Your Portnoy covers are simply the best; crisp and accurate

[@AAXplosion]

Thanks! Well then you'll have a lot of fun the next weeks :D

[@sheppani]

You're a criminally underrated drummer on KZbin. You deserve more view's and recognition in my opinion. I've been subscribed for years and always look forward to your covers and material. Great production, and awesome playing as usual. You're covers are always very well rehearsed and accurate and you can tell, by how comfortable you look behind the kit. Always a pleasure to watch dude. Keep up the solid content. Always keen for more DT material :) Take care

just wow !!!! the best hells kitchen drum cover than i ever see ! ..

[@gastonpossel]

Dude, I was celebrating the return of Portnoy by looking for this song and I found this. You've captured the essence of this song perfectly (much better than MM). Excellent groove man!!

[@shadzy181991]

Descubrirte hace casi 8 años fue grandioso, el único youtuber que se apega casi en un 100% a las baterías de Mike portnoy y aparte como buen profesor se la enseñaste a miles de espectadores. Gracias Mathias!

lost count of how many comments i've made on your videos. but i still keep coming back! definitely the best sounding mix and kit in the drumcover space on youtube. would be great if you could do a video explaining your process and how you have such a killer sound from the kit & mix. cheers brother

[@AAXplosion]

Thanks man! I also thought about such a video showing my recording process.

[@Nintenke]

I've missed you! Awesome! =D

[@michaelschmitt180]

Bester Mann!

[@bleach132465798]

Great cover! I'm curious, why is there some foam around the snare microphone?

[@walterramos3250]

I miss your old performance of lion king cover. Where I can see that video? It was removed from youtube? The song is "He lives in you"

[@AAXplosion]

yes it was blocked by yt. :(

[@walterramos3250]

@@AAXplosion :( can you share in another platform?

[@luisrobles0309]

Hey Mathias, when you mix your drums with the song, do you leave the actual drums of the song and you lower the volume of the song or somehow you remove the actual drums? I use the first method for my covers, but I have to play the songs almost identical to the original. BTW, great cover man, keep on going.

[@AAXplosion]

basically I do this with EQ. But in the case of the new DT cover I use the drumless versions.

[@luisrobles0309]

@@AAXplosion omg, do they even exist? Haha. Thanks man.

[@catvmaps]

Needs more Symbols.... Nice Kit - Great Cover

[@bigsnacks2350]

How do you get the original drums out of the mix?

[@matheussanches6964]

The fills for this song are built upon hertas?

[@Styzer.]

how do you mix the song so the original drums are muted?

[@AAXplosion]

These are drumless tracks. Just search for it on youtube :)

[@Styzer.]

@@AAXplosion thank you :)

[@pmdci]

My favourite DT song. Something about Petrucci's guitar and Portnoy drumming that is so... cathartic. It is a total brainf*ck for me.

[@alienman6016]

Slower tempo..instrumentals done by other musicians? Seems though. Anyway good cover.

[@AAXplosion]

no. original tempo because original song without drums.

[@auriculus3058]
