- Permanent Waves holds a very special place in my heart, and The Spirit of Radio is without a doubt one of the finest album openers in the history of rock music. It also makes one hell of a set opener, so of course this is how we start Cygnus X-2 shows. And since I have to rehearse the song anyway, I figured I might as well film it.

Buddy that's very impressive. Neil would have been proud. Fantastic job.
Judging from his personality when he was alive, I'd wager he wouldn't have given a shit. Stop romanticising dead people.
Why dont you step up to the kit homie!@@DerHerrMitR
@@DerHerrMitR Right? As the innovator of this, I'm sure he couldn't care less about the thousands who emulated him over the years.
@@DerHerrMitR Ouch !
@@DerHerrMitRProfessional douchebag I see.
Just incredible. A perfect homage to the professor himself. Cannot fathom why your channel is not drowning in subscribers. Keep it up nonetheless!
It will be soon, very soon!
Just did!
Because there is zero power or command of the instrument in this performance. In fact, this is the most indifferent and casual of a cover I have ever seen of Neil’s performances. Talented? Yes. Passionless? Also yes.
Ah yes, enter the armchair quarterback. Perhaps you can explain how he can be “talented” and yet have “zero command of the instrument”? Talented people usually also have passion, btw. We’d love to see your version, big guy.
except that "The "Professor" nickname came from the Gilligan's Island character, not Neil's drum mastery. :)
This is honestly the best drum cover I’ve seen of any song, absolute perfection!!
it is stunning, I have seen sooo many great drummers covering Rush and this one is really a great one. OMG I wish I could play like him.
I agree
Huh? Get out much?
First fill, immediate takeaway - tuning. PERFECTLY tuned.
Beautiful playing as well.
Justice well served imo.
RIP SIR PEART. A POET WELL MISSED, A DRUMMER FOREVER INSPIRING.
Every. Single. Time. I hear this song, I learn something new. I fell in love with this song about 30 years ago. You didp a phenominal job on this, well done! There's a million SOR covers, but when you hear someone get in those bass doubles on the main riff, you know they know their shit. Awesome work.
To get anywhere near the master, Neil,
you need to be, firstly ,beyond brave and extraordinarily accomplished.. and you are both mate . Kudos.
Neil would have been proud. My father played a farewell show for Neil in St Catharines where he and my dad grew up (they did not know each other). Neil already was making his mark. A drummer asked my dad, uncle, and their friend to back him up for the show. They kicked the drummer off the stage after the second song because he couldn't keep a beat. My dad always said Neil either wouldn't remember that show or didn't know about it. We will never know now.
Great playing! Gained a new subscriber here. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
This is one of the best covers I've heard yet! 🤘 It's not about the notes. It's about feel, timing, rhythm, and tempo. Neil had mastery over these things, which is what makes it so difficult for many to replicate. Most importantly, you look so relaxed when you play, I can almost shut my eyes and believe it is Neil (almost 😅). Suffice to say, I am highly impressed and would love to hear more. 👏👏👏
This is perfection
I've seen many covers of this song and I like a lot of them. But your cover is by far the best! Excellent job!! If I had my eyes closed, I would have thought it was Neil playing. He would have been proud of you. I'm not a musician in any way but I can hear a good sound. Your techniques are very smooth!! Can tell you've been playing awhile. Keep on drumming brother!!!
Just found this video, been a Rush fan all my adult life absolutely fantastic job, Neil would have loved it I'm sure 🥢🎸🤟
This is a brilliant cover of the professor. The apprentice has aced the master. Very well done sir 🤘🏻
Funniest comment yet in this thread...kudos!
Absolutely amazing! Great job on this one. Neil would definitely be proud. Beautiful drum kit too, very impressive. 👍
Often, there is something missing from the intonation of the drummer, but you sir, nailed it. Very nice! Ive watched players do Rush covers and there is always something that just isnt like how Neil did it. Its not the notes, the rhythm, the drums. Its deeper. You nailed it!
I used to frequent this open mic and one night me and two buddies where on stage thw guitarist turns around and says, LETS DO YYZ the bassist started glowing! “I’ve know it but I’ve never played it in public!” I looked at them and said “your gonna kill me I’ve never played it!” But the song is in my regular playlist so we flew into it and I think I did pretty good from memory, maybe not as good as you did here! You did justice! Rip to Peart!
AWesome Job, Neil was my fave of all time, awesome 🥁 💙 👏👏👏🔥
Note for friggen note ys brought me to my feet for a eye wiping standing ovation !!! Wow man that was perfection!! Bravo!!! Yeeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!! Thank you for the reminder of why the professor is and always will be my fave drummer !!! Does his ghost come to you after you've finished and give you a sign, or do you both take a bow together!! Tears to wipe. You are so ... right on Ryan thanks so much ,he would...be very humbled and very proud of you !!!🫵🫵🫵👍👍👍🤜🤛👏👏👏👏🤟🤟🤟🫸🫷☝️☝️☝️RIP NEIL PEART RUSH 4 LIFE "THE" POWER OF 3 ⚟!!!
Very well done sir. That's my alarm clock every morning! One of my all time faves.
You played Neil's tune perfectly, Neil would have been so proud watching this. The best drum cover of this song, period!
Killer job man!!!!! When I heard Neil passed, I cried, it was the first time I'd cried in many years. I had no clue what that guy meant to me. Please keep up the great work!!!!
Mr. Two One One Two himself! I expected nothing less!!! Thank You so much!!! Ryan is truly my favourite Drummer!
Quite Good Sir! Quite Good indeed!
Absolut LY Great drumming!! great cover for sure !!!
THANK YOU! Love your kit and playing, thanks for keeping Peart alive.
play this with that accuracy on the movements with any drum sheet is insane
One detail that no one's talking 'bout: You holding the sticks the same way the professor does. You did your homework!
That was fantastic brother! great job
Amazing. Nailed it note-for-note. 😊
Song never gets old!
Wow !!! Fantastic !!! Great work !!!!
Bravo! That was awesome! Neil would be proud.
Killed it. The biggest complement I could possibly give is as others have said, Neil himself would have been impressed.
👏👏👏👏🍾👍 perfect sound cover!!!
Porca miseria 😯😯😯
great beautiful cover ... great choice of sounds and great groove !!!
☮️🥁💚🥁☮️
Congratulations...
Fantastic
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nicely done, and the drum tones are incredible 👏 👏👏
The ease , with which you play this, speaks volumes for your talent. It was fun watching you. Thanks...Never..Never...Stop!
Amazing attention to the fine details of Neil's playing, especially as its all from memory....that's a lot to remember. 😊😊
Damn son. I have no words. Send this in to the band and go on tour with them.
Hopefully Geddy & Alex seriously considers contacting Ryan for an audition if they ever choose to start touring again. Absolutely the best rush cover EVER!
I would do dirty things to do that
Outstanding, you make it look so easy but the level of work it takes to be that smooth is incredible. Enjoyed this very much.
Very nice!!!!!!! A song so perfect as that one never gets old. And when someone such as you duplicates it so well it’s a beautiful thing! RIP Pert!!!!
Wow I enjoyed this great job! I miss that man everyday!
Absolutely tremendous
WOW Dude! 100% smashed it! Great job all around with the drumming, the kit, tunings, and audio too! This one is next on my bucket list of drum covers! Thanks for sharing this man, I'll be using it for sure!
Fantastic! Simply fantastic!
🔥KILLED IT Brother! Up in the Heavens The Professor just wrote a 10,000 word essay explaining how well you did covering one of his percussion masterpieces. From the masterful Right Foot Trips, the graceful Glock notes, to the often overlooked Ride-China groove! Totally Subscribed after watching this!
This is the best cover of this song I've ever heard. Superb!
Really great work, thanks for posting 🤘
Why does this have less than 1k views. This is the best cover I've ever seen.

Outstanding!
You just gave RIP a new meaning

Badass!! Rocked it right outta there....Neil would be proud!
I am confident Neil is looking down Proud... Great Job brother.
I’ve been a huge Rush fan since 1974. I’ve heard my share of drummers covering Neil - and this performance is at the very top!! 100 percent accurate, with all of the feel too. So proud of you!!
The drums look fantastic. Sound absolutely amazing. Your skills, are incredible.
Wow Really tough cover!..!! One of my Faves too... SOOO hard to play! you nailed it!! youre a great player
Doing a credit to cover art. Stoner Bob's pick of the day. Congratulations on your incredible performance.
Absolutely fantastic, would love to see you tackle some dream theater, you’ve got the kit for it
Absolutely tremendous. Love that you have kept the fill at 3.17 faithful to the original (which NP didn't when he played it live!)
Thanks for sharing your video with the world! You have a lot of talent and worked very hard to get to this level! This takes me back to when I was a kid in the 70’s listening to my brother practice drums in the garage and reading the lyrics on the album. The Professor’s words guided me into adulthood much like everyone else in Generation X! Keep up the great work!
Awesome. Even playing with the sticks backward....nice touch.
Very impressive! Nice Tribute to the Professor!
Very good my friend , i am impressed ~!
A very hard piece to emulate! Great job. The professor would be proud!
Fantastic cover, performed in the true Spirit of Radio.
pretty much bang on, great job, bravo.... love the switch of the sticks when you play the xylophone....
Just came across this. Blown away. Perfect cover! You sir are amazing
Excellent!!! Wow!!! Good job. The best drum cover I have hear for Spirit of the Radio.
Holy shit not only are you killing the part. You got his tuning.
That's the spirit of Neil. Bloody good job mate.
Really great cover! Drums sound excellent! 🤘🏼😎
That's awesome!! Very impressive. I'm sure the professor would even admire it.
This is the best SoR drum cover I've seen/heard. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
A fantastic cover. I miss Neil so much it actually hurts.
Perfection man. VERY WELL DONE. Neil would a been proud of you.
I’ve always loved Rush for so many reasons….each one is the greatest at what they do. I’ve never seen this video that shows Neil hit the keyboard!!! I’ve always wanted to know who played that. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Holy cow! Talk about multitasking! Amazing job!
That was Awesome!!! Love the attack on the fills bro!!!🥁👍
Great job brother!!!!!
I honestly think that was perfect . Not 1 missed anything
Fantastic work! I just came across this today (I know a little late) and will check out your other stuff as well. As a lifelong Neil fan myself, this was inspiring. You can tell that playing this song is something you have done many times as it is impeccably perfect. Nice to meet you, virtually 👊
TREMENDOUS JOB!!! I have been trying to learn this amazing song, and you have nailed it. Thank you!
This is definitely the best drum cover of this song i have ever seen! Good job 👏
Holy Shit man that was impressive! Neil is smiling!
With precision, and fluidity.

I'm speechless. That was amazing my man. Thoroughly enjoyable!!
I have been playing 40 years, and Neil is proud and so am I. You and I have the same style🔥🔥 Keep pushing
That kit is gorgeous and this cover is flawless. Well done sir!!!!!🤘

Just saw this. Very impressed. Hard work pays off
Nice job!!!
Awesome!!! You even the tom’s pan perfect. 🤯
