The Dance of Eternity - Chris DeChiara (Dream Theater cover)

#dreamtheater #mikeportnoy #drumcover *Just posted a version with the complete drum transcription if you want to check that out! Last year (2023) I decided to finally learn this epic instrumental by Dream Theater. I learned it in small chunks so I wouldn't feel too overwhelmed with the whole six and a half minutes. Once I got the whole thing down, I got into my "my mix will never be good enough for this tune" stage and put this off for way too long. I knew that I didn't want to keep thinking about this into the new year so I just simply got it done. This is a beast and never ends. But it's very fulfilling and now it needs to be played it live...😅 Any takers? I hope you enjoy it! For a better audio experience, strap on some headphones.
