Rush Tom Sawyer drum cover drummer Rich Martin

[lamentfly]

Dude are you alright ? Are you under meds or something ? Next time try the song "Take it Easy" by the Eagles. That song fits more you're style. You're not cutting the mustard on this tune here at all.

[blondedrummer101]

dude that is one of the sickest kicks ice ever heard. wats it called? and i love this cover u rock man

[FrozenSun416]

Do I see a few Paragons there? good cover btw!

[bigdaddy8675309]

great job as always dude.love this song

[yazzie4boys]

Wow

[MrEGODRUM]

The best drum cover of tom sawyer in Youtube.

[Muzzie0323]

Kick ass cover. I like how you put you own spin on some of the fill's. Excellent job bro.. :)

[falardeaudrummer]

nice playing, you got it almost perfect.. but i just don't like the sound of your drums... It sounds like if the sound was recorded with the camera.... you have mics on your set so maybe it's just the mixing part that you fail..... overall it's a nice cover ;)

[srn46]

good cover, makes me want to start drumming again. Nice!!!

[michelle00012]

I love how you're right on, i dont see you miss a beat

[woopdeefkndoo]

The drums at the end of the solo has to be my favorite part of the song.

[CKDStudios]

nice! but have a little emotion with the playing

[MrPearl123]

what type of kit do you have?

[SicklySavage1]

That was fantastic bro! keep it up!

[SirSilenceDogood]

the guy can play what he wants it sounds good dont question it if it aint broke dont fix it

[zuzanarox]

Nice! How about a request to do 'Limelight' by Rush ? ... the ending of Limelight is so awesome, I always thought Neil Peart was one of the best

[ChiliKC]

I love rush and you played it so good! Well done m8!

[petelenox]

Well done!

[nhrapro840]

thanks

[03eturner]

Very good playing. Good technique. Im surprised that the recording doesnt sound very good considering all of the mics you have hooked up. The cymbals just wash everything out. Maybe you could try less mics, it will still pick up all of the sounds. Nice playing, your really good!

[readyeddy101]

right on

[yalpotnrael]

Excellent work, bro. I'd love to hear you do REO Speedwagon "Roll with the changes"

[nhrapro840]

ok maybe i will get to it

thanks

[DungVids]

@yalpotnrael

Dude, why would you insult a musician that likes Rush by requesting a REO Speedwagon song?? That's like asking Pearl Jam to perform a Lady Ga Ga cover!

[yalpotnrael]

@DungVids

How am I insulting him? Have you looked at his video page? Yes he likes Rush, but he also covers Cheap Trick, Loverboy and Kelly Clarkson! Obviously he likes everything. Why is it an insult to ask for a song that has a really good drum track?

Rich, please chime in and let me know if your were "insulted" because I asked for REO Speedwagon.

[eschulik]

@yalpotnrael He probably would do better on a REO song. His fills here are horrible and his cymbals are horrible sounding and played incorrectly. I know he is putting his own "flavor" on it.

[quietriot03]

That was good. especially rhe drum solo!

[aerocorp123]

dude u rock i wish i could play the drums like tht goodjob

[scorpion160]

Impressive - not an easy feat to accomplish - great work!

[zzman217]

its difficult to stay on time when you have to hear neil playing too! good job man

[Cloudbuster7777]

holy.....shit....

[notinmy5]

That is the best snare ive ever heard whats it called

[nhrapro840]

pearl master studio 14 inch birch

[worldofdrumz]

Great job!!!! It's hard to tell if it's you or Peart!!! Nice.

[journeylive]

dude your a dang good drummer, from one drummer to another great job on this cover.....i believe your kit sounds great is becuz of the mic's. your snare sounds just right....keep up the good work dude, i enjoy your vidz. again, nice job.

[nhrapro840]

[lhdl0809]

[08Peacock]

My favorite is the Zebra cover...Tell me what you want!!! Awesome!!!

[nhrapro840]

[DrumMan1025]

[MetallicaYankee]

GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nhrapro840]

[DrummermanA7X]

[WhiteCougar5]

[51Thundersticks]

What a great job. I hope you are in a band, making lots of money and getting sweet chicks!

Seriously, Excellent work, you just carbon-copied a master!

[nhrapro840]

i wish i was a carbon copy of the master.

thanks for watching and the nice comment.

[tHeTrOoPeR618]

dude yur amazing. u need put put some energy into it!

[real1acer]

I can see a lot of Peart's influence in your drumming.

[nhrapro840]

i have been told that before in reference to drumming manerisms. i have studied and watched him play a lot.

i just need a fraction of his tallent

[sandman44445]

this is one of the hardest drum parts ever, and you perfected it... awesome job

[drumgod123456]

man its really good i dunthink i can do better then that however i ave a smaller drum kis way smaller. but in my opinion i think that the music is playing too loud. but still great job

[JmAA7192]

Dude its good, you need more energy though.

[cavemanking0407]

well look at neil peart, he has like no expression when he plays

[DaddyDrums1]

Very nicely done

[cheesebo5]

2:50 is crazy

[Sternkrieg72]

Yankees?!

Great job, man.

[nhrapro840]

my new vids has no yankees hat :)

[thedckids78]

cool Rush ROCK!!!!!!!

[cashmerestaten]

lovein the sound of the snare!!!

ps. BRUCE WILLIS IS MY FAVORITE BED TIME HERO!!!

[DrummerFrogking]

god ur good i looked at the music score for this and almost cried! i'm going to learn it when i get my new cymbals though :P

[nhrapro840]

break it down into sections and learn it that way. or try to learn it that way. it helped me.

[DrummerFrogking]

waht do u mean by sections? as in feet then hands or vice versa, or do u mean intro-bridge-chorus etc?

[cjthaboss19]

he means like start with the intro - bridg - chorus but slow down the tempo and try to make it perfect

[DrummerFrogking]

ok thanks for all advice!

[shootingdrummer7]

yo dude could u play born to be wild by steppen wolf

[shootingdrummer7]

kik ass dude i wanna learn this song but is friggen hard

[nhrapro840]

it is a tough song.

[thedrummer5735]

u kick ass

[nhrapro840]

thanks

[king8of5drums]

dang u play a lot of good songs

[nhrapro840]

thanks

[rockyhard1]

YYZ is probably more difficult; and from what I've heard. 2112 Part IV is easily the hardest RUSH song to play...with any instrument.

[nhrapro840]

you are probably right

[peps616]

you suck fatty antisocial

[lentz1994]

If he sucks so bad.. why not put one of yourself doing better?

[jtn2895]

lol true :D

[jtn2895]

hey how come every time i hit a tom my snares rattle like crazy

[nhrapro840]

sound waves.

try to tighten up your snare.

also try to change the pitch of the tom.

you are going to get some annoying snare noise.

[jtn2895]

thnx.

[NickStud2013]

great job! took me a while to get those triplet fills but i got it and now this is fun as hell song to play!

[nhrapro840]

awesome

[THEONEZ1]

great stuff, i see u a fan of neil peart well done....

i recorded this song and xanadu myself, like u said it takes lots of practice and u have 2 break it down into bits and learn it bit at a time....

try playing some of jeff capitelli tracks with joe satriani, hes brill drummer...

[nhrapro840]

funny thing is i don't think mr. peart really had to break it down and learn it. from interviews with getty lee neil peart would read the music and play it.

but neil peart would also say to this day "tom sawyer" is a challenging song to perform.

thanks for watching

[onlymodestmouse]

the fills after the guitar solo are mind blowing

[Javic2112]

Great playing! Nice drum kit! Great sound recording!

[nhrapro840]

thanks. judging from your channel, you are a big rush fan. but then what real musician isn't.

[killztenchi1717]

Oh my jesus christ! you fricken rock! ive been watching your videos for 20 minutes now i cant get over how good you are man! keep it up!

[notjustanothersk8er]

lol 999 views :D

[nhrapro840]

just dont turn the numbers over.

[onlymodestmouse]

the fills after the guitar solo are just too mental. my head exploded.

[armydudes45]

how do u learn these songs

[nhrapro840]

break it down into sections. listen to it over and over. then put it all together. practice it over and over.

[skaterblood13]

A GOD IN THE MAKING!

You should be in a Hard core rock band no joke u are A GOD!!!

[francismori7]

You're awesome, keep it up!

[MixolydianNotes]

Hey nice cover!!!!Can you give advice on how to play this song properly?Like at the drum solo,can you give me advice on how to learn it?

[nhrapro840]

check your message board

[babeariff]

nice job really liked it.

[akjohnson5150]

Another RM masterpiece! Especially at 2:32! Personally I would like to see some Blink 182 as well. Travis Barker is one of the best drummers around.

[hfcollins]

another fine job, well done!

do you take requests? if you do, can you cover "First Date" by Blink 182?

[Gorgonsmasher]

no he cant because he wouldnt dare follow rush up with blink one-eighty crap

[hfcollins]

oh im sorry, i don't believe i asked for your opinion, now run along foolish child

btw im trying to learn the song so i'd appreciate a good cover

[nhrapro840]

i should do a 182 song i get a lot of requests for 182 and i dont usually take requests. i have some stuff on the plate right now but i may download it and start learning the song. just heard the song for the first time.

[bengal21]

5 Stars for sure

sweet .

Check out my limelight cover if you have time

[nhrapro840]

i check it out good job

[MasterSighlis555]

[nhrapro840]

[piller35801]

Once again a great job.Your drumming is so tight man.I hope I get this good at some point.

[13NicktheDrummer13]
