Xanadu Drum cover

[Umzigg]

Good stuff!

[gaspsr1]

Great job! You had a video a few years back of 2112 overture that I think is the best drum cover of that song I have seen on youtube--can you plz repost it? Thx

[MrTBBiggs]

Your drums are tuned so well. Love the sound and the cover. Well done. I'm also a lefty but play the "other side!"

[jasonbakermusic]

great job man!

[mikal9411]

D: i just shit my pants..... twice

[TheDrummist88]

TheDrummist

[c4sp3r91]

this is the most underrated drum cover on whole youtube. and probably the best drum cover ever!

[shaneiliff]

Best Xanadu cover i've heard, and your kit sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

[otep85sk]

neil would be proud good sir

[OdyBeRidin]

5:35 absolutely awesome! I taught an old friend how to play drums, he was a lefty, he played on a kit set up for a righty, I have never seen a lefty play on a righty kit until I saw this video, brings back memories. Keep up the good work.

[tonie188]

@OdyBeRidin i guess you havent seen carter bueford (sorry about the spekking)

[yukadrd]

Best cover of this song I've seen!!!!!!!

[killaman111]

you are amazing. so jealous

[10pauin]

wheres the ride?

[drums4lifepeart]

i watch this vid everyday! :) hey man, do u know how to put music in your cover i need sum help thank u so much :))

[drums4lifepeart]

love the tom toms at 0:33 they sound just like R30

[jpmfresno]

Interesting style...you play left handed but drums are setup right handed (except for your ride).

[xXBmWGtR3Xx]

@jpmfresno i noticed that 2 i play drums right handed but i am a lefty gutairist but i play only right handed gutairs so this is kinda of teh same thing

[faningo276]

You are so sick. I will buy you a templeblock if you want one, like holy shit dude you're SO sick. Never stop playing!

[raredrumd]

You are amazing at drums

[NYtomb]

perfect!

[rameen007]

great cover i love it i wish i could play only half of it . your best keep it up boss

[godsmackxxx7]

i thought you were neil there for a second!!#

[godsmackxxx7]

but you need to loosen your snare a little,way to tight!

[SuperCooper182]

i noticed this video only has four and a half stars. you would have to be either very retarded or just a plain twat to rate this any less than 5 stars

[ICommunistToasterI]

I love your style of playing. Open-handed, very relaxed and loose. Also more entertaining to watch then any other drum cover of this song.

[nocturnezero]

Hey, I love the cover, but I was curious how you got the hollow, "Cup - like" sound of your two highest toms, as I cannot get that sound perfectly on my 8 and 10 inches.

[drumster626]

I like how since you dont have all the parts you need for the song you use what you have to make it sound good. Like Me!

[nocturnezero]

Where's his ride trigger?

[bakers2742]

That was incredible!

[lordmacrae]

AMAZING! you fuckin jammed it out! to the letter! NICE JOB MAN!!!!

[6cferrari]

la villa strangiato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[GuitarManRush]

what kind of kit are you using?

[tjfreak]

Sounds like Genesis at first

[davidbrodlie]

lol

[tjfreak]

I'm a lefty,toms descending right to left,floor toms on left. - hi hat right- ride left and right,I've always had this thing about a 22" ride just over the left side of the bass drum (next to the mounted tom.) This guy's drums sound pretty well tuned pretty reasonable for the internet.

[nocturnezero]

Oh. I thought he was playing ride on his hats and I was like "He can afford all those crashes, but not a ride?"

[CCDaDon15]

It's amazing to see a rush song covered open like this. Subbed :)

[tannerdrummer48]

Best cover i have ever seen on xanadu, Very unique how you play. Lefty but have your toms going down right, hi hat on the left like a righty, but ride on the left like a lefty. Very, very cool. Every single fill was spot on and perfect. Flawless, flawless cover. WOW!

[guitarguy93]

3:38 made me cum.

Good work man.... haha

[Chasela511]

...That's nowhere near as great as so many other parts!

[tjfreak]

Do you have to really -really -really- be in to the song itself to be able to remember each and every stroke like this ? Does h NP's approach come to you naturally? there is so MUCH going on here..I dont understand how Peart can even duplicate his own stuff ? Very well done to say the least.I saw that Dylan Elise at the jazz festival in New Zealand video

and made me want to forget I ever played,i liked it b4 Youtube and I thought I was an alright drummer. : )

[phantom2089]

I completely agree with you on his drumming, it's a wonder how the man grows older yet still knows every stroke.

Such as 05:03 - 05:43 in this vid.

[davidbrodlie]

what sort of cymbals are u using???

[caribbeansun]

AWESOME! Rush is AMAZING!

[johnnyfoto]

OK ! Lots of work to do here.... For god sakes learn how to tune your drums. sounds like your hitting Bongos

[barnes2526]

Hell yeah! Very solid, amazing job!

[fanofthemusic1090]

Intimidating to say the least. Incredible job.

[waterfingers009]

wet

[Robbow93]

what make is your kit? And brilliant drumming!

[pg49]

Thanks!

My kit is Dw Collector's series.

[albarkm]

your technique is intriguing. Are you self taught? Or possibly left handed?

[pg49]

I'm left handed.

[icydrums]

my favorite cover of this song. great job. and your kit sounds awesome, may i ask you, what are you using to record and make the movie?

[deldine70]

I can't get over the overall sound of your kit, beautiful and perfect job!

[M477]

Good cover, except at 3:10, the ride continues while you hit the rotos.

[Immiddim]

Great job. This is certainly one of Rush's all time greatest songs!

[EliteSPR]

You are by far an AMAZZING DRUMMER! :)

[Taki2007]

I don't know how to express this to you with sincerity over the internet, so I'll just say it. You are the best drummer I have ever seen on youtube that isn't actually Neil Peart or in some other legendary band. You rape at drums. If Travis barker is fresh, you, my friend, are ripe.

[KingXanadu]

i love how golden your kit looks.  superb drumming

[habsfan0001]

Awesome!!!!

[LedZeppelinFan83]

Hey could you plz tell me what those bongo like toms are next to your regular ones?

[pg49]

I have normaly drumset,6",8",10",12",14",16" and 18" tom's and two Roland pd8 pad's,and Roland SPD-S percussio pad.

[gothrulz2003]

what kind of set is that? it sounds amazing..

[shakey64]

Great! I always loved this song..my favorite part was at 4:26 after Kubla Khan. Great drum fill.

[GuitarManRush]

BEST! drum cover that ive seen by FAR! for Rush... you have got some major amazing drumming talent! :) =] 5 stars

[NjkAncen]

no joke your are one of the best drummers on youtube

[lafleursucks]

I am actually laughing this is so good

[rabidbiscuit]

I wish I was HALF as good as you. Nay, a tenth. You are awesome!

[dvision23]

Hands down, best Rush drum covers I've seen.

[rushdrummerYYZ]

nice job, lovin the v pads

[toddod87]

no cowbell bro? and, awesome, but xanadu is on the album fairwell to kings, not snakes and arrows.

[fran812]

strange fact that your drumset is placed for a right-handed and you seem to be left-handed if we watch the ostinattos, but it's a brilliant drumming, also a fantastic song. Congrats!

[pinkfloydmike]

Great sounding kit and cymbals, sound mate.

[voidstuff]

really great drumming.... try la Villa Strangiato song next!

[stephen0793]

Wow excellent, you make Neil Peart proud!

[Preytor]

Amazing cover, but you need some cowbells. I guess I love the cowbell part too much.

Fantastic cover, though!

[okkietroy]

Tubular bells actually

[rockafella11]

that was great. i really enjoyed it.

ur cymbals sound AMAZING

[evvee345]

all i can say is wow. the only thing that could have been better is if you have the bells and chimes and all that stuff.

[propilot1012]

i am learning this song and i can get 1:21 - 1:24 locked down and that is as far as i can play it :(

[dkshotwell]

Very well done. you are going to make some band a great drummer

[jljimenezs]

excellent, is great you take drumming seriously in this decadent world. Best wishes.

[SoulKatcher]

Brilliant...awesome job brother.

[vinyard91]

wow! that was amazing! I really enjoyed watching you play! fantastic job:)

[dylanknights]

flawless

[rushfareak]

Excellent!

[00RUSH00]

I'm an old classic rush fan that was very fun to watch! try differents camera angles next tiem ;P hope to see la villa

[duanehydro]

Very nice. seems like you have it going.

[polock2112]

nicely tuned drums...snare rings to much for me...but w/e...nice playing also :D

[eduzitcho]

That was pretty scary!

Awesome!

[canericankev]

Hey there Dude....your biggest fan here...lol...just wondering if you are on MYSPACE, As I want to add your vids there to my faves...take care, and keep playing :-)

[Carlsbiz]

Well done !! Interesting how you play the ride w/ ur left hand.. And your kit sounds nice...

[BiccusD]

Rock and Roll my friend... very good.

[jphillipps]

Bravo! Nicely done. Love your open handed playing.

[25x100]

Furthermore, I was nice to pg49 and only told him what was incorrect. People like you need to get off your lazy ass and do somethig with your life instead of dribbling and drooling on the xbox you angry child. Please post some videos of your mastery on guitar and drums n00b. LOL.

[geddylee92]

Dude, you are the cum your mother should have swallowed.

You suck more fucking cock than a whore at a penis party, asshole.

[25x100]

Buh bye now. Run along child.

[Emwurst]

I'm pretty sure you just lost the game.

[25x100]

Please post some videos of you doing this fool. You WON'T post ONE single video of you playing either instrument because you're nothing but a wannabe musician, you fucking tool. Until then SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[geddylee92]

I will if you will, old man. At least Ive got the rest of my life to work on my career; youve got like six months before you miss the window.

[25x100]

Old man? lmfao. I've made videos and tooured unlike you child. You have NOTHING to flap on about because you are NOTHING. Keep playing guitar hero chump. HAHAHA.

[25x100]

18 year old punks like you always display their teenage angst you little child. I'll jam away on my guitar while you keep coming back here to be the internet tough guy behind your screen. Welcome to BLOCK child! :)

[geddylee92]

Youre the one that first displayed your "angst" by criticizing pg49, you dried-up, middle aged scuzz. Id bet my best whore that I can outplay you on drums or guitar any day of the week, you ass licking fag.

[25x100]

Awesome drumming dude !!! 5/5 stars !!!

[geddylee92]

Yeah...thats not what you said before, you dog-fucking queer. Go rip off your goddamn dick and SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS.

[25x100]

I'll post a video of me playing along to this exact same song fool. The you'll be on the receiving end of my cock licking it and sucking it. Fag. LMAO.

[geddylee92]

Go ahead and post it, you cum-sucking whore. If I were there with you Id bitch slap you like a red-headed stepchild. KISS MY WHITE ASS!!!!!

[25x100]

18 year old punks like you always diplay their teenage angst child. I'll jam away on my guitar while you keep coming back here to be the internet tough guy behine your screen. Welcome to BLOCK child! :)

[geddylee92]

Almost as good as the professor himself.

[25x100]

Almost as good as the professor himself? If anybody's a bitch, it is you dreamer.

[geddylee92]

Id bet my paycheck that hes a million fucking times better than you, you arrogant snot. Suck my fat cock.

[25x100]

geddylee92, you have NO VIDEOS of your own, NO SUBS, and NO FRIENDS. This shows how immature and arrogant you are you fucking tool. I don't bet people on welfare. run along child!

[geddylee92]

I joined two days ago, you fucking cunt.

[proveit9]

Cool man very entertaining...good job!

[stickks]

Awsome, dude...i totally dig how you play..i like the open grip, and that ride cymbal near your high hat...very cool. .

[MXHOTHEAD]

as a fellow drummer i thought thats was great you have some pretty damb good chops keep it up!!!!!!=) lol

[hogofbullets]

Fucking brilliant playing. I can't believe how picky people can get posting comments on here, pointing out missed snare hits and cymbal pings...you nail almost everything. Seriously excellent.

[stantobob]

niiiice

[25x100]

...And finally @ 7:30 the ride cymbal is actually half time of how you are hitting it. I'm not even a drummer but I just wanted to point it out ,that's all no intention of being mean. Overall I think the feel is excellent and excecuted great. keep up the good work!!!

[pg49]

That ride symbal thing,R30 version Neil play that part like me,but original version he play half time of that.

You are right those other thing's,and there are many other mistakes too,i don't try play 100%like Neil,because i can't do that never.

Thanks for the comments however.

[25x100]

Hey no problems!!! Keep on playing, you are very, very good !!! :D

[25x100]

This is really done well. I did however notice a few minor mistakes.

@ 1:22 the snare shots are slightly incorrect.

@ 2:26 there's a China that you should be hitting, and not the crash.

@ 5:18 slightly incorrect snare shots.

@ 5:27 that high tom needs to be hit again

[stickks]

dude, seriously, hes not neil peart. This is his interpitation of it. Even Neil doesnt play it exactly like on the record...get over yourself

[25x100]

Get over myself?.....No, YOU need to get over yourself. Neil ALWAYS plays it exact but then he changes little things live. I've been listening to Rush for over 25 years bud, so chill the fuck out. I didn't say he was TRYING to be neil dink and I wasn't being a fucking goof about it.

[25x100]

I see you have NO VIDEOS of your own either so shut the fuck up.

[geddylee92]

You actually listed all of his mistakes? You are a bitch.

This stuff is so hard even Neil doesn't play it flawlessly sometimes.

[25x100]

Wow....it like took you 2 weeks to reply?...it must have been a long hard thinking to come up with this reply. LMAO.

[nononsense123]

as much as you are trying to help, you just come off as pedantic. You aren't his teacher.

[KingXanadu]

so good

[KenivaDaSk8a]

impressive. as a rush fan i have to say you've done it justice.

great work!

two thumbs up

[paulie0706]

thats a weird setup u got there.

[Vibratone]

Added to favorites - a joy to watch!

[bassguitarpro88]

nice man, i was jamming along with my bass

[minuteman3]

WOW Love the way that you can be ambidextrous!!!

[DominickBlack]

Good one.

[mortenmat]

ultimo is right, you are one of the best drummers on yotube! excellent job

[fcsoccerW2028]

dang....thats crazy man

[digglerdirk]

OUTSTANDING!

[davibrass]

Huh, you and carter beauford are the only people i have seen play that open hand style...cool

[canericankev]

I see you use Neil's sticks as well....KICK ASS.

[mainmandave]

Well, what can I say.... you kick fucking ass

[ep1226]

Hey 49, how long does it take for you practice and learn a song and put up a video?

Great vid btw.

[pg49]

This one take's about 8-10 hour's(practice)

I play song three time's altogether,and then we choose best one.

[shipbarn]

Excellent drumming. I like the one view with no editing or pans.

[nilsthebig]

ohh wow, you´re great and your kit is awesome...5 stars! please do more videos, its crazy

[canericankev]

I haven't left you a message in awhile 49, but you still rock rush out man...p.s. gave me inspiration to get a set, and I suck, but I will get better in time...keep it going.

[peers40]

Great drumming man! Great song too!
