Speaking of Mike Portnoy, his favorite band is The Beatles, he has a Beatles tribute band called Yellow Matter Custard.

I watched those auditions a while back and a few times since I first saw them. That was a great insight into their process. Very enjoyable to watch. I have always been a fan of Mike Mangini and do enjoy his style because his personality really comes through in his playing.

I played heavy metal in the 80's on the same bills when the big names came to town (SF). I noticed some of those guys taped silver dollars to their bass drum beaters to simulate hitting hard.

Kinda' like a shredder guitarist. If that clip would've been my introduction to drumming, I'd have bought an Oboe.

Ha! Good one.

Ditto to all of the above. Unless you play this kind of music all the time, what's the point? No dynamics to the playing, it's all-out, all the time at the same volume and speed. It gets boring quickly. Just doesn't fit my taste in music, or drumming. To each his/her own.John

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I need to lose about 30 pounds and this looks like great exercise. It's like using your drum kit as a universal gym.

I wouldn't do it outside of my basement though. There's no musical value. I hope his in-concert drum solo doesn't resemble that.

Hope I didn't come off as bad mouthing what these guys do. I appreciate the effort, time and dedication to get to that high of a technical level. I prefer drummers who lay in a groove or in a crack beside a groove that sounds musical.

Believe it or else!

This is my idea of extreme drumming. It has parts that are extremely over the top yet musical at the same time. The metal guys blasting double kick away at 300 BPM is impressive, but I'll take Larnell Lewis's drumming on this track any day. Its been a long time since I've been this enamored and inspired by a musical group. Top Notch!!!
