Not sure if this video of this Deden Noy kid covering Metropolis on a homemade kit has been posted here, but it’s super fun, and Mike just tweeted that he’s working with Tama and Sabian to get him his own real kit.

My friend showed me this recently and I thought it was cool how he made his drum kit. Shows you just need innovation and the will power to create what you can not afford.

That video actually came up in my Youtube feed last week. It was fantastic.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

It's probably been posted before (it's a video from last June) but MP talks about reconnecting with JM, and if he would ever write an autobiography.

I love how he said he stopped doing interviews as he's literally answering questions  :lol I mean, I do understand what he means, but still.  If a journalist wants to ask him questions, seems they can just buy a cameo.

Well at least MP would make some pretty decent cash if a journalist wants to go that route!   :lol
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Is it a good thing when the artist knows you and chants your name before answering the question?  I don't know... :)

I still get all giggly when I'm doing an interview and the artist calls me by name, so YES

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the DT Score show, Mike has released a drum cam with isolated drums and Vox video on his YouTube!

Damn. I was at that show. Life sure goes by fast.

I'll watch this over the weekend.
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
WELP.

I've had the drumcam DVD for Score since it was released but haven't seen it for years. What really stands out to me is just how much fun Mike is having.

Also, 15 years since going to the US for the first time to see this show. Where has the time gone? I think I've been about 8 or 9 times since then to watch the Browns :hat

I've watched this countless times, such a legendary moment for the band. It will always keep fighting with Live Scenes from New York as to which is my favorite live DVD. I totally love Budokan as well, but JLB isn't at his best there.

It's 99 albums. The next album with MP's name on it will be #100, and it appears it might be the new album from The Neal Morse Band.

Nice. I really can't figure out why he doesn't start some kind of regular Youtube/podcast thing talking about music. He's pretty engaging to listen to talking about everything music-related and could concentrate on one or two bands per episode.

I thought the same thing a few episodes back. Something like the Album years that Steven Wilson is doing but maybe get more into depth with the albums and/or artists

He did it sometime during the shutdown. I’m pretty sure I shared a link to a song a few pages back.

Here it is!

According to MP’s Facebook post, he’s playing drums on this new track by ... Enuff Z’nuff?

Mike clarified in the comments that Chip Z’Nuff is married to his cousin. Small world!
