Round discussion
can we get that song without drums somewhere? and should we upload just drum track or whole mix?
I'm afraid the song without drums has not been released. I think there are transcripts hanging around the Internets though.
And upload just the drum track; it's easier to mix it then than to isolate it :-)
But if you post the whole mix, also OK.
does it have to an audio file? or can we make a video?
Hi Owen, if you make a video, post the link as a comment. But the submission itself should be an mp3.
I will definitely do this. I would certainly be interested in becoming DT's new full-time drummer, not because of the opportunity but for the purpose of creating interesting and flavorful music. Please forgive me if I sound like a "rockstar", is there any way I could get an audition with the band as this will be more of an intimate session to lock in that chemistry? Thank you and God bless
Has anybody checked out the first video that has been posted? It's damn near flawless!
@eccentricity_contained: sorry, I cannot arrange for a personal meeting with the band at the moment
Please check out other performances of Acacio Carvalho. I think you will definitely view him as a contender for the position as new drummer for Dream Theater.

It's cool to the the first person to step in the ring and boldly say he wants to drum for Dream Theater. Great video! Great performance! JOB WELL DONE!

This is some awesome drumming! He's definitely a contender to replace Mike Portnoy.

I'm not overly impressed in honesty, sounds like a power metal drummer. Left foot slower than the right and not playing the atual drum beat (never mind the improv) seen some other vids he seems alright but deffo a speed drummer rather than progressive

i like the power metal drumming in this song, its so new wave progressive (im tired of 70s progressive)...

Dunno. I think if he likes to play Dream Theater's material and brings a touch of another style like Power Metal into it, I'm all excited to hear it.
