My fav from back in the day would be Mark Zonder. Originally from an early 80’s band called Warlord, but went on to debut with Fates Warning on the album Perfect Symmetry released 1989. That stands as some of the best drumming I’ve ever heard. No idea if he’s still in the industry.
Great seeing Mike doing what he does best. There is a song called "Tribal" by Nightwish with Kai Hahto on the drums. The drums on that song are insane - every limb is doing it´s own rhythmical thing at the same time and it reminds me of something that Neil Peart might do, especially at the 3:00 minute mark. You can find a video of Kai playing "Tribal" at a drum clinic. Just type in, Kai Hahto tribal drum clinic and it will show up on top. Nightwish just released a live video of that song and it´s great (recommend you watch it) but I don´t recommend that one to react to because you can´t see what Kai is doing on the drums. He´s actually playing the tambourine with his left foot while doing tribal-sounding rhythms with the other limbs. A very underrated drummer who only gets to tap into 10% of his ability in Nightwish.
I remember the time a saw the live concert grand funk railroad at San Francisco old skating arena winter land I start attending theses concerts when I was 10 year's old.. every weekend I've seen Many of the greatest musicians. I was a very fortunate young laddy I'm now living in the Netherlands that's Holland
Mike Portnoy is one of those drummers that cause me to tune out the other musicians from time to time. And I'm a guitarist. Dave Matthews Band drummer has similar effect. And of course John Bonham.
For me personally, over the past 20+ years M. Portnoy has worn the crown, owned the throne, and has held that down with incredible humbleness and humility. And in my opinion the most underrated and unknown drummer. And I believe the main reason is because of the fact their timing signatures, which in by itself you have to virtually be an alien from their planet to figure out so you can tap your fingers along on the steering wheel while stuck in rush hour traffic. My point? Most people like songs they can play along with at least somewhat. That's why their record sales in comparison to say, ACDC, would be night and day. ACDC is a "peoples" band or a "fans band", whereas Dream Theater is more of a "musicians band". However, back to what I was saying....Up until 6 months ago, M.Portnoy was untouchable (IMO)...until I came across El Estepario Siberiano. Whereas Portnoy left me in awe and amazement, El Estepario left me and continues to leave me speechless. And in all fairness, I can't say one is better than the other. Reason: Until Portnoy, the world never really saw drumming and timing signatures like what he was introducing. So he kinda forged the path for drummers like El Estepario and many others. And like Portnoy, El Estepario has introduced us to things we've never seen or heard before. So rather than replacing one king for another, I've chosen to simply add another throne and crown and sit them BOTH at the top. They deserve it.
You didn't just compare an icon like Portnoy who has had a hand in writing some of the best albums ever recorded to a tik tok drummer like El Estepario 😂😂😂😂
Mike Portnoy is my favorite drummer hands down…if could play drums it would be like Mr.Portnoy for sure …great technician of a drummer behind the kit…so happy he’s back with Dream Theater and can’t wait to see them in concert and can’t wait for the new album 🤘🏽
Well hello #ColbyFultonDrums, who is Mike Portney? Man, at least you could spell and pronounce his name the right way. This is the one and only legend of legends MIKE PORTNOY, and he for sure doesn't play Yamaha drums, never had, never will. He has been endorsed by TAMA for about 30 years give or take, for the most part he plays TAMA Starclassics both maple and bubinga.
Great video commentarys you make. Thanks for sharing, i watch you and some other drummers, i'm not playing drums, but finds it's interesting. I play guitar. Great video content you make
@@Bryan-TPortnoy is much more famous and Rullo is much more technically advanced, with infinite better chops. James Labrie is more famous than Russel Allen too 😅😅😅😅
I scrolled through all your video and I didn't see Mike Mangini video reaction. Don't know if you are aware of his time in Dream Theater, but you should check it out. No hate but Mangini is superior. Goodluck and all the best Portnoy for future DT album
You're reactions always come over a bit fake.... Maybe start with pronouncing the drummers name right? One of the most known drummers in the world, and you're saying his name wrong the whole video. Why are you always talking over the video with random stuff? Like video recommendations? Don't ruin the reaction with stuff like that. I would love seeing you react more on whats really happening, instead of just stating the obvious stuff! Still gave a like, and i'm subscribed!
This song, for me, isn’t THAT good rate size. You really need to hear later songs by Dream Theater. Several songs are more than 20 minutes long…ONE SONG my friend!!!! Plus these songs aren’t the same songs repeated over and over to make these 20 dang minutes they’re like Opera ballets 😳😳😳. Great listening to this song my friend. Please react to more Dream Theater songs. You won’t be disappointed my friend 👍👍👍
I'm not a huge DT fan either, however 'Misunderstood', 'Anna Lee' and 'The Answer Lies Within' are a bit different to their norm and definitely on my playlist!
@@martinarscott3524 I’ll go have a snoop at those. I’ll never write a band off completely unless they need to be. There’s usually something that catches me or inspires me
One of the best and creative drummers !! Such a Talent!!
Yeah, Mike is my favorite drummer and he still got it! Really excited to see him back in DT.
What a good idea for a channel just sit there and go what a good idea for a channel just sit there and go "Wow" over and over again
I worked for Mike a couple of times and he’s a very good drummer and a nice person to hang out with

He's a creative drummer. l love his powerful sound and soul.
He's playing on Tama Starclassics.
I'm proud of the original player MP and the original DT personnel, I'm proud that he's back, the super hero is back to raise his self-esteem

Same. I'm a guitarist but when I listen to any band with Portnoy playing I am listening to the drums.
@@andylewin3029 Yep. He's just that good!
Best drummer on the Best channel. Classic

So good. YES. I love that song.
Somehow I can't hear this song without thinking of the O'keefe Foundation kids doing it.

Well he had better crush it. FFS sake is his song.
I like the drummer of the winery dogs Mike Portnoy
OK, who hasn't Mike played with.
The DA doesnt even play the whole video where he's giving background on the song and the fills he came up with. Major fail as always smdh.
Please react to "Chris Turner Tracks Heir to the Throne by I Am Abomination" 🔥
No no no.... Mike plays Tama StarClassic drums. Yamaha are good, but mot the brand he uses.
Mike portnoy the best drummer in the world

Mangini is great, but Portnoy has character, less roboty
Gotta stop saying his name wrong bro
