YYZ Drum Solo from Exit Stage Left

[executeorders]

solid!

[rcsrule18]

Amazing job!! Are those pearl tri-bells that you are using during the cowbell part? I want those for my set lol. Your set looks awesome as well and you should get a tiny bass drum in the same white finish plus some old-school simmons pads, another snare, hi- hat and another china mounted on the bass drum and put them behind your kit. It would just be like Neil's set (minus the revolving drum riser).

[DaDrummerful]

fuck that huge tama

[daysel123]

neil peart might be good but his style is gay as fuck. ...who the hell still listens to Rush?

[pajamadrummer127]

@daysel123 well there one of the biggest bands in the world so..alot of fucking people

[drummnagain]

@daysel123 lol@u...youtube any live Rush video from 2011 and you will see the seats are still full. kthxbai

on another note...very well done mr. sillers. i believe neil would have an ear to ear grin the entire time he watched this:) keep up the good work and may Rush live on for many more years!!

[FULLBLOWN495]

Jesus Christ. That was fn awesome. An I the only one who thinks this guy could give Neil a run for his money?

[Rockinnsk8inallday]

Also, i love when you do that shaking your head thing in the beginning

[j123456701]

[filthyspigot]

Bitchin'

[cofiddle]

i wanna hear this all with good mics and good recording.... amazing job though

[PaulMedasie]

68 people have broken arms!

[ollieskins]

Not to sound like a shoemaker, but you skipped the hardest part imo which is the high tom part after the snare/hi hat intro.

[FamGuyJeff]

I for one hope that is NOT fake! This was really, really good! And I'm a HUGE Neil Peart and RUSH fan... I think Neil Peart would be honored by this!!

[smoothcriminal268]

Huh....well....I just found out I can't play drums

[InfektionFoxtrot]

@smoothcriminal268 yeah me 2 =/

[FamGuyJeff]

@smoothcriminal268 WHAT? This dude is AWESOME! He's no Neil Peart, but it was GOOD! You don't know music

[bazybeats]

Wow...Just amazing.  BzB :-)

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

Amazing job! But I'm surprised you don't know that at 0:44 seconds, and after, he closes the high hat after hitting it open. Other than that, big ups, bro! U have the whole kit! That was an amazing job of emulating the professor!

[bunner24]

sick.

[thelopeisback]

my favorite part will forever and always be the cowbell solo

[Tallulah777]

How much were the gong drum and concert toms !!!?????!!

[Shabadoop]

sweet ass kit bro very sick. check out my villa cover thanks. /watch?v=xshEO2BLzAo

[toshocrap]

[taklamakan666]

Yes Great solo........:-)

[TheAntiLeft]

Nice! Now do something from Tool in tribute to Danny Carey.

[JBL8863]

Amazing drumming !!!!

[SonTannerProductions]

Thumbs up if you think it sounds better outside!

[3LMUZIKAL]

dude.. you kitt wouldd look a milliiiioooonnnn times better on a rack

[stallionplaya52]

That was damn for a Peart drum solo cover.

[TheLar1969]

That was so AWESOME!!!

[newm3driver]

you need to watch the 12 year old over at OWENSDRUMMING play Peart.... the kid is amazing!

[shenstone]

i love the original solo and i gotta say you pretty much nailed that - great vid thanks :-)

[llxTheCmanxll]

i think i just shit myself...

[valentodrumer1]

I counted them all and there are 2 tombs xD

[JCustomZ]

where can i get that set of cowbells. Give me info Brand, price etc

[JapNinja69]

66 people are just jealous that they don't have beastly drum skills like this guy

[Trekker1801]

See kids...practice does make perfect! Good job brother...

[rockfan1]

Hoooly shit!

Two thumbs up!

[actiondown]

I wish he'd just calm the f*** down slow down take a chill pill. Other than that wasnt too horribly bad

[Dakotaspani]

66 people are VERY jealous of this god ^^^

[jsillers]

Concert toms

[rudiiwii1]

how are the high pitch toms called?

[hitopsful]

1:19 best part of the solo and great job man!

[yamahitas]

you need teach somethings to mr. peart. oh yes

[wp08021]

good shit man, just like neil, only on a better kit, tama blows everyone away

[yankeetitan43]

you're sick man, lol, i fancied myself a decent drummer for years but watching that made me realize the depth of my suckiness, oh well, guess i'll stick to singing. Thanks for posting your stuff, you Are da man!

[Doodleydrums]

You make it look so goddam easy!!

[Moonchild7o7]

Excellent!! A few parts were just a tad faster as far as tempo goes, if you are matching apples for apples off Exit.. Stage Left. Other than that you rocked it the fuck out!!

[GIRiskewl0823]

that wass soo bosss!!! :D

[12guitdown]

Great job!!! Being a drummer for ten years and having listened to the solo hundreds of times i don't think you're gonna find a better cover on youtube. It was a little fast tho.

[BeatlesMadeTheWorld]

"He than died at 2:34"

[Xrball]

0:27

[bobs718]

Very good , great video . See my videos , (BANDA TRAMPO) , of boituva . Comment if you like !

[FOBsucksgayguys]

@jsillers nice ass drumset man it's not only the set it's amazing drumming too forget almostskater he's Hella jealous not only him I'm jealous too

[destroyer0076]

This video remind me of a Peter criss solo from the 70's !!!! Either way very gd job!!! Oh except for the double bass which they didnt have bac then !!!

[destroyer0076]

This video remind me of a Peter criss solo from the 70's !!!! Either way very gd job!!!!

[777zippy777]

skater's a douchebag. YOU have amazing talent. Keep it up and keep ignoring the jealous loser trolls.

[PacificDrummer112]

you need to mic your drums

[pokelove7]

skater is just sad cuz he cant play drums like you

[tednugentlives]

Phenominal, man. Theres a lot of dipsh*ts posting here. Ignore them, you did the solo justice.

[zeroturbulence]

Dude I've been a rush fan since 1980 and a drummer since then too and man you nailed this solo! Great job!!

[greenday2597]

dasn einzigtes geile ist der drummelwirbel am anfang der rest is kacke

[TheMaster8061]

u know u really shouldn't copy someone else's drum solo. u should create your own like i did.

[Downbeat1984]

well...skaters a douche...solid work my friend

[TruckerMurph]

well done man!!

[lyticityl]

you definitely put some time and effort into learning that. well done dude.

[iamcyberpunk68]

sound like fuck chief.

[porkythepig007]

Dude, you rock. Nice drumming!!!!

[Akin2020]

awesome job man, dont listen to all the negative comments. That was incredible

[mike23md]

Um, was that completely rushed or what. it was good that you can mimic a lot of what he does, but with out the stick control in which Neil does it. And one thing I cannot stand is people mimicking Neil's set. Why? Play how you feel comfortable cause he can afford to have all that crap. I can play most of his songs on my 6 piece Yamaha with no problem navigating around the set.

[porkythepig007]

@mike23md --- Hey Mike, put up or f'n shut up. Why don't you put the damn video of you doing a better job up? Or would that be calling you out? Huh?

[MrBrown743]

Why would 63 people dislike this video?

[ilikeamp]

cowbell is honestly the best part

[DXslilgangsta]

This is so FAKE!!!!

It's obviously Neil Peart in disguise

[METALkid614]

Awesome!

[MrPDPdrummer]

i know he didnt copy the solo but even if he did that doesnt make him suck at drumming or gay. Your awsome btw

[thebigguyconnor]

awesome, you added in the YYZ fill at the end, like it was on the live album!

[Mexico2351]

yea TAMA drums kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whitewzl]

wow nice kit!

[thisisoutragious]

jesus christ what band do you play for?

[tvvsradio]

good job man!

[GonzaIronMaiden]

Youre Tama kit its freaking beautiful i wanna buy it to you what kind of Tama is it?

[papert23]

Wow...

[leelifeson]

wow! excellent job.

[hescottbeats1]

I just wanna know how you hung your camera from the ceiling fan? great solo dude! going to see rush oct 1. super stoked

[aligatorsandwitch72]

G'Dayam dude. Fucking sick

[therevengeofficial]

dude the only part that i could notice that ws different was the cow bells cause of the recording but that was pfft.. pretty much exactly it that was actually amazing

[Dr3amTh3ater]

ohhhhh hell yea! awesome!

[mmaier2112]

Damn fine interpretation, sir!

[r3dfiv3]

This solo also changed my life. Thx for sharing your version :)

[343434richie]

i dont see certain peoples problem with this performance its a very good attempt im a grade 8 drummer and im struggling with parts of this-so take no notice of the naysayers keep going keep uploading

[Raydungey]

Nice chops! A bit too "Rushed" lol, try slowing it down a bit. Other then that, great job dude c

[Chumpmaster65]

really great, but it needs more cowbell

[mk5721]

Sweet.

I wish Neil still played Tama or Ludwig. Am I the only person who thinks his DW's sound like crap???

[TheMaster8061]

u can afford a huge drum set but u cant afford mics

[biddle73]

very legitimate

[assultbeast9]

fucking nice man

[mah1954]

Hey Johnny, fantastic solo ! You play as well as Neil Peart !

[LTLfilms]

WTF????? 10 toms??????

[ragnoark]

@LTLfilms no.. 11

[LTLfilms]

@ragnoark hollllyyyy shit!!!!

[evilcarnies]

Wow, I loved the entire thing, but that part with the cowbells was especially amazing.

By the way, if you ever get a chance, you should try that part you started at 1:11 with the snare off. I tried it just yesterday and it sounded pretty cool. It's as close as you can get to one of Neil's odd sounding drums on the exotic side of his drum set.

[jkoveos]

You've got the rifs bro!

[dmcncali33]

Dude, that was awesome!

[WaggunTin]

this is originally Neil Peart's solo jsillers and Mike Portnoy did a COVER of it, I just wanted to clear things up.

Great solo btw, sounds fantastic, you put your own twist on it

[36742650885]

great job buddy!! you rock!!

[wannabeKeithMoon]

y the heck r people commenting bad on this????? this is amazing!!! and how did you get that kit????? God bless

[Natalya1sFit]

wow dude...wow..how long did it take you to collect that kit?

[jpque27]

Holy crap man, its all in the details... Amazing!

[goomer97]

neil pert is the best drummer in the world. i love how it seems like theres more than one person drumming but its only him. and also how he always has more than one beat going. :)

[Retro80sDude]

Good solo. All of the parts (i.e. snare, bass drum triplets, cowbell, gong bass drum) all in the correct order. It's one of the closest attempts that I have heard. The only negative thing that I can think of is maybe just try and slow everything down a little, but that's just me. Great job.

[chicostixx]

I had to see what all the hype AlmostSkater789 was about....Dude! jsillers plays with style,finese,timing,and a even tempo!!. jsillers just owned ANYTHING AlmostSkater789 THINKS he can play!!. Jacksondrummer40 mentioned a drum off...If that were to EVER happen, jsillers would easily blow AlmostSkater789 away just by showing up!. AlmostSkater789 why dont you try using a metronome or click track and learn how to play and stop making yourself so arrogant to those who are not EVEN in your league.

[cschwab771]

Repsect

[fund4ment]

You fucking hater will be lucky just to be able to play like him in the first few seconds..please give respectful comments or just fuck off and fuck your dog..

[soundsatdjs1964]

Not bad!

[uarentascoolasme]

awesome dude

[davpis2k9]

Vety nice

[Flyfar420]

Oh my GOD. Anyone else agree? Best drum solo I've EVER seen. Expecially for a COVER. So perfect. Great job....GREAT JOB.

[GD717]

Fuck ... Me ! :Omfg! That was THEE best solo I have EVER seen by a non-professional Drummer. A pro drummer is what you should be! No doubt about it.

[ErickSartorelli]

Hi Johnny, I´ve been playing drums for 22 years now, and I have to say that you did a fantastic job covering this classic solo, congratulations!

[fluffyguitarist]

insane

[rasenganbeast]

damn you go hard yu beast

[AlmostSkater789]

this guy sucks he stole mike portnoys drum sole look up mike portnoy look at the first video this guy took this solo from mike

[jsillers]

@AlmostSkater789 I never comment on dumb comments but you my friend are dumb.

[AlmostSkater789]

@jsillers thanks man means a lot

[monkeybutler20]

@jsillers AlmostSkater789 is more like generall jackassery

[TheMrnerfdoger09]

@AlmostSkater789 thats a neil peart drum solo

[stass123]

@AlmostSkater789

your are very dumb guy

[animelink]

@AlmostSkater789

I watched some of your video, skater. You're the worst drummer I've ever fucking seen.

[TRIPPgothic]

@AlmostSkater789

my question to u is y do u have this video favorited if your talking crap bout it

[terraphon]

@AlmostSkater789 Wow, dude...You fail in the worst way possible.

Seriously, you're an idiot.

[mmaier2112]

@AlmostSkater789 How do you remember to breathe? 

[porkythepig007]

@AlmostSkater789 Dude, go crawl back into the fucking hole you came from. You = Idiot.

[dpgiaca97]

@AlmostSkater789 Dude that was the rush tribute, it was an ode to neil, the solos are all similar

[KyleVBothell]

@AlmostSkater789 if you thing jsillers sucks, than you don't know a thing about drumming because that vidio was amazing.

[AlmostSkater789]

wow your gay you took half of this solo from mike portnoy from dream theater look up mike portnoy everybody its the fiorst video put this link in the address bar and look at 0:45 to the end

[jsillers]

@AlmostSkater789 Mike Portnoy is doing a cover of the same solo I am. The video is shot while playing with his RUSH tribute band. You = Dumb. Now get back in the basement and practice cause I watched about 3 seconds of one your videos and it sucked. Me = Win.

[AlmostSkater789]

@jsillers hahah dude ik it sucks hahha lols i wasnt saying you sucked i was saying that mike was doin that solo

[mryamaha31]

@jsillers

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonnyharhar12]

@AlmostSkater789 sir, how long have you been playing. because I have not been playing even a year and I am way better than you. but not better than this guy. I watched Neil peart do this and it sounds almost the exact same. so shut up.

[jacksondrummer40]

@AlmostSkater789 I also watched one of your videos and, the truth is, this dude would crap all over your face in a drum off. Take yourself, multiply it by 47, and you get this guy. Think about your own skills when you go trollin on a great drummers video man. The whole point is to sound like Mike Portnoy! Because hes playing to Mike Portnoy. You shoulda had a v8.

You put the great name of TAMA to shame.

[sirrapeful]

@AlmostSkater789

you have the cheek to even comment on this video. I've seen yours, are you not embarrassed uploading such sad fuckin shit? you really should try killing yourself.

[Mr12Stringer]

@AlmostSkater789 ya you fucking idiot ive seen your videos, and they stink like shit

[R1PD1O]

@AlmostSkater789 It's Neil Peart's drum solo And I Think Rush Is A lot Older Then dream theater And Trust Me I saw Them Both And I Both Love The Drumers

[bigtank2008]

@AlmostSkater789 you seriously have the nerve to comment??? weather this guy is doing a cover version or not this is fucking most awesomeness compared to yours which resembles timmy from southpark having a fit , you= gay i havent played drum's in the past 2 years sadly coz i had to give up the space they were kept in before that ive played for 10 years an am only 23 if u gave me a kit an set me a challenge even i would blow u away, not as good as this dude can but yer no anyway u suck ^^

[Paintballdrumz]

@AlmostSkater789 haha jsillers ownd ur punk ass

[DuckerMan]

@AlmostSkater789 you sir are an idiot.

[Bluemoon4655]

@AlmostSkater789 if that were true, does it even matter. and you dont need to get on him so harshly about it. nice playin jsillers btw

[drummernezzy]

nice tribute--I want your kit in black. I use the Roll the Bones era set-up--double pedal/one kick drum. If you take that to gigs I think it would suck carrying two bass drums, a gong bass drum and 2 floor toms--but more fun right?

[Pasi130]

awesome man! very varying styles of drumming, and great cordination and a kick-ass kit too!, keep it up (Y)

[idrum4jesus767]

(captain): turn on beast mode

(jsillers): no prob

[Xplorer450]

dude your fuking sick

[GhosterAndRush35]

your a very very VERY awesome and talented drummer but no one will ever be able to like neil peart............

[TheEdawg42]

wow that aws pretty frickin amazing and nise set



[alrobjacon]

big deal... i can do that... NOT! In truth, an awesome, enviable tribute to arguably the greatest drummer on the planet. Damn fine kit too! Thanks for posting..

[CHEESEBURGER10000]

wow u have the exact setup as neil for the first like 30 years of his career=)

[12sandwicheatin]

is that an old artstar or superstar? almost an exact copy of neals! great chops! almost the solo exactly! the sound isnt so great tho!

[TheMaster8061]

why does everyone think its from exit stage left

[CHEESEBURGER10000]

@TheMaster8061 cuz it is!
