Other than the stick flipping, I don't see anything amazingly special....
Give any drummer worth his salt a kit sounding that good, and of that size, and they can do exactly the same...(this is my opinion as a drummer)

for all those who dont know, this is the drummer from dream theater, and he is one of the best drummers ever. its a shame you cant hear the bass drum very well coz he uses it incredibly well. if there are any drummers out there, like you akimbywhatever, then i strongly recommend you get a hold of some dream theater material, or even some of his tuitional dvds, like preogressive drum concepts, or 10 degrees of turbulent drumming. you wont be disspapointed.

Same Wiz, my 50-year old father still drums metal.
These guys are alright, I just never got into them. Neil Peart from Rush is a little better, I'll post some.

Oh yeah, that bass guitar was just sick.

he's not the best, but he DEFINITELY has style. my favorite drummers are Daniel Erlandsonn (Arch Enemy) and the guy from Opeth...if any of you guys have any material from Opeth, that would probably be a good post.

You should get a proper song before judging Portnoy - Hell's Kitchen isn't particularly good to be judging him on. Try listening to Honor thy Father or This Dying Soul - The Dance of Eternity. Though it would be better to get a solo where he isn't retricted by the song.

Don't say he sucks because he isn't fast or heavy either - he can go fast - very fast if he wanted but the genre of his music - Progressive metal requires him to be more technical.

As for Arch enemy, I like their singer and their guitarist better. Portnoy - I think is the best in the world.

Dream Theatre is allright. The drummer is not fantastic though atleast not in this video. John Petrucci is a douche though.

didn't see anything amazing other than is extremely expensive and overly awsome drum setup. i don't know any real drummer that wouldn't give one of their nutz for that set.
