  • Here's the second video of the night, a remake in HD of one of the most popular Rush classics, and one of my favorite songs to play ever! I was not totally happy with the performance on the old video version so I hope this one is a bit better. Enjoy!

    Dude, you nailed a very difficult drum part written by arguably the greatest rock drummer of all-time. That was amazing. You are a VERY talented drummer (with a great taste in music). Keep up the good work!

      I agree is very good but this song is actually one of the easiest Rush songs to play in my opinion (I play drums too btw)

      ​@@freemanwithoutthephd639: "Easiest Rush song" is a phrase on par with "lightest sumo wrestler".
      Apparently, my band is covering this, so I am going to have to play drums and sing this song, simultaneously.

      Your phrasing and timekeeping are really good, and it's clear you go to a lot of trouble and expense to research and acquire top-notch hardware. Of course any artifact from the early days is going to document how far recording for CZcams has come. Totally deserving of a new upload, I'm going to subscribe so I'll know when it happens!

    Thinking I want to marry YOU. I used to be married to a fine bass guitarist whose band refused to give up covering most of 2112, and I went to endless rehearsals, sitting between the drummer and the bass amp. Result: lifelong love of RUSH and ability to hear every bass note/drumbeat, cymbal, etc. YOU are the next best thing to NP, sir. So far....
