The Dance of Eternity but it's FASTER

Doctor: You have only 5 minutes left to live, so I don't think you won't be able to listen to your favourite Dream Theater song.
Me: As a matter of fact, I can.

[manichols]

Wow! James Labrie’s vocals were so clean. I didn’t imagine that would be possible at this tempo!

[Hoot]

I was waiting for 3:10 and nailed it PERFECTLY god damn man :-D

[NecroMoz]

Fun fact: This is how Mangini practices, by speeding everything up so he can play it confidently at normal speed

[andreasbeaufort]

This song is already insanely difficult. Now playing it faster? And THAT MUCH faster?! You're an utter BEAST!

[mattdillon]

...when DT's legendary song with like 120 time signature changes just isn't quite challenging enough... lmao!

[T-smbs]

Thank you for showing top down view of the snare/hihat section during the 2:55 shred i always loved this drum part.

[BeardManDrummer]

Can we just appreciate not only the drumming is amazing, but also Samus is 90% of the way to turning into Cousin It?

[rinodb]

I still regularly come back to this video every now and then, it's somewhat hypnotizing, it's weird that it doesn't have more views!

[drumhack]

The wife and kids prefer this version as the song is over a lot sooner…

So I played it at half speed even louder

[shanecoleman]

It's funny.. found this guy a good while back as a reaction YouTube guy.. then I found his videos of his drumming.. I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE!! HIS TIMING IS SO SPOT ON!! I can't give enough love for this guys talents. Make sure you keep up on the blast beats my brother!! LOVE

[clumsyclown]

You yelling at the end just made clear how difficult it was! Great cover!

[mack]

holy shit dude - that 3min mark section was absolutely bananas and TIGHT AF. Well done my Winnipeg brother!

[bmac]

Your face at 0:52 and 3:10 both scream to me an internal realization of "Oh god there's still more to play?" lol

[go_licpgm]

Thank you so much for doing this as a video. Loved it every time you did it on live stream. That ending though....hahahaha \GHOGF/

[midastheunwise]

The coolest drum section of this track just gets even cooler when played at ludicrous speed (2:54 - 3:19)

[ricardoaugusto]

Says its one of the most challenging videos he ever filmed. only "took 3 attempts to nail in a single take".
Meanwhile me taking well over ten attempts to "nail" Enter Sandman lol
You're an absolutely insane drummer! Keep on slaying those drums 🤘🤘

[EzaHazami]

THIS IS GOLD! THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT MAN!

[jables]

That moment at 3 minutes lmao. that was amazing man, congrats on playing the new shortest dream theater song out there!

[ryanoconnor_guitar]

ha! no shit! i came here from metal injection off a random facebook feed.. good for you for getting exposure! ive been watching randomly on and off for the last year. happy to see you getting some exposure mainstream. also, i came for the 2:54 mark and YEP didn't walk away displeased... fucking beast.
