He sounds great in this setting. No matter what he does, he sounds like himself. His personality comes through. He is a legend and a hero to many. Much respect.
He is truly the greatest drummer. I've had the honor of watching him play live 4 times. 2 times with Dream Theater, once with Avenged Sevenfold, and once with Adrenaline Mob.
I was sad before watching this video... now my skin is full of dots and my body is covered with motions and there is only a smile on my face. I love you, Mike.
Mike Portnoy hands down is the greatest live drummer to ever live.. always has the best sounds out of his kits and cymbals and seems to always know the perfect touches for songs . That and he’s so great with the audiences .
Yeah I agree in this performance there's nothing out of this world technically, alot of advanced drummers could probably play this easily, but with Mike it's about the energy and style that makes him such a great drummer.
The x-hats are 16" AAx-Plosion Hats. The regular hats are the 14" AAX-Plosion Hats. The Crashes are (from OUR view left to right): Manta Ray, Bash Ride, AAX Recording Crash, Artisan Crash, Freq Crash, Chaos China, HHX Groove Crash. Hope this helps. If ya need sizes, I can help ya out. lol
From ARGENTINA I salute you Mike , all my respect to your work , I follow all ypur proyects that your're involved and more I hear more I pops your Work , A REALY MUSICIAN OF OUR TIME 🤘🤘
People criticize his playing as being simple. It's the way he plays his music that is anything but simple. He's a pro, he makes it look easy, because its just natural for him. Also, anyone can cover a song written by a great drummer, but its writing like one that earns you respect and credibility. Not because you do DT covers on RUclips.
mike portnoy is my #1 favorite drummer u cant match his style and and they way he plays like its nothing for him. i can only hope that i can be as great as him one day.
I agree. And what people miss is that music isn't all about being hard to play. Just because he was in DT people expect him to be all over the place with time signatures, polyrhytms and whatnot. Just let the man play whatever he wants, and likes!
Mike found himself in this group. Plays quite like the style and technique. dt music was also quite complex, more melodic and hard rock to be doing here, I loved it.
I hear what you're saying about the high price of symbols but then again there is that Mike Portnoy fan in Indonesia who played buckets pots and pans so well that Mike Portnoy himself gifted him a new drum set
I met him at a drum clinic in YOnkers New York when i was 13(30now) Didnt know who he was or who DT was but my dad was like hey lets go check this guy out. I was so floored by the stuff he did bc at that time nothing i grew up listening to sounded like the Awake album. Changed my whole drumming world after that. Since then im a huge fan he's m fav drummer. I have listened to the new DT album once all the way through and i cant listen to it again,i agree 100% with what you said, its not the same
Genial de NECTAR y muchas gracias por compartir la música que nos une. 🤜🎵🎶🤛💯❌💯 Y un gran saludo de la banda " N E C T A R power trío ".!!! Great from NECTAR and thank you very much for sharing the music that unites us. 🤜🎵🎶🤛💯❌💯 And a big shout out from the band " N E C T A R power trio". !!!
Se nota una madures musical en Mike en este tema. Es un músico que se esta reinventando y evolucionando su música, explorando otras alternativas. Me parece que es el baterista mas completo que existe (pienso yo). Es genial este tema, estilo simple y a la vez cortante, este señor es un genio del instrumento!!!
oh my god I thought the video skipped back to the beginning of the solo .. took me a bit before I realized it was supposed to be that way for whatever reason. MP, you are one Badass man, keep up the excellent work \m/
E aí, Mike Portnoy! Blz? Na minha modesta opinião, não há melhor baterista do mundo do Rock do que você atualmente! Saudosos todos os outros tantos imortais, a exemplo de Neil Peart, sensacional, incrível.... Sou grande fã de vocês que fazem da vida a arte imprescindível! Abraço
no matter what they say, he's legendary, one of the most inspirational drummer to all drummer in the world
cikei he just has a rough time with people. It’s just a personality thing.
Exactly .
Lol. No
He sounds great in this setting. No matter what he does, he sounds like himself. His personality comes through. He is a legend and a hero to many. Much respect.
After Neil.... The best drumer... Just like thar!!!
R.I.P! Neil Peart!!
Portnoy you are amazing!
He is truly the greatest drummer. I've had the honor of watching him play live 4 times. 2 times with Dream Theater, once with Avenged Sevenfold, and once with Adrenaline Mob.
ever hit, ever crash is with perfect intent.
This performance is still satisfying in every way.
God this guy is awesome. His kit sounds amazing!
2021 e estamos aqui desfrutando desse monstro

Damn soo good, 2020 and still watching him! Love U Mike you are the best inspiration!
he makes it look so easy!
His playing is as good as ever. He's playing what he wants to be playing.
Não há o que dizer de fato, é o baterista mais influente dos últimos 25 anos.
damn, such insanely good fluidity. he just looks and sounds so chilled
One of the best that there is.... period.
the verse groove is so complex that no rock drummers would play for this kind of song... hes made it sound so awesome and intricate
7 years ago hahaha memoriesss
mike has been my favorite drummer since 1992 and always will be.
Cool Mike! Love that AA China! Great drumming Mike! Keep Rockin'! Sabian Rock! 🤘🤘DC
Mike is such a fucking badass
Aprendi a curtir Mike Portnoy bem cedo, hoje sou fan. Curto muito ele é matador!
I was sad before watching this video... now my skin is full of dots and my body is covered with motions and there is only a smile on my face. I love you, Mike.
Great sounding cymbals, love the kit, sounds epic! Sabian is the best
Mike Portnoy hands down is the greatest live drummer to ever live.. always has the best sounds out of his kits and cymbals and seems to always know the perfect touches for songs . That and he’s so great with the audiences .
Yup. Portnoy was a big part of their magic.
Yeah I agree in this performance there's nothing out of this world technically, alot of advanced drummers could probably play this easily, but with Mike it's about the energy and style that makes him such a great drummer.
Brilliant!! Such an effortless playing! Got a big pleasure for my eyes and ears!!!🤘🥁💪 MP rules! As always!
expectacular mike
All the cymbals are really great.... specially i like the left front 16 inch crash, the china and obviously the ozone splash.... \\Heal yeah//
mike portnoy is the best
His playing is pretty smooth here...
This song is AMAZING!!! First Time I Listen to Adrenaline Mob, Going to check out the rest of there album now.
Perfect!
The x-hats are 16" AAx-Plosion Hats. The regular hats are the 14" AAX-Plosion Hats.
The Crashes are (from OUR view left to right): Manta Ray, Bash Ride, AAX Recording Crash, Artisan Crash, Freq Crash, Chaos China, HHX Groove Crash. Hope this helps. If ya need sizes, I can help ya out. lol
THATS A DAMN GOOD SOUNDING KIT!!! Even tho the see-thru shells....ME WANT!!!!!
just another day in the office for mister portnoy!
There were many greats before Mike, but he is now the greatest of our time and for a long time to come!
Man... Mike Portnoy is like the Chuck Norris of drumming.
From ARGENTINA I salute you Mike , all my respect to your work , I follow all ypur proyects that your're involved and more I hear more I pops your Work , A REALY MUSICIAN OF OUR TIME 🤘🤘

Grande Gaveta! Fã de MP, o melhor baterista do mundo!!!
I agree. those guys are best buds.
Mike portnoy♥️
Excellent. Mike makes his drum parts sing.
One of my all time favorites
Portnoy really works hard for being able to hit all those splashes and crashes for accenting on the songs thats he is playing.
mike portnoy is my #1 favorite drummer u cant match his style and and they way he plays like its nothing for him. i can only hope that i can be as great as him one day.
Whoever has said that Mike's style as being simple have obviously never heard The Dance Of Eternity.
He is so so so so sooooo smooth
I'm here for the cymbals. And everythign sounded more than that.
😅😅😅
2022... And seeing this video once and again...
I agree. And what people miss is that music isn't all about being hard to play. Just because he was in DT people expect him to be all over the place with time signatures, polyrhytms and whatnot. Just let the man play whatever he wants, and likes!
My main inspirational source to playing drums.
Mike found himself in this group. Plays quite like the style and technique. dt music was also quite complex, more melodic and hard rock to be doing here, I loved it.
The best cover that i already seen !
Man. I second your concern...
exactly, you nailed it.
Best Drummer
surname Portnoy in translation from russian is " Tailor " )))
seems like his original name is "Михаил Портной"
Love these fast splashes!
Mike forever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's sad how basically two of those cymbals on that set, costs more than all 7 cymbals on my set...
and then they break, i hate cymbals
Whats even sadder, is they give them to him
I hear what you're saying about the high price of symbols but then again there is that Mike Portnoy fan in Indonesia who played buckets pots and pans so well that Mike Portnoy himself gifted him a new drum set
They cost more than my whole kit.
POR LA CRESTA!!..ESTE WN SIEMPRE TOCA BIEN DONDE SEA..NO IMPORTA QUE YA NO ESTE EN DREAM , HE UN MOSTRUO IGUAL..MAESTRO"!! MY RESPECT
I love to see mike playing whatever the fuck he wants to play
I met him at a drum clinic in YOnkers New York when i was 13(30now) Didnt know who he was or who DT was but my dad was like hey lets go check this guy out.

Since then im a huge fan he's m fav drummer. I have listened to the new DT album once all the way through and i cant listen to it again,i agree 100% with what you said, its not the same
