Mike Portnoy - Ten Degrees of Turbulent Drumming

[@merqury5]

Being able to play this music is one thing, bit writing it to begin with is what made the Portnoy era of DT truly incredible.

[@lifeisajourney5789]

Absolutely right! The same is valid with KM in DT, after him there is no full DT'album with melody and feel from beginnning to end...

[@aluandcache7336]

@@lifeisajourney5789 SFAM was better tho

[@AnnWahlquist]

Exactly.... He's more than just the drummer ... He IS dream theater

[@FanaticDrummer]

Its also cool seeing how different some of these parts are from the final recordings. How much he develops the parts as they track. And also how challenging some of it was that he was pushing himself on this album which really set up the next albums. You can see the heavy factor really start on this album.

[@Stoovey24]

​@@lifeisajourney5789"no full DT album...blah blah" KM fanatic.

[@FanaticDrummer]

People still don't realize Portnoy wrote the 12 steps spanning over many albums. Each of the albums selected songs that are part of the 12 step concept reflect on each other to tie the whole story together over many albums. It's stuff like that that makes portnoy a superior writer and not just a good drummer. So for people who say this song sounds like this other song, that's why. It's intentional.

[@BruceWayne-zj1kw]

Literally everyone knows that.

[@nickolaslannes1915]

​@@BruceWayne-zj1kwlook again... Maybe you know this today, but his/her commentary was written 8 years ago

[@BruceWayne-zj1kw]

@@nickolaslannes1915 Everyone knew this 8 years ago. In fact, everyone knew this over 20 years ago when he did The Glass Prison. Everyone knew an AA song would be on a new album. When the song titles would come out, there would be debate over which one was the next chapter.

Portnoy is a legend, i go on my Drums right now and gonna practice till i could do a full 10 sec of this song :) :)

[@saranoxxis]

Mike Portnoy's drum tracks are actually fairly easy to pull off once you've learned his "licks"

Mostly RLRLKK RLKK or something simular to this but not less entertaining. ;)

Hahahaha... This make my day!!!!

[@joecristino161]

I heard fortune on the radio for first time in like the late 80s ... being a drummer and hearing the middle part where he and John lock in that sick pattern I was like “ who the f is this guy and band?!’ They immediately bridged the prog rock I loved with the 70s with metal ..changed my music life

[@wiggy009]

What is fortune

[@Heptaerna0527]

@@wiggy009 I think it’s the song “A Fortune in Lies” from their first album “When Dream and Day Unite.”

The little drum at the beginning is jumping for joy!!

[@federicoceri3619]

Mike mike mike....we miss you in dream theater...... please come back!

[@BogomilHristov-tm1iv]

Federico Ceri if I got my facts straight, MP tried to return but DT refused and kept mike mangini as to as they say “show that we do not hire temporary members”. I love MP and I want him back, but I understand DT, because MP decided to leave, then came mike mangini and there cannot be turning back cuz imagine them telling Mike Mangini “hey y’know we all wanted and needed you here with us cuz MP left and we needed a technically gifted drummer who can play the older DT songs and create new albums with us but now that MP wants to return, we want to tell ya goodbye. Aight, we gonna head out, bye!”

[@andysalter7192]

2023 granted your wish!

[@eduardozepol2000]

as with almost every dream theater album, when i listened to this album at first I didn't enjoy it much, I thought it was too long and boring, but as I've looked into it more I realize how much of a masterpiece it is.

[@brucel.6078]

Always a pleasure watching mp play. Miss him bad in DT

[@corruptvirus]

Blind Faith has to be one of my favorites!

[@jeremysdrumming4474]

I agree, i love the whole album but blind faith is one of my favorites too 🤘

[@jeremysdrumming4474]

I really like blind faith allot!

[@AllenGarrow]

Mikes playing makes even a non drummer want to be better... Great example of how good a person can become if they work at it. ~A

[@manifestgtr]

I love how mike played the drums to solitary shell wearing a kiss my ass shirt...little things like that shine a goofy reality onto the recording process...a singer recording these super emotional vocal parts in between the bouts of scream shitting from the bad chinese food that got delivered to the studio

[@ovi1990]

His drum parts are simply amazing. They fit perfectly!

[@joaskiGM]

Of the best drummers in history for my taste.

[@toniblakmoore7239]

From one drummer to another holy shit mike portnoy to this day has always impressed me as a drummer and plus great studio video of making this album and live in the recording studio !!!! How awesome and amazing this is to see for yourself!!!😮

[@jcvasconcelos_]

For me, He is the BEST DRUMMER EVER.. His mind is out of curve (uper) And when he was with DT, then, THEN was perfect Group of Incredible Talent togheter! THANKS MP, THANKS DT

Mike - I really love everything that you have done and speak about. You are a true treasure to the music industry which has turned so goddam bad that it is scary. I will always support what you do - (unless you start wearing Michaelo Angelo wigs and Evil Kanevil jumpsuits). Thank you for how true you are and all you have done and said to a great many people that listen to you and respect your values and believes in life and this fucked-up industry which has become the music business of 2018 - future - you are one of the very true left, music talent level and attitude and very true level of honesty. Thank you for all you have done. If I had any money that I could give - it would be to you dude... 2nd side of Hemispheres all the way man....
