    I did this song for my final exam project. That's why the time signatures are in the video.

    Again... I couldn't be more proud to mix your drums when you play "live"!
    But this? Dream Theater?
    It's one of the few bands (and drummers) that "do it right!"
    and you, my friend, "nailed it" again!

    This is the best cover of this song I've ever seen. Not only did you play it all correctly, you actually understood it to the point that you could say all the time sigs. Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.

    Rack toms have 2 inner plies of African mahogany with 4 outer plies of maple (6-ply). Floor toms have 4 inner plies of African mahogany with 4 outer plies of maple (8-ply). Bass drum has 6 inner plies of African mahogany with 4 outer plies of maple (10-ply).

    You are amazing Mike! Great playing. I'm a guitarist, so I can't critique too closely, but your groove and accuracy are amazing. I particularly liked seeing the time changes in the video, because I hadn't realised just how frequent they are in this piece!

  • @mikehetzel
    @mikehetzel  12 лет назад

    I think you're referring to the "Grunge Metal I" section? I think what happens is the tempo slows down a hair in the 4/8 bars and I'm playing 16th note triplets in groups of 4 with the phrase starting on the 1 and the 3 of each measure. Hope this helps!

  • @comaband76

    Yes, that part is incorrect. It's actually 4 bars of 9/16 followed by a bar of 2/8.

  • @mikehetzel
    @mikehetzel  12 лет назад

    Sorry, but it would take a really really really long time for me to transcribe the full drum part. I know you can find tabs of the drum part online. When learning a song like this, it's best to break it down into sections and slowly work through it. When I learned this song, I tried to focus on the melody, not so much the time signatures. I would recommend listening to the song until you get to the point of being able to sing most of it in your head, then start working on the drumming.
