DREAM THEATER - Instrumedley - Drum Cover

[@tH3GoDh4cKeR]

The most respectable thing about you is that you record with one camera and if you make a mistake you have to take it from the start all over again... so that means that mistakes are rare for you! Keep up the good work. One day you will have the subscribers you deserve.! Cheers from Greece!

[@joshsteffen]

+Rijo RagH thanks. Watch the systematic chaos medley.

[@cavegoat24]

I think for the amount of insane content you got in this session, any mistakes are forgiven. You absolutely killed it!

[@joshsteffen]

Mike had some mistakes as well. Didn't make me feel so bad.

[@ARDrummer]

Great job! Very nice drumming...that is alot of parts to remember :)

[@kaiul2967]

Just memorizing this stuff is a feat in itself! 🤯

[@JonathanGomez-iw7rz]

Awesome cover I've seen others and it is hard but yours is by far the best great sound quality and everything keep going bro!!!

[@larryjimenez9140]

Excellent execution....unReal.....

[@DeltaKT]

Josh, is there ANY way that you could upload the isolated drums only video for this one? I've been craving for it since a year or two, please! Haha

[@luccazappalajurado6478]

Awesome drummer! Josh Steffen

[@TheVermifuge]

By far the best cover I've seen of any instrument on KZbin to date. Super impressive! Down to the tuning of the toms and cymbal work, flawless. Props dude! \m/

[@joshsteffen]

+Instrumedley ;)

[@JourneysByJay]

Damn... I think I'm just gonna hang up my sticks right now. Not sure I've ever seen you sweat so much. Helluva workout there! Amazing work, man!

[@glaucoloveJesus]

Fantastic!!!!!!! Monster drummer

[@mariano1987]

[@ZetroDrummer]

Congratulations my friend, you nailed it as always, Instrumedley is a hard one, I had a fucking aneurysm trying to play Dance of eternity on some pillows.

[@blackbird1119]

I'm still playing on my damn pillows since '00

[@Erosennin71]

Incredible!!!!

[@roshansenewiratne5504]

Unbelievable!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🥁🥁🥁

[@hoompaloompaa]

This dude deserves a million subscribers

[@gabratte9858]

Awesome as always. Cheers!

[@sk8t3boardplanet101]

I have so much respect for this guy! The time singnatures change, song change, not to mention the actual drum parts! How? Ughhh

[@joshsteffen]

+ricke daillard Thanks. I've never made it through without a mistake. Very tough.

[@DieCryMan]

Have you tried Honor Thy Father? That's a nice one with drums :)

[@Stev0BabaGhanoush]

Fucking NAILED IT. I drum this on my steering wheel, but I'd never dare actually attempt it. Great job, dude.

[@NarRageChris]

Killed it man! Mad respect!🤘

[@aarondillon5986]

I was waiting and waiting for the part where Portnoy used to spin his cymbals just HOPING and WISHING that you would do it...AND YOU DID!!! Mad props bro!!!

[@joshsteffen]

+Aaron Dillon ;)

[@aarondillon5986]

Okay. So I only recently discovered your channel and I love your stuff man and I love your down to earth attitude! I literally JUST watched your video about the guy who got offended because your reply to his comment was just the " ;) " wink face. I just want to make this known. I have left comments on LOTS of youtube drummers videos, but had NEVER EVEN ONCE got a reply from the drummer themselves. Honestly, when I got the notification and saw that YOU had ACTUALLY responded I was OVER THE MOON! I ran to my girlfriend and was like "BABE HE ACTUALLY READ MY COMMENT!!" I know that sounds ridiculous, but I fanboy-ed like crazy! haha! Anyway my point is that even though its just a wink it means so much more than that. It means you take the time to read what your viewers have to say and you are actually humble about what you do! I just really felt the need to say all this. You need to know that it totally blew my mind that you actually read my comment and responded. So Thank You Josh!!!

[@jatuktuk4101]

sos una bestia!! congratulation!!

[@damionbean3061]

Man this is a testament to how good you really are. Studio portnoy is hard to cover.... But live at the budahkan....... Very solid bro much props

[@asrids]

that was entertaining! so hyped watching! thanks for this

[@parallelparkdaudette2863]

Holy shit. It would take me 2 years just to get down the first chorus.. You my man came out the womb holding some Vics haha

[@joshsteffen]

For some reason this one seems to be the hardest. It's hard to follow because of it being live.

[@parallelparkdaudette2863]

It's just too much to remember. To know it all by heart is crazy enough. Good job man, you need more views

[@Jonas4747]

wow!! not bad at all!! great Sound wiht that 20" Bass Drum. Keep it up man, im wathing every single Video you upload! and two vids in one day super awesome!!

[@joshsteffen]

[@rihirdo]

[@mafren7424]

[@Battledwor]

all great but at 7:45, this passage is really gorgeous!!!

[@MechMonstrosity]

It's nice listening to it without the couple of little mistakes portnoy did during the show! Each and every video you upload Josh reminds me that you so earned my subscribe (and everyone else's I'm sure). You're a freaking amazing drummer man keep up the good work!

[@joshsteffen]

+MechMonstrosity ;) coming is an update of Erotomania and Overture 1928/Strange Deja Vu

[@MechMonstrosity]

Ohhh I can't wait to check those out... I remember you nailed Erotomania the last time that I had it on repeat for a while! Cheers mate! :D

[@v_georgiev]

[@AndreVanZark]

O.O you are a beast of a drummer 0.0

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks. Watch the systematic chaos medley. I still think that one tops any dream theater covers I've done.

[@AndreVanZark]

+Josh Steffen sure will do ^\\^

[@Joey922009]

Really Cool,great job man!!!

[@IFGchannel931]

This video reminded me that's been quite a while since the last time I annoyingly requested more Symphony X covers, so here I go! Cover some Symphony X please!!!!

[@cameronalex2723]

surprised u not done any machine head , their drummer is pretty underrated imo, dope vid :)

[@Black6870]

Perfect Cover :) why am I not surprised about it?

[@TheDefeatest]

Its a better day now that you've uploaded this. :)

[@Etherman11]

Wow! I'll take lessons from you anyday!

[@lukee_v]

wow...just wow...

[@lukee_v]

i wrote that before i even watch this video, and youtube crashed halfway the vid

[@forestside4008]

You are my hero Josh

[@JuanPabloContrerasC]

droping the drum sticks like a boss!

[@bwunomaws12]

your snare sounds really good man

[@rafaeladolfo908]

This is amazing! perfect drumming!

[@parallelparkdaudette2863]

Show us Enigma Machine!

[@joshsteffen]

I have a decent sized dream theater playlist. Haven't followed much since Mike left. It was his playing that forced me to endure James Labrie. From what I've heard, he's effeminate as ever.

[@parallelparkdaudette2863]

Josh Steffen Isn't Mike Mangini the new drummer? He sounds incredible, take a look at the self-titled dream theater album. It was my 2nd fav album out of all

[@kalpkumudkumar8163]

+Josh Steffen josh you are amazing !!!! love from india !!!

[@ivoeder2393]

James Labrie is the singer

[@Rodrigo-bv7uv]

@@parallelparkdaudette2863 Mangini plays in a very different way. His weird drumkit setting allows him to open another realm of the instrument. Not to say about his speed... I think Josh is capable, though it hardly wouldn't sound exact because of the kit setting.

[@paulgleeson2632]

Incredible stuff josh, my jaw has dropped

[@PeteSolar]

first video of yours I've seen, and I'm impressed, what a great video! You're playing is awesome!

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks! Have a look around. I have playlists in the description

[@PeteSolar]

+Josh Steffen just having a gander now :) was at the London show last night, going back again tonight so in a bit of a DT mood right now! I'd love to see someone of your skill set tackle honour thy father

[@DrummerJulian]

great stuff

[@cHubbyl81]

Fuckin props to you man, such a masterpiece deserves many more views

[@alviachdiyat8628]

awesome set bro 😍 love the low tunes of that drum,your playing style also really good btw 🙌🏽 keep it up

[@Kamil144ful]

Daaaamn, man! You rock! That's awesome. Great job!

[@jacobblevins7286]

You do an awesome job man I've been watching your videos and tried to learn some of the stuff you do. You have great technique and break things down so people can understand them. Keep up the videos man I really enjoy them and just a suggestion is you should check out parkway drive Ben Gordon does a lot of good drum work in the horizons and deep blue albums. Check out sleepwalker and his double bass action and fills. I'm sure it's nothing to a man of your skills but I've been struggling. Anyways man thanks for the videos and telling it like it is you do a great job and I hope one day I can build up to your skill set.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks dude

[@Narlithstern]

brilliant

[@alainvmusic]

Good job, that is a difficult one

[@zeeeeeman]

Would love to hear The Great Debate. I have been replacing your "Kind Of" Metallica covers on Spotify. Can't go back to the originals.

[@vaidehijoshi9158]

Please do a cover of the count of tuscany. ...great work

[@eduardoassis9622]

great fucking cover man, you're amazing drummer

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

You wrote the excuse so that the two who gave the thumbs down would feel justified right? Killer as always!!

[@dakotao.688]

Great cover man (;

[@DMIGRAY]

parabens muito bom!!

[@CodzDrumz54]

You should do a cover of coffin by black veil brides. It's an awesome song with an awesome drum part. Very fun song

[@Mr_Gray_Sky]

Mate, this is fkn great. If I did any first cover with this level of accuracy I'd upload with pride. On tech note, I greatly appreciate that you use a real miked bass drum. That ezdrummer sound on all metal records is starting to get on my nerves.

[@joshsteffen]

Yup, no samples here. ;)

[@jhonatancalloapaza5397]

man you are fucking amazing!!! is great to see you lml

[@ZambrKC06]

this is an awesome job dude! really like the way you play da drums with a lot of fun! Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands and I know is hard to replicate Mike Portnoy virtuosity #HellYeah #Monterrrey #Mexico lml

[@DavidMccallister65]

Every DT song sounds like 43 songs wrapped into one 🤘😅

[@AugieDrummer96]

Nice job, Josh. Can you cover any Rush songs?

[@OvExX]

im loving the drumming (damn man, all in one shot, youre amazing) and the kit... not so much the mix, but thats a matter of taste, right?

[@enricorossi9384]

I'm trying to learn drums; your videos helps me a lot. Thank you very much. Being your fan I have some inputs for you: 1)I propose you to play Dave Lombardo''s "Angel of Death" live version from The Live Download Festval 06.12.2005. I love that version so much, hope you agree :-) 2)Since you can play Portnoy very well (I can't play 2 notes in a row from DT songs...) If a day you have some time, it would be wonderful if you try something of Marco Minnemann. He is very very technical player but he is also very fluid. A lot of people prefer him to Mangini. For example you can try something of "The Aristocrats" (songs Stupid 7 or Desert Tornado or Bad Asteroid) or something of Marco's last album "Above the Roses". These songs are more rock progressive with some Frank Zappa elements, they are not metal, but very interesting. But, however if you like to play only metal there is also "Life of Dante" album where Minnemann plays both progressive metal and thrash/death metal. It's a very hard "punch in the face" but amazing technical album. An underrated gem. If you like Portnoy and Lombardo you will find both of them mixed together there. 3)I think that if you like Portnoy/Mangini you would like YYZ by RUSH. The drummer is Neil Peart. Portnoy said "Peart was my god". Is it enough to say? It's not metal, but you should give a try, maybe you like it. Have a nice day Josh. You are a very talented person.

[@14jopo14]

Awesome! Even spin the cymbals like Portnoy :D

[@NavarroSkyrim]

Omg that is just GREAT! Mike Portnoy here guys! Jst kidding, great cover man!
