How to Sound Like Mike Portnoy's "The Dance Of Eternity" | Without Busting the Bank

[@MrNicotra]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Mike Portnoy himself endorsed this? Check his Facebook page.

[@krioni86sa]

I think you sounded more like Mike Mangini because of the snare drum

[@djstringsmusic2994]

Manginis kit kind-of sounds terrible. Portnoys kit always sounded so nice a tight.

[@colinbentham6946]

The hardest part was to get the snare sounding like Portnoy's on the budget. Can't wait to do it by busting the bank!

[@thefigure13]

Portnoy Signature Hammered Steel Costs $800AUD. The Bubinga Costs $1099AUD

[@canaanlawrence7987]

Didn’t his snare on “Black Clouds and Silver Linings” sound similar to this?

[@untethered_]

It sounds like a bad version of BC&SL.

[@marcus_mayhem]

Mad respect for anyone that can pull that song off! I'm a huge fan!!!!😊❤

[@rostamostmann9657]

As a guitar player my wallet appreciates my choice of instrument

[@shooteroffuture]

Amir Hossein Ghasemi eh really false statement. I play both instruments and while I may buy some accessories for my drum set here and there, I don’t really change much about it ever. But I just can’t stop buying guitars

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@shooteroffuture I spent £1,800 on my Les Paul and that would be a REALLY nice drum kit.

[@MrJoeymagot]

@@DavidOakesMusic thats the price of a Nice dw kit wthout cymbals or hardware xD

[@lukekern7444]

Same. I'm also a guitar player but I only watch theese for fun. I know a little drumming, and the only time I use drums is at stores, or use my brothers kit. I was expecting their budget to be 1500. I guess I was wrong.

[@garystackhouse5787]

@@MrJoeymagot ....and that's the price of a Les Paul with no amp, pedals, or cables....

Holy. Shit. I never expected the entire song hahaha that's amazing!

[@colinbentham6946]

Thanks dude! I now can never listen to that song again haha

Not only a great video but AWESOME cover! As one of the few who have dared to walk the “Rite of Passage” of learning TDOE i think it sounds amazing!

[@BrandinooWOW]

Glad to see Dreams getting some love. Absolutely magical cymbals tbh

[@charliesmithdrummer]

That second bass drum should've been mounted as a gong drum...just because.

[@tabbyloaf3719]

The song at 21:27 was Paradigm Shift by Liquid Tension experiment

[@colinbentham6946]

Spot on Tabby!

[@The_Other_Ghost]

I was going to guess a slipknot one.

[@mitcholla]

first things first. You’re gonna need two hello kitty drum sets.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

I never listened to Dream Theater but I just realized that Between the Buried and Me got their inspiration from these guy's. For a second that's who I thought I was listening to. Great job bro

[@JonneDrums]

This was absolutely awesome! Love that the video was longer than normal. Collin you’re playing was phenomenal

[@colinbentham6946]

Thank you so much Jonne!!

Easiest way to sound like portnoy. RLKK RLKK or RLRLKK RLRLKK

[@nicolasfrossard4315]

I know!! Well after all, this is his style you know. I always said to myself that his solos are getting less and less original, that's all he does in them...

[@colinbentham6946]

He is a bit of a one trick pony but I wouldn't be where I am today with his influence 👍

[@TC-lk2ev]

@@colinbentham6946 Yeah for sure. He's still an absolute killer.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@colinbentham6946 I went to Dads once and he was listening to a CD id never heard before but I immediately recognised MPs 5 fills and assumed it was the Neal Morse album he was on. Hehe. Not sure if its a good or bad thing...

[@FanaticDrummer]

Ah yeaaaaa. Dont forget. Recording the snare is almost everything. Getting that engineered sound MP’s techs have developed with him over the years is rock perfection! So hard to simulate even if you’re trying to break the bank. But yea. No Tama kit? Now you have to do a break the bank version for fun lol.

[@renshammar]

The slightly crooked mount of the double pedal is distracting me from enjoying this too much ._.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Josh Eppard from Coheed. He's a fantastic drummer and his kit always sounds so so good

[@EYEBALLband]

Loved the sound of that Natal kick, the Zildjian stack was nice as well, gonna have to get one of those!

[@elliotjharris9908]

I love the ideas, it would be cool to see with and without a budget, see how much it changes between the kits

[@TwoandaHater]

They spend 900 putting 2 kits together, why not just get a 7 piece tama superstar classic for that (it is actually less than that here in the US).

[@jackdixon29jd]

They can only use what they have in stock (similar rules to the Guitar version)

[@Jakodrums]

the bliss sounds great, but the Natal doesn't quite convince me. For the cymbals I'd have chosen the XSR from Sabian, they are killer and probably the closest to the AAX.

[@thIDthIRreenactor]

I have xsr cymbols

[@ar_2347]

very bad sounds xsr cymbals sabian 😞 paiste better than sabian ! 😞

[@alexm9370]

Can y’all do by busting the bank🤩🤩

[@jestercabrieto6526]

Awesome job on dance of eternity,but you don't have the kick pedal on the little bass drum

[@brandonanderson2066]

Didn't know andertones had a KZbin drum department. Nice.

[@epidemicfoxx7295]

I would love for that set to be an actual shell pack that you can purchase all together.

[@gavinking4389]

Do a sound like The Rev!

[@thomasfrey5321]

I've never heard of bliss cymbals but they sound really good

[@matthewgonano636]

They are dream cymbals. The series is bliss

[@ivanbajovic3476]

Nobody comment drumming. It's almost perfect

[@danreid3190]

Best yet Colin, smashed it! 💪 That Hello Kitty kit performance was fantastic too 😂

[@colinbentham6946]

Thanks Dan! Hopefully we'll so more on the Kitty Kit in the future haha

[@kenpoels]

Nice video guys! Can you guys do a video Sound Like Gavin Harrison ?

[@kyleboggs1966]

very very very well done. That sounded really good together. I didn't expect it to all work. now, as someone else said, do a by busting with Portnoy

[@colinbentham6946]

We didn't either Bran! We'll definitely be back with Portnoy in the future!

[@maddin1268]

The mounting of the pedal is just funny :D In future I will also purchase a tiny little second BD instead of a Tomholder Tripod, makes more sense ;)

[@peaceandpocket]

Amazing playing! Rig sounds great (other than snare, imo..)

[@sledgewolf339]

funkymystic i agree the snare sounds like ass but everything else is great. Awesome drumming as well

[@widowmaker5544]

the snare was fine, idk what you're talking about

[@ChrisSheridan295]

His liquid tension experiment kit would have been a good reference and with a double pedal

What about sounding like Mike Mangini. Since we are on the topic of dream theater. Mike Mangini is amazing!

Really enjoyed that. Great play through of a great song!

[@alexm9370]

Please do a "Meet Ray Luzier" like you did with Chris Coleman, or at least sound like Ray Luzier

[@sir_andrew_of_squires]

Having only just seen this episode, and seeing how cool the 22" & 18" bass drums look together it got me thinking that doing an episode on Mike Mangini or Terry Bozzio would be interesting if you were up for it?

[@ChrisD606]

it bothers me how off-center the double bass pedal is

[@drumguy1384]

I can't say for sure because it was a long time ago, but I do seem to remember, either on a commentary track or some other interview thing, someone talking about John having plexi shields put around his stack to spare it from Mike's flying spittle. I also remember someone mentioning that they called him "the camel" because of his penchant for spitting on stage.

Great job man 😉🤘😊

[@fjoesnisse]

FLAWLESS PLAYTHROUGH!

[@osman_drummer]

Amazing playing as usual. Does Colin have his own channel or website? But, do you not attach the bass drum pedal in these videos to preserve stock? It sends my OCD into hyperdrive each time I see the pedal angles in this series.

[@colinbentham6946]

Hey Osman! Thanks for the kind comments. I don't do anything else on KZbin but you can follow me on Instagram @colindrummer! The bass drum pedal is actually attached but we generally use a cloth to preserve the hoop. I also kick outwards quite a bit when I play with my right foot so it can make it go a little bit wonky haha

[@gusbandicoot]

Aaaah excellent mate, well played. I was smiling throughout the performance. It's a really difficult song to play, and the slipping kick pedal was making me cringe.

[@Mat-ql8vf]

Damn you’re good.

[@DexNemesis]

Would really much like to see Sound Like Christoph Schneider - Rammstein. Would be rad!!

[@mike2tone]

Nice one Colon.

[@lmp9726]

Very cool! My only nit Is that the snare was mic'd a bit hot and drowned out the toms.

[@Doggepp]

Great vid! I would like to hear Sound like Brooks wackerman, but by busting the bank. His recent avenged sevenfold work is insane

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Didn't even know the channel existed! Sorry I'm so late!

Why didn't you use two Tama Imperialstars kits? Especially if your considering Pearl Roadshow or Export.

Paradigm Shift by Liquid Tension Experiment - The song played with the Hello Kitty Kit

[@liamfitzgerald7217]

I love the 'without busting the bank' videos because it helps the wallet.

[@Josephbentley]

why isnt your kick pedal clamped to the kick drum i would love an answer its just looks weird to play

[@tcarlberg]

My guess would be the pedal will often dent the hoop, and they still need to sell the kit after.

[@Evergladecro]

- UFFF sound not even close... but the drummer is great ;) Great work man!

Nope, Drafonforce never used a double kick pedal instead of 2 single kicks, they trigger their kicks :)
