Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity [Drum Cover] *with time signatures*

[@thewonderfulMRnoob]

Damn man, that superior drummer patch is amazing, the only weak link I'd consider is the kick.

[@ephraimvorzman9786]

The time signatures really help. This is the only cover I’ve seen of this song with the time signatures listed.

[@パイピーナット]

There is one other

[@vdrummer4]

Gregory Santone That's right: The TD-12 only has 2 AUX inputs. I'm using a second TD-12 module which I connected to my first one via MIDI.

[@federicosarti5283]

Sei un grande drummer. Complimenti!! Bravissimo. Grazie per aver fatto rivivere l'emozione DT

[@danielstatler1952]

Very, very good cover of one of the all time tough songs to play. Big props! 👍

[@Bryanpeacock33]

I like the custom kit bro you really made an e drum kits look like an acoustic kit...great job bro

[@Bluesinho]

I can close my eyes and still listening an acoustic drum. OMG

[@sebastarrk5523]

KZbin knows me better than myself, I was looking for this all the time

[@jeffdomanski3257]

Excellent job! I like how you integrated 2 kits. I'm working on adding to my TD8

[@victorherrero4790]

Great performance. Without a doubt is one of the hardest songs to play ( on any instrument).

[@mschmidt163]

nicely done, both the playing and the time signature transcription. very helpful, thanks!

[@skipernipper7773]

GOOD JOB MY DUDE 🤘🏻 YOU SHALL DANCE THE DANCE OF ETERNITY

[@DCSspitfire]

You're hired!

[@bystander85]

I thought TD-12 only had 2 auxiliary inputs? How did you add so many pads?

[@fishysquidman5689]

Ok, so I may be 4 years late, but he's using 2 drum modules.

[@MegaShaheen007]

bruh

[@FlyingStickDrummer]

FishySquidMan then how the heck would he use superior drummer on both he’d need two laptops

[@vdrummer4]

My original reply to this comment somehow isn't linked to it, so let me explain it again. I'm using 2 TD-12 modules. Let's call them A and B. B's MIDI out goes into A's MIDI in. A is set to just pass MIDI signals it receives to its MIDI out without triggering sounds. A's MIDI out is connected to my audio interface which is connected to my laptop. This way I can use 2 modules with one laptop and one instance of Superior Drummer.

[@jesuschrist2886]

that was exceptionally excellent. well done.

[@darint07]

Strong work!

[@harrybullocks353]

1:47 the time signature is actually 11/4 not 4/4 4/4 3/4. It sounds the same to the ear but that's how its actually written.

[@gehtdichnixan8947]

Isn't it just another Way to Write it

[@metalfilms6660]

It's actually not 11/4. It's 5/4 followed by 6/4

[@RandomDays906]

Gehtdich Nixan It'd usually mean 3 accented notes rather than 1 every 11 notes.

[@knapton118]

Same thing

[@user-uu4tr7kf1z]

Guys, it’s actually just 11 bars of 1/4 duh?

[@Jay902017]

That Was Amazing . Save that for your 70 year old Self . Just Wonderful Drumming

[@graviron]

Great cover and thnak you for adding those time sigs. Btw, I’m new to electric drum kits. How do you connect more than 1 kit?

[@vdrummer4]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm using 2 TD12 modules which are connected via MIDI

[@oldmanchudley2082]

Great job 👏👍👍🤘🤘🤘

[@ahmetyuce9820]

What is the difference between memorizing whole 140 time changes than memorizing the whole song?

[@djevon4853]

If you memorize the song by ear, you know what your playing but not how it relates to your actual time pulse. If you learned the song from drum tab or sheet music, you would understand where you are based on pulse alone, thus making your timing and ability to improvise better.

[@silvermaiden1231]

sweet drum sounds!! What VST or plug in are you using for this??

[@silvermaiden1231]

ps. I did a quick cover of this tune a couple of days ago just in case you wanna check it out. It would mean a lot

[@Neesager]

We like what you got, good job!

[@aliceinchains7325]

Great job dude

[@SergioWW1WW2]

dude!!! great videos man!!! would you tell me what drum set are you using?? I need a full kit like yours and I can't find them on internet :/ keep the good playing!!!

[@9_H0ur]

this is one of the closest covers ive seen to the actual recording.

[@bankamo]

Great Cover !!!! This is very hard song to play it .You Rock man .

[@nesguillen]

Why this video has so low likes, this video must have hundred of thousands of views and likes.

[@Phil81.]

A cover song is good when is on time but with something yours add to it! I fucken love your performance, i play an eletronic drums as well and sounds very good covering for Mike in a studio session 20 years ago😉!🥁🥁🥁💪💪👍👍🥁🥁🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ElRana02]

Perfecto!

[@090nj2]

WOAH❤️🙆🏿‍♂️🙇🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🙇🏿‍♂️

[@simplemancomplexworld1991]

I like the tasty little embellishment @ 3:13 during the four-on-the-floor section. Niiiiice.

[@vdrummer4]

Thanks. I appreciate that such little details don't go unnoticed :)

[@JAStudiosDankestManLiv]

I don't even like Dream Theater but that was impressive.

[@Sycsa]

Great playing, great sound! Do you know where can I find the drumless version of this track, or any other DT track?

[@NGBigfield]

Brilliant!

[@MiguelMorales85]

Impressive

[@maginaflame6621]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@yuanping6170]

What's this electronic drum set?

[@vdrummer4]

It's a Roland TD 12 with 2 modules (connected via MIDI) and additional pads. Sounds are from Superior Drummer

[@ZeludeRose]

Fucking beautiful, man

[@brunofelixmusic]

Good work!

[@swoaloma5947]

what kit is that?????

[@SunkaiFoxStudios]

It says in the description

[@levig384]

For the beginning on time signatures i usually just do 4/4 7/8 4/4 5/8

[@kenhimurabr]

Wrong time signatures. The groups are longer.

[@arunhashmi396]

he still did a good job though

[@anthonyhale2912]

If you were to count it that way it would still work so he wasnt wrong. Just different

[@amabeeer2]

The numbers, Mason! What do they mean??

[@andrewpark1096]

they are the time signature.

[@m.moonsie]

What is the song at the end? o.O

[@vdrummer4]

Mark Lorence Munsayac It's called "One Last Time" and it's the song after "Dance of Eternity" on the album (Scenes from a Memory).

[@RinaldoJonathan]

I'm one year late. :( but almost every song in this album can be heard without any gap, sounding like one song.

[@fagyu7502]

Rinaldo Jonathan coz it is, it's some super progressive kind of rock Opera

[@fagyu7502]

Lol I m one year late

[@FlyingStickDrummer]

Isn’t 8/8 = 4/4 ?

[@WackVusz]

2x faster

[@FlyingStickDrummer]

@@WackVusz why tho, yeah, 8th notes are two times faster than quarter, but the time signature itself, can’t I play four quarter notes and still claim that this is 8/8 or 16/16?

[@WackVusz]

@@FlyingStickDrummer i think it depends on the bpm, with 60 bmp, one beat per minute, you play one note every second in 4/4 and two every second in a 8/8

[@WackVusz]

but im no musician

[@EnriqueCruz-zs4zq]

I feel rhey composed this by feel, not thinking in time signatures

[@strawbale]

this isn’t your typical band, they definitely did think about time signatures and they 100% acknowledge them all the time

[@EnriqueCruz-zs4zq]

@@strawbale i really dont believe it

[@EnriqueCruz-zs4zq]

@@strawbale in the beggining you get ideas jam them tryna smash them ideas together then the day to record comes so you need to seat down and write everything so you can record it perfectly

[@strawbale]

@@EnriqueCruz-zs4zq do you know much about dream theater?

[@masterdrummer97]

Junge wie viele Taktwechsel sind in dem Stück insgesamt dinnen????100???xD Max, du spielst echt verdammt gut...

[@metalfilms6660]

108 um genau zu sein

[@L3VIATHAN1987]

17/16 😂😂😂😂

[@kjl3080]

lmfao portnoy's kit on edrums

[@manteuro]

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THE DRUMMERS OUT THERE THAT TIME SIGNATURE DOES NOT DETERMINE BEAT IT SIMPLY PROVIDES A MECHANISM FOR ORGANIZING IT VISUALLY!?!? I am going to burst a blood vessel in my forehead if these guys keep trying to school me on this shit

[@gh8735]

+Manteuro Yeah it definitely does. A basic 4/4 beat would sound like shit in 7/8.

[@chopsuey--]

Go and take some lessons bro. They wouldn't build a whole new genre around odd time signatures if they didn't effect the beat and the music.

[@manteuro]

+Suresh Gaur fucking drummers these days, go to college and learn how to read or understand music. time signature is a system that helps the reader understand the music. if you were taught differently then change your teacher because of his lack of knowledge on the subject.

[@chopsuey--]

Manteuro Sure buddy thanks for your advice. I mean every other drummer, musician or music teacher is wrong and you're right.

[@manteuro]

why the fuck do you have to be sarcastic, I was born around music teachers. both of my parents teach music for a living, and play music for a living.

[@piotrcienciala2418]

Great playing! But i feel this song is totally overrated - surely, very technical, but from the composition point of view this is a total garbage. Just a random opinion.
