| | Mike Portnoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | When recording on Octavarium began, Mike brought along the Hammer of the Gods kit, resulting in the kit being used for part of the album: he ended up using it on five of the album's eight tracks. | | | Portnoy has won 19 awards from Modern Drummer magazine, including "Best recorded performance" (5 times) and "Best Progressive Rock Drummer" (10 times in a row), making him the youngest drummer (at 37 years of age) to be inducted into their Rock Drummer Hall of Fame. | | | Portnoy names his biggest influences as Rush drummer Neil Peart, and composer/guitarist Frank Zappa. |

Mike has a few tricks himself, to be revealed on an upcoming instructional video from Hudson Music. |

| | Portnoy is the WORST of the Progmetal drummers. | | | Portnoy is just more popular, and I've found that his drum sound sucks....on top of that, their only GOOD Songwriter was Kevin Moore and He jumped ship right after Images and Words....and he wound up working with Fates Warning. | | | IMNSHO that's their best release as far as Songwriting goes, and Portnoy was lagging on that one! |

| | The Mike Portnoy Drum Clinic - 11/18/98 |
| | Mike played a 'Drums in Music' medley he had put together. | | | Video and audio taping was allowed, and as usual you could hear about half the crowd cursing for leaving their equipment at home. | | | I would guess they were either drummers that were just there for some theory, or just punk kids that had nothing better to do on a Wed night (or had a curfew). |

| | KNAC.COM - News - Mike Portnoy Lashes Out At Unappreciative Fans |
| | I think Portnoy needs to realize that DT fans are almost cultish, but when everyone says the sound sucks at EVERY SHOW, maybe they need to take care of business a little better. | | | I came from Indiana and it was easily one of the best shows I've ever seen (by the way I've seen DT eleven times) and to Mike you've never sounded so incredible. | | | I seen them here in Phoenix and the sound was pretty bad but they are still awesome. |

| | Named after his daughter, Melody, Mike Portnoy's Melody Master drums come in two versions: his main snare, the MP1455 maple, and the MP125 steel. | | | The story of Mike Portnoy's signature snare began in 1997 when Mike came up with the idea of a tension strainer controlled by a foot pedal—very cool, but very complicated and too expensive for all but maybe five people in the world. | | | I will recommend any of my friends to shop at this online store. |
