You can check out the new video uploaded by Drumeo below featuring DREAM DHEATER drummer Mike Portnoy as he breaks down the technique behind playing their iconic song, “Pull Me Under.”

Portnoy says: “It was only announced that I’m rejoining DREAM THEATER only a few weeks ago at the point of filming this, so for me to play this now, it’s kind of just like riding a bicycle. The muscle memory is just there for life; it’ll be there forever.”

He further added in social media post: “I had such a blast at Drumeo!

“We filmed sooo much content that will slowly be revealed over the coming months …here’s the first of MANY songs/videos to come!

“I hadn’t played this song in over 13 years! The song that started it all for us…
