SABIAN Obsessed with Mike Portnoy

[@Babyk._36]

Wow, Mike Portnoy really does have a DREAM THEATER! 😂

[@Ticoboeren]

I can't help myself, but burst in a big smile when I see this., (And other Mike Portnoy stuff as well). One hell of a guy!

[@JkDubbed]

I think all drummers have OCD. None of us "casually" get into anything, from my experience lol

[@rileyjones3703]

Agreed. We're a unique bunch. Playing drums, guitar, watching movies and playing video games, none of those are just casual "just blowing off some steam" type things for me. I'm all-systems-go into it.

[@FelipeGimenes300]

I am the brasil.começei to play drums in 11 years, for me the mike portnoy is the second best drummer in the world, always innovating his playing, a true master, lately has disappointed many of his fans more it will be revived again. . for me it is the best, and continues cendo was a great inspiration to me. Portnoy!!

[@marcdedouvan]

Good obsessions gives good results! Bravo! My vision of the good attitude for creating art. I'm a fan of (good) films too and drum teacher and author of drum methods and I'm not a fan of Mike Portnoy (because I love what he does but ALSO a lot of other great drummers).

[@XeRo333]

I'm a big movie fan too! Maybe not to that extent to where I have a full wall of DVDs and CDs but I'd LOVE a home theater in my own house for Sunday movie nights with theater-like recliners the whole nine!! I too love movies that much too

[@joshbuddha6112]

Well, no shit. Have you heard Mike Portnoy play? I'm very jealous of him. I wish I could HALF that good, his chops are amazing. I mean, how can you NOT be jealous of Mike? He had a chance to play with some amazing bands.

[@xDreamTheater94]

Love the drum room, wish I had money to do all this

[@GuyGlick1]

I don't like when people say mike is too arrogant. Some of my friends don't listen to him beacuse of it. he earned a self confidence after he realized what he's capable to do. My favorite is scene from a memmory album buy I like anything else that he does and if you listen, you'll find he is genuine. I've got my ticket to the Supergroup with Sheehan, Macalpine and Sherinian =)

[@xXForgottenxRockerXx]

@Ben M One does not simply ask Mike Portnoy for his Bass Drum head.

[@CCTSPORTES]

That was pure BRILLIANCE!

[@armyguy298]

I found this video fascinating. MP is ONE of the best!

[@beetheb]

Mike just seems like one of those guys it'd be a blast to hang out with.

[@FedeZ3r0]

Good Fellas and Resevoir Dogs poster...love u Mike!!! *-*

[@outlaw6066]

What hi hats did Mike use on the Avenged Sevenfold album? Very curious to know bout that one. Also wondering if it was a brilliant or traditional. thanks! :-)

[@STIXAHOY]

Where does he find the time to do all this !!

[@winters106]

Whats the song around 3:20 to 3:50?

[@IvanLai]

anyone know where to get that t-shirt? WANT

[@LJLiveLV]

Mike lives in heaven.

[@drummingdude47]

I need that shirt! Where can I get one?!

[@musa512]

where can i get a Forever metal t-shirt like his?

[@oddmetre]

Mike is my hero.

[@jlarsena]

Mike Portnoy is very happy with digital recorders, now he doesn't need 5 VCRs to tape all his favorite tv shows when he's away on tour. LOL He was also obsessed with certain tv shows like Sopranos. I have the same taste in film and tv as Portnoy, except I don't have cable or satelite, I'll just buy the shows I watch. Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, etc....and Dream Theater concerts like Budokan and Luna Park of course. LOL

[@rittiedrummerol]

that t-shirt, I guess, when he came to México with Neal Morse, a fan gave it to him, at least, a similar one :D (and I gave him a mexican sarape and he put it on the bass drum that night in the gig :P ..umm hope he still have it..)

[@immortalsoloist]

Plus good musicians have a way of expressing things,there is no competition.

[@revell55]

Also I think it's a lot of astethics, i.e them lookin' good - as well as it's kinda comfy to have glasses with a tone , in my opinion :)

[@CompulsiveDesigns]

That is exactly like me. Down to the several iPods. 160gb is definitely not enough.

[@La_sagne]

how can you hate a band for their music? or have they actually done anything to you that would justify the hate? hate the music if you want, that's okay. but if kusinx is a a7x fan i wouldn't feel sorry for him but rather be happy that for him because he found music that he enjoys. i think you should think about the meaning of the word "hate" a little more

[@krthkh]

shit portnoy is epic in all the way man

[@Paradiddleye]

Well...now I AM obsessed

[@BenMichalowicz]

MP can I have one of your bass drum heads?

[@Teloitus]

4:18 -> my mind just blew... I died... I went nuts... the fucking apocalypse came down on my ass! Holy fucking shit I can't even start to describe how shitting cool that is! His drum room is the most beautiful thing EVER!

[@miles-178]

modern drummer magazines ... so goood

[@alfredo13503]

muy buena MP sigue asi

[@AfterlifeBlack]

4:18 and through these doors..... is heaven.

[@Tyrannabudz]

Taking obsessed to a different level. Lol Good stuff.

[@Luccavero]

Jojo Mayer has a small kit too this isn't a demostration kit video,i think

[@bestdrummer4607]

good sounds.

[@kurtrh63]

Awesome!

[@BenMichalowicz]

Look at the stuff near the end of "Outcry"

[@ayusharipirala3121]

I wonder what's his take on B-grade Bollywood movies.

[@Joshuaying]

reservoir dogs poster.. mad respect

[@TrashMojo]

this is me if i ever get the money to do this

[@iloveNgany]

Dude you're at home still wearing sunglasses?

[@aystubed]

I want that T-Shirt.

[@remygaron8311]

Yeah collectiiiiinnngggg major

[@FramingArmageddonIE]

4:20... Yup, that will pretty much sum up my later-adult hood...

[@joshbuddha6112]

Soo true.. than again, none of my favorite drummers are metal drummers. haha :)

[@ClaudioPassamaniOficial]

acho que eu sou uma versão pobvre do portnoy pra guitarra... e dvds..

[@jaypage4778]

Love the shirt bro !! i want 1 =)

[@jaredklock8754]

The shirt is from Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. I'm pretty sure it's still on his website. I have one!

[@WaddupYa]

looks like a great guy to me!

[@ianlibdan2685]

Even though portnoy is out of DT, DT songs are playing in the background! DT AND MP! \,,/! :))

[@drummerboy231434]

Remember those days when we had real drums

[@boychii]

Holy shit!!!! I saw the guy who gave him that shirt!!!! VIVA MEXICO CABRONES!!!!!!

[@ResidentEvil4rlz]

critical acclaim by avenged sevenfold :) can't find the video here though..

[@ArcticOverlord6]

7:46 RIP REV!!!!!

[@Luccavero]

Obsessed with Chad Smith,Please

[@NenedzhyanStudios]

Lark's Tongue In Aspic at 2:43

[@Bananapuddinpie]

@musadrumz I looked around, couldn't find it, going to a custom T-shirt store to get my own. Get 'er done. If you don't live in a city, just visit one, you can get it done in less then a half hour. My work here is done.

[@anzzi95]

this is a real drum heaven... or hell

[@samoht1965]

...'n absolut cooler Samler! Geil!

[@punk9999643]

I highly doubt that. A7X are labeled as "scene shit" because that's just how they look. The members of Nirvana and The Police dressed casually. (at least Nirvana did, not sure about The Police)

[@DoctorFunkify]

I love a clockwork orange.

[@85Aheadstix]

Well duuh!. A7x is their flag ship.

[@post-man23]

"Mike opened a shop"

[@ThePb02]

Drum room... :O

[@edjorthebeast]

and the comment arguments continue

[@revell55]

might be actual glasses just with a tone, honestly... why even bother about it, I personally find that sunglasses with a low tone (i.e with not that much of a darkness wibe ) is really comfy to have at all times, ... the world is to bright :'(

[@Dimitrius212]

By the grace of God, everyone survived ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR

[@kevinmeli]

Dimitrius212 😂

[@anindamghosh3064]

extremely obsessed

[@subelment]

peart's kit is massive? look at the size of your own kit portnoy

[@85Aheadstix]

Right ;)

[@88omair]

I know I know, it's none of my business and its such a petty issue, but I find it odd and pointless, but the low tone glasses you're talking about, hmmm. The world is bright? Thats great! I thought it was dull and gloomy, but I guess its about perspectives.

[@possemies]

winters106 That would be Panic Attack from Dream Theater

[@JoaoAlfredoBontempo]

7:45 What song ? kkk

[@raymondcashen7960]

Im not sure why people like A Clockwork Orange so much. I never did, clearly i must not understand it o.O

[@seansterling325]

It’s Systematic Chaos! Lol

[@La_sagne]

i just used the words of 85aheadstix

[@musa512]

@Bananapuddinpie god, you'r so fucking awesome, how can i be like you?

[@SpaceDyeDream]

Drum Purgatory *snicker*

[@adrianoalvesSurreal]

Pago um pau para esse cara!!!!!foda foda!!!!

[@gmorton731]

[@i_whip_tryhards]

Sabian Cribs: Mike Portnoy

[@scarred2112]

A Drum Room full of custom-made kits which a price tag can't be put one... in the hands of a drummer who's stated over-and-over that he doesn't practice, "keep up" or even *play* drums when he's not touring. Seems like a waste to me... I know for myself that's one reason ADTOE was so fresh-sounding for Dream Theater: they had a drummer who clearly gave cared about what and how he was playing as opposed to cramming himself inside the Vocal Booth and shout out guttural, wannabe Lead Vocals.

[@DeathDelta]

It'd be pretty funny if Portnoy got arrested for piracy.

[@85Aheadstix]

???....um no, and doesnt the fact that i hate them with a passion just show that??. Or are you a fan?. If you are i feel soooo sorry for you.

[@88omair]

Sunglasses indoors, really MP, really?

[@SemhanAydin]

Hate is always there, inside of him. He just chooses to reflect it on a band.

[@fersal1994]

@winters106 Panic Attack bro

[@karl9864]

do such a video with cobus:P

[@Katitha0216]

Rich Portnoy...

[@IWGChannel]

Actually JP wrote the drums for ADTOE on a drum machine and sent the files to Mangini to learn. Mangini IS the better drummer but just barely, and they are both a little over rated when you compare them to REAL metal drummers.

[@drglnc69]

WAS the fastest drummer and that was for Single stroke rolls... Has nothing to do with his talent as a drummer...

[@immortalsoloist]

Please cut the nonsense of who is a better drummer than who. A lot names you folks mention already have state Mike Portnoy as an influence. Grow up and try to have a career like his and the bands and projects he did. Then talk,I didn't see any metal drummer even come close to the musicality of "The Dance Of Eternity" with all those meter changes and that feel. That's my personal opinion. MP will always be one of my favorite drummers of all time.

[@punk9999643]

oops

[@arsenalef]

Esta echo un careta loco! una lastima.

[@anuar7x]

One unlike?? It must be Mangini

[@roffeyay99]

Obs...what obsession? obsession what? what?! stuff? what stuff...Obsessed? What...

[@85Aheadstix]

Tsk tsk.

[@85Aheadstix]

Chad smith?, you serious?, is it worth a 2 minute video? He has a 3 piece kit.
