  • In the pocket dude! Not an easy song to play!

  • You're so concentrated, and yet you play naturally.

  • The Incredible Hulk on drums! Good playing bro!

  • ive been learning this song, I thought I was pretty good but damn. You rock dude! Your sense of time and natural musicianship are amazing.

  • Great cover. But you should improve one thing, ...... Gods don't show emotions.:)

  • ur amazing i lie ur drume , nd i have drume i drummer just like u everyday i learn it by new music :)

  • man, you're a machine gun.

  • great drumming you know your shit good, and Neil Peart drumming ain't easy so

    keep it up you got it man .

  • Very nice. Looks like such fun.

  • Awesome.

  • Magic.., I can usualy pick a fault with anyone, but you own this song...

    Like Danzig with talent on the drums, lol.

    YOU ROCK!

  • This is awesome!

  • hell yes, man! you should post more of these!

  • you should do inside the fire by disturbed

  • Hey man I've seen some of your stuff before. This one was great... I love's me some Neil! Happy New Year! Keep it up! By the way. I've got the same Electronic Set! This thing is a blast!

  • Great cover. Not a lot of guys can cover Neil Peart very well like this. Great song choice to cover as well.

  • I like the improve you made with the bell! holy crap you are really amazing.

    I liked your Aenema cover too! :)

  • lol...I never would have thought you would have done this song....LOL cuz you are like RAAAR!!!! doing all those metal songs ....lol

  • Thats the best cover ever! Your an awesome drummer man!

  • You drum like I do......you feel it inside....awesome job dude!!!!!!

  • I agree with the person below me, do a parkway drive cover! that would be buttery! and you are a god damn good drummer

  • Haha the lights add a nice touch lol.

    And great job on playing one of my favorite songs ever :)

    It would be awesome if you did a Parkway drive cover or if not at least check them out they're badass.

    Cheers.

  • you put a lot of feeling into all of your playing dude. nice.

  • That was the most powerful thing I ever saw. i dont ever post on youtube, but that was outstanding. Dont ever stop playing.

  • INCREDIBLE!

  • you're really cool dude!

  • Your precision and fury are incredible. You could very easily do a note-for-note cover of this song.

    Very well done.

  • extraordinary.  5 stars!

  • Good job, but try popping your wrists more

  • Fuck Off!

  • At last a drummer who mistreats his skins

    like uncle Neil.

    Well played, and keep on tearing it up.

  • well said

  • the next Neil Peart :)

  • wow now u do rush. how much better can it get

  • you are absoulutly amazing!

  • wow, you kicked the shit out of this song, and i mean you fucking rule

  • Truly fantastic. I mean really fucking awesome. You make me love Rush even more and I didn't think I could. How can something so complex sound so damn good?

  • sucks they pulled the pantera one cowboys from hell was my fav this guy did anywho still very sweet peace

  • Beat the HELL out of it! Great clip!

  • Awesome one!

  • Neil Pert is better...well becuz he is neil pert..

  • this song and cover are fucking awesome

  • This is what Rush would be like if they were heavy metal. lol. Great cover man

  • Great job man! All I need to say is put more Rush! You've only got two on your deal.

  • Sweet very nice

  • Great!!!!!!!!

  • average at best

  • intense shit... 5 stars

  • Do your sticks fly out of your hands alot?

  • Nice dude, but the way you move you're body definitely suggests hard rock and metal when you drum. It's a bit funky to watch you play a song like Red Barchetta or Tom Sawyer.

    Or maybe I'm just weird o.O

  • GREAT JOB. Your drumming is excellent. The only issue I see is that you are a little skinny and should probably start working out.

    Kidding aside...awesome drumming!

  • You should do Cygnus X-1. I wanna see that.

  • awesome job man 5 stars

  • great playing man not exactly what neil does but still a pretty good rendition. I love your work. you should do way more of the professors work. definately proves your talent more than playing metallica and slipknot. but wonderful job man.

  • If you read his profile, he said he is not exactly trying to copy the drummer's style.

    He tries to add his own.

  • U rule Smith!!Nice Work. Max (Italy)

  • Your best cover hands down! why don't you cover more Neil Peart madness! Well you totally rock! Keep em amazin vids comin! GOD! YOU'RE TOTALLY AMAZIN!

  • This video deserves more credit. This style can be much harder than metal...messing up is way more obvious.

  • One musician to another... One of 17 years of experience I might add... Simply Fucking Amazing, Dude. I would love to Rock some of the songs with you. You kick ass. Holy fuckin shit bro

  • k now heres a song! that is amazing, and looks hard as hell on drums sure is on guitar.So its gotta BE on drums!:),NICE MAN 5 STARS FOR SURE!=]

  • you'd make neal peart proud

  • I LOVE this video - AWESOME song/playing! I'm gonna add this to the playlist!

  • you should do the trees too

  • amazing cover, youre a great drummer, and rush is a great band

  • just brillant as hell,nobody could play this better,great job i love this song!!!

  • This guy's a great drummer and should be in a band, have a record deal and be touring, but thanks to illegal downloading and file sharing the music industry is almost dead, there's no money for record companies to make from C.D sales, and new bands and great players like this guy have now got almost no chance of getting anywhere. The fans file share and download can thank themselves for this mess....well done..!!!

  • I think you've got it wrong. The record industry is quite thriving and not "almost dead". They still make about 70% of the money from CD sales, while the artists are getting about 10%. The only "mess" that actually exists is the one that the record companies made by exploiting their artists.

  • With the green light, it looks like "Hulk on Drums" ;-) Great Job, Dude! 5*

  • Now here's a song where you have no choice but to be busy! Nice work.

  • the sound is so perfect great job dude

  • I am in awe. Not only did you perform my favorite Rush song, but put on the most amazing drum performance I've seen.

    I think you'd enjoy performing YYZ by Rush, and Four Sticks by Led Zeppelin, and a lot of us would enjoy watching you perform them =D

  • Are you Neil Peart? lol

  • Wondering if you did any Rush but I got to your last page, awesome job man.

  • Jesus Christ dude....why r u on you tube?

    thats some kinda talent ya got there!!!

  • bro your so smooth.....your fills and sense of timing is second to none what i love about you is some musicians are so technical to the point of them being robots but you can tell you have passion and heart and i will take that any day over exact note for note....class job

  • Thank you!!! I appreciate it

  • Great job man! All I need to say is put more Rush! You've only got two on your deal.

  • attention to detail is definately one of yer strong suits!

  • gotta love that kit! yeah!

  • very well done dude!

  • wow this is super good!

  • uve gotta be awesome if u can drum like neil perit! 5/5!

  • The was very entertaining to watch. Red Barchetta has got to be my alltime favorite Rush tune. You nailed it, dude! Do you play along to the album track, or is the audio track added separately to your live video? Just curious because I want to start posting some vids of my own. Great playing again and will check out more of your stuff.

  • Awesome drumming man! I couldn't play that if I practiced for 5 years! Nice!

  • You could almost be competition for neil peart. You're fukin awesome!

  • Fantastic

  • Great choice - nice to see you can do 'subtle'. Awesome.

  • awesome simply awesome. Would love to see more Rush songs because it's nice to see a drummer that can actually drum a Rush song.

  • Very cool, Ive been looking at your other tunes, and this one struck me the most, just because Im a huge RUSH fan. I think Neil would be proud to see this clip. You do any Dream Theater?
