The Ministry Of Lost Souls - Mike Portnoy (DRUMS ONLY)

[@MrNatebain]

Anyone who dislikes this is simply broken ... The absolute ingenuity of what he did with this song is indescribable.

[@erasmorljr]

Well well, that’s me again, watching this masterpiece one more time 15 years … Wonderful!!!

[@lifeisajourney5789]

MP is, like everytime, fully in the flow. His moves are flowing, the music is flowing. Watching him means watching passion at work. The biggest mistake by the other DT-guys was to let him go. He is irreplaceable within DT. This guy is such a big part of the DT-DNA...

[@FanaticDrummer]

Its also because Manginis kit is set up like autism. Completely impractical. Portnoy IS practical. He can play any song 100 different ways and still sounds clean and tight, and free. Mangini spends more time looking for what hes gonna hit than he does just hitting it. Shows that despite all the technique, hes still inexperienced at being “the drummer”. Hes more into the show than the music. And it shows, I havent liked one song since the change up. The bands greed and lack of balls to tell the label “we’ll take a break” showed their lack of humbleness and it took Mike leaving for them to find it again.

[@andersonrezende9174]

When DT held auditions to choose the band's new drummer, I had a preference for Aquiles Priester. A great musician but who at that moment was not going through a good moment of health! And as Mangini was the first to introduce himself and having Steve Vai's curriculum, it was difficult for the other participants. I'm not saying that Mangini is a bad drummer. He's very good. In the last album of the band he showed this and seems to have finally found the balance!

[@youssefelhalaoui9975]

Lets not forget that mp wanted out the first time

[@bozziovai]

@@FanaticDrummer what ?!?!?! the band was greedy during those times ??? they had all the momentum going for them and portnoy wanted a break. at that point portnoy was drained and was left out of ideas. if you're that a fanatic drummer then you should have heard that most of portnoy's drum fills sounded the same. well, he labeled it mike's bags of tricks, but he wasn't able to progress, no more new ideas from him. as for mangini's drumming since his arrival, there's always something new to look forward to. Lost Not Forgotten. The Enemy Inside. A Life Left Behind. Pale Blue Dot. The Alien. these are for me, the stand out drum contributions of Mangini for each album

[@tsadrummer]

Mike Portnoy, master of drums and changing shirts magically.

Best song of the album for me

[@xXbrick84Xx]

In ALL his other videos he talks about how by "drums only" he meant that it ONLY shows MP lol just to clear things up.

[@xfrenz93x]

7:25 to 8:50 I'm learning that no matter how long it freaking takes .

[@harsh1839]

Awesome brother.😍😍

[@MusicMan642]

[@sugayfitriafitria5016]

Mike Portnoy 🥁 main dramer kaya ga punya dosa 😎

[@Jen0os]

Since when did "drums only" mean drums + all other instruments ? :l

[@FanaticDrummer]

People still comment this? It means the camera... Literally drums only, not isolated. Jesus.

[@Mrcrazy80]

@22192Shaggy I hear ya man.

[@tearsofphoenix8]

[@tearsofphoenix8]

@AnalEvisceration88 if could i would do it... i can't find it here in mexico... but thanks... and the comment was for the owner of the video and channel

[@Adrmeisterwerk]

8:51 & 9:17 how the hell he does that polyrhythm

[@myturbulance]

why he can not?

[@kalpkumudkumar8163]

@7.16 drum parts like this used to be DT's biggest quality ...

[@JorgeDiazGuitarFreak]

@Progehr34 yes it is on purpose

[@VicMontDrums]

7:25 Dem octobans.

[@FanaticDrummer]

@tearsofphoenix8 Order it online? either at his website or ebay, amazon. resources man...

[@MariusHenriqueDeLimaFartes]

Drums only? (i'm sorry i had to do it, everybody did) :D

[@alecramseymusic]

@22192Shaggy It's not too hard of a drum part, for me at least... But, there wouldn't be enough pads to play it, you would have to construct an extremely large "Portnoy" set out of 3 or 4 other padded sets. xD

[@DT2BLZ]

@22192Shaggy GH?!! actually is fucking hard on real drums...

[@nekezajebancije]

Do you have any of his original stems - was this video originally with the whole song or only the drums? :)

[@ThomasMetal75]

How is this drums only? Its more like drum view only!

[@joacorejuelamaster]

that sync

[@Thebadsanta1]

@Progehr34 lol this is how the song is.

[@JorgeDiazGuitarFreak]

@tsadrummer He is God

[@橋口楓-s2d]

創設者のマイクが復帰したのであれば、バンドの質を下げてる🎤を入れ替えて、バンドを新たなるレベルアップにすべく改革するだけの権限も復活するのを望む🙏

[@atomixmax]

Drums only?

[@oddmetre]

This song speeds up so much. Compare 0:13 to 12:46 and on... I wonder if this was done on purpose.

[@22192Shaggy]

7:25 to 8:50 would be uber fuckin fun to play on guitar hero on drums.

[@FinalWingz]

11:20 and onward, that part is godlike

[@valda8925]

This isn't drums only

[@ThatCheapDrummer]

1:06 - 1:12 Octavarium??? Almost?

[@intooctavarium]

this is the difference between MP and MM..... come back plz MP

[@ralpholivemusic6272]

I thought Portnoy nailed it with a whole take. It appears to be not. But he's still a monster!
