Mike Portnoy - Liquid Drum Theater DVD

Review: What can I say, those who know Dream Theater know of the ability
and prowess of Mike Portnoy. This video is one of the better vid's I have purchased in the world of drum instruction. The only thing I would like to have seen is a cut away view of the kick pedals to understand what was happening at both ends through the instruction. Besides that, it's a MUST HAVE in the collection.

Review: You don't even have to be a drummer to enjoy this set! It is pretty amazing to watch Mike Portnoy work his way thru some of Dream Theater & Liquid Tension Experiment's toughest work. I think Portnoy is probably-along with Ted Kirkpatrick of Tourniquet-the best rock/metal drummer ever. And I'm a fan of Mr. Peart as well. Anyway, there is a lot of material here to enjoy and it's fun to watch him explain the ideas behind different song parts and drum fills. Seriously, this guy is just so much fun to watch, you'll forget you are actually learning something! The highlight for me is the instrumental "Hell's Kitchen" named after the NYC neighborhood. Beautiful. I can see why this was named "Instructional Video of the Year" by a number of drumming publications. Enjoy!
