DVD Reviews of Mike Portnoy - Liquid Drum Theater DVD
DVD Review: Weak Entertainment and less Educational
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD is okay if you just want to watch Mike Portnoy play the songs on the album, but it does not offer much more than an explanation a few songs. I personally feel that Portony's playing is dynamically limited, and his bass drum chops are weak.
For a great DVD for entertainment and great exercises to improve your chops, control and independence, I recommend Thomas Lang's Creative Control.
DVD Review: Exceptional quality!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just ordered In Constant Motion, but I've had this DVD for a number of years. It has an exceptional amount of substance and quality. The disc with the Dream Theater tracks is phenomenal! THe LTE stuff is pretty cool and Mike really knows how to break the complexities of his drumming down.DVD Review: Excellent instruction and demonstration, especially in odd time signatures.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd never really heard Dream Theater 3000's music until watching this double set. Honestly, I'm not a fan of their music style.
But as a drummer, I continually go back to this for reference and technique. Portnoy is amazing...hands down! And the video is well made. He breaks down a wide variety of specific licks, grooves and fills throughout the 2 disc set.
I really like this because it gives me a fresh perspective on odd time signatures and fills. I'm used to playing either 4/4 or 6/4, most of the time, and this DVD brings a new challenge and a new dimension to my playing.
Bottom Line: Highly recommended for any drummer who studies techniques of others, especially if you want to expand in odd time signatures.
DVD Review: Superbly good drum teachings
Summary: 5 Stars
Very comprehensive and most importantly fun. Don't take my words for it. Polled in a certain drummer magazine as one of the best instructional drumming dvds. 2 thumbs up!!!DVD Review: Great exercising feature
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of you who were wondering how the h*** Mike Portnoy creates, rehearses and performs the drums either with Dream Theater or Liquid Tension Experiment, if you want really good tips about timing, odd timing, double bass execution or memorizing really complex pieces of music, you must watch this documentary/exercise dvd.
