Mike Portnoy : MPMMXX Drum Cam

About This Movie

So, Mike Portnoy's 'MPMMXX Drum Cam' is really something for those who appreciate the process behind the music. Shot in 1080p, it gives you a genuine insight into the recording sessions for the Sons of Apollo album. There's a certain rawness to the footage. You can feel the energy, the focus that Portnoy brings to his craft. Plus, the audio options are interesting; you can choose between a full band mix or really hone in on the isolated drums. I find that aspect particularly captivating—it's almost like being a fly on the wall during a jam session. The pacing flows well, keeping you engaged as you watch him bring the beats to life.

This release in 2020 is relatively niche, appealing to collectors who appreciate behind-the-scenes looks at music creation. The scarcity of such raw footage makes it a unique item, as there aren’t many similar drum cam projects that dive this deep into the recording process. It's the kind of piece that tends to attract a dedicated audience, especially those who follow Portnoy's career closely or have an interest in drumming techniques.
