Me explaining a new song idea to my drummer:

[@duxnihilo]

This has got to be one of the most randomly impressive things I've seen. I'm wondering if he had to practice switching the cards after learning the music.

[@RobBoyette]

Ye

[@theicedevil]

I bet his head was spinning after of that. Amazing!

[@johnathandavis1523]

my favorite part is the "b b b b, b b b b" hahaha!!

[@darenross4187]

Bro, i read this comment before i heard that part. Immediately recognizable at like 6:25 there. Perfectly described, well done 😂😂

[@FCValle]

at the begining I was like "dafuq?" but then I was like "WOOOAHH WHAT THE FUCK?!"

thanks to dream theater, not him xD is this beatbox? lol

[@playingforbritain]

9thmaggot You know what beatboxing is right? He's doing it pretty well

[@kthcsh]

yeah this whole thing still kinda weird. He did an amazing job at what he did. Just a weird fit for beatbox or this music

[@AndJamTracksForAll2014]

I saw Dream Theater last night in LA. Great show, but they played a clip from your video during the intermission, thats awesome, you got your video on tour with the band.

[@TripleMMM1231]

Wow! Really?!

[@XiyuYang]

I wonder if the band ever saw this.

[@Soulfly415]

Portnoy posted this on his facebook page once and said that this guy should've taken his place in Dream Theater :D

[@TheMunz]

During one of their set breaks a couple years ago they would have a montage of different fan videos, and this was part of it.

[@VMBFV]

@@TheMunz Yep, I saw it in their concert in Fortaleza, Brazil, 2014.

Whoa dude, you've just taken beatboxing to a whole new level of progressive. Great effort, keep it going!

[@justsomemusicguy]

4:37 - 5:05 that part is super hard and you just beatboxed it like a boss! That's awesome!!!

[@cryptonation2258]

Merrill Covers The guy has definitely at least played drums. You can tell he has the 'drummer ear' that allows you to break down what's actually going on

[@demianstohr2422]

@@cryptonation2258 well, I've never been a drummer, I'm actually a bassist, but knowing roughly what the times are every musican should be able to count what they are playing

[@ArcherWillows]

@@demianstohr2422 I think he's referring to the actual drum beat. As a drummer myself, picking out exactly what drum, cymbal, or technique used to produce a certain sound is something that just becomes easier the longer you play them. This man picked out not just the rhythm of the song, but the beats, tansisitons, cymbal crashes and chokes, and all the other tecnniques used in this god-complex song

Oh my god. This is great... The part at 3:03 is why this is my favorite song and I was so excited to see what you'd do. Didn't disappoint!

That snare-sound is really impressive, I initially pondered if perhaps you'd added a sample over top.

[@WinchurchGuitar]

I think I just had some kind of mental overload. Seriously. That was phenomenal.

[@Naturalvelocity]

Not only do you have amazing mouth stamina (is that even a thing?) But you never drag or rush, you're almost completely synchronized and it blows my mind considering the dynamic tempo, especially the fast rhythms! Additionally, the creativity just adds to the quality this video has. Great job man, I see you going places in your beat boxing career

[@DanaciousP]

Sir, this is most excellent! Please do this with more Dream Theater tunes! Also, if you happen to read this, I'd be interested in knowing in how long this took you to do.

[@RobBoyette]

Danny Pinsent I knew the song very well after a couple years of casually listening to it. Then I practiced this performance for a few days (maybe 3 or 4) then it took me a couple hours to get everything right.
