One thing is to speak about Mike's ability as a drummer, but his musicianship, phrasing, good taste for music are ALSO simply phenomenal. He plays what the song needs: nothing less, nothing more. Just perfect.

[@petedog9581]

I agree with he plays "nothing more. nothing less" as his role in LTE, but not in Dream Theater. Early Dream Theater had so many unnecessary, pretentious fills, but I love that. I believe he has lost his arrogance, is more efficient, and become a master musician. He has learned less can be more.

[@MrNamePerson]

@@lukerogers151 Yes, I agree. 🤣🤣

[@periclesrocha]

@@petedog9581 agree. I guess when you're young and unknown you have to prove yourself to others, so ends up trying to show off. If you think about it, "early DT" (I&W, maybe?) is almost 30 years ago...

I believe Mike's cymbal work and phrasing is that little extra something that's been lacking in DT for this past decade. Don't get me wrong, MM is an awesome drummer, but the extra spice in Portnoy's sauce just brings our ear buds back home.

[@robertolopiccolo5575]

[@morejelloplease]

As a DT and MP fan since the 90's this is breath taking. that magic sauce that JP and MP have is priceless.

[@BadZodiac]

As is evident on JP’s Terminal Velocity album

[@Adrmeisterwerk]

DT can create a whole new modern DT with Mangini all they want, but the true sound of DT is actually JP and MP chemistry

[@morejelloplease]

@@Adrmeisterwerk exactly. I like mangini, he and marco were good choices at the time, but I haven't bought an album since silver linings. You can have pancakes, but without that Portnoy syrup they are bland lol. You know sales would spike if mike was on the album. Maybe not in my lifetime and maybe not worth the monetary frustration but the fans have spoken.

[@FullMetallBurst]

[@Totem3377]

I'm really happy that Mike decided to edit this showing the cuts where it was comped between takes instead of a one-shot playalong that gives the vibe that his entire performance was a single perfect take. This genre of music needs more of that vibe. We're all imperfect humans trying to create beautiful, challenging music, and it's okay to not be perfect all of the time, even for one of the greats.

[@BluesManSteele]

Id like to see it in one actual take and hear his imperfections and some mistakes. Makes it human as you say. The editing made it perfect. Not video wise but sound wise

[@TheRealYaro]

@@BluesManSteele Agreed.

[@elvancor]

One thing, though: It's not that much that he messes up, but that they're recording the stuff while writing it and it's hardly rehearsed. It's been their process for some time to move into the studio with nothing but ideas and leave with a finished album. These kinds of cuts have been in Portnoy's DVDs for decades because he works out what he wants to play as he goes.

[@chrisgreen248]

@@elvancor He even explains that on the DVD, he holds his fingers up to denote which take it is for his video editing guy. Cool to get an insight from the artist themselves. ✌🏻🤟🏻

[@ciscoak9074]

Perfect snare sound.

[@TUBBYMAXX]

Yeah !! Both of them !

[@edmartinsneto]

Do you know what it is?

[@MetalionMusic]

Probably his signature Tama Melody Master snares... a 14"x5.5" maple snare as the main and a 12"x5" steel for the side (if the scenes from my memory serve me correctly 🤦🏼‍♂️😅)... both with a three-position throw-off so he can set it to tight, loose, or open without changing the snare wire tension dial. And yeah, not just the snare sound, but the whole kit! One of the things I like about Mike's drumming (and there are many things I like about Mike's drumming) is the drum/cymbal tones he chooses... he always has such great sounding kits, where all the pieces sound so good, both separately and together.

[@Manerick]

Indeed

[@SoulPunch13]

Not overplayed, not abstract, something so complex yet so simple. Exactly what the song needs every god damn beat makes sense
