Mike Portnoy Takes The Prog Rock Quiz

Here's a fun little video to test your knowledge. I did better than Portnoy, but I would wouldn't I? I got about 10/15.  How many did you get right?

Warning: That Mike Portnoy has a dirty dirty mouth and loves his language to reflect its filth.

VIDEO: Gavin Harrison - The Sound Of Muzak

As I work on my Porcupine Tree album review, I thought I would share this video with you. PT's drummer Gavin Harrison has to be one of the best, if not the best, in the industry today. Having seen him and the rest of the band play here in Toronto last week I was reminded of just how insanely easy he makes it look. Here is a solo drum performance from Modern Drummer 2008. If you are reading this blog I might have to assume you are familiar with this track (if not then run out and grab a copy of In Absentia right now!) The guy seems almost bored pulling out all the stops on some of these fills.

Enjoy!
