The Dance Of Eternity - Dream Theater | Synthesia Transcription

[@rruhland]

Everyone talks about how amazing Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci are, but personally I think John Myung doesn’t get near enough props.

[@nishantgtrz7294]

True

[@nonchalantree6604]

agreed

[@moonlitknyght]

playing with jp mind you

[@gunscotthdgaming69420]

Well theres a saying in metal: you cant hear the damn bass

[@m1toz1k]

@@gunscotthdgaming69420 well, say this to: Panic Attack intro, Dance Of Eternity solo, Metropolis solo and many other xcoll things!

[@carlstawicki1915]

As complicated as it looks, this is actually one of the easiest Dream Theaters songs to sing.

[@Xennox2]

Carl Stawicki sing a long to :)

[@colejohnson66]

I thought that was Overture 1928?

[@jajangadin.1678]

Yeah,even you sing while sleep 😁 thats possible 😂

[@chrisjackson1266]

James LaBrie has never sounded better!

[@applejacks971]

I can't find the lyrics anywhere :(

[@badgas8132]

I wasn't gonna watch the whole video, because I've watched it like 10 times already before, but this song, whatever form it is in just puts me in a trance every time.

[@purefacts01]

I know right??!

[@figeon]

Have you seen the live version???

[@ladymaria9529]

Blue = bass Red = guitar Yellow = keyboard Black = vocal

[@metalizer135]

Jordan Rudess can preform black midi live ;)

[@mindadarksight2676]

sounds like boss battle music

A game with progressive metal would be perfect

[@nikhilbarretto5804]

More like a Pokémon boss battle

[@The_Archvile]

3:23

[@they2kguy822]

doom?

[@fbtyube]

I hear mostly Golden Sun boss battles

[@דוראלון-ו4נ]

I love that's everybody in the comments doesn't know that Ruddes parts are in yellow, John Petrruci in red and John Myung in blue and they think Jordan is playing all of the three parts when actually he plays only the yellow one😂😂

[@דוראלון-ו4נ]

All of the crazy red things you saw in red is John Petrruci's parts, all the crazy things you saw in blue is John Myung's parts. That's why we can also see the Guitar solo, Bass solo, Guitar and Bass unison, John Petrruci's part in the keyboard guitar unison, all of this.

[@esskaygee7616]

I don't know why but I feel like some the people in the comments don't know that the only parts that Jordan plays are in yellow.

[@markurban9113]

Yeah but... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaHUmXRmpLCrsKc

[@ytsejam77]

wow and I don't know why you seem from those people in the comments who have never seen jordan play that song live

[@MomoCrafter2013]

He uses both hands on the keyboard, pretty sure is not only yellow. I know this video mixes it with guitar and bass, but jordan does use his left hand to play on the lower octaves

[@hakudogu2003]

2:00 the moment i realize i'm not going to play piano anymore

[@lt.charley3971]

Dude, I listen to Dream Theater and equally impressive bands all the time, and I still plan on playing drums.

[@honeydew_one9303]

It's actually not that hard to learn. I learned it in about 2 months

[@austinsatterfield4981]

It took me 3 months to learn this on drums and bass guitar, it's a challenge but if ya practice 2 or 3 hours a night you could get it in a month or so

[@パイピーナット]

Ive been learning for 3 days and I’ve got up to 52 seconds, it’s more than achievable with enough practice and motivation. And at 2:00, is actually one of the easiest parts of the piece

[@thedemocraticfilipino6417]

I learned this 2 years ago... Quite easy than it looks honestly... Hehe

[@absoluteinfinity1197]

where do they sell hands?? i want a third one!

[@AriochStarr]

I have an extra hand you can borrow. But it's a bit sticky.

[@sumancdefgab]

Enderman22 right one keyboard/middle one 🎸/left one bass

[@praetoriandalex1722]

*chew*

[@Luaporleafcutterant]

suman bhattacharjee Yellow is keybord, red is guitar and blue is bass

[@godwin972]

I like how there's a random jazzy section at 2:00

[@Harmopedia]

Ragtime is a movement from jazz

[@archivelibrarian6818]

Almost like circuis music

[@LuckyGT2004]

jazz lol

[@arthurrollins8407]

This song made me quit piano, and I don't even play.

[@tylerjulien2532]

Great job transcribing this, one of my favorite songs

[@ilhamfiles]

the easy part you can play of this song is at 4:15

[@fimlviaquez3936]

"easy"

[@artaud831]

123 rqr there is keyboard, but it's playing the same notes of the guitar

[@artaud831]

123 rqr i said that keyboard and guitar are playing the same notes, but it's only showing the guitar notes because the keyboard ones are below the guitar ones. It's not difficult to hear the keyboard and the guitar playing together

[@dylanaguilar6545]

Ilham Nurhamzah and the weirdest sounding part, still cool though😂

[@austinsatterfield4981]

Lol that's actually one of the hardest sections, as there is over 60 time sig changes

[@narpzcodm]

Very awsome with the odd time signatures wow.

[@echt35]

Is this possible with two hands??

[@rogierdancona8462]

yes, very much Jordan does more than one sound with one touch of the finger often and he is the best in the world at what he does so yea

[@Wilzyy]

Remember that the Piano part is Yellow. Red is the Guitar and Blue the Bass.

[@arvaakuka8568]

One colour is played with one hand or other instruments. But you cant play all of the colour with 2 hands

[@GojiraNoKyokai]

Sounds like an epic Castlevania boss battle ^_^

[@returnofthepinballwizard1968]

I had no idea that 2:20-2:40 was both a guitar and a keyboard until I watched this video. For most of my life, I always thought it was two guitars harmonizing with each other.

[@susabove]

1 guitar and 1 bass

[@MarceloBerbel2023]

Depois de 10 anos consegui entender cada linha dessa música. Amei

[@bangunnagoro]

Thank you for sharing this cool stuff

[@mattjshea]

Can you share the midi file?

[@saftobulle]

Man, the arrangement sure is well thought through!

[@Sum0fNothing]

Arguably one of the most difficult pieces in music.

[@drumintercourse]

it changes time signature 100+ times...id like to see someone try to argue a harder song

[@senna01]

drumintercourse Try this one /watch?v=haZ4xRwkRVQ

[@nikerudess540]

senna01 Or this one /watch?v=DekTSh1QmvY

[@christopherclack3984]

Revolutionary Etude?

[@Jay2097]

Sʟᴇɴᴅᴇʀ Mᴀɴ nah, i wouldn't say that'd hard. anyone can add a lot of notes to a midi, but dance of eternity is a real song by a real band that gets played on real instruments by real people.

[@graysonmcdonald8]

I keep coming to this, and every time I try to play it I’m like: maybe I’ll be able to play this later. I still can’t play it.

[@sallydboy]

HOLY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!!!! rudess's colors really shine here (including yellow)

[@ethaninwhite]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been trying to find a way to learn this for a while now.

[@CoolGuyWithShoesOn]

I watched this video about 20 times

[@Dpianoa]

probably 80 here :)

[@lt.charley3971]

AMAZING!

[@DefaultSteeple]

The final boss theme...of a madman.

[@Noxxys]

Watch this video for the whole duration and then scroll down to the comments for a nice optical illusion.

[@gsjatrinity]

Hi Bro.... I already download synthesia, what site to download this song? Help me please~

[@ROVAKAN]

if you watch it for about 4 minutes when you look somewhere else your sight feels wierd :D

[@Nike9823]

Actually when you watch the whole video and when the video ends it's like the recommended videos at the end are moving up...

[@パイピーナット]

fans: what time signature is your next song going to be in Dream Theatre: yes

[@fyighfreak]

Aside from the obvious mistakes, VERY nice job.

[@kjhkjh0830]

amazing!

[@MySpaceBarsBroken0o]

Is there any way to get the MIDI of this?

[@g46psk]

could you please make a whole album?

[@kaioxys]

my fave part actually is about 12 seconds into the omitted part :/ but my second favorite is 2:20-2:40

[@AdySejatiMusic]

Anyone knows where to get the keyboardless and drumless version of this song? Let me know..

[@firstname_lastname3507]

0:52 the best part :)

[@tiagotele1]

Awesome!

[@alextavares2601]

Hi Oliver Lacono! Can you share the midi file? Please.

[@applejacks971]

This is JUST like 'Kaboom' on my Atari 2600!!

[@kamalazam666]

a black midi versiin pls.. that hv 4 billion notes! haha

[@CrisAaG]

I love when the three play the same, accompanied by the god Mike Portnoy 5:00

[@diegodru]

Is it possible to play it if you only have 2 hands?

[@Q0fu]

Diego Salvador you know it isnt all keyboard

[@Luaporleafcutterant]

Berkay Çınar Only Yellow is keybord, I think

[@garethsweetday175]

Waaaoowww... This expert

[@fazazidna12]

make the illumination theory please

[@consterus]

I think there should be three hands to play this. It is impossible physically to play it. I doubt that Jordan Rudess plays this. It should be easier. Only red and yellow parties are possible to play (the blue one is not necessary)

[@storingjazzinmycheeksforth5319]

screw the fact I'm only on grade 2 piano, I'm learning this.

[@nonchalantree6604]

midi download pls?

[@PenaceaID]

imagine if this piece were a national anthem.

[@ASCM1PT]

Por favor si compartiría el midi se lo agradecería bastante.

[@maddiec7165]

I wanted to learn this to impress my brother who says I'll never play this because I suck but my dreams of showing him up have officially been crushed. Oh well.

[@stonedbynoon2072]

PoweredByBacon don't give up

[@bandmasterakosirayjim5934]

sir can i have the midi file of this track?? thanks :)

[@nonchalantree6604]

where'd you get the soundfont? I want it plz

[@calgaras]

holy cow.

[@shiningarmor2838]

5:26 was that Rush - Freewill's riff that was ripping off?

[@opossumoutlaw7534]

if you actually watch the video of dream theater showing the time signatures off, they landed that riff the rush riff, so yes that's most likely it.

[@opossumoutlaw7534]

+Mutton Bash labeled*

[@Jarheeead]

Thank you so much, this guide makes me more confused with thia song.

[@manueltson]

Change the yellow for green and you have Din, Nayru and Farore.

[@marcon31]

2:02 is wrong, that little thing that's red, is actually played on keyboard

[@muso123456]

nah it's a sweep pick on guitar

[@marcon31]

Oliver Iacono yeah actually I think you're right :)

[@lordmusician]

@2:04

[@chrisklecker]

I'm sure this is the track they practice to until they get the sync just right. :D

[@JimenezMusicPro]

Can you share the midi, please?

[@DCuchillas]

Hello, can you send me the midi file?

[@mcswitchy]

My timestamp 0:50 0:58 1:38 0:07 2:24

[@Yarin-ur8og]

Blue = bass, green = guitar, yellow = ydrums?

[@DanielVerberne]

This starts looking like a nightmarish version of Tetris after a while ....

[@ItsThatToolGuy]

Yo, is there any way you could email me the sheets for this?

[@jcdenton616]

HOLY CRAP

[@toolcover3427]

3.08 holy lord !!!

[@TheRaunak666]

If you can play this you're a fucking robot. Period.

[@Dunbello]

2:10

[@ΤασοςΓ-τ3ψ]

Ωραια μελωδια!

[@nazbr01]

Is that jabbas theme??

[@TheBlackQueen]

This video is messing with my vision, I legit am seeing a moving comment section after scrolling down.

[@RafaelMorenoSaavedra]

Do you have the midi file?

[@russelrenznerosa8969]

How the heck there's still 8 dislikes?

[@applejacks971]

Former keyboard players...

[@joeturton6627]

I'm grade 3 and I'm trying to learn this. I haven't gotten very far.

[@SergioRTvisual]

May God!!!! :O

[@ziomatthewmusic4205]

My answer when anyone tells me that piano is easy.

[@ziomatthewmusic4205]

This and dragonforce

[@aldanneranelledawang2863]

Imagine jordan rudess’es fingers

[@drumrgonewild]

Piano Hero final song to beat the game

[@FilippoVitaleIT]

2:02 🎹

[@roolee2k]

how the hell Jordan play this song.......

[@keremtatar7304]

With his hands i guess

[@coldguto]

The parts by jordan are in yellow Blue and red are bass and guitar, respectively, they're just transcribed to MIDI

[@armas_ectos]

I mean, it would have been enough to just have this be the keyboard part alone...

[@stefistefistef]

Dear God. I quit playing piano.

[@後藤伊吹-w7k]

2:01

[@merickutan1332]

İts not possible with two hands.maybe 4 or 5

[@padgemahaj3167]

This would make Beethoven shit himself

[@Rafomonster]

HOW IN HELL YOU PLAY THIS

[@ステイフーリッシュ]

糞ムズ😂

[@echt35]

Is this possible with two hands??

[@GustavoTZR]

Yes

[@dualcarnage7299]

Dennis Miltenburg No, only the piano part, here you have drum and guitar too.
