@Vancouver Island Railfan i can tell by the fluidity of his movements compared to peart that he is not, especially during the fast ride cymbal part during the chorus, way stiffer, no ghost notes, omitted kicks, i can just feel the lack of fluidity and grooviness compared to when Neil performed this song during his 1992 drum clinic which is also on youtube and that's just this song. i doubt he would even come close to being able to do what Neil does during his drum solos, improvising, and performing the wide array of skills Neil has on the drums
@@shallex5744 Peart is rarified air. I’m not aware of anyone on his level, to be fair. You can name the top 10 drummers of all time. Peart can do anything that any of them can. None of them can do what Peart did....
I totally agree with BeaglePower G!! Time Stand Still is known as one of Rush's "simple balads" however I think it's one of the most challenging drum parts they ever wrote!!! The off beats... the feathering of the hi-hat to bridge those off beat gaps... took me YEARS to master that lol ... the tempo and time signature changes... this tune totally rocks and may I say Sir that you did an amazing job!!!! I've only recently come across your work here on TH-cam and I'm a true and forever fan!!!!! I had your EXACT drum kit back in the day ... minus a few of the electronic cow bells ect but EXACTLY the same kit.. only red like on the Signals tour. Again contrats on some amazing work and I'm surprised your still married knowing the time and commitment it takes to drum at this level lol :P
Dude, you deserve much better than Good Job, that was fucking awesome. Yeah, an expletive is indeed appropriate here. Now, I agree its not Rushs hardest tune, but it does require pro level independence and odd meter abilities. Have a beer or bud on me brah, this kicked ass. I look forward to seeing the others.
Hehe. In fact, we met because of Rush. She is a major Rush fan too... ;) She plays multiple instruments, sings and is now becoming a great bassist. We play about 10 Rush songs now together. Some day, you will get a video of this combo... ;)
Me too. The lyrics are haunting to me considering I'm now 61 and my life seems to have flown by in a blur, and it was only a few days ago that I was bouncing my little tots on my knees. Now I've got grandkids sitting in my lap and I'm trying to treasure every single moment of life I have left.
@@58allendavis I know what you mean I’m 57 and still can’t believe it..I cry every time I listen to this song but it’s a great song..sometimes I’ll listen to 5-6 times in a row.. life is so fast the older you get...have to do what you can to enjoy it.. stay well..
Your drum covers are truly stellar. Watching your videos is utter Joy for my soul. Thank you so much for sharing your talent on TH-cam. Whoever plays in a band with you should kiss the ground you walk on. I mean that.
My goodness Neil built so many layers of complexity into just one rock song it’s mind blowing. Compare this to any other rock drummer in the world and Peart is alone on his body of work.
Congratulations man! You are undoubtedly one of the best drummers I've ever seen playing the music of Rush. I'm the drummer and here in Brazil also greatly appreciate the work of Neil.
You have amazed me with your talents, i used to play rush back in early 80's , stopped playing when i got married in 93, now divorced started playing again, your videos have greatly inspired me to practice a lot more . Thank you, keep on jamming!!
The drum part during the chorus is difficult and you nail it. Just started trying to play this song a week ago and struggling to do anything other than keep the ride bell on the up beat opposite the kick. Totally new skill for me. I'll just keep at it. Thx for showing the way!
Astro ive been watching your videos for over a year now, and new video you upload inspires me more and more to keep drumming. I enjoy everthing that you play. But that could be because i love rush, but who doesnt. keep up the good work and hopefully we can see you and your wife playing something one day. Have a good one
nice job! play alot of rush myself and i have heard alot of people play this and many other rush songs and not quite nail it. neil is the best and its a great tribute that alot of drummers play his stuff. love the sound of your kit too. you did a great job.
@ilovealaska Thanks! Well, power must be a part of playing Rush songs on the drums. Neil hits very, very hard (and amazingly, he hits hard even when playing real fast which is not always easy to do...). So, when I try to duplicate these songs, I'm trying to hit hard too although I do not reach his level of power.
"Time Stand Still" so that all the Rush fans can listen and see for themselves how awesome you are....you've got serious talent. Seriously.....Wow. Going on to listen to more of your work.
I know I don't talk to you as often, hell,life happens you know.But I always love to watch you play.Your so at home in that chair.Always makes me feel good to watch someone lost in the music.Miss talking to you, stay well P.
@aurokam Thank you. I tried to tune the drums according to the song I play. It's easy for the Tama-Ludwig periods, tougher for the DW and Slingerland's.
Your subdivisions version was under my recommendations, due to having seen Jacob Moon's rooftop acoustic version (which is also fantastic!) You are a terrific drummer - I posted this to my Facebook site. Thanks for reminding me just how great Rush is too!
14 years ago I was following you on TH-cam as a huge Rush fan and an aspiring drummer. 14 years later to still be that but hearing this song loud and clear. Hope you are well! Freeze this moment a little bit longer…
Holy CRAP that was an absolutely phenomenal drum cover!! TIME STAND STILL is probably one of the toughest songs to play. It has ALOT going on in the drum beats. Neil Peart is my ALL TIME favorite drummer, and thus guy NAILS his playing to a T. Great job man, that was incredible to hear and see!!🤘
I love,the set up. Don't have room in my house for a set like that. Hopefully when the 2 year old gets older I'll teach her to play so I have an excuse...or any instrument so I can "accompany" her. Great job by the wat on all your covers.
Damm! I normally don't post but shit, you're just good! I've played drums for years, and Rush is my band. Having sold the set for kids and room, this is def inspiring me to rethink a larger house and get back into it. AWESOME job... The off rythms are harder to pull off than most people think, and you nail it...
Wow!! Just the fact that you did this song is a great thing. I think this is one of Neil's best written lyrical songs as well. When I get good enough I will make a Hammond Organ version of it. Kinda like a Steve Winwood style. Just an awesome song all together.
Dude!!! That was absolutely perfect! I love what you did with the granite block! I will have to copy you! I just need to figure out how to move mine so I can teach it for this song. That was great.
Wow !!! Really enjoyed that...not a drummer so do not understand the the 'ins and outs' etc. but it was fantastic to watch and listen to. Ha ha I DO know the track and it's one of my favourites...WELL DONE !!
Solid Job 98/100. I know this video is old, but you look like a "younger" version of myself. Keep up the good work. The world needs people like you to keep us in time.
Freaking Awesome man!!!! I've been a Rush fan for over 20 years and this is an incredible job you've done... BRAVO!!!!! PS I've seen them live 3 times and I'll be damned if this isn't super close to Neil's live performance....
Wow...you even have some of Peart's mannerisms. He tends to give a little sideways head jerk on accented snare hits just like you! Uncanny! Well done - you even have that ride pattern down!
as a musician myself.......that is my favorite song from the 80's....i love your videos and one day maybe.....neil peart will hang up his sticks and you'll join the band.
This guy does Neil justice all the time
Best cover of Neil on TH-cam
One of a few Rush songs that bring a tear to my eye
listen to Bravado and The Pass if you haven't.......beautiful and tear producing ..!!
@@charlesbroomfield9832 The Pass is a beautiful song and Bravado is quite possibly my favourite RUSH song.
Me too always remember Neil Peart by this tune
The same to me😍
why is your drum kit not floating around?
U are referring to the video right.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
@Vancouver Island Railfan i can tell by the fluidity of his movements compared to peart that he is not, especially during the fast ride cymbal part during the chorus, way stiffer, no ghost notes, omitted kicks, i can just feel the lack of fluidity and grooviness compared to when Neil performed this song during his 1992 drum clinic which is also on youtube

You can name the top 10 drummers of all time. Peart can do anything that any of them can. None of them can do what Peart did....
You need to unlock Neil peart level in order to get the kit float across the room
You totally got it dude. Neil would be proud.
You would be my first choice to stand in for Neil, when Alex and Geddy decide to move forward. You got the timing and his chops!!
Ah, thank you! Not going to happen but I appreciate the thought… 😄
Dude, you absolutely SLAYED this song, my jaw hit the floor in the first 4 bars and just stayed there for the whole thing. Beautiful!
Thank you!
@@Astrotama seriously impressive.

Who claimed this to be a "simple ballad"? Just curious.
RUSH is some of most complicated rock music dude you nailed it..rock on

Now, I agree its not Rushs hardest tune, but it does require pro level independence and odd meter abilities. Have a beer or bud on me brah, this kicked ass. I look forward to seeing the others.
It's the subtleties in his playing, ghost notes, odd meters that make even the simplest of rush songs difficult.
Mr. Martin, you are a wonderful drummer. I have watched all of your video's, they never get old. Love rush
Hehe. In fact, we met because of Rush. She is a major Rush fan too... ;) She plays multiple instruments, sings and is now becoming a great bassist. We play about 10 Rush songs now together. Some day, you will get a video of this combo... ;)
Your wife is a rush fan? You sir have found a unicorn!
I smiled the entire five minutes, thank you. Your passion showed, well done sir.
Thank you!
Song makes me cry :(
+Ashley DiVenere I know what you mean..
Its an INFJ thing
Me too. The lyrics are haunting to me considering I'm now 61 and my life seems to have flown by in a blur, and it was only a few days ago that I was bouncing my little tots on my knees. Now I've got grandkids sitting in my lap and I'm trying to treasure every single moment of life I have left.
Yep.Me too

Thats somthing special :). The love of music bringing two people together is a Beautiful thing.
@shane37ca Not going to happen... Rush without Neil is not a possibility.
Your drum covers are truly stellar. Watching your videos is utter Joy for my soul. Thank you so much for sharing your talent on TH-cam. Whoever plays in a band with you should kiss the ground you walk on. I mean that.
Thank you!

Gives me goosebumps to see you play. Congratulations!
Congratulations man! You are undoubtedly one of the best drummers I've ever seen playing the music of Rush. I'm the drummer and here in Brazil also greatly appreciate the work of Neil.
Crushed it! nailed all the little sounds perfectly.
This was the first drum cover of this song that I watched almost a decade ago!
Glad that I found it again.
I love that run on 2:40 on the album and on here.
Again... When comes to RUSH... You are the one of the best ....if not the best on You Tube....Hands Down....
Hold your fire was a really special album to me back in the day.its such an emotional album.Thank you for playing this.
Awesome as always! Excellent drummer!
by far the most accurate version on the web!!! great job! 5 stars
You have amazed me with your talents, i used to play rush back in early 80's , stopped playing when i got married in 93, now divorced started playing again, your videos have greatly inspired me to practice a lot more . Thank you, keep on jamming!!
Kid you have got it, all of it. A true talent that is a real pleasure to watch.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of your excellent Rush videos.
Jim Lederer You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Sir, you are great! Please keep playing the music of the greatest drummer of all! You do it well. Thank you!!!

******EXCELLENT JOB****** My fav RUSH song.
Thank you!
probably the most accurate Neil tributes ive heard so far on youtube. Great job!
My wife convinced me that the living room looks better with my drums folded up. Great Job!

I've watched many of your videos and you are spot-on each time..bravo...you have a gift!..thanks for what you do
Thanks for watching!
The Simplicity, but yet the utter complexity of Peart to the letter...dude you always give me Chills watching you Jam...Bravo !!!!
Thank you!
Well done sir. You brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your performances ALWAYS leave me speechless...

I love the late 90’s Starclassic!!! I have the Cherry Fade.... still play it as my main kit to this day! Excellent work!
You absolutely nailed that song. Great job!
A so great one song!! Dude, like papanots said: What a joy to watch you! Thanks!
That was spectacular. I enjoyed every second.
Geez!!! Another Great Job!!!! And I love seeing you post again after soooo long!!!

On point! I can feel the love and respect
Not the first video I've enjoyed of you.
Love your fortitude ! That was great
Thanks!
That was Totally Awesome. Absolutely PERFECT.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Fantastic!! You kicked the hell out of it! Neil would love it!
Excellent drumming skills man!
you nailed it!
Awesome man! I love watching you jam RUSH! You rock!
Wow, this is you without much practice? Sheesh....that was AWESOME!!! And one of my favorite rush songs. GREAT COVER!!!
From one Rush fan to all the others, Neil RIP!!
Damn man you killed this! Excellent job brother!
your so unbelievably amazing! I'm not sure Neil could even do it that good!!
Solid Job 98/100. I know this video is old, but you look like a "younger" version of myself. Keep up the good work. The world needs people like you to keep us in time.

Nice set. Great job on a tough song. Had this not been one of my favorites. I never would have noticed the discrepancies from the original.
Love your drumming. Love this song!
On my 3rd video following Spirit of the Radio & Limelight! Cheers for the mini-concert.
Amazing!
