Mike portnoy These Walls

[@JpOctavarium]

This song is beautiful, it helped me get through a very rough part of my life. Thank you Dream Theater!

[@Zzzlol94]

One of the most intricate verses played on drums. There’s not really much else going on, but MP just create the most pleasing beat that could’ve been made. Just the peak of creativity. Can’t wait for the next DT album.

[@NestorParedes]

How perfect composition, no more, no less, incredible technique, a real drummer that makes you feel more than just speed and virtuosity.

[@Dominckman]

if I could just get to where he is id be set. I'm dedicating my life to following this man's footsteps just so maybe one day I could play as well as Mike portnoy. first step, berklee college of music. hopefully I'll meet him before he goes and just thank him for making me push harder to be a better musician and have a more successful life. thanks mike

Who's with me...2020 December 20th and still in Love and cant stop listening. 😘

[@Madmok128]

That's what I said when I was 15 years old

[@gballmaier]

Well, it's been 6 years. How's your playing? I hope your a drumming Phenomenon by now. To your health.

[@brandonkdrummer]

Updates man how ya doin? It's ok if your goals changed or if you did or didn't succeed.

[@kvothedo]

This is probably the best lesson of how you should write drums for music. Everything fits so fucking perfect. I love you MP

[@TexasKoz]

Surgical precision on the drums.

[@Thiago_Alves_Souza]

Technique, musicality and feel. He may not be the best drummer ever but my man is the complete package

[@Ratkill9000]

Has to be one of my favorite songs from them. I listened to this song constantly during high school (2007-2011) and got me through the toughest times.

[@javadrumsyossiemirada1444]

Nice Drumms Sound ... ... ... 👍💘😃

[@TexasKoz]

I'll bet "take-2" was even better. Man...that was awesome.

[@eidercamachado]

Uff. Que temazo. Y Portnoy sencillamente toca exquisito.

[@drummer7808]

o them splash parts are wonderful

[@alouisiusprabowo3250]

I felt like that he hit every piece of the kit gently without losing pressure

[@idkbutilikerice739]

I thought the same !!

[@zoiberg1212]

I love from 0:00 - 6:45

[@luisbaterialghl]

Es increíble como es real aquello de que todos somos uno, en este caso xq a pesar de las distancias o de que muchos no nos conozcamos entre sí tenemos vivencias pensamientos emociones bastante similares. Aquí diría yo para mi mismo con la letra de este bello tema cualquier parecido con la realidad es mera coincidencia.

[@dreamtheater39]

Mind blowing drumming.....love the song too....DT pwns!

[@adamnwizard]

I'm 29, and I just went ape-shit like I did when I was 14.... Portnoy is the best!

[@2Chaoslord]

This is mesmerizing

[@henrymorgan1130]

funniest track to play for drummers!

[@garney001]

freakin ridiculously technical stuff i love it mikes the shit! a lot of people could learn a thing or 2 from him.

[@alvaro123211]

clase magistral de como debes tocar la bateria, es absolutamente único mike

[@ayusharipirala3121]

The worst part of the song is at 6:46

[@MrBackoftheface]

I surprised no one mentioned how different he looks without the beard and short hair

[@thatmusicdirector]

Mike Portnoy... Best Drummer in the WORLD. (right after neal peart) but 2 completely different styles. LAWL

[@0finrod0]

[@butters226]

[@verdigoA]

grande rendimento

[@The_Crooked_Step]

2, than 3

[@L-05T]

When Misunderstood have "misunderstand-able" guitar solo, then These Walls have "these drums"

[@XDariXx]

i dont get it ...how much times hes hitting the bass in the intro? ...3 times or 2 times?

[@sammytk8830]

XDariXx it goes like this 1-1 123, 123, 1-1 123, 123 It repeats until it changes

[@thatmusicdirector]

ya i guess they r.. your right.

[@eduardowormittag2113]

This song is different, even for DT standards...

[@TexasKoz]

Would the world be different if Mike had flipped his sticks to the fat end earlier in his career?
