I absolutely love that Jose is still with you after all these years and bands. Great vid!

[@drumboarder1]

He'd be an idiot to give up consistent easy money

[@MultiEchelon]

yah, hes a MAN

[@offtourho]

@@drumboarder1 tell that to all the other bands I’ve worked for this year alone…. Joe Satriani, Mr. Big, Sammy Hagar, Jim Irsay Band…..”Easy Money?” Whatever Dude.

[@drumboarder1]

@@offtourho as far as roadie/drum tech jobs go, working with very established bands is definitely easier. Brands bend over backwards to supply new gear pretty regularly, that's easier than having to work with old broken shit 90% the time and the same goes for most venues really wanting to accommodate the big acts, as long as the logistics were properly organised in time I wasn't saying it's an easy job in general but by comparison? Cmon man

[@zunify2032]

[@Masterlessmusic]

So happy to hear you're back in DT! Amazing news. I presume you're nicely recharged from your time away and now we can expect some exceptional DT music and stage production etc. Welcome home Mike!

[@fr0ost103]

I'm so happy that you're back in your home!!! I can't wait to see you and all of DT again here in Chile with the new album, i saw DT here in 2022. Thanks for the inspiration to become a drummer, because of you i now have like 7 years playing the drums and your songs!

[@DaveCrimsonThrone]

Well that was just absolutely bloody lovely. God I love this band. Please post more vids Mike!

[@yuualex0812]

You are not only my drum hero, but also the best drummer in the world who always gives me inspiration!🫶

[@wilkinsnl]

I miss you man. You need to post more often. Definitely one of my musical heroes in more aspects than just playing drums.

[@quake1792]

As exciting as it is to have you back in DT, please keep doing this as well. Winery Dogs KICK ASS!!!

[@1976oswald]

I love the way how all the cymbals sound !!!! Awesome !!!

[@Snedd99]

This performance just cements for me why Mike is, and has always been my drumming idol. Phenomenal stuff!

[@USMCSDI]

Same…. Give Gavin Harrison a listen. He’s a prog rock drumming machine too

[@kristinewilson5353]

Dude I fkn love Gavin harrison

[@USMCSDI]

@@kristinewilson5353 he’s my favorite drummer without a doubt! Met him in Tampa outside the hotel I stayed in with him. He’s a kind, humble man

[@MrMagellan59]

Welcome back to DT Mike! There's no place like home!

[@ThiagoCamposOfficial]

I love The Winery Dogs and LOVE MP back in DT!! Couldn’t be happier!

[@CheloWiiU]

Amazing, Mike! Please, post more of these videos more often. Maybe an In-Ear mix would be cool too!

[@Arutha_Con_Doin]

Thank you Mr. Portnoy to always giving me a reason to go and practice more ;)

[@MaevisNoir]

I feel home again! Thanks 🎉

[@H-4-D3423]

Mike, just heard the news about your return - it was so gutting to lose you for that time. What an awesome job Mike did in your absence - but it's great you are coming home. All the best, an awesome early Christmas present ;)

[@sperreild]

I'm so happy you're back with DT! I'm sure your journey will inspire exciting new material for the band. I hoped for more Sons of Apollo (saw you in Drammen) ... but perhaps there is room for that too

[@Charles.Wright]

whaaaaaaaaaaat

[@andrewlyan]

Welcome back home Mike can't wait new albums ❤

[@Alexxxeyko]

Not to take anything from Richie and Billy, but you stole the show for me yesterday :) Thank you so much for sharing your love for music with us! Love you guys, it was amazing!

[@Ilikewhiskey2112]

Not to brag, but I’ve been lucky enough to Mike over 20 times and he has stolen EVERY show!

[@FadjarMoeljarto]

Awesome..like it 🥁🔥

[@Battledwor]

Mike, you crack me up! I absolutely love your style!!!

[@Suddsy.]

He said in an interview that Lars Ulrich was a huge influence on him for being a up in your face character behind the drums. Not just to sit there banging away but jumping up and interacting with the crowd

[@dzlfiqar]

Thank you for going back to DT mike!!! I always feels hopeless when I can only enjoy DT song up to Black clouds! Now I hope you can give back the feel of the theater to DT and also bring some new taste from you 12 years experience playing with other band.

[@metalmax78]

Mike Portnoy returns to DT...Hellyeah🤘🏻🥁...working on their 16th studio album...can't wait!

[@joelwaggoner3779]

The vocal's voice sounds so much like Chris Cornell!! Also, mike's really feeling the energy and I like the part when he did the air drum crossover thing!! So sick!!

[@DavidJames-rz9lt]

I think you will find that Chris Cornell sounded like Richie

[@MandalaOfThe7]

I thought for a second I was hearing Russell Allen from the late 90s. Who is singing?

[@MrJB2183]

Great Mike!!!🤘🤘

[@drumsfordaves3143]

2:13 is too perfect

[@thegr8kacpi]

i laughed like an idiot in the audience when he pulled this off

[@tisbelune8217]

Mike sei sempre il mio preferito!

[@roberthagmaier9603]

Those max stax cymbals are awesome.I want to get one of them for my kit.I love that set up he plays to with the 2 Octobans instead of the 8" 10" toms that's such a cool idea.

[@jakkreeful]

Glad you're back.

Finally.....i miss your playing drum so much...

[@abraaomedeiros9500]

Mike is back! This is so pretty good man. Uhuuuuu

[@danlc95]

Smooth as silk! Im a huge Mangini fan, and will REALLY miss him in DT. But... I was in his shoes back in 2014 when Detroit prog metal super heroes Imminent Sonic Destruction's iconic drummer, Pat DeLeon (also worked with prog mavens Tiles) vacated his throne. I was in five or so bands - one of which (Bloodline Riot, now The Lion Within) was VERY busy recording and doing a lot of show. There were also two cover bands and another two original bands. I also has just bought a car wash with the brushes and everything. I also had a full time job! I just didnt have the time to make it happen. Our first gig was supposed to be on the same day I was in the studio with Bloodline. I asked if they could get Pat to fill in. He agreed, and after that I just stepped down. They always thanked me for "keeping the throne warm", but realistically I was horrible. They had auditions with several great drummers from the area. Dave Taylor should have gotten it. I'll never know why they picked me... So... With that being said, I'm really happy for the Portnoy fans that wanted to see him return to HIS band. As a founding member of my band from high school, I'd feel great returning to my band. Thankfully, I've been our drummer since 1992 - the first year I hears Mike Portnoy with Dream Theater. I was 15 going on 16. They captured my imagination and interest. Mike Portnoy became a bonafide legend once the masses heard Pull Me Under. Mainstream rock music would have probably gone more in the prog direction had it not been for the grunge movement. Regardless, I'm very interested to hear what Mike does back in his chair. I would imagine it will be his finest performance since Awake. He may have a cross between the joy and elation of being home, and a little bit of hunger following one of music's true "super drummers", Mike Mangini. All I know for sure is that it will be something to see! All the best, Mr. Portnoy. Welcome home. 🙏

[@nyla3979]

Welcome back Mike!!!

[@powderedmilk65]

@drumbeats if you like your DT and want to see how he has inspired two teenagers in their first performance. Thank you Mike Portnoy! Me and my son will see you on tour in the Autumn 2024

[@dreamtheater6556]

From now on I will listen to DT more often, because DT's life has returned....

For me 1995-2005 the best drummer it the world,major infuence for thousands of drummers..still got it

[@Psychofrog395]

👏👏👏🤘🤘

[@liveheavyshows]

Perhaps the best sounding cymbals on earth, they sound so incredible that you can hardly hear the kick drum and snare drum.

[@typhoon-7]

That's probably more to do with the mic picking this up although they will be very loud anyway. My cymbals on stage are loud but I'm always amazed how different (and cymbal heavy) it sounds when someone has recorded it on a phone or built in mic compared to what I hear live. Always leans to the higher frequencies.

[@esauhernandez5557]

Mike Portnoy, is back home, will it be that this time we will have what we want, the complete Shattered Fortress show with the band we love so much? Or better yet, will we have METROPOLIS pt 3? This day is unforgettable!!! greetings from El Salvador

[@chromaticchannel1216]

❤❤

[@duaneharris8417]

No smoke, this was GREAT

[@OliKember]

Not just an outstanding drummer, but a fabulous showman too. The audience engagement, the stick tricks, the unique cymbal chokes and also the singing too! Always amazing to watch Mike!

[@cosmavitosoldato6108]

I'm putting on the latest movie and here you are playing in Poland! 😀 Good! Unfortunately I couldn't be there! 😪

Niceeeeeee

[@2dedonozoio]

Monstro. Mito!!!!

[@metalmelodies6718]

Fantastic! Mike Portnoy is there anyway u guys bring in Adrian Smith on the next Winery Dogs album? I love the 3 piece action, But that Kotzen/Smith album is also pretty damn good. Even if it's for 1 song, I think it would be incredible.

[@wfs1267]

And finally yesterday is mike reunite to the HOME "DREAM THEATER" 🔥

[@TheManglerPolishDeathMetal]

love that guy !!!

[@vitorfernandes346]

[@jsdrummer2008]

Hey Mike, that's why you are my Biggest influences on drums

[@boendahbandofficial8628]

2:14 This fill is typical of Portnoy, and those cymbal catching skills, Portnoy is a legend.

[@drumdtheredrumdthat]

I just rewound the video at that point to watch that same cymbal choke. Then I saw your comment and I had to click it to see if you went for the same one I did. And you did! Never saw that one before!

[@boendahbandofficial8628]

​@@drumdtheredrumdthatyeah bro, that's cool, I can't count how many times I've repeated that part, Portnoy often uses this technique in every song, even if it's only a few parts

[@realRainz]

"which way do I go?" .. straight to the Dream Theater, Sir!

[@juanc2892]

que seaaa rockk genio🎉😊

[@heavyblues355]

2:14 fu*k what a great fill. Masterclass
