[@MarcoLizza]

Holy pick! For a moment I thought it was Petrucci himself drum-covering the song! :D

[@PanosGeoCovers]

That would be awesome, right??? :D

[@MarcoLizza]

Indeed it would! :D

[@rfacavalheiro]

Petrucci on drums would be awesome!! Search for DT covering Perfect Strangers and see for yourself.

[@hynekjakl9885]

😂😂👍🏻👍🏻

[@stephm69mtl]

Some drummers make it look harder than it is with facial expressions and body movements. Panos makes it look easier than it is by a lack of facial expression and body movement. Just doing the job. Congrats ! :)

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!

[@markoantonio0816]

oh my god petrucci is playing drums hahaha great great great cover dude.

I respect every note you've made in this video, congratulations guy, I've been following Dream Theater since 1994 and I'm a drummer, I've already spent hours and hours training and recording all the songs and I felt what you played, and that inspires me, Including the small moments that you performed in your way were very well placed, I respect you face, congratulations for this video and also respect for the fans and especially the band. Sorry about my english, I'm Brazilian, so!! hahahahahah congrats.. You have my respect, thank you. And of course, I'm sorry, but sabian are really better, but that's a dicussion for another time. Ahhahahahahahaah It's just a joke, both of them are great

[@PanosGeoCovers]

[@sidmosmosis]

This is flawless, omg. Those 6 and 4 sections where portnoy goes berserk in the "prechorus" was driving me nuts until I saw this video. Now I know for certain I can never play it right 😂😂

[@sidmosmosis]

1:45 this part😂

[@PanosGeoCovers]

One of the few actual good cover of hells kitchen 👌👌👌🤘

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thanks a lot!

[@DrumNaked17]

Nicely done. It took a while to figure out what was going on with your pedals. Must those Schlismann pedals. Great job! Also like the recital hall use. My teachers would never have allowed that.

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thank you, my friend! Glad you like it!
The bass drum pedal is the Giant Step Middle Pedal, by Sonor! Check it out!
Also, I was a teacher in the conservatoire where this concert hall is for 7 years, which is why I was allowed to use it!

[@martintschakert9404]

Amazing I close my eyes and hear Dream Theater without a mistake.

[@PanosGeoCovers]

That's a great compliment!
Thank you, mate!

[@martintschakert9404]

You should name Mike III.

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thank you so much, my friend!

[@hexertion]

Τέλεια δουλειά φίλε. Και η μίξη είναι πολύ καλή.

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε μου!

[@gsxracer1977]

very good, still very impressive fact that a drum teacher has to give himself to the max [look at his face] to follow these drum patterns, even then he misses some of the beats and fills which are originally in the song and makes it flow and dance.. The fact that these drumpatterns were invented and flowed out MP while making this song thats the really impressive part. Also they are like the same age this song came out. But, great job and effort Panos!

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thanks man! There are lots of "behind the scenes" things regarding this video, so not everything you see is exactly how you describe it. But I agree with the main point of your comment, which is that it's very impressive to write those drum parts in the first place, and I'm glad you appreciate the effort I put into making this video! :)

[@UKDrummerDan]

wow solid man :D love it

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Glad you do, man!

[@UKDrummerDan]

i went onto jammit to see if there were any tracks to buy but the site don't seem to be running :(

[@mulberrystreet8090]

Spotless man 🙏🏼

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thank you, Ervin!

[@mulberrystreet8090]

Panos Geo Covers i was 20 years old when i bought this album and now i’m 40 🙏🏼 where did the time go !!

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Time flies, my friend!

[@mulberrystreet8090]

Panos Geo Covers for sure,that’s why i still love rock n’ roll 🙌🏻
But you are great and keep up the good drumming 🙏🏼

[@PanosGeoCovers]

That's true!
Thanks a lot! I will! ;)

[@danyoder1288]

Siiiick dude.

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thanks, man!

[@mcdrummer9648]

really nice job. Drums sound and look great. They Sonor? Was hard to tell. You clearly put a lot of time into perfecting this tune. I do wish youtube would take the thumbs down sign off. If someone doesn't like something fine, but they don't need to do that. How 14 people couldn't like this is mindboggling. Keep rocking.

[@PanosGeoCovers]

Thanks a lot, my friend! I appreciate it!
Yes, the kit is the Force 3007 model by Sonor!

[@MotoChetor]

You're a drum crack men, congratulations for this performance...greetings from Mexico!

Hi panos! Was wondering what snare you use. Sounds beautiful. Love the vids, keep it up 🤘🏻
