Portnoy is a master at composing drum parts to bring out the soul of the entire song. It has a consistency that is aesthetically pleasing. Mancini while a technical beast plays each drum part more isolated to focus on the technicality of that phrase. He doesn’t have the same skill that Portnoy does on bringing the whole song together. Mangini composes like he’s giving a drum seminar. Portnoy just feels the music and leaves his fingerprints all over every nuance and has his own unique style.
I actually have met Mike super nice down to earth guy , having been playing 43 years myself all the he's the best etc... Mike is an intense prog drummer who plays with a lot of feel and heart , he doesn't sound " mechanical " as most prog drummers do ..
all i want to say is, DREAM THEATER ROCKS! Mike Portnoy Rules! For me his the best modern drummer! his the best drummer! i love this song! this song was compose by James Labrie ryte? :D hehe~
ok, technically, there are several guys better than Mike....fortunately, music is not all about technique.....He just put the right "note" in the right time... love his composition! :)
Naw hes super technical. Technical today just means shredding over time signature changes. Portnoy is complicated because his parts are so methodical. Not one drummer can play Learning To Live in its entirety. Underrated song but one of Portnoys most technical. Todays chop savvy and rudimentary drummers still cant play his parts right. There is a varying degree of technical ability, Portnoys is deceivingly difficult.
My God I was getting dizzy watching him during the verse beat. Un-feaking-believable! But I got ask, is that type of beat really needed? I guess it's all in the prog-fun. Keep it real Mike, you are the Man.
hehe im raising the numbers i tell everyone i no about them and at first their like i dont wanna hear them!! then i makem listen to it and there like o wow there good dt is my favorite band of all time lol and portnoys my fav drummer
well that was exactly the goal of MP when they made this song haha, i bought Systematic Chaos special edition ( with the promotional DVD) you can see em babbling about the song and see MP and JP doing the *queenish* thingies. funny to watch
hey man sorry to disagree but this song is awesome. he did what was nessicarry for the beat and hestill made it sound great (yes like jks2389 said). Plus he's so fluid with his strokes. Just hits then like he's cutting a hand off...straight down and quick. he has a nice flick to it aswell
No, definitely can't be that. They have lots of different fans in different areas but I guarantee if you asked 1,000 random people if they knew of DT only 10 or so would say yes.
i think i agree with you and im truely hoping he brings is more technical drumming back in their new album, but this is still amazing. just not portnoy amazing yeh know?
I believe the point was made earlier that a good drummer always does what sounds best for the song, not what's best for his ego/skill. MP is a very good drummer, but for him to do his normal thing on a song would've sounded out of place.
Dream Theater has never been famous. One could, however argue that DT are a much more established act than Muse and are much more skilled players. PS: I prefee Muse to DT but just barely. Both are in my top 2 bands. It's obvious that Mike was heavily influenced by Muse in this song. Let's just enjoy both bands and not say belittling things about either band.
Everybody knows who DT is Japan and most of Europe. Too bad most Americans,(and I hate to say, my fellow Canadians who catch the American cold) are very narrow minded and fold their so called 'freedom' to a machine that is the media. Celebrities start playing poker, so now it's cool if you do. UFC becomes the masculine thing to watch, so now beating people up makes you a better man. Gangster rappers shoot and sell, so blacks are stereotypically deemed to the same lifestyle.So what makes famous?
PLEASE STOP WITH THIS FU... INFLUENCE ...! Cause their influence were Led Zep, PINK FLOYD... ,So stop fucking with MUSE...I Like a lot Muse and all what they do but DT ARE MORE ABOVE ALL OF BANDS !!
I was one of the people blessed enough to record the group chant in-studio with Mike Portnoy for this record 😊

As a drummer who wants to see boundaries pushed I prefer mangini. But as a music fan who wants to feel the music I prefer Portnoy
1:20 when the drums kick in and mimic the rhythm of Petrucci's power chords is so awesome.
no one can beat portnoy, even asian.
end of discussion.
One of the best drummers on this planet!!!!!
Yeahh
Mike!!! When i think i'm going to see you in live November 7th.... You rock dude!!!!!!!! DT forever
And how it was?:)
I actually have met Mike super nice down to earth guy , having been playing 43 years myself all the he's the best etc... Mike is an intense prog drummer who plays with a lot of feel and heart , he doesn't sound " mechanical " as most prog drummers do ..
What's amazing is that even with this video I still can't figure out half of what he's doing.
Just fantastic! Perfect Song ..
all i want to say is, DREAM THEATER ROCKS! Mike Portnoy Rules! For me his the best modern drummer! his the best drummer! i love this song! this song was compose by James Labrie ryte? :D hehe~
He adds alot to the song with that awesome drumming. Mr P is THE drummer!
ok, technically, there are several guys better than Mike....fortunately, music is not all about technique.....He just put the right "note" in the right time... love his composition! :)
MATE, EXACTLY!!
You are damn right. You can know the whole theory but creativeness is something only few have.

Tas un poquito equivocado.....
Top de mais great mike portinoy
Magnífico. Um gênio da música. grande Mike Portnoy
This is awesome to watch
5:16 portnoy is a magicien to .. he changed his short during the song
hahaha epic comment
+Diego Velázquez lol thnx .. but i think that he can do it in reality.. that s for sure hahaha genius drummer
This songs feels with a lot of MUSE's influences
man, thanks for posting this videos
Portnoy my favorite drummer
My favorite muse song
Sensacional. Assim como ele faz ao vivo. 👏🏼🇧🇷
come back to DT, genius!
In my opinion the stuff mike wrote earlier was much more creative and challenging, i mean this is still great, love mike.
a fucking genius
I agree, I get a lot of muse vibes when I hear this song
My Drum Idol! [2]
god this drum part is so sick
he's the prophet of drums :P
God I miss him
My God I was getting dizzy watching him during the verse beat. Un-feaking-believable! But I got ask, is that type of beat really needed? I guess it's all in the prog-fun. Keep it real Mike, you are the Man.
reminds me of Muse for soem reason
Not so much. Octavarium was the album Portnoy said was most influenced by Muse.
For all the reason this is 100%muse
Maybe because its Muse style composition :)
Wow!
muy buen tema :)
Only drum it's a must
ugh once i see this video i realize how many little accents ive missed
You go dude!
TOTALY AGREE ...:-) cool !!
Very Nice when we speak each others without struggle :p :-)
Mangini bisa berak darah kalo di suruh main lagu ini
i concur
hehe im raising the numbers i tell everyone i no about them and at first their like i dont wanna hear them!! then i makem listen to it and there like o wow there good dt is my favorite band of all time lol and portnoys my fav drummer
/yes
The Father , the Son , the Holy Ghost and Mike Portnoy
well that was exactly the goal of MP when they made this song haha, i bought Systematic Chaos special edition ( with the promotional DVD) you can see em babbling about the song and see MP and JP doing the *queenish* thingies. funny to watch
Muse - Resistence
It appears that he goes through about 8 bottles of cymbal polish every day :D
1:35 till 2:28 AWESOME
Satisfying as fuck
labrie wrote the lyrics, it's composed by DT ;)
I'm sure DT would admit their obvious muse influence over the last couple of albums. They've never been shy about their influences. Big deal!
maybe
but he'd probably struggle with it a lil' bit
This drum track is too simple for mike but it still sounds awsome.
Mangini is a circus drummer, no feel, cold, just faster and hard to play drums is the goal
Yup, thats exactly wat i meant
no offense to anyone.. but Portnoy do listen to Muse.
it looks sped up at 2:07
god damn!
no just the video isn't capturing enough frames to see all his movement - that's called FAST
i know i was just commenting on how quick he can move. :)
he looks lil' like a white Jesus who plays drums for the NY Knickerbockers @ 00:40 🤣
I think that who wrote that DT sometimes sound like Musa is right. If you listen to "Stockholm syndrome", there are some similarities.
what? you lucky!
His signature Sabian Max Stax?
one word.
WOW
btw i think i just came :o
damn! "Stockholm syndrome" sounds almost like "Never Enough" wo
hey man sorry to disagree but this song is awesome. he did what was nessicarry for the beat and hestill made it sound great (yes like jks2389 said). Plus he's so fluid with his strokes. Just hits then like he's cutting a hand off...straight down and quick. he has a nice flick to it aswell
No, definitely can't be that.

i think i agree with you and im truely hoping he brings is more technical drumming back in their new album, but this is still amazing. just not portnoy amazing yeh know?
certo che è strano veder suonare portney su un set che monta un solo tom..seppur ci siano anche gli altri tipici set enormi montati accanto...
does anyone know what kind of cymbal portnoy is using, the one with the inverted bell?
thats the only cymbal i know of that has an inverted bell on top of it
muse fucking rules assface! but respect for DT!
I believe the point was made earlier that a good drummer always does what sounds best for the song, not what's best for his ego/skill. MP is a very good drummer, but for him to do his normal thing on a song would've sounded out of place.
How could I find the photo in the intro of the video?
The Muse influence is incredibly obvious.
my top 5 drumers
AQUILES PRIESTER
MIKE PORTNOY
BOBBY JARZOMBECK
TERRY BOZZIO
BUDDY RICH
check out Brent Smedley
What? I didn't understand. Are you saying they can't play whatever the hell they want as fast as they want?
hmm, to me its different, i really prefer the older songs, I&W FII Octavarium SDOIT
me to godometal555 ....:D
2:00-2:29 what the fuck!!!!
So that will mean 1/100
If you ask everyone on the planet, 60 million wil say yes then. :p lol w/e
DT sounds a bit like muse
what is this?! this is not dt i used to listen!
you din't listen to DT D:
Muse influence?!?! They wish!!
only if its used in the wrong context loll
Sorry man, but DT actually is famous
Dream Theater has never been famous. One could, however argue that DT are a much more established act than Muse and are much more skilled players.
PS: I prefee Muse to DT but just barely. Both are in my top 2 bands. It's obvious that Mike was heavily influenced by Muse in this song. Let's just enjoy both bands and not say belittling things about either band.
You're obviously not a drummer when you write this... tried to watch video's with just his drumming on Constant Motion? :P
Everybody knows who DT is Japan and most of Europe. Too bad most Americans,(and I hate to say, my fellow Canadians who catch the American cold) are very narrow minded and fold their so called 'freedom' to a machine that is the media.
Celebrities start playing poker, so now it's cool if you do. UFC becomes the masculine thing to watch, so now beating people up makes you a better man. Gangster rappers shoot and sell, so blacks are stereotypically deemed to the same lifestyle.So what makes famous?
also this isn't really a great drumming track for portnoy he has much better stuff
oh and i suppose tommy lee is "god" to you right? get some REAL taste in music. or at least keep your inaccurate comments to yourself
tool is such a gay word to call people
Sorry man, but not really.
PLEASE STOP WITH THIS FU... INFLUENCE ...! Cause their influence were Led Zep, PINK FLOYD... ,So stop fucking with MUSE...I Like a lot Muse and all what they do but DT ARE MORE ABOVE ALL OF BANDS !!
