The Dance of Eternity - Mike Portnoy (DRUMS ONLY) [HD]

This Dream Theater song has 104 time signature changes in under six minutes, using very unorthodox signatures such as 7/16 or 15/8.

ENOUGH SAID!!!! :OOO

Probably the hardest song of dream theater. (to perfom, to cover, etc).

How can people hate on Portnoy? He's obviously fucking tight.

[fazlayelahi]

It will take the eternity to understand how to dance with the "Dance with Eternity"

[felphero]

no matter if you hate DT, if you hate Portnoy, if you hate metal, drums...you HAVE to admit 3:42 is just fucking brilliant

[therealanbhv]

Unironically. This is the first song i learnt how to play from scratch when i was 12. Im 22 now and im still learning the nuances of this song.

[madeputra]

I Really like M P' drum playing.
The best for me 🤝😍👍🤩

[CYOND]

I think this is my favorite Portnoy drum tone.

[kwantoon]

The only reason a person could hate Mike Portnoy is out of sheer jealousy. You can dislike his style, but only an asshole would say he sucks. This man is a frickin monster drummer, there isn't much that he does that I wouldn't consider brilliant.

[BZtheAnti]

I have this drum video on VHS lol. Needless to say I haven’t seen this in at least a decade.

[ambercladd]

3:59 You can really see Neil Pearts influence shine through him here

[stephencurtis]

"What time signature is this?"
"Yes."

The Mosh Pit would be a bunch of people running around in circles while solving Calculus.

[kjemradio]

They also use 19/18 meters in a few songs. There is a mathematical equation to break that down to bars and beats.

[mjrupps]

Because someone he really inspired died. That same person also happened to play drums for A7X once upon a time

[khariyanulfathoni]

4 people wanna be him but they're can only dreamin'

[Vitone]

Gauge your drumming level by trying to this song

[dadanrahdian]

I can't sleep due to his play LOL

[osodrums]

It’s not that bad if you have a solid understanding/feel of linear odd time grooves.

Wait.. nvm that’s difficult

[Fluentdrums]

the only song that makes Mike Portnoy say pheeew
