Hey guys! Here I finally am with the last chapter of the Suite :)
It's been an amazing journey and I'm glad I did the whole thing...thank you for requesting it!
This is my rendition of Dream Theater's The Shattered Fortress, from the album Black Clouds and Silver Linings, the band's last studio album with Mike Portnoy on board before his "departure" in 2010.
As you may know, this is part of DT's Twelve-step Suite (a set of 5 songs which deal with MP's past experience of alcoholism) and the song features the last three parts (“Restraint,” “Receive,” “Responsible”). It is the Suite's "grand finale" and it includes parts, melodies and lyrics from all the previous 4 songs.
As usual, for this video I used a similar drumset configuration to the one that MP used in the studio (and then live for the last tour with DT!) to record the album back in 2008/09. The double bass is back and I finally used 4 octobans for this last one...sooo fun to play those, too bad it is only for a couple drum fills though :(
Anyway, I had a blast learning all the parts and this song is really fun to play, it includes many things from MP's bag of tricks and it definitely is one of my favourites!
Alright, that's all folks...enjoy, let me know what you guys think and, as always, thanks for the support!
