Thank you for the support. Lots of great music and drummers out there but for a workout, I don't think anyone plays as physical as Neil. I am sweating like crazy during the final 5 songs. That music is also a Rush song. Mystic Rhythms...last song on the Power Windows album. It's nice music for an intro plus it has the word rhythm in it which fits my topic. Good luck with your Rush-drums-journey. It's a challenge but satisfying when you nail it.

And great tone and tempo, Neil would be proud!

This is type of workout, not a drum cover...although I play as well as I can since people are watching. Muted drums so the family doesn't have to listen to a Rush concert 3-4 times per week. Great practice and burns tons of calories. That's it.

The new DW wireless look amazing. These however, are normal acoustic drums with muting pads on them. Also using Alesis cymbals from an e-kit. Per my long-winded intro, I had to mute the drums so I could pound them without freaking out the dogs...or the family. It is a unique look and more resembles an e-kit but I play the real kit with my band so it also allows me to practice on my real kit...without the noise. There is a rock concert happening in my headphones but the household only hears me tapping on rubber. Also...these DW's are 15 years old and have stood up great...including the gold rims. Highly recommend the brand!

Thank you!

Well said!

Yup. Per the 90 second intro, the kit is muted so the household doesn't have to listen to a Rush concert 3-4 times per week. As a drummer, you still know if you are on as there is a rock concert in my head but it's relatively quiet for everyone else. Showing people that drumming is a great way to burn calories without the injuries that can happen with exercise...that take way longer to heal as you get older. I'll do some full-on noise videos at some point...when every other person/dog is out of the house. Thanks for checking it out!

This is how I workout at home without my family and the two dogs having to listen to a Rush concert 3-4 times per week. The kit is muted but as a drummer you can feel yourself being on or off. The main point of this is to show how drumming can be a great way to burn calories, in your home, without the risks of injuries...that take much longer to heal as we get older. At some point I may have the opportunity to go full-on noise but for now this is a great way to practice without freaking out the Samoyeds:)

Thanks for checking-out a few songs. Per the 90 second intro, this is a workout in a hot room and the drums are muted so the family (and dogs) don't have to listen to a Rush concert when I do it. If you heard how the drums sounded, it would sound hideous...like playing on a sofa. That's the idea though...pound away without the noise. One day when they are all out of the house, maybe I'll do an unmuted song or two but these are workout videos as much as drum covers. Cheers.

@@HotDrumming so you can play these songs,real deal???....no phonies?

@@sandkid69 If you are a drummer you can tell. I have been doing this same workout for at least 5 years so yes...I know these songs very well. I release a new song every Tuesday so I am working on the next 10. Neil's parts are a definite challenge to learn but it's also more rewarding when you get it.

@@HotDrumming thx ..just. A. Rock. Fan....love. The beats. N. Thunder ⛈️⚡

Thank you!

Thank you! I am halfway through the workout at this point. Will slow it down a bit for one song then finish with a 4-song bang...as you will see in coming videos :). Happy Holidays!

Thank you! It's far more entertaining as a workout than a treadmill. I get to hear Neil for about an hour straight :)

Thank you! 5 songs left in the workout so I hope you enjoy them too. It's a great workout:)

If by "It looks great" you mean then thanks:) The kit is muted so my family doesn't have to listen to rock concert...but that just means I can play hard and can totally feel if I am on. It is a workout as much as drum practice. Not so bad only hearing Neil. That's all I hear and he likely sounds better than me:) Cheers.

@HotDrumming I mean yeah, it looks like you're playing all the right stuff! Just wish I could hear it.

Thanks for the nice comment. By the time you have played 10 songs, you know you have had a great workout. So much more entertaining than a treadmill...:)

Thank you. The DW's are 15 years old now and the gold rims have stood up fine. Neil was a drum god!

Thank you! This song is a true workout:)

Free Will always takes a back seat to Spirit of Radio but it's a great song. Thanks for the comment.

That's a wicked kit. I am in the Toronto area so not the kind of winters you see in Minnesota. I've been doing this hot workout for years and my wife got me the infrared heater to make it a full-on hot-room program. I enjoy it and the dogs aren't freaked out so it works for everyone. Good luck to your Vikings :)

Audio would sound like crap with all the pads and rubber...and my wife would confirm just that :) This is workout while getting great practice - in a house full of creatures who don't want to hear a Rush concert in the basement. The heater makes it "like" hot yoga but far more active. As a drummer, you know when you're on and when your not when playing this way. Cheers Natural Science:)

@ yeah I totally get that. It’s hard to be a Drummer in a house full of non-musicians. Could you take the audio out from your drum system and record that into logic or GarageBand and mix that with the original? Just for fun. If you’re mostly in it for the workout and the syncopation, then who cares right… just have fun!

@@NaturalScienceRushTribute Exactly. I have an e-kit I can also use and put both music and kit through a mixer. I just prefer to practice on this kit since I am in a band and it's nice to practice on the same kit you use live. It's not a Rush tribute but we do play New World Man and Limelight.

OMG...mine too! Twice in Toronto then Buffalo. I was hooked two albums earlier but could finally afford it for Signals.

@@HotDrumming @ Detroit Joe Louis Arena. Sadly, no longer standing as it was torn down....but the memory last a life time. I was fortunate to see Geddy & Alex up close as they walked past me in a bar in Royal Oak, MI before going on the air with WRIF 101 FM the night of the Roll The Bones Tour.....pure luck & timing

Thank you!

Thank you kindly!

It's a great workout. Not easy after 60 but it works for me. Cheers.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for noticing :)
