Barstool Warrior with Mike Portnoy drum style (Dream Theater)

dreamtheatercover.com 🥁 Dream Theater's Barstool Warrior performed by Paulinho Drums, from the Split-Screen Covers. Paulinho is the greatest Mike Portnoy fan I know and his playing shows it! Even when we play Mangini era songs with VRA there's that familiar ‪@MikePortnoyDT1‬ feel to them I particularly love! Amazing drummer and friend!
Our full band cover of Barstool Warrior has been out for a while, but I wanted to present Paulinho with this drum version of our video for X-Mas!
He has authorized me to upload it here on my channel as well to share it with you! Hope you like it! Happy holidays and let’s celebrate Mike Portnoy’s return to Dream Theater! We look forward to covering the new album, which I’m sure will be amazing!

Bet, portnoy will not play mangini era songs, who will agree

[@majorcohayco4590]

That’s the reason why Dream Theater got Portnoy back from the band. Portnoy’s drumming is singing with melodies and Mangini’s drumming is like a robot

[@semihboz3166]

Slightly exaggerated use of cymbals but the overall style is to the point. Good job and amazing mix guys.

[@sweetcaress711]

If the drummer could get more control on kick drum would be much more better than this , of course this version is very beautuful

[@TrondBrgeKrokli]

Excellent performance. I must have been out of touch with Dream Theater music for quite some time, I have not noticed before that the instrumental parts of this song has similarities with music made by Marillion (in particular the years before Fish went solo). Anyway, this performance is very much enjoyable on its own merits.

suuuper good cover, the vocal preformance is probably the best labrie cover ive heard

[@MrDanny2878]

This guy should've been the drummer to replace Portnoy when he left. He's amazing.

[@pedrorazor2205]

¿Bad Salad? 😮

[@carldavies2005]

I think DT have a replacement vocalist... just in case.

[@VHDT10]

Holy shit this is probably the best DT cover I've ever seen.

[@AtillaBuyukurvay]

The vocalist surely has his own voice but Labrie characteristics are there, too. His sound is very tight and bright. Superb cover!

[@nemanjade]

Great feeling listening to this.

[@DanielBobke]

Absolutely fucking awesome...amazing precision. Best DT covers on the Internet. 🤘

[@Trubaster]

this guy should probably sing in DT from now on...the whole band is ridiculously awesome od course :)

[@PabloSaavedra84]

That singer has some pipes!! 🤘

[@waynebaker2452]

Pretty good. I'm glad you left the spitting parts out!

[@pattmerion4379]

Omg... totally blown away... couldn't agree anymore with this being the best DT cover.. amazing musicians spot on!

[@massimilianodamato142]

[@clockmaker1]

Really, really good! 👏
