Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity Drum Cover

Hey everyone! Here is my attempt at Dream Theater's epic -The Dance Of Eternity!
I do not own the rights to the music and this video is purely an homage to Dream Theatre and Mike Portnoy who is without doubt one of my greatest musical inspirations and heroes. Without Mike, I would not be a professional drummer today.
Huge thanks to the companies that I endorse -
SONOR Drums
Istanbul Agop Cymbals
Remo Drumheads
AheadSpinal Glide Thrones
ACD Unlimited Drum pedals
JH Audio In ear monitors

I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis... my drumming has been on the decline for the past 20 years. This gentleman is killing it!🤘🏻 I love the Darwin FTW pedals, Sonar drums, EVERYTHING! His ability is EPIC!

[@James-Chapman-Drums]

Hey Ricky, I’m very sorry to hear about your condition and how it’s affecting your drumming. Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Hheretic]

@@James-Chapman-Drums Thank you, extensively! 🤘🏻

My wife was diagnosed in 2018 with MS at 27 years old. She's played harp professionally since she was 4, so I empathize with you, sincerely. I am well aware everyone's MS experience is different, but I truly I hope you continue to find your "new normal" and continue to be inspired by others like James. I just found his channel looking for a review on the SDM70 microphone (sm57 knockoff) and his video blew me away. Such raw talent across multiple instruments (and let's not forget the editing mixing skills)! Stay strong and keep rockin on Ricky 🤘

[@Hheretic]

@@jonrimert2220 Extensively appreciated. Your kind words, thank you... I wish you & your wife, the absolute best.

[@James-Chapman-Drums]

Thanks!!

[@kjm1383]

I like your video! please create more and more! Good Luck!!

[@justhadrums]

dayum that's one nice snare! Is it like a modern shallower bell brass with copper and gold hardware? sooo nice

[@James-Chapman-Drums]

Not quite - this is the Sonor Artist brass model. I think they stopped making it now. It’s a 1mm 14x5 brass shell. The later model had 24k gold plated hardware. I’m not sure about this version as it’s a bit older. Sounds awesome though! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonwolf76]
