Mike with a new drum DVD! True or false?

 I read someplace that Mike is about to make a new instruction DVD called "Constant in Motion" or something to that effect.

Is is true? I dont find anything about this on the forum or on his webpage, so its mostly false?

-We need some more Rockjuice!

Yes. He mentioned it on Eddie Trunk's show last week.

 Ah!

Thats such good news! know anything abouth when and what it will contain?

-We need some more Rockjuice!

Stuff about drums

BRING IT!!!

I don't think he's mentioned anything about it yet, except that it will feature a fair amount of live footage, including a few of the drum solos he's done where he's shared his kit with various famous drummers. I'm guessing other parts will contain stuff about general rock and progressive drumming, illustrated by partial or complete runthroughs of DT songs (and possibly songs from other MP projects). That's just an educated(?) guess though, of course.

He's gonna strip naked, smear himself with paste, make a play-dough replica of his Albino Monster which he'll place in the center of the room, light it on fire and dance around it as a sacrifice to the drum gods to the tune of Tiny Tim's "tiptoe through the tulips" as done by Gorgoroth.
 

Sheesh... you moon the wrong person at work and suddenly you're not "professional" anymore...

 I CANT WAIT!

Yeah! 5 hours
Thx Mike :)

Presuming there's a dedicated studio shoot like in LDT, I hope it's at the same place. Beartracks I think? I guess it's only a minor detail, but the atmosphere in that place is cool.

 MIKE POSTED IN MY THREAD!!! This thread is going up on the wall!

-We need some more Rockjuice!

I thought is was at Allaire Studios...

GREEEEEEEAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 hrs!!!!!
 
We have a 5, now I wonder where the 8 is.

Can't wait to see this!!  It's going to be INCREDIBLE!!!

There is no other band like Dream Theater. They are the quintessential musicians of our time, and the best band I've ever heard. The music industry wouldn't be the same without them.

GREAT!!!  but when.  tell us when

Yeah, but is there going to be a commentary or bonus footage?






Sounds insane... I can't wait, and I don't even play drums

Holy CRAP, I can't wait to get this DVD!!!!!! This plus the new DT CD?!?!? Mike is too good to us!!

Holy freakin shit!  5 HOURS!!!!!!!!  Mike you spoil us, really you do.  I'm getting this the day it comes out.

Likely or Not it's a Dream that We Keep and at Odds with our Senses we Climb. But if Faith is the Answer then we've Already Reached It and if Spirit's a Sign then it's Only a Matter of Time

I'll most likely buy this DVD!
 
I'm not much of a student of the drums anymore (been playing 25 years or so and have many other things in life that compete for my time), but in a few-year span, I got the instructional vids for Neil Peart, Carter Beauford and Mike, and MP's was the ONLY one that I actually got something out of, which was his use of double bass. 
 
The way he slowed things down in real time on the DVD, as opposed to the slow-mo video of Neil and (I think) Carter, made learning some of what Mike does possible - it's now part of my toolbox.
 
Great to hear you have another coming out, Mike.  I'm there!

That's five hours so far

Agreed.

Woah! 5 hours?!? what can it be said about drums in 5 hours?!? Hour 4 minute 23... "well um... yeah... this are my sticks... i tried to use them to eat some chinese once... I kept banging my teeth... so that was that..." Hour 4 minute 40... "ummm eeeh... this is a chemical test done to one of my loogies... and ummm I dunno what any of it means... but I keep it under my pillow anyways..."

WARNING! reading this users posts may cause falling in loveness with him.

So I was at a show in Wallingford, CT on March 29, 2006 and I was sitting about 13 rows back, and I could see a little camera hovering around Mike the entire time. It seemed that it wasn't showing the footage of that camera on the screens, so after I went to the tourography to see if it said anything about the extra camera, if they were filming for something, and sure enough, it says "The entire Wallingford show was filmed by Hudson Music for a new, upcoming MP instructional video" Now whether or not the whole show is on there remains to be seen. However, he did do a drum duet with Jason Bittner of Shadow's Fall, so the will def. be on there. Here's the setlist for everyone, enjoy!
 




 
In the Name of God outro (intro tape)
1.  The Root of All Evil
2.  Another Won
3.  Afterlife
4.  Pull Me Under
5.  The Mirror
6.  Lie
7.  Speak to Me
8.  Home/
9.  drum solo/drum duet with Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall)
~~~intermission~~~
10.  The Glass Prison
11.  This Dying Soul
12.  Never Enough
13.  Octavarium
~~~encore~~~
14.  Metropolis pt 1

BTW, if "Speak To Me" is on the DVD, you might be able to hear me... when James introduced it, I was literally the only guy around me (and I was close to the front) who made any noise, and I was screaming my head off. Apparently no a whole lot of people in CT know this song, but I love it!
 
Another fun fact about this show is that James forgot the lyrics to "Home" at one point... wicked funny!
 
OK that was my first post, later dooders!

Interesting info. I doubt the whole would be shown.

nice

5 hours!?!?!?! That is going to be amazing.

...

Yeah, bring it on! 

This is GREAT news!!!

Please let it be available in Germany MIKE!!!

Yup, I was at that show as well.  It was an amazing show and I'd love for the whole thing to be on there, but I doubt that the whole show will be on there, even if it is 5 hours long.

I was at the one with the drum solo w/ Charlie Benante. Is there anyone who had the honor of being at all 3 shows (Benante, Richard Christy AND Jason Bittner)?
