  • "Limelight," the RUSH classic off of their 1981 album, "Moving Pictures." This is the final song from my 2019 RUSH drum cover series, recorded in August 2019.
    For this series I thought it would be fun to mimic Neil’s setup as closely as I could with my Pearl Masterworks kit. It took a bit of practice to get used to the tom positions, but it was a blast to play Rush songs on the “Rush” kit. I tried to match the tunings as well. I had never tuned my toms that high before, but it made those cascading tom fills really sing!

    I almost always find NP covers cringeworthy, but you did this justice. Love the drum tunings and cymbal choices. Nice job, Mike!

    The ease, confidence, clarity, precision, sound, and so much more are so spot on. These awesome top-notch talent level tributes befit the master who left us too soon. Among the most brilliant drum compositions in music history - played to perfection to render homage to The Great One! Thanks for sharing, keeping the spirit so alive, hope to see y'all live some day soon. And such a great lesson for total amateurs like me to see what I need to fix!

    If Neil heard you play this he would be so proud. Your new stuff with YYNOT is amazingly good.

    I can just pull off the faster figures in this song but I feel like and I know I look like I am flailing around uncontrollably. You pull it off effortlessly! Beautiful playing!

    Mike, this is exceptional work. I can’t believe I’m just now seeing your vids! I am Jack’s musical envy! Your set is impeccable, everything is tuned perfectly! The only recommendation I can offer is a tighter or thinner snare to get that “pop!” Neil would get. But damn, I’m impressed. You’ve got some talent!!

    I remember the first time I heard this song, it was like "wow is that really Alex Lifeson?"
    No doubt he can play guitar but that solo rates as his finest work.
