Drum Duet Mike Portnoy Terry Bozzio

[@MrDrummerguy94]

Set up crew: ok Mike, got any special equipment requests? Mike: yeah man, can i get another HHX custom crash please? Crew: sure thing man. Terry, any requests? Terry: yes. In the Peruvian jungle there is an ancient species of turtle that lives deep in the heart of the blackest forest. I need you to camp out for 2 weeks and wait for it to appear. Then you must kill it with a knife made of elephant bones. After that, hollow out the shell with water from the nile river. Once its dried on the peak of the Andes mountains, bring it to me on the summer solstice...

Two completely different set of skills, styles and drum setups complimenting each other beautifully, percussion that is music for my ears...

[@wiggy009]

Yeah I dont know why people keep trashing Mike they sound great together

[@fredyair1]

@Kal El What's your point? You dislike the Dream Theater music, that's ok, not everybody has good taste in music and I feel sorry for you, but coming here and say something so mean?

[@markuschelios6891]

@@fredyair1 I don't care for DT at all but I think Mike is fantastic in this. I love these collaborations between percussionists.

[@sebastiedjuan7468]

No. 2 total differents levels....read the comment below ti understand the evidence

[@cablemanagement1524]

jealousy and lack of the ability to read the room. Mike isn't the drummer that i turn to for inspiration, but his skills are undeniable. he plays the way he does because he wants to, and no one can change that. shit-talking any drummer or musician is pointless. sure it's fun to poke fun at different styles in a humorous way, but the people who comment negatively need to grow up or switch to sports where venomous hating seems to be the norm

[@Meerkoenig]

Love the drumming - hate most of the comments... why can‘t the fanclub of the less known yet very talented performer be as respectful as their hero himself? Those two outstanding drummers having fun together jamming are a great joy... thank you for sharing!

[@schizoak_4720]

A common theme with the "hate comments" is so and so is better than ... With these talented drummers/percussionists they have a mutual respect and admiration for each other and NEVER between them will you hear "Better than."

[@chrisk973]

Amen to that! Two great musicians putting their greatness on display. I agree: better than looking like a fool for armchair opinionated "better than" remarks, is to just move on to some other video; bcs this is clearly over your head.

[@CHABIEPORTNOY]

Mike: I have a monster Kit. Terry: Hold my elephant bones

[@wuckle]

Bozzio is trying to take this somewhere else....Mike is like 'What's wrong with The Stadium'.

[@MrMW2nd]

Bozzio is such a percussionist. So many different sounds at his disposal

[@llaneromemos]

I would love to see this swapping drum kits

[@maximummatt73]

That sounded dirty for some reason

[@hickshicks6132]

if you close your eyes and listen you wont give a fuck who's drumming. dig it

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

Okay,i closed my eyes. But every time Portnoy does a fill, especially that fuckin RLKKRLKKRLKK pattern, my eyes are opened by sheer anger. Im not digging this shite.

[@BigWesLawns]

To the keyboard critics: I have done drum kit duets several hundred times. There are 2 people and they each have a style. They meet somewhere in the middle. What they do with it depends on the day, how many times they have played together, and a bunch of personality shit has to be werked out. But no matter what you hope for its always what it is... Fun!!

[@beaumanikoth9142]

Very cool and creative drumming confined in a 7.39 minute set. Can't deny their talents...

[@chrisivy3486]

Mike is my favorite drummer of all time...hands down.. but even he will tell you Bozzio sits at the head of the drummer cool table. And anyone who doesn't agree doesn't know drums

[@xcodychaosx]

Or simply has a different opinion virgil donati blows both these guys out the water i do enjoy how bozzio more considers himself a percussionist than just a drummer and kinda under impressed by portnoy kinda overplays not really focusing on the mix

[@chrisk973]

ChronicInfluencedCody knows better. He must be an awesome drummer to sit in the judgement seat over these two masters... I saw Bozzio live w FZ = monster on drums- and he can read the notes. Incredible then and better now. Came across Portnoy later - love his playing. Love Donato's playing as well. Why can't we just appreciate good playing?

[@MrFchank]

Sorry. The Master,BUDDY RICH sits on that throne!!

[@MrFchank]

Virgil Donati blowing these two out of the water is totally delusional @@xcodychaosx

[@ProgSnob14]

Bozzio is self absorbed and often not very musical

Two different styles of drumming coming together to make some magic!

[@tamatrainee]

First time seeing this. Very rhythmic and easy to listen to. Two great drummers.

[@jonvia]

Saw Terry at Drum Daze in Columbus OH...I'll never forget him mid solo ushering in his drum tech to tune one of his toms to his liking lol...Shout out to Columbus Pro Percussion! Took lessons there for many years. They always brought the coolest drummers to Drum Daze!

Portnoy sounds great here, very musical and nice. But Bozzio... Oh Bozzio... Why did he cut his hair- LOL Bozzio has always been a favorite and an influence. His video on solo drumming very much influenced me back in 90 or 91! Saw him with Jeff Beck too!

[@ybadickseriously7505]

The difference in their techniques is huge, but work well together. Sure, Bozzio can play just about anything Portnoy can. But damn!! Bozzio's been doing this longer than Portnoys been able to walk. So let him cram in the triples and flaming bass drum riffs. The bottom line, i wish I could play half as good as either of them.

[@chrisk973]

[@KingKong-xp6so]

Dum*fkk.. Portnot is lot more technical than

[@alexhicks5889]

You couldn't be more wrong, Kong. Portnoy doesn't do anything here any average metal drummer can't do. Bozzio's technique is beyond next level.

[@andreasgottermann5162]

just luv it

[@aholder4471]

Would have loved to see Mike lay back a little bit like he did at the end. A bridge section of that lighter dynamic stuff would have complimented Terry's kit very well. At least that's what I kept waiting on and when I got it at the end, it was over....bummer.

[@nachingou]

amazing heavy drumming

This really good and me being from Long Island nice to see 2 homegrown guys getting down but, not half as good as Simon Phillips and Gavin Harrison.

It's called jamming , ugh it's what peeps do when the get together in a pict.....c what I did there....?

[@toddvandell85]

frank alfar I think I saw what you were trying to do there. :-) See if I'm on your wavelength... "Several Species of Small Furry Animals, Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict." Quite possibly one of the longest song titles ever. Old Pink Floyd...holds the record as the longest song ever...at least for them. Roger Waters' song from their double album Ummagumma. Roger generated all the noises and sounds in that bit of what he calls concrete poetry. (Picts were the early Scots.)

This is an amazing pairing of two supreme experts in their craft. The only way this could have been made better us if you threw in Thomas Lang, Mike Mangini, and Marco Minnemann, five different styles jamming out together would be a sight to see, and an eargasmic experience.

[@lastch.3752]

Both awesome drummers no doubt .my personal favorite is portnoy. but their drum sound levels don‘t match.either bozzio ‘s drums sound should have been increased or portnoy‘s drums sound should have been decreased then it would sound much better.

[@Michael_Michaels]

To be a fair match, Mike should have had his Siamese Monster kit.

[@TheZymbo]

Been drumming for 20 years. Portnoy is a great time keeper, but Bozzio still rules for improvisation.

Very interesting watching terry try to keep a style of playing going, and Mike walking all over it and turning a killer Latin thing into a rock thing. Mike needs to step back and learn sometimes, but don’t we all

[@jskypercussion]

Yes so true. A young bozzio of the 80's and early 90's would go balls to the wall speed metal with Portnoy, but Terry has grown and matured so deeply with just not drums, but all types of world percussion. Terry is like the metal shit, been there done that, what else can be done that hasn't.

[@chrisk973]

Nice comment. I've noticed TB is ever exploring n evolving; a true student of his craft. I don't know why he gets dissed so much on utub. I learned about Portnoy much later in life, but I like his drumming as well.
