Mike Portnoy - Octavarium

[@lilkasper7950]

4:21 my favorite drum fill in the world

[@natoblokesuruc]

Mine too! I could hear that on a loop forever!

[@ameerfaris6336]

Same man..

[@fernandoprado9686]

Mike has such a good taste for this kind of stuff (IMO)

[@davesiddons8921]

My favourite fill as well, portnoy is a genius

[@arthurreede4478]

There are alot of great drummers with great technical skills. But what makes Portnoy stand above them is the human "swing" elemant that makes all these very technical pieces breathe and come to live. He knows what we wanna hear and executes it perfectly!

[@maximeb190]

You've just put into words what I couldn't explain. This is what always made it difficult for me to enjoy Mangini's replacement. Mangini's skills are absolutely out of this world, but he plays like a robot. Perfectly, too clean, no "swing" as you put it.

[@aditferdianto2449]

I can't say anything.. love this drummer portnoy..😂😂😂😂

[@danem.9402]

This is a hell of a way to be introduced to this song! It's beautiful.

[@SebaProgre]

This song slowly became my favorite DT epic...uterly perfection.

[@Krysztau]

10:08 - so freakin' amazing rhythm!

[@ferdinanrazzan_fisip1844]

Portnoy always be in my heart.

[@ulrichschwarz110]

Deeply impressed. Loved this song so much abd now....even more. Portnoy is a beast

[@simonefrosini8616]

Magic Song, Magic Mike

[@albertoleardini6222]

Bravissimo uno dei miei pezzi preferiti (e sono tanti) dei DT ECCELLENTE

[@eduardogarcia6326]

quero saber o imbecil que deu negativo pra essa performace de um gênio do rock progressivo,um cara que marcou o jeito de compor músicas que nos fazem sonhar,delirar a cada acorde,dream theater é a melhor banda de rock progressivo do mundo,tem que respeitar os caras,mike portnoy o melhor baterista que eu ja vi,o cara toca com prazer,vejo que dream theater não toca por dinheiro e sim por mostrar sua identidade instrumental,gênios.

[@jables3377]

A clean shaven Portnoy... a rare sight!

[@erikleirmo9147]

Definitely one of my favorite drummers up there with Mensa And Lombardo

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Meh Thomas lang would annihilate them all.

[@옥타브-e1j]

Mike being back to Dream Theater just finished the song Octavarium. Do a world tour with Octavarium, and just retire. Make the full story of it.

[@hanhann5742]

Saya penggemar dari Indonesia, ...Mike Portnoy DT!

[@hollowjack8711]

Saw it live with Mike, since reunion ❤️

[@edwardbull3045]

Took me two years to learn to play this. Such a fun song

[@mr.d7429]

Thx for sharing it man! I love this song, and this is much better than the live version!

[@shiaominglee]

how do you even remember to play this from start to end with all the other songs you have to remember to play from start to end?

[@EricPatton-NC]

Mike wrote all the set lists back in the day. Also lots of lyrics, and does back up vocals while playing live. He is an absolute power house of rock!

[@chrissmith3668]

Muscle memory is a very powerful thing. Your body just does it. You don’t think about it

[@mattnormandrums]

If you spend enough time rehearsing you can know it too 🤘🏼🎵

[@EricPatton-NC]

@@mattnormandrums I been working on New Fang for months, still can't get through it in one take.

[@mattnormandrums]

@ you’re working on tough music, which rocks! Keep going. Have you tried charting the song out and following along to “sheet music”? You can simplify it if you cannot read music. I see many high level drummers doing this too.

[@lorettahookano6139]

Do dynamic their music, just like watching a movie or opera, bravo !

[@NoCreativo-vq6dd]

Awesome

[@Patriots-Inc.1776]

This is phenomenal!!!

[@DaKeezl]

Portnoy back then thinking about growing a beard with a touch of blue.

[@ahmadhasbi8983]

I'm here just to see 2000s beardless mike portnoy

[@geronimosantacruz4110]

Great cover!! Amazing as the original!!

[@soulsbornefanboy7833]

💀

[@armingg8038]

😂

[@babehfoundation152]

The funk 🤣

[@cuacko]

😳

[@Alpharius228]

No way, Portnoy without a beard

[@drummer7808]

go mike go

[@tretansakera_war250]

Portnoy at 30yo: make octavarium Me at 30yo: 🤡

[@Kalmansoutu]

Portnoy was actually 38 when Octavarium was released. When he was 30, the band released Falling Into Infinity. So, you still have time (if I understand the meaning of the clown face correctly, that is) 🙌🏻

[@crisdelavega8267]

Muy bueno,emocionante

[@ekiyazid2242]

4:20

[@tiagosantos3960]

What a GOD!!!!

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Thomas lang smashed him

[@MultiSkyman1]

I would love to see what some other so called "top drummers" would do for this song? Would be very interesting.

[@SebastianMorales-t9i]

El final man

[@SeiyaSoiya-un4jj]

A clean shaven Mike Portnoy?! 😮

[@Bagmanovich]

Love this track. 9:32 and beyond is interesting. Video shows some fills which didn't make it on final version.

[@shaunsteele6926]

I never realized he was using two different snares on this song

[@ionion1089]

who the fuck was in charge with changing the cameras??? he/she missed the most important moves in the Medicate (Awakeing) section!!!!

[@1thiago4]

The complete video is made by merging of record session takes.

[@flabbergastmau]

I don't think this is Mike people. So thin and his big fucking neck just isn't there. This is a good cover

[@jonghyunee84]

Same as CD!!

[@cbl6520]

That jersey is like 15 sizes too big for him!😂

[@ripayy1203]

Portnoy beardless😂

[@autoimmune-barbell]

He looks so weird without a beard and short hair

[@diegopelozo2679]

Es mejor sin barba y bigote.

[@LucaRemondi]

Bravo tecnicamente , ma privo di anima , non produce emozioni , voto 6
