IMO, the best drum outro ever for an album.

[tubadude]

one can dream but a whole Metropolis II breakdown/playthrough would be amazing.

[volkanoztuzun]

This is the song that made me and I think so many others fell in love with Mike's drumming and the fact that he still has it after so many years is crazy to me. Blessed to have Portnoy in this lifetime!

[unclerhombus]

His drum outro on Finally Free from the Scenes From New York DVD was absolutely mind-blowing to me back in the day. It’s killer.

[thebeard]

The version from "Live Scenes" is freaking ridiculous. The fact that the show goes another almost 2 hours after this ending is insane.

[bigheavyshoe]

Mike Portnoy out here reminding everyone he still gangsta

[menezesadv]

The most melodic rack and floor toms in Heavy Metal. Absolutely amazing sound!

[gurhant]

The best drum outro mankind ever seen...

[danielirish]

The sound he achieves from his chinas, max stax, bells, splashes and set in general is above all others. Portnoy is the best drummer in my world

[TheAikara]

Seeing him play this again brings a smile to my face!

[davssnarok]

The king is where he should always be, on his throne. What a beast <3

[raepheles]

Metropolis Part 2 is one of my favorite albums and for whatever reason I always listen to the entire album at least once on long road trips. An amazing ending for an amazing album.

Stop the world! New Mike Portnoy episode on Drumeo!

[Bacher]

This was always my favorite DT song. The drums are just ridiculous. Theres's emotion flying off those sticks man.

[GareginAmyanArt]

How i love his signature fills !!! the living LEGEND

[rasputinf]

fun fact: he plays something different in each live version

[d_soup]

Metropolis Pt.2 is one of my favorite albums ever, so happy Mike Portnoy is back with DT.

[alexglezarch]

It's not finally free, it's just the end of finally free. Fantastic end.

[colinburroughs]

Gavin Harrison and MP remind me to not crank smaller toms- they pop more with a looser tension. Classic playing. One of those things that makes people want to play the drums. That's why MP is a legend.

"Put it in front of me. I'll hit it." -- Mike Portnoy, probably.

Wow! I've never listened to Dream Theater before, but seeing these videos of Mike's drumming makes me want to listen to more.

Thank you Mike and Drumeo!
