I just bought the "Black Cloud Silver Lining" Portnoy color Tama B/B kit and it is truly awesome..been playing a very long time and this kit comes 8, 10, 12, 16, 22 for 1499 at G.C. All other BB kits at 1499 only have 4 shell pack so the added 8" is a bonus and the color is radical but really nice. The sound? warm, deeper shells than regular hyperdrive B/B, more sustain and sound stunning! I had no clue when I bought them the color was Portnoy's.
Yep happened at a Boston show in early 2002. I was fortunate enough to attend that show. Hell of a drum solo with the 2 of them. Rather odd for me looking back, having seen the guy that was to replace Mike play with Mike on stage. Kinda cool memory there.
First heard this guy back in 92. And he’s been the dude ever since. Yeah I listened to Nick Menza, blown away by Neil Peart, John Bonham was a just a angry monster. Vinnie Paul didn’t give a damn. Jai “Johanny Johansson left my jaw wide open. And Buddy Rich is still the GOD. But Portnoy was and still is the core of Dream Theater. Every Dream Theater album this guy was on I kept thinking, what is he gonna come up with next? Dude never disappointed.
I defiantly see the upside to Mangini, but as you said it's all a matter of taste. For me, Mike is the man. Super nice guy as well. Had the pleasure of meeting him years ago.
@Langtw Thats not the reason mate, he wanted to take a break from the 'DT machine' but they wouldn't give him a break so he pretty much left/got kicked out, he wanted to come back but they didnt want him.
Ok, so Mike had Jose as his drum tech here. But, previously when they were touring for Systematic Chaos and a couple other albums, he had another tech. Because Jose was his tech during Scenes From a Memory.
could anyone tell me please what´s the difference between the materials the drums are made ? wich sounds better , wich is for studio recording and all that stuff i know that i sound like a rookie and i´ve been playing for 8 years :S but i havent known that information
miltonartex lo ke pasa ke en el 2005 al 2007 trajo al tecnico eric disrude y en esta gra regreso jose baraqui es el ke ha traido todo el tiempo es muy buen batakero tmb (y)
@MrJonzii94 I do the exact same thing. I don't even like playing on other people's sets most of the time, simply because I have my pedals and cymbals set up a certain way.
lol ive met his tech before!!! the drum store i go to...he plays golf all the time with the owner so its funny to see who he actually is!!! ill remmber this the next time i meet him...
@MrJonzii94 Haha, yeah. It probably takes like 7 people to set it up in a reasonable amount of time. Moving my 4-shell kit is already enough of a pain without adding 200 more toms to it (Plus a xylophone).
I think it is the same drumtech he's been using for several years ( asian). He just got longer hair now:-) Look at their older videos, he's the guy who swings Mike's microphone back and forth under vocal parts.
personal preference... but supposedly birch is the "best sounding" for recording purposes because its brighter and can probably be EQed easier. Maple is warmer and best for live situations. If the drums aren't tuned right it doesn't matter. I have a birch kit and it sounds great. I forget alot of what I researched years ago, but that's the gist of it
@outlaw6066, i have a DW collector's kit 5-piece, and a Tama StarClassic Bubinga ELITE 9-piece kit, and i gotta say that the elite kit is SOOOOO much better than the DW kit. Not just cuz its alot bigger, but cuz the sound is so amazing. its so tough to even describe the sound. the only reason why he would switch is for money, i can guarentee you that. or if DW decides to actually use bubinga
@netorockerg My theory: It really is Myung... He plays bass at night, the rest of the band still does not recognize him, so he eats and eats and eats in his own depression and then the next day kills the actual drum tech, makes himself a drum tech, and gets to talk to Mike Portnoy because he's a fun dude... then the show comes on, has to appear onstage again, to repeat this endless cycle. Why do you think you pretty much never see Myung in these stage tours? Ninja ninja ninja...
I came here from the Metal Masters video where Portnoy, Benante and Lombardo all play together, and it's shocking how much Portnoy's playing between that video and this one sound EXACTLY THE SAME - as in, he plays *exactly* the same patterns. This guy has done some great work in the past, but he's definitely plateaued as far as creativity and ingenuity.
If you said that based on his recent work, than that would be a matter of opinion and I would respect it. But, instead, you based yourself on these 'solo sample' videos, and I really don't think that would be an accurate estimator for a musician's creativity. I think it's perfectly ok to just repeat the same patterns. He must be asked to do this A LOT. Anyway, just as a personal opinion, the only drum solos I would enjoy are those as in the ending of Dream Theater's "Finally Free". It really seems like drummers will just senseless beat the hell out of the kit when someone asks for them to play alone.
@123theater1 Find a band, and practice for 6-10 hours a week in at least 3-5 hour chunks, you'll be fine in a month. And naw, they are standard long ones, which the lowest pitch one is 2 feet long.
It amazes me how you non entity's sit here and criticize one of the best drummers in the world, what the fuck can you do behind the drum kit, Portnoy would fuckin smoke you. You guys would criticize Neal Peart as " He's about as good as he'll ever get, get a clue.

Whoever said "less is more" just had no fucking imagination.
Amen
and no fucking sense of logic

john: were moving practice from your house to my house
Mike: SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
John: just get overhere
Mike: ok
I defiantly see the upside to Mangini, but as you said it's all a matter of taste. For me, Mike is the man. Super nice guy as well. Had the pleasure of meeting him years ago.
@timn877 Yeah Petrucci also got a new tech methinks.
Welcome back 🤘🏼
Those Toms just sound amazing .. you got to love TAMA drums.
I would love to see someone try and make a replica of this kit (only the two bass drum half obviously or even the smaller half)
God I am gonna miss seeing this silly amazing funny drummer on DT
Welcome back :)
5:02 Mike Mangini as guest, how ironic
My thought exactly
@Langtw Thats not the reason mate, he wanted to take a break from the 'DT machine' but they wouldn't give him a break so he pretty much left/got kicked out, he wanted to come back but they didnt want him.
2:07, god I cant stop listening to that lol
Portnoy what a top bloke and a great drummer.
A rite of passage from black clouds and silver linings
Ok, so Mike had Jose as his drum tech here. But, previously when they were touring for Systematic Chaos and a couple other albums, he had another tech. Because Jose was his tech during Scenes From a Memory.
@Zynpar09 I would put a pillow inside it. And make sure its not like a factory head lol
I would hate to be the drum tech Juan. Holy China the monster is huge. Absolutely gorgeous and amazing. I eat, sleep, and breathe drums. ❤
could anyone tell me please what´s the difference between the materials the drums are made ? wich sounds better , wich is for studio recording and all that stuff i know that i sound like a rookie and i´ve been playing for 8 years :S but i havent known that information
maestrooo!!!! te llevo siempre en mi corazon
@shazzylazzy good luck getting it out the back door...or any door for that matter
"i´ve had a lot of guests....mike mangini" yeah mike, mangini is gonna sit on your kit now xD

What is the song playing in the background?
Im just stabbing in the dark, but wasnt this guy the tech for campotelli from Joe satriani's band? i might be completely wrong.
@teachingfeller Well actually, the right side of the kit is pretty typical metal drumset? Not the whole kit, I mean the both sides together... :D
@ebyjon Well seeing as how that ride alone is about $400.00. I would guess around 9,000-10,000
If not more
@MrJonzii94 Haha, yeah. It probably takes like 7 people to set it up in a reasonable amount of time. Moving my 4-shell kit is already enough of a pain without adding 200 more toms to it (Plus a xylophone).

Is that guy (5:28) Myung cousin?
I seriously want Portnoy's shirt sooooooooooooooooo bad !

What happend to Eric his old TECH!!!???
Wait... so the one on the RIGHT is the odd one?!
anyone know how to tune the bass drum to make it sounds similar to Portnoy's? Do i tune the resonant higher than the batter?
a rite of passage of the black clouds and silver linings album
porq cambio de tecnico nuevamente
sera q quiere obtener sonidos de awake y volver a esas raicez
Whats the end song?
can you hear it? double bass drum but only 1 foot is moving 1:58
@ebyjon Well seeing as how that ride alone is about $400.00. I would guess around 9,000-10,000
If not more. No, deff more. Prob around 15-20,000
i think what he meant was that metal kits tend to be big; double bass drums with multiple toms and a lot of cymbals :P
lots of metaldrummers pro and ameture use 2 bass 3 rack 2 floor tom
Chris Calderon lol that’s my set up. Ow and sabian cymbals.
i'm curious about jose's nationality.. is he Filipino??
4:26 = it sounds like the bit from NIGHTMARE!
Jose Baraquio has a great Job!!! Lucky bastard :D
Can you buy these at argos?
What is the hand pattern that he uses on the octobans/toms at 2:07?I think its a herta, but not sure please.
PHANTOM Band it's a herta I think
What song was used in the intro?
helpmeimconfused a rite of passage
Kinda weird to hear Mike Mangini.
What?
@Eddie147741 naaaaah man it's 2 feet but you don't see the other foot doing the second hit :P
HEY MIKE! i cant wait to see you use that kit for the next dream theater.....oh wait....
LOVE the finish
@Widelfsupremo Yeah, rainbow beard. I was wondering who else noticed :D
@netorockerg My theory: It really is Myung... He plays bass at night, the rest of the band still does not recognize him, so he eats and eats and eats in his own depression and then the next day kills the actual drum tech, makes himself a drum tech, and gets to talk to Mike Portnoy because he's a fun dude... then the show comes on, has to appear onstage again, to repeat this endless cycle. Why do you think you pretty much never see Myung in these stage tours? Ninja ninja ninja...
He played Mapex drums too.
es de mi kit favoritos
Mike Portnoy + Blake Richardson = Perpetual Ear Pleasure
why'd Eric Disrude go?
I never knew mike had so many tattoos :o
Oh man... never heard jose talk before!!
@MrJonzii94 No joke. They probably need a U-Haul truck to move the drums alone.

Maybe you should go and show him how it's done, Yea Right he would smoke you with both hands tied behind his back..
I like Portnoy's kit much than Mangini's
@123theater1 Find a band, and practice for 6-10 hours a week in at least 3-5 hour chunks, you'll be fine in a month. And naw, they are standard long ones, which the lowest pitch one is 2 feet long.
@teachingfeller Whoops, I mean left side xP
Definition of irony: Having as a guest his replacement from DT, to play his drums...
" 'You only have two arms' "
Pschaw.
@ShredYoung rite of passage
mike portnoy: "you know...i get all this shit for free...so the least i can do is talk the best i can about tama" :D I WANT THIS FUCKING DRUMSET DAMN
I didn't knew that John Myung has a brother !
@1337RaysoRb a rite of passage
Wouldn't surprise me if he switched to DW. I can see it happening one day. ;-)
@MrJoeChops Nah... Dimebag's was longer and red... red FTW.
Why is it that most people of Dream Theater have their names with John or Mike ?
1:59 Checkered Vans Slip-Ons = Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!
