Mike Portnoy - Endless sacrifice

Mike Portnoy performs " Endless sacrifice "

[@Dzwonek05]

THE KING HAS RETURNED HOME!! LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW ALBUM!

[@DavidMccallister65]

His snare always sounds so good 🤘🥁

[@mammontustado9680]

True! Makes me wonder why that snare isn't more popular among drummers

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

​@@mammontustado9680Because his signature snare drum is mega expensive. I still own one of the original 500 snares that was made that has the Majesty logo wrapped all around the drum. It has a story of it's own, that snare. But the condensed story:- I brought it second hand in 2005. Loved it. But then got into a gambling addiction spiral. Sold the snare drum to some guy in Manchester for £200 to fund a night of poker. Lost the money of course. For years I regretted selling the snare. So when one came up for sale I had to jump on it. Anyway, it was only the person I sold the snare to who was selling it, so I was reunited with the snare I originally owned ❤ It is my favourite snare to use especially for recordings. Compliments my Mapex Saturn Snare well, but just has that extra bit of bite for rock due to the hoops.

[@hakyhermawan2397]

Absolutely right

[@yanbox123]

Whoelse has Portnoy as favorite drummer, give thumbs up....

[@Jetster-vj7xq]

I’m personally a huge Peart fan but Portnoy is right there with him 👍

[@AmazingCovers376]

Portnoy a master genius! at 10:53 he throws the drumstick to the sky and that drumstick falls into the plate at the same time he punch the crash... without words jajaj

[@joaquinramos6706]

is that intentional? 😂

[@lazydog1964]

I just love the punch of Mikes drums.

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

His Tom sound is phenomenal. Although the OP sound is Scenes From a Memory. Those 24" kicks were something else. I tried for years to achieve that sound.

[@erichorton3901]

The literal beating heart of Dream Theater... I miss what he brought to this band...

[@antonellosalmaso]

Mike seems to do everything so easy....jesus i love this drummer!!!

[@kodokterbang7990]

I love the sound of snare..sharp..

[@AnnWahlquist]

I know .. right

[@frankibio]

10:54 Drumstick falls on the beat

[@Zero-lv7xe]

I love that part

[@bcc91]

HAHAHAHAHAHA didn't realise that and now I'm laughing a lot ahahah

[@sitifatimahyahya7263]

because he threw it..

[@francescogiorgianni4878]

not even his drumsticks make mistakes

[@juliusjameslauresta8142]

Boy Mike trusted his stick so much to do its part

[@thebarefootdrummer6375]

This song brings back so many memories I love his drumming it's energetic it's Kick-Ass his groves are solid everything about this is just perfect

[@CptRameus]

I like all the rhythym work "The Petrucc" is layin down back there

[@VioletAOP416]

this mike portnoy guy covers a lot of dream theater songs. He should join the band, he's better than the guy they've got right now.

[@collintansey9508]

Oh I get it. Its because hes no longer with the band. Good one.

[@ivandraganic2521]

Who is better than Mike?

[@ariffzakishaikhnasir6568]

Ivan Draganic Asking the real question

[@MadaraUchiha-sp3jh]

That one was good!

[@Marselord]

Mike is better than Mike, Change my mind...

[@timpootz17]

WOW ......born raised Peart ...Portny his great friend ....What a great drummer .....

[@abelameijeiras4592]

La epoca dorada de portnoy..

[@albalsara5191]

He just plays on a “ One of a kind “ level.

[@loudtowncar]

One of my favourite dt songs!!

[@Magani79]

[@donniebjorklund4491]

@@stefanovozzo1085 I would probably say that Neil Perth is the vest drummer in the world , Cuz most drummers today use him as an role model to follow !

[@xXNightedgeXx]

@@donniebjorklund4491 whose Neil perth... are you thinking of Neil peart? I know him at least.. also hes a good idolized drummer but hes not a piece of clothing like a vest...

[@user-xw3ro1nw5k]

Please mike come back to dream theater! Miss you

[@mayconporto5362]

Who's missing a lot that drummer here, take thumb up 👍

[@vanchuvega3696]

Es increíble la forma natural que tiene para tocar.

[@ekn3864]

Mike Portnoy is the best ,

[@reactions4u438]

[@oherrera6072]

Killer.

[@abeljeiras33]

Porque?

[@DJDanyStrauss]

CHE SPETTACOLO!!!!!! IL PIU GRANDE BATTERISTA DI TUTTI TEMPI!!!!

[@djdiderguibalmoore4287]

For me he's a great drummer and a great way to learn because he plays with dicipline and straight to see each hit or tempo i love drums but dont train enough .

[@AnnWahlquist]

Such a perfect Tone.....

[@KevinLuWX]

10:54 Now we know that it's the drum stick playing flawlessly not him.

[@kassiocampos8042]

I miss that feeling, sorry Mangini.

[@otobustutkusu303]

Respect to the Leyend

[@stlim77]

Metallica sanitarium vibe intro

[@zacharywalsh6481]

must be a nightmare to mic up

[@vektrr]

Zachary Walsh a nightmare to remember how to play

[@bmstylee]

Nah. They have top level techs. Mic it a few times and it's easy. Probably have a chart of what goes where.

[@davework13]

The trick is NOT to try to close mic EVERYTHING, ONLY what you must. And you catch the rest with overheads

[@reidgowan2670]

0 I get that joke. Good one

[@jabedkhan9747]

Where can I find drums like this in my country ? This is nothing close to what I use for playing. I live in Bangladesh.

[@MANY_POP]

Cool Cool

[@jasonbroni]

Needs more cymbals

[@donniebjorklund4491]

I just love portnoy ! how he makes everything work . in the music in total . maybe I'm wrong but that is how I see him !! Got to love him or hate him as haters do !!

[@user-yf4gs2xm9z]

petrucci at the top of right side

[@limitisillusion7]

When I tighten my crashes that much they break. I need a sponsorship

[@josephrosenbaum3343]

where do you people get these studio recordings from?

[@BBHemisnJets]

*AWESOME* but why the weird cut→ right at the end.?

[@theadamblock]

Usually represents a "punch in" as far as I have been able to tell.

[@Theylive7768]

9:02? Tu és monstro

[@rickysevens]

Was that a rim shot on the tom at the end, after all the mad chops?

[@johngdrums420]

Wish it was actually live sound

[@illogicSlugs]

9:08 My eyes and ears are out of sync.

[@emptylibrito6787]

0:21 lol

[@emptylibrito6787]

@Iman Habibie ?

[@erkutacar]

lol the beginning sounds like mj's give into me :)

[@Podzzy]

True! Great song btw.

[@lorenzoderose8905]

Il groove iniziale è preso palesemente dalla canzone "welcome home(sanitarium)" dei metallica

[@nicknamechannel8679]

Solo quello?😂

[@filipkunjadic-culibrk7463]

8:50 you can hear a ride cymbal but on a video he is playing a hi-hat. :D

[@paulovictorsilva7122]

haha true!! after the tom

[@espectronel]

Filip Kunjadić - Ćulibrk open.spotify.com/artist/2Eqlbf6nwqOxVZod6Swg9Z?si=nT5YwVLwSpCSOSVx7mlz1g

[@mmblaake]

That type of stuff occurs often in this video

[@brucerandell3771]

9:09 there is also a tom-snare mismatch but he must have got all together at some stage. Such an awesome drummer.

[@andrewaavik]

It's because you're listening to the studio track playing over video of him drumming.There are certain parts of the song that don't sync up because he played slightly differently in the video than on the studio track. These videos are very deceiving that way!

[@ghostwolfr054]

4:45

[@clintonmccutcheon3509]

Remember seeing DT in London in late 90's - they were absolutely phenomenal. Their song writing has run out of gas a bit since then which is a shame.

[@bball98038]

10:48-10:52 Meow Mix song

[@TheTubeMeister]

I noticed how high he sits.

[@K_Bone]

Don't see how it was a fail when he didn't even try to grab it.

[@giannimarcoarquio8484]

i can see petrucii on the side haha

[@alexanderpelaezvega7396]

Missed beats/fails 8:18 8:50 through 9:10 10:32 (hits the splash cymbals but you can hear riding on a crash)

[@IRLguy777]

I'm guessing this was one of Portnoy's "off" days. If you pay attention to all the transitions and fades in the footage, they must have filmed this in at least ten takes. Which is quite strange considering this is one of DT's easier songs to play.

[@paradigmshiftz7]

I wouldn't say they're fails, just stuff that didn't make the final cut. Mike filmed himself recording these drums but not when he recorded parts that made the final recording. Maybe when he was tracking drums for the song, he went back, did a few more takes that he preferred (not filming) and chose to use them instead.

[@davidmartin6959]

where is the pinstripe ?

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Given all the edits, I guess he had to do a few takes to get it all right.

[@mars_over]

Actually he's pretty much improvising. There's no "pre-planned right" take when he's recording. He plays the song several times and then picks the parts he likes the most and edits them together.

[@duwilham]

0:20 kkkkkkk

[@tedisopian8359]

So lucky

[@danywan83]

11:35 fail hahaha

[@tomster_6274]

Pretty sure this is just the actual song over the video

[@peterdavid7283]

some how reminds me "welcome home (sanitarium)"

[@Qliphirot]

Rom Ero The intro reminds me of Suicidal Tendencies' How Will I Laugh Tomorrow

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Yep, a lot.... like embarrassingly so.

[@davesmith8341]

for me the intro sounds like ”if I die tomorrow” by mötley crüe :D

[@edgaralonzo8111]

Watching Mike Portnoy play drums really makes me want to quit

[@gustafbstrom]

…my job and pursue a drummer career.

[@ChessCat1500]

really? It makes me feel like learning drums lol

[@djdiderguibalmoore1698]

Planet pigs

[@bball98038]

I don't know why, but Portnoy in this vid looks like a kick ass, gothic, Ronald McDonald....

[@diegocalero9181]

Mike mangini!!..he doesn't even give his ankles. Portnoy= perfection Mangini= imitation In the only way they look alike is the name!

[@damianpaz1379]

Lamentablemente no esta tocando, por sino se dieron cuenta!!

[@smlljze]

Portnoy explica varias veces en sus dvd's que el audio que se escucha es la grabación de estudio, mientras que el video es algo casero que grabo el solo por su cuenta y no siempre encendía la cámara o bien las escenas que grabo, no llegaron al mix final de la canción. Por si no has visto ninguno de sus dvd anteriores, si hasta te fijas suele tener diferentes remeras. No es algo que se oculte, esta hecho a propósito y el video es meramente para tener una esencia de como toca las partes.

[@robingarr945]

Needs to work on his confidence.

[@Cipirano]

just, don't fuckin cut the video

[@bobdoyle5945]

excellent musician, terrible at solos

[@marekstepanek9683]

It is out of sync
