Mike Portnoy Praises ‘Absolutely Insane’ Dream Theater Cover by 8-Year-Old Drummer

July 9, 2015

A mere two hours after 8-year-old drummer Avery Molek posted his cover of “The Dance of Eternity” on YouTube, Portnoy had it posted on his Facebook page with the caption (note the all caps and three exclamation points), “ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!! MIND BLOWN…..”

In the comment section of his post, one of his Facebook fans asked Portnoy if he could play like that when he was eight, to which the drummer replied “OF COURSE NOT!” We have no doubt the 8-year-old feels the same admiration for Portnoy, as he’s wearing a shirt with the drummer’s face on it during the performance and wrote on YouTube that “Mike’s drumming is freaking crazy” on this song.

Check it out!
