obviously he doesnt play the whole kit, that would be impossible, and yes it is technically 2 sets in 1, but it is still 1 kit

I don't think you guys realize mike portnoy is easily the best drummer alive.

He plays the entire kit, and will hold up to 14ish circular rythyms at once, while singing, in 6/8 time signature.

LOL

I would have to say Neil Peart is the best.
Mike Portnoy has 2 kits. Based on the dvd, one is a "metal kit" and the other is an "Progressive/Experimental kit." He mentions that he switches back and forth song to song and sometimes within a song.
