    Ok, after wiping the drool off my keyboard. Definitely very impressive. I wish I had half a pinky of his talent. That for the inspirational video!

    what amazes me more than his speed is his creativity with his left hand while playing beats

    Not the best, but I've definitely been overimpressed by Portnoy before. The guy has certainly proven himself a metal god.

    I just saw Dream Theater, Mike Portnoy's current band, at the Gibson Ampitheater a few weeks ago. My teacher had alot of extra tickets, about 250, so I went for free He is a good drummer but his drumming is not complicated. His fills are easy when you slow them down. They sound really cool the way he does them because of all those toms he has I can mimick his drumming. I really like how he puts his fills in the right place though. You should get his DVD called "Liquid Drum Theater". It has really good music on there and it is just him playing drums.

    same with his newer one in constant motion and he breaks down how he does absolutely everything, its way educational and way fun to watch
    play till the day i die. it makes more sense that way.
