CKS showed me this a few days back, and I got such a good giggle out of it, I thought I'd share it with you. It might be old news to some, but it's worth it if it's not. Enjoy!

He was having fun and that's what matters :p

I may have peed a little.

His style is a little different, is all.

It is kind of impressive that he does all that and still gets the rhythm and such pretty much perfect, but... yeah... Bit different, that.

Hmm... the video appaers to be deleted. :(

However, it's always amazing to see great drummers have fun.
Personally, I've had the pleasure of watching this guy live three times.
The best bit starts around 4 minutes in...

Fixed the first vid.

Thanks, Jason. :)


Haha, that's a hell of a lot of choreography for such a simple song (on drums, anyway)... what I'd call a show. Which is good.

I had a feeling this thread would be about Portnoy just from the title.

Dream Theater is basically win. Petrucci, Rudess and Portnoy are legendary at each of their respective instruments, and the sheer precision of their performances, while they're still there having fun, is great.

Heh, it totally wasn't originally...

I believe I saw this drummer features in one of RWJ's (RayWilliamJohnson) videos on YouTube. Must admit, was funny as hell when I saw it.

That guy is a looney in the first post. I do like the Mike Portnoy video though. He's a drum God!

[CemeteryGates]

Kino, are you a drummer by any chance? Your avatar seems to suggest so. :)

[Kino]

No I'm no drummer. I am however a guitarist who loves music. That's Jon Bonham in my avatar, the past drummer of Led Zeppelin :)

And people say drummers have stupid faces while playing :O Whaaat?? :D
