DREAM THEATER - The Dance of Eternity - Drum Cover
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- The big one! This album was the time period when I first discovered Dream Theater and was absolutely blown away. My discovery of Mike Portnoy came at a great time in my drumming abilities because I was capable of many things but never applied it to complex time signatures and extreme memorization.

I spent 30 minutes learning the first 20 seconds
Teddy Rossini actually same
same here, but with guitar
You're pretty fast then: there's people who couldn't get their heads around that for years!
I am still looking for my drumsticks!
yeah it’s tricky to try and find ways to mimic all the cymbals when all you’ve got is a hi hat, crash, and ride lol
I've got a friend who's new to drumming and I think I'll suggest for him to learn this as its a good beginner song then I can have him move on to bands like ACDC and Motley Crue to better his technical playing.
+Reid Gowan good idea. It's good to show people songs they can play instantly, like this one.
Agreed. That straight 4 of AC/DC really screws people up
That joke
LOLOLOLOLOLLLLL
You stole this from another video. Nice try though.
should have auditioned for dream theater in 2010
Stubbs 99 agreed
If only DT didn’t have a stick up their arse and allowed Portnoy to do an album with A7x and just waited a bit.
that audition was a farce anyway, it was decided beforehand that Mangini was gonna win
@Kid Political Portnoy recorded Nightmare way before the split. He even toured a few months with them. Everyone including Petrucci said A7X had nothing to do with it. Portnoy just wanted a break from Dream Theater. Pretty much everyone in DT always did side projects anyway so Nightmare wasn't at all the reason he left/was forced to leave
insomniac oh I was always under the impression that’s the reason he left because they didn’t want to wait. But it’s probably what happens to a lot of bands it goes from being a bunch of friends playing for music into a business that Portnoy didn’t want to be apart of anymore.
Josh you are so fucking unbelievably good.
;)
A fucking men
The Dance of Larsternity pls?
That video would be just him throwing his sticks in the air mate. Mangini and Portnoy are in another universe when it comes to Lars and his things....
I propose it be called the lance of ulrichity.
The Lars of Eternity
Just a really fuckin intense 4 to the floor polyrhythm
Add 80% more of snare rolls and china rape without taking care of rhythm
at 3:49, that's crazy! That pattern is very hard!
maybe the charleston had to be kept opened a bit longer...
dmh091
honestly that's the hardest part of the song for me. it should be simple, but for some reason I can never get it right
dmh091
also Josh posted a comment saying that that was the hardest part for him
dmh091
yeah, I found it easier to hard-memorize the song rather than worry too much about counting everything, mainly because I learned it relatively early; just a couple months after beginning to drum, and didn't fully understand the theory behind time signatures yet.
What strokeeeee is that? Omggggg
Mike portnoy was definitely creative in his musical abilities. One of my favorite drummers. Nice cover
EnergizingBane he was great in that band i still cant believe he left
jimmybarr1966 listen to Sons Of Apollo
Fuck me, you are the best RUclips drummer I've ever seen, you deserve so many more viewers, thank you for these!
Zakariah Lafreniere as long as he teaches me how to drum first, he can take me
lewd
I've heard this song so many times, I have it pretty much imprinted in my head, and every section and time change memorized.
....now all I gotta do is learn how to hold a fuckin drumstick.
This is like the final boss of drumming
Or any instrument
At least in metal, yes
Just amazing:
-Most drummer skip that ghosts notes at 1:38, you don't, great job!
-Dynamic was awesome! most drummers play the song with a kind of robotic dynamic, the dynamic plays an important roll in a good song, not only play all the exact notes.
-Hey man, these improvisations, wow, OP.
-I like how you play the song, fallowing your own rules and not trying to imitate Portnoy.
Again, amazing video! Like and Subscribe.
+Néstor Paredes thank you man. ;)
Those little hi hat rolls around 4:53 were a tasty flourish.
I don’t think there is a modern drummer who utilizes the kit to it’s fullest potential more than Portnoy. His cymbal work is incredible.
I think you meant, "and, his cymbal work is incredible.". :D
That's three DT covers in a row, we should create a religion called Joshism
sounds great
Sounds like a medical condition
If was three tool songs the religion should be name jo-schism
@@felipeveiga5807 good one
Usually I just enjoy your videos, like them, and don't leave a comment; but I had to on this one. This was absolutely mesmerising!
Thank you man. ;)
HOOO SHIT HE DONE DID IT!!!! MAN WHEN I TRIED PLAYING THIS I LEGIT GOT STRESSED OUT, MASSIVE RESPECT TO YOU MAN!
+Dan Halm when you got stressed out you'd better keep trying until you can do it, the feeling is awesome, also when you're going to do songs that are as complicated as this you can learn it faster
That is quite true, but I was just confused in like "ahhh where the hell is this going?!" I Appreciate the advice good sir, have a nice day
Dan Halm same everytime playing this song lol
Dude your a beast. Also that thing you did at 3:04 was awesome
So sick
This is one of the hardest drum covers! Well DONE!
Sick, just Sick!
I play drums for 10 years, since I'm 6 years old, and I never tried to play that instrumental by Dream Theater and here is Josh and he's like 'I do it every fucking time'. Bravo.
AWESOME AWESOME AND AWESOME PLAYING DRUM
+KRISNA MUSIK thanks for watching.
what the soundcard for record your drum ? its very nice sound
Josh you should have seen my face when I saw this in your uploads man
dude.... i have watched this video like 20 times.... it's really helpful when learning it....thanks alot!
+Caleb Mole my pleasure
+Josh Steffen drum cover Rammstein
I like to come back and watch this video every couple of years, still impresses me
Long time subscriber, first time commenter.
That's one of the best drum covers I've ever seen. Thankyou so much for doing it all in one take, on one camera, and on an accessible kit. Love it.
+Ryan Fullerton ;)
Absolutely best cover of this I've heard. Top man!
+John Polston Thanks!
Just play the notes...
Naaaaaa! He's good but u gotta see Marco Minneman playing this song.
I keep finding new videos on your channel and getting impressed. So much talent! Congrats!
That was the most solid cover I’ve heard of that song. Good job
You have such amazing skills and style. You motivate me in my own playing and remind me how much the drums mean to me.
I am so stoked on your stuff. How clean and with how much style you play, is just a pleasure to see and hear. You are a true master of drums.
I like how at the end he goes like "that was alright" when this man literally played more complicated that portnoy did on the song
WE WANT THE DANCE OF LARS
Jajajajaja
Called,” the lance of ulrichity.”
Transcribe the whole thing into 4/4 and don't use anything else besides kick, snare, and high-hat.
@@fatuousmusic2822 Well... You're right 😂😂
OMG dude, that is friggin awesome. I could watch you all day
You are the man!! This song is so much fun.
Holy shit man! This song is so hard... congrats!
4:22 mission impossible))
Jajaja
3:50 THIS is very hard
You continue to blow me away with your playing! That is beyond epic! 🤘🤘🤘
This still the best dance of eternity drum cover on RUclips by far 👍🤝🤘
Good job. And I'm also very happy the comments section is filled with praise for this great music and playing instead of annoying requests for Avenged Sevenfold or Slipknot.
lol, portnoy was in avenged sevenfold.
he recorded nightmare.
Hey hey hey A7X is güd... not so sure about slipknot lmao
Panu Salin he recorded an album with them
So because you dont like A7X or SlipKnot that makes it bad music?
Still waiting for that Ashes of the Wake medley you promised us on the One Gun Drum Cover! ;)
Holy Jeebus! Mr . Portnoy couldn't do this better. Hats off and major respect!
Be sure to watch my next upload. Working on a medley of the album. In fact, watch my previous DT medleys. They're fun.
@@joshsteffen Holy Jeebus again. watched Scenes From A Medley and Mr. Portnoy's compliment at the beginning was something else. I can't find my hat anymore.
Holy shit the holy grail and you nailed all the time sigs perfectly! That was Godly.
Portnoy would be proud...sick shit dude
+RWH411 ;)
kkk, a linha ritmica dessa música é de derreter o cerebro. Bom cara, o que dizer?
Is very very good!!!
+Guilherme Daniel Da Silva Arruda Daniel thank you
Josh what do you think about Mangini?
never could get into dream theater by myself, but u hold my hand and it enters my brain :-)
Awesome! An eargasm for me. I like your style! Great! 👍😎
The 6 people who disliked this are insane
Great job dude, you deserve a better snare though. Everything else sounded awesome
+Sean Raden my shits sounding better now.
I wish I was coordinated enough to play drums. especially to be able to play like this. incredible man!
This is unbelievable, congratulations!
Why aren't you the damn drummer in Dream Theater?
But seriously, great cover! You should consider going professional, you could make it :)
Thanks
How do you go professional?
@@VictorCardena3 When Metallica hires him
Sorry to say nobody in 2016 and up will be a full time musician and earn a decent paycheck, only models are the ones who go to the radio, do you see primus, dream theater, or any good band on the radio, didn’t think so
Victor Cardena join a touring band with a label
Madre de dios
+Akilesh Menezes Un comentario en español! Vamos, carajo! :D
More of an English guy myself, but gracias anyways
Akilesh Menezes Dude... Boo...
+Akilesh Menezes Mas bien Padre de dios!!!!
Alex Viralata Iba a decir papito... pero no, no voy a descarrilar :)
Props man, that is not a typical song to play on the drums. Crazy ass time signatures, loved the fills you added. Great job...
Sounz like ccccrrrrap.
i ve been waiting for this song for a year.....u re so fuking brilliant!!! drums is life!!
Sounds like Castlevania... Oh good cover by the way.
I think it sounds like something I'd hear in Pokémon Gen 4 with the electric guitars, the epic bass, the synth and the piano. Mostly at parts such as 0:30 to 1:45 and 2:00 to 6:10. Actually most of the song sounds like Pokémon D/P/Pl OST.
I usually don't comment any videos but this song is fascinating me for a long time because it's very complex in many different ways and your cover is just amazing! You've become kind of a role model for me especially when it comes to power and joy while playing. I have two questions: How long did it take you to learn this song and which was the most difficult part?
Greets from Germany and sorry for kind of kissing your ass :D
3:50 to 4:20 is the hardest part for me.
I learned this song a long time ago. It probably took a week or two to memorize. However, I never used to play the first groove correct until this time, and still approach things differently in a few spots.
+Josh Steffen Speaking of that part, I started laughing uncontrollably when you finished it and then just glanced at the camera with your mouth open like "holy fuck, I did it!"
Aswome cover!!! You're one of the best drummers on RUclips. 💪😎
Congratulations for the 200K!! Nice cover
1:58: how to play dance of eternity
2:10: how to repair broken drums
A la mierda! 3:02
Josh, you nailed it ! One of the most complex songs in the music, and you dominated it with a incredible maestry. Just AMAZING !!
I like the way he's giving himself a self-reward by taking a look at the camera and like "I'm fine"
Джош ты крутой чувак!!!
1:30... the minute i realize i suck at drums..................
for me it is 3:02
For me it is 0:00
Haha. Funny how both of those are just basic drumming(triplets & a basic doublebass beat) and the most straightforward parts of the song. 1000x harder things going on here, that actually require real abilities.
Actually i don't find the song to be difficult at all, I learned it with some practice in a week or two whereas there are other dt songs that really give me a harder time such learning to live or the dark eternal night
The secret of the song is really counting and it comes out by itself, I didn't even need a tab, just got it by ear
MrNoxxis Well my rudiments aren't that great, so maybe that's just me.
Easily the most groovey cover of this song on the Internet. And I've prob seen all the popular ones. I love all the subtle nuances. You're truly an amazing talent, god bless!
Dude, this is seriously awesome. This song quite possibly test the limitation of every skill a drummer can possess, and you nailed it. This song is insane in means of technique and physical capacity. Keep it up!
how do you play mike portnoy so good
+Vito DiGiovanni through worship
better than lars 😂😂
man love the tone of your kit! great job
Got to say I'm loving this version way more than the original...The little things Josh added gave even more power!
+OniiSan Drums nice ;)
MELHOR QUE O AQUILES PRIESTER
hey man i think you should cover megadeths last album its really good
Wow that was incredible! Beat drummer on youtube by far! Not even close!!
Best**
I like this guy, nice covers bro, in my opinion the best channel covers of battery
Thanks
I feel like they had ideas then just compiled them
+Evan Hosley pretty much, yeah. I have a Portnoy vid and he says songs like this are series of sections put together
+Evan Hosley pretty much, yeah. I have a Portnoy vid and he says songs like this are series of sections put together
He looks like a crook but he talks alot with his skills. Wtf happened in this world.
What?
This is so impressive I'm beyond words
Your one of my favourite drummers of all time!
Awesome!
Brilliant Job Josh. I really liked the improvisations you made on some critical parts.
;)
dude , i think you just got me back into drumming , amazing videos , keep it up !
;)
I always thought you were really good and solid. But, this is on a whole other level. Very well done! Not every drummer (Even some professionals) could play this as well as you did here. Once again, Great job!!!!!
+Chris J thanks. I always say if you like this, you gotta check out the systematic chaos medley. Drum porn ear candy central.
The two hardest beats are the ones between hi hat and snare only. You nailed em
man you just keep getting better and better !! very good
🔥🔥🔥NO WORDS... just 🔥🔥🔥
thank you teacher, thanks to you slowly I can write this song, the video is very helpful. Good luck always
you are the best drumer in the world, im from Panama and i liked to play drums but you are awesome
Thanks
Nice job!
I listened to this CD endlessly when it first came out. Still one of my all time favorites.
That was completely totally awesome
that's some wicked dangerous drumming. spot on cover m8y
Yeah man!! You freaking rock!!!
From the first time I saw this video I'm watching it everday :) Flawless.
+Rajciak ;)
This drummer do the best drum cover on RUclips!!! Congratulations Josh
Maaaan and the beggining of the video you are already sweatting like its the 10th try to perform this cover, absolutely killed it!
Your face at 4:21 is a synonym of relief after series of fills there :D
Hey John... that awkward moment when people think you are just hitting random things, but then realise you have basically perfected DoE to a God level that most of us mere mortals will never ascend to :)
Its insane that you got that part from 3:49 to 4:21 perfect, well done man!
What an animal. Basically always perfectly on time, adding little things here and there. I appreciate this cover bro
You are a great drummer man! Keep rockin`!
Freaking awesome! How could anyone dislike this cover. Josh, you're amazing man!
super great ! excellent Josh !
Still come back to this often... truly amazing, Josh!
best cover on youtube by far. great job buddy
