someone is able to beatbox to this song totally blows me away.
Why is this not viral?
Because it's actually good.
Perfect auto-response.
prog snob lol
Irsyad Dipa because beatboxing is a fucking joke.
Irsyad Dipa because this is actual talent ! Only stupid shit goes viral
His facial expressions are priceless
lol yes!
Xavier Lopez the epic part starts at 4:38 😂
Your cunnilingus is probably legendary,
🙈
Loling
my favorite part is the "b b b b, b b b b" hahaha!!
Plot twist: He is actually having a stroke.
He’s having the most musically complex stoke on the planet
4:37 - 5:05 that part is super hard and you just beatboxed it like a boss! That's awesome!!!
Mouth Portnoy lol
Edit: Holy shit 2.4K likes :0 thank you guys
+황익희 thank you
+황익희 Black Portnoy
Mouth Portnoy x') this dude's good
This had me crying omfg
Hahaha
Whoa dude, you've just taken beatboxing to a whole new level of progressive. Great effort, keep it going!
Holy shit, this was soooo good. Props to you!
i never knew Anthony Martial is a beatboxer
LOL
ermmm... God, i have to report a bug.
what kind of snare is that??
+Distent Melodies Mine. One that I think sounds pretty authentic and that I can easily work with in this kind of music.
+Robert Boyette do you have the model? or a link to where I can get one?
+Distent Melodies lol
better than the snare on st. anger
Thom Bakker True lmao
Still better drummer than Lars.
Ketzakov give the poor guy a rest
Hahahaha. True!
Was the next thing you did to go to an accapella cover of this and say "Still better than Kirk Hammet" ?
Poor lars.. 😂😂😂
All of these ridiculous comments. I'm gonna come clean.
THAT, WAS AMAZING!
I'm a huge Dream Theater fan, I love this song and as drummer this is a hard song to cover and YOU did it with your breath and mouth! I love that you acknowledge the complex time signature changes. YOU Killed it brotha! I'm a fan!
You should be on Dream Theater... somehow.
Van Canto anyone?
@@helioobianchi Yes.
I'm baaaaaaack. Requests?
Animals as Leaders maaan ! That band is God level ! If you can do dream theater, you can do Animals as Leaders ! :p
I respect your work man, i watched that video year ago, I came back here beacause your skills are amazing !
I'd love to hear something by Tool. Maybe ''The Pot'', ''Eulogy'' or maybe even ''Lateralus''
Roboyette can you play Master Of Puppets on beatbox?
What about Bleed by Meshuggah ?? 😂😅😃😆
Tool!!
Looks like he has a lot of time on his hands.
Darcy O'Connor That was a good one
Genius
capish capish tacatacataca capish pish
WARNING!!! Do not try this at home. This was done in a special oxygen enriched atmosphere to enable these breathing techniques. These techniques cannot be use under normal atmospheric conditions...LOL!! Ha ha haa!!
dont laugh at your own joke that isnt remotely funny
Actually, I was literally laughing at him watching him do it...not that it matters...I laugh at what I find funny. I hope you do too...
@@skeetabombJust by knowing the internet clientele, I knew there was going to be at least one negative reply to your comment... and you betcha. One can always rely on the internet to be petty, haha.
So good man! Dream Theater is my all time fav band and I've never seen something like this before! You have an extraordinary talent, keep it up. I love this cover.
The fact that he can keep up with the time signature changes while doing the beatboxing is freaking impressive AF. Fire!!
I'm speechless. You should get an award or something for this. This puts an entirely differnet perspective on my favourite DT song!
Jesus Tap-dancing Portnoy I'm impressed.
when you love metal but you gotta get that hood street cred
amazing job man! :D
brilliant, the fact that he is even flipping cards while following such a hard time signature changes is just insane
Because not many people have this kind of use of their creativity, my man, I thank you for showing us a new way of beatboxing (and one I appreciate more, for being unpredictable). Greetings from Colombia!
i don't even like beatboxing and this was amazing!
You don't like beatboxing?!!
"So what are your hobbies?"
"Well I do this one thing..."
‘Mom can I get drum?’
“No, we have drum at home”
Drum at home:
Underrated comment asf
Damnn you have great drums
For some reason I felt like I was watching someone having a seizure while doing math problems. lol!
I want your snare
sample it?
Even knowing when to flip to a new time signature is impressive. Well done.
Was playing this as a joke to my friends but we're all genuinely impressed. Top performance dude, really impressive.
Fucking awesome man! How many times did you have to reshoot this because of some stupid mistake like dropping one of the papers? :^)
UndeadSon Just a couple
dude ...do you know how to speak with dolphin ??
My dude. Not only is this an incredible showing of your rhythmic and performance skill, but you did it without getting a paper cut. That's beyond comprehension. Amazing work.
Man, that's insane!!! Absolutely outstanding!! My brain is melted!
Amazing, are you a drummer as well?
Merrill Covers No kidding - there were some good showcases of musical knowledge and "limb separation" while he was doing it. Although I would almost call it "mouth" separation.
Merrill Covers The guy has definitely at least played drums. You can tell he has the 'drummer ear' that allows you to break down what's actually going on
oh its the guy that sounds like eminem
@@cryptonation2258 well, I've never been a drummer, I'm actually a bassist, but knowing roughly what the times are every musican should be able to count what they are playing
@@demianstohr2422 I think he's referring to the actual drum beat. As a drummer myself, picking out exactly what drum, cymbal, or technique used to produce a certain sound is something that just becomes easier the longer you play them. This man picked out not just the rhythm of the song, but the beats, tansisitons, cymbal crashes and chokes, and all the other tecnniques used in this god-complex song
Rest in Piece, lips.
That was amazing dude, seriously. I can't imagine how tired your face was!
Yeah he deserve more views thought
That snare-sound is really impressive, I initially pondered if perhaps you'd added a sample over top.
Hooooolllyyy shhhiiiitttt
THAT SNARE ! DAMN RIGHT bro !! cheers from die hard DT fan.
Respect
Just amazing! I am a guitarist and I would like to play that song with you as a drummer.
Ness St. Pierre as a drum*
Well, maybe a self-playing drum?
FunkyRedCat Actually, that sounds good. . . LOL.
I think I just had some kind of mental overload. Seriously. That was phenomenal.
Saw this featured in the Intermission Video at the actual Dream Theater concert last weekend. You made the big time dood!
I feel like a damn idiot cos I can't remember if I've watched this before or not, but I think it's because you basically destroyed my brain with this. Ho-ly SHIT! You. Are. Amazing.
that is all. I honestly have NO other words. Pure awesomeness.
I love it. it shows that such a common instrument can be developed so far.
This is simply outstanding! can't get enough of it!
Damn, just saw this being played as an intermission on the DT tour, nice job dude!
I'm musicgod ....
Good ol' times, almost one week working on Guitar Pro lol
Thank you for mentioning me :)
I'm also a drummer... its a very hard song to play, but with practice I now can play it without much effort, my double bass Tama Starclassic Maple helps alot =)
Regards from Chile.
Excellent beatbox cover btw!
nobody believes me!
mind = blown
Sir, this is most excellent! Please do this with more Dream Theater tunes!
Also, if you happen to read this, I'd be interested in knowing in how long this took you to do.
Danny Pinsent I knew the song very well after a couple years of casually listening to it. Then I practiced this performance for a few days (maybe 3 or 4) then it took me a couple hours to get everything right.
I wanna see Cannibal Corpse Beatbox Cover
LOL I started laughing ma ass off once I saw your comment. But yeah if he could pull that one, it would be EPIC!!!!
this comment is a reason why he stopped hahaha
Jesus lol
DAMN dude. That was fucking impressive.
bro, I thought this was gonna be silly, but this became not a joke so fast. Well done!
-What is the time signature?
-*Yes*
Boy, that was insane. Thanks for sharing
O_O
...excuse me, I need to clean my brain off the floor. That was amazing.
One of the coolest and most insane things I’ve ever seen!! 👍🤘
This is probably the best thing i'we ever seen! Absolutely perfect job man!
im so glad i watched this
Do you know that they featured your video in the video the play during the break of their recent tour? I'm so glad I finally found this video.
This is the most ridiculous and most impressive thing I think I've seen today, congratulations.
All these years later and still, any time dance of eternity comes into my head this is what I put on
this is madness.. props to you my friend
Holy DAMN dude! I've never cared much for beatboxing and all of that... and Dream Theater is one of my two favorite bands.
So to this I Say... WELL DONE! Holy crap, that was amazing! Sharing this! :D
phoenix7289 What is your 'other' favorite band?
Ömer Atasoy Iron Maiden
phoenix7289 favorite song? (other than trooper of FotD please)
Ömer Atasoy Blood Brothers or Rime of the Ancient Mariner. But honestly, I love all of Maiden's work.
phoenix7289 thank you, will give them their shots :)
Bro you are amazing, finding these video is why i open youtube.
That was actually pretty cool , props for getting the time sigs right
amazing, respect !
how in the holy name of fuck do you only have 1000 subs
Because, like all talented people on this Earth, he randomly stopped uploading 2 years ago :(
i feel like just seeing the drums tab laid out on paper would be enough to make a man's head explode
"It's called the Dance of Eternity 'cause it takes an eternity to figure out how to dance to it"
I don't comment on videos very often, but well done sir.
Dream Theater are showing this video in their Europe Tour 2014 :D
Do you know about another video they are showing?
Man... WTF!!! That was insane!!! No just the awesome beatbox, but the having in mind the rythm and signatures... You are in another level of musician!!! :O
I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw this, but I can say I'm glad I did. I'm most impressed that you were able to keep it up for so long.
Great! You kinda remind me of that crazy beatboxing cop from Police Academy HAHA
Tool's Schism is next, right? :V
What an amazing cover
Also gives anxiety when ever I listen to the song now
Unarguably the best thing I watched today.
I was worried at first I might have to kill you. Fortunately, you have performed admirably. Now, take a moment to catch your breath then do "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence."
Gary Garyson Try Octavarium! 😂😂
Robert Campbell
or maybe 12 steps suite (all parts)
The Messhuggah breakdown section isn't 11/4, it's a measure of 5/4 followed by 6/4. You can tell by the clear division of the beat of one. 11/4 would not have that.
Actually I can see that. Good point. But in the part where its just the tom and guitars, the meter is arbitrary.
nothing in music is arbitrary. It's absolute. It's ether correct or wrong. It's not 11/4, it's 5/4 and 6/4. Also I know the two people in the band. THEY WROTE IT, THEY TOLD ME, IT'S NOT 11/4.
Fuck you Sean Cannon. Mangini NEVER said that I know. I've attended his classes in person you dumb fuck. On top of that, it's still not 11/4. Nothing you can do will change that. Portnoy...WHO WROTE IT....even confirmed it wasn't 11/4. GO FUCK YOURSELF. :d
gtrslinger
alright, so could you explain it to a layman, then? For all I know, the below number is a "segment" of the measure, and the above number is how many of those segments there are per measure. Such that there should be no difference between 5/4 + 6/4 and 11/4 beyond typographical, isn't that it? Or even 1/4 + 1/4 + ... + 1/4 eleven times?
gtrslinger Indeed, as others have mentioned, it is arbitrary. Or are you going to say that the Mission: Impossible theme isn’t 5/4, but 6/8 + 2/4? The second notation would be more informative of how the beat is laid out, but it’s originally written as 5/4. And I get the 11/4 idea. The 'phrase' feels like one unit instead of 2 (just like the Mission: Impossible riff therefore being 5/4). The official fully transcribed score book including this song has it as 11/4, by the way (page 10). The transcription was done by Jordan Baker a.k.a. Bakerman, who knows his stuff and works closely with Dream Theater to create the most accurate of music scores. He even corrected The Master of Puppets 5/8 riff, claiming it was an 11/16th, with click-track proof.
Man, kudos from Italy. I say this is the tipical "Hit or miss" thing. Or you nail it and it's awesome or you fail and sucks really hard. You're in the awesome group. Keep it comin'!
this is not the dance of eternity related video i was looking for, but i'm not complaining. That was sick, like wow!
