[CAFanTom]

Does anyone know what the name of the Rush song he is playing starting at 1:28? It's that little riff they sometimes play at the end of Tom Sawyer when they play it live.

[hobo649]

cygnus X-1

[somtawyer]

That's the song " Cygnus X-1 " , which is also known as the first part of "Hemispheres "

[DAVIDSCOTTMCDONALD]

OFF THE HOOK

[DrumCorpDude2008]

Well done sir. Im only 18 but im a drummer and i don't know where i would be without neal pearts influence on me. Probably the best Rush colletion video i have every seen. Awesome

[ryancousins]

1. you are awesome

2. you must have some major free-time

[sticksbass]

is there really anything better about paiste?

[Seanzo16]

really, there isnt anything better than the other. its all about preference....

[shakahar1]

Another 30 year Rush fan, and I say.. hats off to you! Brilliant!

[sticksbass]

great!

[kbonzie]

Wow! You're a great palyer..Your presentation is flawless. I've been a RUSH fan for 30 years and know much about the band and Neil Peart. Neil is a good man who has lost much..I know, thru your presentation you feel this too! Great job!!!!!!!!!

[matthamil2112]

Spirit of the Radio to YYZ is the best transition, amazing video.

[harrybrandy]

Man, this is fukcing brilliant (excusez les mots)

Pity you didn't do Cinderella man (can't understand

why they never play this live).

Love the fact you choose Losing it!

Masterpiece.

[vineyardedge]

Awesome! :)

[jonny7789]

Amazing! Some excellent song choices! I was surprised to see you chose Losing It. It's an often forgotten masterpiece :-)

[spisforme]

You are a master! Peart would be proud!

[slingshotsoliloquy]

can  we say...epic? great transitions between the songs and good choices. this is win

[dhowser2008]

Great work Jon! :)

[gotmonkeyfinger]

has Neil contacted you to say Thanks for an amazing salute?

[GCCBytor]

nice!

[johnniebak]

Is waanzinnig,maar ik vind alles van Rush al snel goed. Dus ik kan niet echt oordelen!!

[ironman1055]

In 'Leave that thing alone', how do you get that sound on your electric drums?

[iueclocal1]

well done my good man... fuck everyone that says different...

[DWdrummer57]

What kinda b8 pro crash is that by your biggist floor tom?

[bandgeekdrummer13]

too bad you didnt have tom sawyer in there. thats a greeeeeeat one in there and have to have lots of forearm muscle because your pretty much playing 16th notes through the whole thing! XD but anyways, IT SUCKED!!! JK JK

it was freaking awesome dude!! 1000000/1000000

[mahoogie]

Amazing!

[lachie10]

omg awesome. nice choice of songs especially from signals, power windows and vapor trails

[Giovani22]

this guy is a perfect copy of Neil isn't he??? awesome!!! i added it to my favorites.

DO you have a band of your own or somthing??

[rushdrummerYYZ]

great job .. too bad this was made just before s n a

[truckNsonsofmitches]

WOW! I'm Impressed.

[houseoffrankpoland]

[ddrruummmmaann]

Great job man!

[hythoras909]

amazing! i'm speechless.

[LovinScott]

Dude!...That was amazing! That was the best I've ever seen...and you need to be in a band or get independent label! Get an agent SOON if you don't already have one! You kick ass!

[Alguienqueandaporahi]

Very very really very good work!!!

[alanmichaelwong]

Jon, that was simply INCREDIBLE!

[masterjosue24]

excelent!!

honestly, this is the best neil peart's tribute videos I've seen, and let me tell ya, I'VE SEEN TONS OF THEM!! xD, again congratulations and keep rockin'!!

salutes from Chile!, masterjosue24

[adridsadrids]

COMPLIMENTI!!

gran tocco, controllo e impostazione!

:-))

[avenegas2112]

Congratulations my friend...I am a drummer too, and you play very very good...in a few days I am starting my particular drums clases for first time in 10 years...I hope, I'll play like you...see you man...from CHILE

[bdblasting]

mate wot a show you are as good as neil great stuff

[hobo649]

dude best salute ive ever seen.i think i have the same drop clutch as you too.

[drummachine101]

what type and size is that china cymbal on your right side?

[shogunwarrior32]

it's just a cheap Wuhan 14"

[baauum]

Very well done!

[Xshowdaddy]

Hello fellow Neil Fan! You are the closes thing to the original that I've seen! Love what U do.

BTW I use to play with Steve and Joe a long time ago!!!

Tim

[greghco3]

oh man!! really nice.. is the best neil peart salute that i ever see!

[voidstuff]

I agree... It's the best salute I could have imagined.

In youtube I have never seen such a great mix composition and playing of Rush drums!

CONGRATULATIONS!

[shaft9000]

BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!!!

i don't care for many 'tribute' videos, but this is exceptional, and CREATIVE.

great choice of songs.

it's a testament to the greatness of Neil that another would study his work so closely to learn the ways of the master. this is the highest complement to him i've heard yet.

i could nitpick (snare is a little 'off' sounding), BUT a 1:1 'imitation' of his sound would not be as interesting as what you did.

BRAVO!

[sladejam]

I Saw Rush In June 1974 in asbury Park-N.J. They Opened 4 West, Bruce and lang,Been A Fan Ever SINCE I,ve seen Them Ever Tour Since,I Remember When Nobody Knew Who Neil Was,Life Is Funny

[noles33]

i would like to see you play the intro tho "show me dont tell me"

[FuturamaGuy]

Er, it's called "Show Don't Tell" I think.

[jammybng]

excellent job

particularly with 2112, cygnus x-1 and cygnus x-1 book 2

(shame you didn't do la villa strangiato)

[cglcon]

amazin tribute!!

what mics do you use?

[mdz029]

I have been a rush fan since the 70's........you are a credit...superb!!

[Poetavater89]

I loved your medley

[lightningline]

Very nice job...you did some stuff I have never herd and reminded me of some I need to listen to again. Keep up the great work ! :)

[pratt2006]

Warning!

Moelller in use at 3:03...Outstanding job!

[Stripeydave3]

Jon,

As a starting drummer at age 49 you give me hope! I got a lot of practicing to do! That was the best! Neil would be proud!

[sfoist]

defiantly the best peart cover on the tube. you did this justice and im happy someone did this and did NOT butcher it. great work...so.... anything from snakes and arrows in the works? email me dude!

[bsmw2112]

nice work

[shogunwarrior32]

Thanks man..that would be Hemispheres.

Rock on!

Shogun

[pic8158]

I just stumbled onto this video. How absolutely awesome! Fantastic effort, Jon!

[duck341972]

bro youre the best peart cover ive ever heard outfucking standing!!!!

[JOSELITOUK]

Best Neil Peart´s cover on you tube ever. Congratulations dude.

[zothier]

you are the best, great tribute. I´m from El Salvador / Central America.

[rockdrummer2002]

Nice job dude,keep it up by the way what type of heads do you use

[darbyscott]

good at playing the master, but what about coming up with youre own stuff? i dont think so!!!!

[shogunwarrior32]

Ha ha..bro..i've been coming up with my own stuff for 20 years and so burnt out on the original thing which is WHY i'm in a Rush Tribute band now. Pure fun..that's all.

my space / analogkidsdetroit

Peace,

Jon

[joepye]

Neil Peart has been cloned and this guy is the result , Excelent fella .

[avendesoran]

an excellent tribute... 5/5 good job...

I love that first picture of the young Neil on his drum kit.

What a great man. Rush Rules!

[SplinterSplunge]

You didn't do any S&A??? Disappointed. Actually, this is probably the best thing to come out of youtube. Ever.

[shogunwarrior32]

Thanks everyone for all the great comments..very much appreciated.. to try to answer a few questions that came up.. I didn't put anything from S&A because i made this before S&A was out...Yea..just Mapex Birch...the little bell at 1:46 was an old bell my son found hangin in my basement and attached it to the drums.lol..

So thanks all!..these comments really mean a lot to me..Rush Rules!

[SplinterSplunge]

Then what's the last set you show? I could have sworn that is the kit he used to record Snakes and Arrows.

[shogunwarrior32]

You're correct..that pic was taken from his website when they first started recording the album and they revealed his kit on his site.

[gr1moire2112]

Hey great job, really liked the part coming out of YYZ into a section from Signals and then into Distant Early Warning...

[bytorbytor2112]

Fantastic,A great tribute to the great man himself, well done man

[BadBeatleBelgium]

Jon. I spent my past 29 years trying to learn ALL I could of Neil Peart. THIS! is an EXCELLENT!, great tribute!... Bravo brother!

[jdancsecs]

Outstanding drumming and thanks for a great walk down memory lane. I grew up playin drums to "The Professor" and you have done an outstanding job on this tribute.

Thanks!

[eatrush]

to Neil take him years of execution and arrangement and to you days = P

[edunevex]

great one!!!!

congrats for this video man!!!

You´re really good!!

Neil inspires all of us!!

[jlamb666]

kick ass drum sound...Tama??

[PragueMeddler]

Appears to be a Mapex M Birch, actually. At least to my eyes it does. Just thought I'd try and help. I agree though, it's a killer sound, fit for a killer player. :)

[Toddsmith311]

you know, i already commented once, but i have to say that after watching that again that you are a very talented musician. i used to play along to rush, but never like that!! kudos

[Toddsmith311]

excellent

[XTreMeTVP]

kick ass man. fuckin' flawless. nice pick of songs too :)

i'm going to see them in chicago and detroit june 9th and june 10th.

[torturekiller2006]

That was absolutely flawless! That medley was seamless! And your drumming was damn near spot-on with the original, like %99.99999999999999999999999! Fucking A' Right man, good show!!!!!!!

[nopast68]

That was just great Shogun....not only nailing the drum parts but selecting the sections/time to play and the overall production was just awesome. You should get some sort of grammy or something for this...hehe ;)

[Giovani22]

Oh did i mention im going to see them this sunday in fort lauderdale fl ...I GOT GREAT SEATS!! im going to be up loading his drum solo on you tube look 4 NEIL PEART UP CLOSE

[Giovani22]

Man let me tell you ..over the years i'v seen a lot drummers trying to imitate or mimic Neil's lics and grooves ,dude let me tell you that was right on !!!

[gotmonkeyfinger]

I totaly understand your passion for the Greatst band in the world of all time and you put it together very nicly. fantastic job.

[bfntn]

Yeah. Loooong time Rush fan.

You're awesome.

[princeofpersia4life]

that was totaly awesome man, keep it up

[drumnjoe1]

any one know what software to use to put clips like that together

[Nik0906]

I have seen Neil since 79 and I have to say you were the closest yet!

[fizzlebug]

NICE WORK MAN!!! That was extreme!

[StormeeNormBeaver]

wicked... loved hearing "Losing It" off of Subdivisions... great mic work... lots of practice and arrangement... way2go... Norm

[Steveadore]

That was awesome playing and an excellent show, great camera work and album insertion I'm forwarding this to a few Neil fans to see how many songs they can name, a fun test for  all.

Cheers

[rushinchris]

excellent show, excellent choices, hope to run into you in a club one year with my crate amp by my side!

pete in florida

[mikeanelson]

Great Job.

[Wyldephang]

Excellent medley. I like how you placed "Where's My Thing?" next to "Leave That Thing Alone," two underrated instrumentals. Awesome playing, too. Mrsiix, the song at 1:28 is the first part of "Cygnus X-1: The Voyage".

[mrsiix]

can someone tell me the name of the song at 01:28

[darrin924]

cygnus X-1

[mrsiix]

thanks

[mrsiix]

can someone tell me the name of the song at 01:28

[rushfreak707]

that was some of the most amazing drumming i have ever heared (besides Neil Peart) but still....that was ver very good and keep up the good work!

[DJFMasters3]

Being a Studio Drummer for 21 years, I must say you're quite an accomplished drummer. Allthough there's a few techniques missing, It may just be your style that differentiates from the original recording, which by all means was NOT a bad thing ...at any rate, thank you for sharing your talent with us. I've been a Neil fan for YEARS...You do him justice well, If I were neil, I'd be honored to have you Imitate, or at least play my stuff. Cheers!

[jbird3]

we want to see you play your own stuff

[USNMA3]

you are my new idol jon....flawless

[USNMA3]

you are my new idol jon....flawless

[dropehe]

i admire you so much, you are truly an inspiration, aswell as a peart double!!! bravado sir, x

[mame1966]

bravo!

[dannyknapp]

badass !

[FlowinOwenD]

Very nice salute to the professor! well done! RUSH FOREVER!

[crimn]

simply awesome!! love the sound of your kit, especially the snare. i noticed you left out the first album.some of the tunes you picked were

a little suprising, especially countdown. would have rather heard subdivisions.

[bigdaddymascaras]

your confusing "countdown" with "losing it".but i agree with you, would've loved to see subdivisions. great job on this vid though. makes me want to practice more.

[floouk]

Sorry, I posted before I read your reply DOH!!

[floouk]

Countdown?  Are you sure?

[floouk]

It wasn't "countdown" he played, it was the instrumental section of "Losing It." That's what you must have meant.

[bigdaddymascaras]

that's what i meant, yes. i had the pleasure of seeing" countdown "live during the signals tour. i wish someone would put up a video of rush doing that song live. has anyone ever seen them do "losing it "live?

[tapiakenny]

VERY VERY COOL MY FRIEND!! CHEERS!

[mdover95]

Great vid montage and awesome playing! Salude!

[camp69]

I'm impressed.

[brianjca]

Well done, a great tribute!

[wreckerpecker]

the transition to counterparts was the only part that i saw on ya

Very nice

[timmayi2]

haha nice dude

[timinatore]

I've been a Rush fan for 3 decades now, and WOW. This guy can flat beat the skins. Keep it up. Neil is beyond a doubt my favorite percussionist, and this kid definitely has talent. If you close your eyes and listen to what he does, you wouldn't know it wasn't Peart. Way Impressed.

[gallupi1965]

Excellent work!! Great sounding kit too!!

[jasonwhitedrum]

I'm not a big fan of people spending their time trying to play other people's stuff,but this is clearly an exceptional effort!!You obviously spent alot of time and energy on this project-you too are obviously an incredible drummer! Your playing was relaxed and your execution seemed effortless!Good job mate!!!

[PragueMeddler]

Amazingly executed, mate. I'm a drummer and a huge Rush fan myself, and I spotted very very few missed beats or fills. Only two, I believe, which is a heck of a lot more than I can say for myself when playing Rush!

Out of curiosity, is that a Mapex M Birch you're playing on?

[MrDeppness]

Really good job both playing with the music and recording it. How did you set up the mics?? Awesome!

[StarOceanBoy]

A salute from Chile,

so nice drummer and very nice influences, good job, and make a video of "Tiempo de Festival" of Dave Weckl plz!!

[tunnric]

excelente

[iwannaflybutpancakes]

The more I see this, the better it gets. What's your cymbal setup? I need to look into getting some just like that.

[keifer1369]

Fuckin ay dude, that was the sheeeeit!!!! I gotta go back in the woodshed now....

[pearldrummer1993]

woah what was that little bell at 1:46

[Neilpeartfan]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­#1

[minuteman3]

Rock it out dude!!!!

[rnt77]

Great Job!! Professional video as well!!

[Metalman]

I've already seen this like 50 times but I had to watch it again. You rock dude.

[mrthundaboots]

Hey shogun.I play in the only rush tribute band in germany and I must say you really did your homework.Big thank-you's go around the world!

[NYGSD]

Excellent!!!!

[BeatNick13]

What kind of toms does neil peart use? Like the brand. I really want to know.

[TrooperClerk]

DW Drums. The Professor has used them since for who knows how long?

[inbloom09]

He only recently started using DW. In the past he has used Rogers, Slingerland, Tama, and Ludwig.

[rays2112]

1996

[cochodepokeria]

very nice man, sounds great and look very cool

[rushamania]

Excellent....you're missing your calling in life!

[MichaelG1V]

That was pretty awesome- i havn't seen anything like that on youtube. Hey what's that little bell thing that you used on Cygus X-1 Book II?

[rmviel]

Very good indeed!!

[beefy666]

What is the song list?

[shogunwarrior32]

[shogunwarrior32]

[liveevil9081]

I wish I could drum like you man. Good job

[codematrix]

Man, you got it downpat. Awesome...for awhile I thought you were actually Neil.

[sbw999]

Been following Rush since 1976. Im also a drummer influenced by Peart and now Portnoy of DT. You are an EXCELLENT drummer; I loved this video. Keep rockin...

[cirodrummer]

great tribute man =)

by the way,u look like neil :P

[cfx5000]

astrotama is better

[lancekasten]

Son of a bitch dude!!!!!! That was money! I'm speechless. I've been a Rush fan since 1976 and that is the best Neil tribute I have ever heard or seen. First class my friend. I'm going to atleast 4 venues on the East Coast for the 08' second helping tour. Can't freakin wait! Thanks for the cudos on my air drums video and look forward to your Snakes and Arrows tribute. Rush is the greatest band in the world. Period.

Also saw your Tommy the Cat rendition. Holy shit man you rock!

[hannahevan]

More please! That was sooooo cool.

[Hmarie1990]

Hey Man, that's some Awesome shit.... Would love to hear more!!!!

[jim48725]

Excellent Drummer!!! Excellent Video! Thanks.

[abgulo]

Honestly, the best youtube video i've ever seen... seriously...

Drummer my self and a rush fan, you are so precise, and man... thanks for the video.

[dinglenutzz]

hmmm think this dood has four way independance?

dood you own, i wish i could jam my bass with you, im a huge Rush fan and now the lines from almost every rush tune...but i have never seen a drummer be so exact as you...a true pleasure brother .....

[MikeMichalkow]

FANTASTIC!!!

[visionmaster153]

Peacable Kingdom !!

Excellent !

Great way to end !!

Bravo !

[visionmaster153]

Great Job !!!

RUSH - CANADA'S GREATEST EXPORT

[lupine73]

Hmm... Dunno if you're still taking requests or not, Jon, but if you are...

Losing It in its entirety and Middletown Dreams! :) Two fav's and, personally, I find Losing It to be very fun and challenging to "nail". Got a feeling you'd pull it off very well.

[visionmaster153]

Great choices ... I love how Neil uses the snare sparingly on Signals ... and MD is one of my favs, too !!

[dacheesewalks]

MAn, its DaCheeseWalks here....amazing!!!!
