This cover is truly impressive. What impresses me more however is the thought process it took Neil to come up with the drumming for this song. Neil never made things easy, always pushed himself to make the best music possible. RIP.
I've yet to see any drummer recreate Neil's work as well as you do. These videos are such a tribute to him, and inspiring to us. It's a testament to how much Rush's music speaks to the soul.
I’m speaking for myself about this. But as a fellow drummer. We play this music and we get really good at it. We find a level of satisfaction. We listen back and think we nailed it, and, we did. The difference. Creation and re-creation. At the end of the day. All we really did was struggle and strain to replicate. Therein lies the proverbial rub. As good as we think we are, we are, in the end just playing Neil’s music.
Also a former drummer this is what turned me on to Rush originally. Neil's obvious chops, but the originality in each and every song. Sure there are faster, more technical drummers out there but will they ever be given the music to be as original and thus as creative as The Professor?
No wonder they were called Rush Every song is just that. Neil peart was the master of that monstrosity of a drum kit It never felt overdone though In fact he made you want more. How did he pull it off with so much class and precisness..but not braggadocious. He put in a fill wherever he could That just seemed impossible to move that fast.. just utilizing and moving around the whole drum kit Like he was having fun but wasnt trying hard. He was the pioneer of 3 dimensional drumming when everyone else at the time was 1 or 2 dimensional before him Im sure all the other drummers at that time such as steve Smith,Porcaro,Copeland and all the others must have been floored when they heard this band kick out such masterpieces... What a gamechanger he was. Im glad I was lucky to be around and grow up listening to this legend. God bless him.. So sad Will miss you Neil!
Sterling, January 9th 2020 I went to bed late because I stayed up late watching your cover videos from the entire signals album. The next day is when the news came down of Neil's passing. Well, here we are a little over a year later oh, the world is just as crappy if not worse, and I'm sitting here medicating on you playing permanent waves. What a blessing. Especially the middle orchestral section in Jacob's Ladder. If this channel ever goes away, I will need therapy. Thank you so much
Good gracious! Spot freakin' on. Fantastic! I now have to watch your other stuff. I am sure I will be be blown away. If you can pull this on off, there probably isn't much you cannot do.
Love the overhead view. Makes me feel really a part of the song and performance, without mentioning how well it details the playing. Only wished you wore white or brighter pants to see the bass pedal work clearer, but then maybe you're not a bright pant guy 😀
Oh that's how to play that song ! listened to it a thousand times and still can't remember all those parts, the camera above helps. Good job ! So hard to accept that Neil is gone, all the Rush tributes on youtube are a testimony to their greatness, i saw a show from every tour since 1978 kings tour
This and la villa may be perhaps Neil’s magnum opus, I’ve watched u carefully throughout ur videos..not only beat for beat but ur timing is impeccable and u really get the feel of Neil’s drumming technique..it’s as if u r him ..really well done and u make extremely difficult drumming look easy..when it is light years in the other direction...bravo!!
You do awesome work playing Rush songs, but you REALLY need to use the 6” Tom when it is called for. I’ve noticed this on several of your videos. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but from one drummer to another, I just thought I’d offer some constructive criticism. ✌️
Just a friendly observation; your right arm is really tense and your drums seem uncomfortably out of reach. I get that you want to set up your drums like Neil. That was cool for him but you are your own musician and his setup for you looks unnatural. Your motions are stiff. Try setting your drums up the way that works for you. It looks like a forced set up. You can play Neil’s parts without trying to be like him visually.
I think it's because of the placement of the over head camera. There's another drummer I follow (Aquiles Priester) and when the video shows his over head shot, it looks like his right hand is similar to this.
That song is really tiring to play because the tempo is so fast for those right hand 16th’s. I’ve been playing it since it came out and that’s just how it plays. When it switches to the ride it’s always “whew!, thank God I can recover!”. Like Tom Sawyer, but looonger, LOL. It’s a workout.

But, with those invaluable skills you are primed for making original music in your own band. I was able to do that briefly, many years ago.

I know that you’re sitting there in the intro thinking that this music is fucking awesome

You do awesome work playing Rush songs, but you REALLY need to use the 6” Tom when it is called for. I’ve noticed this on several of your videos. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but from one drummer to another, I just thought I’d offer some constructive criticism. ✌️
If you can write song lyrics, I think an opportunity may be opening up for you...
As a drummer you’ll know what I mean.
Of course
in all his videos this drummer always plays a single bass drum...
Just a friendly observation; your right arm is really tense and your drums seem uncomfortably out of reach. I get that you want to set up your drums like Neil.
