Modern Drummer: What was your role on Mike Portnoy's new DVD, In Constant Motion?
Jason Bittner: Mike was gracious enough to bring me onstage during the last Dream Theater tour, when they came to Hartford. He does double drum solos on tour, so he agreed to have me do one with him. We threw together a skeleton solo based on what he and Charlie Benante had done a few weeks prior – just trading fours and playing famous drum parts from songs by Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Metallica. I played part of a Dream Theater song with their guitarist, John Petrucci, and then Mike and I traded fours again. That was a cool experience.
