I know people really love Dance of Eternity as one of the most challenging FINAL BOSS level of songs for basically all the instruments there, but this one has always hit me in a different way emotionally. Just a badass performance. Never got to see him in live setting but I'm sure those were some badass concerts. Peart, Carey, and Portnoy are my 3 fav drummers. The LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird of drummers IMO

Say what you will about Portnoy. He's the heart of Dream Theater.. always will be. Maybe some day he will make a return if they forgive him...which they might because Portnoy invented all these drum diddies for dream theater from scratch with his style... Mangini is doing a great job tho but Mangini will always play like Mangini and Portnoy will always play like Portnoy.. Mangini will never emulate him completely. There is no bad blood between the two drummers.. It just is what it is.

Rob Meek The thing is, DT were not looking for another Portnoy, they were looking for a replacement who could meet the same standards, not be the same person. Mangini definitely met his standards technically and musically. But is different in many ways, which what makes him good and an excellent choice for DT. In My opinion: Portnoy is one of my favourite drummers, and A Nightmare to Remember remains one of my favourite songs to drum too. Mangini is just something else, The Enemy Inside is a drumming masterpiece and is my favourite DT song to date.

He’s always counting , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5......... Do you know what Portnoy always does while he’s playing drums with or without DT ? He’s always singing the whole songs . It means that one has only numbers in his head and the other has music and lyrics in his head. This is a huge and important difference in terms of inspiration ,musicality, composition and versatility or in other words to be a legend.
