Mike Portnoy's drum set


Recommended Posts

Although at drums he is god, I have one word to say:

Pointless! (now I'm going to elaborate)

You don't need all that...At least not all those toms. I'm sure all you need are 12. One for each half step of Western Music's 12 pitches.

The trick is to be able to make a set like that sound good and worth having

He does that incredibly

there is absoloutely no functional use for a kit that big.

ok one, it cleary shows everybody exactly how insecure you are. you project fallacious ego by surrounding yourself with a freaudian wall.

I dont knwo about that, listen to dream theater, and u see how skitzo the drums are =) so maybe he does have use

are you listening to the precussion because it relates to the depth of a song, or are you listening to who has the gnarliest chops?

that many pieces do absoloutely nothing by way of essential structure.

it's flash with no substance every time no matter how you spin it.

kinda a waiste i think, a good jazz drummer can get more out a 4 peice set then half these guys can get out of those 360 degrees, 28 symbols shit

agreed, funnily enough.

the picture up there is of brian chippendale from lightning bolt, has a 4 piece, takes drumming to a frightening level.

still, personal taste innit, its either minimalist or overblown. whichever you fancy.
