Happy May 24 to all my Canadian friends and fellow RUSH fans. Celebrating 46 years since the release of this song - RIP NEP • Neil Peart Pavilion at...

"Everyone would gather on the 24th of May Sitting in the sand to watch the fireworks display Dancing fires on the beach, singing songs together Though it's just a memory, some memories last forever....." Always chokes me up, I don't know why....
By far my favorite Rush song ever. I'm not sure if Neil hit the hi-hats with his stick or if it was a foot click, but I could never get the foot click to sound right, so I've always hit the hats in that part too. Glad to see I'm not alone. BTW isn't it nice to be an adult and be able to afford to have that kind of kit and a toy room to play it in? Lovely kit. They sound great!
Thanks! that room is my midlife crisis. I always wondered that too, the two book I have of transcriptions say its a hi hat hit but I wasn't sure until I saw a video of Neil playing it. th-cam.com/video/nfpZGtr9BiU/w-d-xo.html - go in at 2:28 and you will see he is hitting the hat
Very well done Danny!! I've always found the bridge part with the ride and high hat exchange challenging because I've always used my foot for the hi hit chick, I'll have to try it with my left hand. This is Mike Ronzio by the way..
Thanks man! check out 2:28 seconds in this video th-cam.com/video/nfpZGtr9BiU/w-d-xo.html - Neil is hitting the hi hat with his left hand. Also the two transcriptions I have (different transcribers) also both label it as a hit hat hit. I think using the foot would be hard!
Your r30 kit sounds better than Neil’s. I never cared for the way any of his DW kits sounded except for maybe his Snakes and Arrows kit. He must’ve heard something in those drums though to keep endorsing the brand. My favorites are the Counterparts and RTB kits. They had all of the vocal range. Most of Neil’s drums sound the same except for his 8. 10 and 18" toms. Every other drum is hard to pick out their tonality. DW crafts so beautiful drums though. They’re literally works of art.
I do have to say I agree....the actual drum sound did not improve when he started using DW...but then again, we all know that proper Drum Technicians are half the sound!
I recorded it first with the mics and went back and looked at the video and you really couldn't see me or the kit well (especially from the front) with all the stands and wires in the way. So after recording the audio I re-recorded the video with out the mics in the way and just used the audio from my first recording over the top of my second recording without the mics. Make sense?
@@DigitalMan_2112 gotcha, my original thought was all internal shell mics. But nevertheless the kit sounds great. Sounds similar to my old 1980s Tama superstar kit I used to have that was setup to resemble Neil's 1987 double bass setup.

@@DigitalMan_2112 😮how you remembered every single part recording without the mic’s?
My name is Chuck, I happen to be on my wife's phone for now,. but my God those drums sound killer, I'm using a good quality ear phone, and that bass drum literally went through me, that thing has a deep but nice resonance to it, awesome and you play really good, I've been playing drums since I was 12 I'm 52 now and still rip the skins,. I love it sounded great, how long did it take you to finish the project if I may ask,
Something felt off about this recording to me. I think he played this on his electronic kit behind him, rather than the acoustics. At 0:55, the first crash is higher in pitch than the second one. This doesn’t make sense because he hits an 18” and then a 16”, which should be low to high, not high to low. There are also no close mics in the kit, yet it sounds like the drums are close mic’d. Finally, Sabian Paragon rides are incredibly dry, this one had way too much wash to be the actual paragon. Professional Analysis Complete.
that drumset sounds incredible
fellow rush fan drummer canadian, nice. congrats on your kit and collections, impressive. playing ok too.
Great job Danny! Gordon and I are playing this song!! Super Fun!!

It’s a foot chick for sure.
@@PNW_Sportbike_Life watch the video at 2:28 - you can see Neil hitting the hi hat th-cam.com/video/nfpZGtr9BiU/w-d-xo.html.
@@PNW_Sportbike_Life another one at 2:10 th-cam.com/video/XLtW9iGTCYI/w-d-xo.html - 40 years later - it’s still hitting the hi hat
@@DigitalMan_2112 I'm sure he played it differently over the years live, but on the studio version it's definitely a foot chick.
Sounds awesome!
Nice drum set wish I had one
Wow, beautiful rendition of the song. I really appreciated that you shared it with us.
Happy 24th of May Danny! 🤘
The professor would be proud. Nicely done son.
great! i used to play bass to the atwas version.
Love this video. Saw your tour of the room and kit a few weeks back. Man, I’d love to see that in person some day. Very nice 👍🏼
That would be cool! Hit me up would be happy to let you play it and snap some pics!
@@DigitalMan_2112 that’d be very cool but as I live in Rhode Island it’ll be a while. lol. But maybe some day my friend. Ty.
Very well done Danny!! I've always found the bridge part with the ride and high hat exchange challenging because I've always used my foot for the hi hit chick, I'll have to try it with my left hand. This is Mike Ronzio by the way..
Thanks Mike! Love your video's as well (and your kit is beautiful and a unique color - love it).
mike, you still owe me 20 bucks for last weekend,, pay up. ;)

Ah yes! I see it there. There’s never any great video of Neil prior to Exit stage left. It can be very frustrating sometimes
@@DigitalMan_2112 my videos stink compared to yours. I’m just not set up for recording properly
Nice! Just got my danforth and Pope lakeside park T-shirt a few days ago.
It appears that you are a Rush/Neil Peart Fan. Fully Invested. Very Nice.

@@Powerhauze Very true!
you should do some videos of you just messing around on it or something, that would be fun to see
NICELY DONE BROTHER 👍 SOUNDS GOOD TOO !!!!! 😉. HOPE TO SEE MORE COVERS FROM THIS KIT🙂. *** NEW SUBSCRIBER ***🤘🤘🤘🤘 🤙🤙🤙
Clearly your drums aren't mic'd, how do you pick up the drums/cymbals?

Also, I forgot to mention that the splash that he hits at 0:41 sounds very much like a China cymbal, rather than a small splash.
BREATH BRO BREATH…….
Is that supposed to say "breathe"? I am, through my nose.
I wonder how much money went into all this stuff.
