Sometimes he doesn’t flip it back at all. He has two drumstick bags. One on is left, the other on his right. The bag on his left, he always has the sticks pointing face down for, like you said, power. And the other bag are always facing up. And his sticks always have, clear tips. For that clear crisp sound on the rides and Max Stacks ( 3 different size splashes stacked on top of each other)

Fans have been rejoicing at the recent reunion of Portnoy and John Petrucci. After many years apart, Portnoy has recorded drums for Petrucci's latest solo album. There is something reassuring and comfortable in hearing those two together for people who grew up with them in Dream Theater. Great pocket player in the context of prog metal.

The video of him playing "The Great Debate" is so much more reaction-worthy. A truly great display of his dynamics, arrangement, and sense of melody behind the kit. Not to say this is a bad song or performance... Mike is dope and a super nice guy!
@evanescence2022 3 жыл бұрын
The reason he flips the stick around at 9:20 is so that when he's riding the ride cymbal, the hits are more evenly toned. From documentaries that I've seen, Mike plays most of the time with his left stick inverted because he likes the sound he gets from the snare with it that way... but if he was riding that ride with one stick inverted, the left stick would sound a bit louder than the right stick.

What makes portnoy so incredible is his ability to play technically, but still pocket super hard. A lot of technical drummers are super dead on grid.. but he keeps it just loose enough to pocket

9:30 If you listen, you can hear how much the snare sound changes when he flips the stick front to back. It’s such a massive change in the sound, and him playing with the stick back to front is a major reason why his snare sound has always been INSANELY good.

“You don’t just do that!” That’s the exact moment I became a huge fan. My friend said I should check out dream theater because I was into complicated bass arrangements. I went to a and b sound and bought train of thought on a whim and as I am is the first track. The solo followed by that drum fill section out of it.... I didn’t even realize music could be like that until then.

Hands down, one of my favorite DT tracks. Mikey was Dream Theater’s soul. Here’s why he fits so well in the track, doing a lot, but never too much. You should listen to John Petrucci’s last solo album, they’re a perfect duo. It’s a shame that they split, because the entire vision DT had was Mike’s brainchild. Think about the “Twelve Step Suite”. Five songs, five albums, one concept. And the five songs stuck perfectly in every album concept. That’s crazy.

Id never heard of DT or Mike Portnoy until 2007. They were motivated by RUSH in their early days as I was as well. When I first saw Portnoy play live on DVD (Score tour) I thought, what a cocky guy! Soon after I realized he has every right to be. I still hate that he left DT in 2010, but I get it. Studio, tour, studio, tour, studio, tour. After 25 years of this, it can get a little old to some musicians. It took me a while before I could play along to DT songs, but has improved my drumming immensely. Now I’m 55 and I really have to be prepared to play along with Portnoy’s DT days......

He flipped the stick @ 9:20 because he would needed the tip later to do the 16th notes on the ride cymbal, so that it would sound consistent (compared w/right hand) Also, his signature sticks are with nylon tips, which they sound bright and crispy on the ride cymbal. He flipped back later because there was no need anymore and, as you said, he might want the flat and heavy sound on the snare.

I recommend watching him play The Great Debate. Loads to listen and see. Amazing.

Yea, definitely. That’s one of his best and most difficult songs. The fast tempo is relentless and exhausting to play.

Was riding the ride, when he flipped the stick back towards end of song.

Regarding the Metallica references, this entire album (train of thought) is quite metallica-esk and is a bit of a outlier among the rest of Dream Theaters albums. They loved the reactions they got from the crowd during the heavier sections of their songs so they decided to write a full album like that. You gotta do 'the Dance of Eternity.'!

Gerry Mercer of April Wine (a Canadian band) played with the butt end in his left hand. One time at a jam night I got to play drums with his sticks. He had a pair of sticks which were rather special. There was a brand of sticks (I can't remember the company name) which had kind of like a bulb lathed into them at just behind where you would hold on to them. They were designed so that one could play with a super relaxed grip and not worry about the sticks flying out one's hands. Anyway, I don't know if he was an endorser but his pair had one stick with a butt on both ends so that he could take advantage of the bulb design and still play with the butt in his left hand for the back beats. Just a little factoid which might interest you. Keep up with the fun videos.

John pertrucci used to refer to portnoy as "the camel" because he had a habit of spitting across the stage. So bad in fact, that john had to have a perspex cover over his amps. 😂

He flipped the drumsticks when he was riding off the symbol and the hi-hat and then when he was going back to the snare he flipped it back.

Not because "no more rim clicks", but because he was going to play 16ths on ride so he flipped the tip end of the stick (09:50)
@Kevin_Ruz 3 жыл бұрын
This. He flips it arround to the tip.end when he starts to play more technical stuff. For the better clarity
