 Current news: (11/5/2011) - Mike has finished his 2nd tour since joining Dream Theater - one European and one USA tour. He received amazing response from everyone at every show, and each night was a total thrill for him! Thanks for all the support! - He has about a month before he goes back to finish the US Leg and to play Mexico. The European tour starts in late January in Helsinki. - Clinic in Nashville on Nov. 15th at Forks Drum Closet. Info here. - Filming a video for Pearl for their NAMM booth.

Lots of vids are popping up on YouTube - some good footage.

The first song has alread been released via RoadRunner Records' YouTube channel for streaming: (5/2/2011) - Perhaps the biggest music news in recent (or ancient!) prog-rock history:  He's still pinching himself, and is beyond grateful for this opportunity. The news was released on Friday, April 29th, when RoadRunner Records & Dream Theater released the 3rd video of a 3-part documentary series showing the drummer-audition process that took place. There are several links to check in relation to this most interesting set of events! Here are a few: Dream Theater - Drummer Audtion Vid Part 1 of 3 Dream Theater - Drummer Audtion Vid Part 2 of 3 Dream Theater - Drummer Audtion Vid Part 3 of 3 Mike - interview with DRUM! Magazine Mike - interview with Modern Drummer Magazine (scroll down) Mike - interview with DRUMHEAD Magazine - Along those lines, Mike has finished recording all of his drum tracks for the new Dream Theater album (brace yourselves!), and he is currently working away at the vast and wondrous DT catalog. He looks forward to both honoring Mike Portnoy's legendary drum parts, as well as adding his own phenomenal touch. We can all look forward to Dream Theater madness on a whole new level! - Pearl is currently finishing up the touches on two custom kits for Mike. Your jaws will drop - these kits are going to be monstrous works of art! - Tours will soon start! If you don't see tour dates here, you can always check DreamTheater.net/tourdates.php for that info. - Obviously Mike has his hands full, and is no longer able to teach at Berklee. He will deeply miss the students and faculty there! - Mike's Rhythm Knowledge site/store shall be up and running asap! Please be patient, those who may be waiting to order these wonderful books/CD's! |
