“it’s like riding a unicycle” - perhaps on a wire above the clouds as a plane flies by?

I'm happy Mike confirmed another year of great Drumeo content 😊

I'm a little comforted that even John Petrucci is intimidated by learning DT music!

I ageee completely that as a HUGE since the very beginning DT ultra fan, this CD is exactly what I hoped it would be, having no idea what it would be like. My wife and I have continually listened to all DT CD’s over the decades and are never disappointed. Ever. There’s no bad DT. None. Nada. Zilch. 🤘🤘🤘

Please John, channel your hero David Gilmour more often. Bend the Clock and New Beginning are both amazing. We want more!

Soooooo happy Mike is back!

That Falling Into Infinity demo is a gem because the arrangements give you a new CD, basically. You can also hear why they needed a producer on that particular project.

Good to see DT has renewed interest and a boost to the legacy and great music that was created by this lineup. When MM took the drum duties it was definitely a new vibe ,I was amazed on his abilities and his style that gave the band a new charge and took prog to a new level. With MP back it’s definitely the vibe that made the band as great as they are. The Spirit Carries On!!

I was fortunate enough to see them Oct 20th in London for that opening night. Flew all the way from Argentina to be part of DT History. What a night that was!

Yeah this is awesome. Diehard DT fan here and this was extremely informative. Can’t wait to hear the new album - only a few more days!
Thanks Roie for a great interview with these legends. Some day, one day, I’d love to collaborate with you for The Prog Report.
