This is one of my absolute favorite Rush songs for the drum work. This is one of those songs that gets you going in the morning. You did this song a great service. Well done, sir.
Awesome performance. The great thing about Rush and Neil Peart is he was a big fan of Ayn Rand, and he put a lot of Rand themes in some of Rush's most popular songs. Peart himself is a Howard Roark (from The Fountainhead) figure because he's arguably one of the best drummers alive, and takes perfection of his art very seriously. If you haven't read Ayn Rand, you should. You'll really gain a better understanding of a lot of Rush songs.
I have always had this song rolling through my head because of the drums and Alex's solo, you captured the feel as well as the technicalities, great take, keep on rocking.
It makes it all that much sweeter to see you so into the music , like its part of you. Peace and thanks, If you're taking requests I would love to see you play "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath.
Not sure why you aren't getting higher ratings on this one. Your tuning, sound, and precision seem to be better than some of the others doing this song on here.
I request La Villa Strangiato. You did my favorite already (Vital Signs). I wish you lived closer to me so we could jam on some Rush songs, though I know few... (looks over at his Rush songbook and his guitars and sighs)
Actually, I have NEVER to this day been able to stand listening to anything on Vapor Trails (not the songs, the mix) at anywhere near any volume that I need to crank it to drum along. So... as much as I'd like to do 4 or 5 from VT, the chance of hearing them soon is close to nil. I will have to totally revamp my graphic equalizer and recording levels in order to drum along to anything off VT.
Geddy Lee called, wants you join his backup band for his 2012 summer tour. Better brush up on My Favorite Headache tunes.

You've got the best home-drumming vids. Signals was underrated, IMHO, although it have been dull without Neil!

The 80s house some of the best Rush drumming. Especially Signals.
