在前卫金属乐坛打拼多年的Mike Portnoy,将成为继Neil Peart(rush乐队鼓手)之后荣登世界鼓王宝座的大师级乐手,已是世界乐坛的共识。此项共识不仅是因为梦剧院乐队在商业上的巨大成功,更是由于他对音乐的无限探索以及对鼓演奏技法革命性的创新。作为一名国际知名鼓手,Mike同样因为他的才能和成就而被乐迷广泛接受。 Mike Portnoy, who has been playing for years in the avant-garde metal music scene, will become the master musician who has won the throne of world drums after Neil Peart (rush band drummer), which has become the consensus of the world music scene. This consensus is not only due to the commercial success of the Dream Theater band, but also because of his endless exploration of music and his revolutionary innovations in drum playing techniques. As an internationally acclaimed drummer, Mike is also widely accepted by fans because of his talent and accomplishments.
