Mike Portnoy - Sacrificed Sons - DrumCam

[@d.afonsohenriques6346]

To me they still are the best progressive metal band of all time... But to me Mike Portnoy is the best drummer of all times. We D. T. fans miss him.

[@thomaslentino9940]

Duh!!!! Lol 😆..MP 4vr MM 4nw. No really I've enjoyed their entire career discography

[@PinkSpiderFan10]

True. But I also love MM. so thankful of DT always.

[@Tyepianoguy]

We all miss him so much.

[@Toddzilla1967]

I’ve seen MP with NMB, watched him play on Petrucci’s recent solo tour, and he’s touring with The Winery Dogs in 2023. Some are talking like he’s dead. I get that you miss him in DT, but he’s doing more now than when he was in DT. So go see him. Also, I’ve seen DT three times with MM. He’s done a very good job resuming drumming duties after MP and accepting the invitation into an unenviable situation. I’d say it takes a lot of courage and pretty thick skin to do what MM has done.

[@d.afonsohenriques6346]

@@Toddzilla1967 I agree my friend.👍⚓💪

[@drums4lyfe0987]

Still one of the greatest live concerts of my life. I look forward to repeating the experience in 2024 now that he is back

[@FanaticDrummer]

Now this is what drums sound like! Damn his snare is legendary. That perfect crack.

[@TillyP]

Perfect Crack was my dancing name to pay for college

[@roozbeh60]

@@TillyP Do you know if he is using the 12x5.5 at the beginning (on the smaller kit)? It has the perfect tightness and crack!

[@USMCSDI]

I was AT this concert and GLAD I was... the BEST live concert I've ever seen

[@legattostacatto4805]

Holy shit. Awesome dude. One of their best.

[@Mrbeat-88]

He plays with such joy... I can only imagine how hard it must have been for him to leave DT like that. DT was his greatest masterpiece.

[@phredhenson9638]

I certainly prefer that version to the really stupidly complex reality. Although you're certainly right about the vast majority of that it is just over simplified

[@davelospinoso9022]

He needed a break.. His body needed a break... DT and the record label wouldn't give it to him.

[@jeanpaulchamorro9062]

Hes back 🥲

[@Nefville]

This is the best live drum performance on KZbin. Has to be. Mike is a one man show of pure talent, passion and joy. No seriously, if you know of one that is better than this, tell me, because I _really_ want to see that.

[@mashukhakam9320]

Cant get enough of Mike playing this, most probably watched this 100 times already 😮😮

[@danielrodriguesdesouza-l3v]

4:00 Mano que épico! Bem vindo de volta mike a sua casa!!!

[@lukemasterblaster7904]

Thank you Mike. Only smiles while watching you play.

[@jolesgarcia4812]

That Choke-Spin-Hit @6:39 was incredible. I Love Mangini but something is really charasmatic and fascinating about Portnoys drumming.

[@MnyFrNthng]

I think this video shows the main difference between MP and MM. MM is superb but he is like a robot playing flawlessly. lol

[@davelospinoso9022]

​@@MnyFrNthngMike Mangini is a nerd, Mike Portnoy is a rockstar. Huge difference between the two, Dream Theaters writing and production have been flat since Mangini took the throne. Top 5 DT albums I&W SFAM SDOIT BCASL Octavarium

this song is soo great ... miss MP in DT ...

[@naunidhsingh6796]

HE'S BACK BABY

[@javierserranoyoutube]

Such a joy to watch. I never get tired of this performance. Excellent song with a roller coaster of emotions. The final section so dramatic with great drumming energy.

[@davelospinoso9022]

The drums from 9:20 on are insane. So powerful and played with such showmanship. I don't care how many polyrhythms and paradiddles professor Mangini can play he can't match the cymbal work of probably and he belongs in a classroom not on stage. Dude can't even sing backup vocals.

[@nboeltjes]

The toms and double snare "crack" at 7:40-ish... I'm not a drummer... but wow...

[@danteyoutu]

6:26 he looks like he is enjoying that part so much that he makes it even more epic

[@VHDT10]

One of my favorite parts!

[@ekokodok4818]

Mike Mangini can't be this enjoying

[@Adrmeisterwerk]

@@ekokodok4818 the drum is too technical and tight. From my perspective of being a drummer, you can't really relax a bit and enjoy while you're playing a complex and tight drum.

[@thelizardprince8709]

Score is my favorite DT live album/home video - it's the Mike Portnoy era at their absolute peak - everyone is perfect in this.

[@TalkanianRetrogaming]

Budokan was better in my opinion... Perfect TrackList.....

[@leeDs718]

The best song on Octavarium IMO

[@michaelehrhart9413]

Neal Peart blazed the way...but Mr. Portnoy is the current king of skins...playing from no other drummer can match his taste, selection and coordination...he is a phenom...untouchable...Sir Portnoy!

Welcome back to DT❤❤❤ MP!!!!!!

I love the cymbal choke and spin at 6:41

[@codyking2434]

In 2012 my town was hit by a massive F5 tornado and although I know the song is based on the 911 attacks, a good chunk of my town was destroyed. I remember leaving my shelter to see debree everywhere and not even knowing who was alive and who wasn't. Quite a feeling for good o 12 year old me. The solo on 6:20 really brings me back to that place and man does it give me chills. So simple, yet so powerful

"This video uploaded on for fun and not for earning money." as the advert plays

[@javierserranoyoutube]

What is that business going on at 7:58 between Mike and his tech? Is that "Best Grip Ever" spray? Secondly, I see Mike has a full-on camera pointing straight at him but he also has a concave mirror and a bunch of stuff right above that mirror...vanity break? :)

[@LaszloVersteeg]

I don't know about the "Best Grips Ever" spray, but the camera is only for videos like this, and perhaps for his own evaluation on his drumming/technique. The mirror is actually there so he can see the conductor of the orchestra behind the band. I think I read that somewhere a few years ago. (The stuff right above the mirror is the stand for the mirror I guess). Or it's a vanity break hahaha:P

[@AdityaKhuller]

+Javier Serrano It's basically water, for him to have better grip, he says his hands get really dry on a Drumcam commentary. The camera is for recording his performance, and the mirror is to look at the screen behind him, as well as the orchestra.
