Rush - Tom Sawyer Peart

[rlblite]

My friend, you are AWESOME!

[cicaesp2]

yep why hate, good job sir

[tjs2474]

haters... kids got talent and holds his own. Nobody's Neil Peart, but we need people who want to...

[LOLKloklok]

Your not playing with the Hi-Hat correctly!

[johnjacop]

impressive.. nice timing and good job on the solo fuck the haters this is a difficult sont to play

[sentinal1]

I agree he doesnt look like hes having fun but it is a tough song to do.....GOOD JOB

[jokebooks]

Very nice !



[madtiger111]

Fuck the haters. You did good, son.

[TomGuarino1]

Tough song...nice job!

[crazydrummerguy1]

shit hot cover man!

[KPHiL25]

good job playing, but that is the worst bass drum i have ever heard

[malkincards]

@KPHiL25 CORRECT...

[proslice56]

wow man dont listen to all the jokers out there that wish they could play as good as u...fact of the matter is is someone does a put down on that riff u played they cant even find a drumstick in their hands....gr8 job....ps i am a drummer

[isisyea]

y cuando despertaste estabas meado y eyaculado........te falta mucho niño........mucho

[bonerofdeath]

good job man, there's a lot of pricks out there that talk shit. We know you're not Neil Peart, but that doesn't mean you can't do a cover of a Rush song.

[baritoneman96]

your snare sounds funny to me...

[teddydavis4]

Nicely done!

[Betachiken]

all of your equipment sounds like crap....

[littlemet1798]

ok 1 u dnt change the song u play exactly the way it is played on moving pictures and if u cant play it tht way dnt play it at all and 2 ur not neil peart so stop dreaming

[wesleyk200024157]

Sweet Jesus man tighten up your snares they are so loose it sounds like you have a bass snare.

[drupa99]

This guy rocks, period.

[Bowler211]

Nice show, not perfect, but Tom Sawyer isn't easy to perform flawlessly.

[HOSS1398]

Very nice job playing Tom Sawyer. The only advice I could give is to tune your drums better.... use 1/4 inch weathertripping on the outer edge of tom heads to take out the overtones. The snare is nice & tight, but adjust the snare unit on the bottom head, & tighten the bottom head more. Nice playing!!!

[LAUGHorCRY2009]

Pretty damn good. Nice job.

[gary1chester]

good stuff. Not many people do their own interpretation of Peart stuff, most tend to copy it exactly. You've got a strong focus in your mind on your hands, put some of that in your right foot.

[Joshalba34]

EPIC!! 

[SheolX777]

Really talented, just PLEASE tune your snare it sounds worse than banging pots together in the kithen! Loved it, spot on besides that. ;)

[fifteenaces66]

Not Neil, but not bad either

[DrumHeller47]

Dude forget these losers you did good man! Better than i can play this song

[pinhosurf]

no man!! omg wtf?

[spikeman23]

Fail

[lukmaluko]

vix que merda

[Joey539714]

Bad ass...

[tythefrog]

That snare makes me have to shit, but other than that, this aint too bad.

[bloodlet999]

Why does every ass clown think they are Neil Peart?

[c041956]

@bloodlet999 Duds good man! your the Ass!

[Apockiller]

@bloodlet999 Whats wrong with wanting to play or try to play like Niel Pert? who the fuck are you??? Don't see your shit up here? STFU! ASS CLOWN!

[dbroncs6]

isn't he the standard. i don't think he "thinks he's Neal Peart" but if I were a drummer, I would totally try to imitate the greatness of Peart. i'm not a musician or a drummer but i like the video. i thought it was cool.

[AtheismWorldWide]

@bloodlet999 Where'd you pick that up from? He is simply covering a great song and doing a hell of a job too! And don't we all have an idol(s)?

[wcammidge]

I think that was awesome!

[muzikmann2728]

You're cymbal crazy. Relax. You're too busy adding all the extra stuff that you are missing the feel and not always coming in on right places. You have what it takes to be a really good drummer but this is far too busy.

[hardrockme24]

Very Very Nice man. Killer Chops

[mdlaw13]

his toms sound great!  but this guy has a hearing problem if he thinks his cymbals sound good.

[cob1196]

this sounds like crap

[trickthemartyr]

@cob1196 I agree. His hats have no dynamics and sounds like he is programming it in frooty loops.

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

You have a heavy foot, almost too heavy for Neil. He was heavy on the bass drum but he changed volumes on it so well. He flutters his ankle with great range, but he's always postured over to destroy the bass drum when he needs to. You gotta have unbelievably confident right leg control, and everything else will go off of that. Once you gain that ultimate confidence in your right leg, your arm stiffness will subside while playing Rush songs.

[kalebkbob768]

his snare sounds like shit

[timemachinedrummer]

I play better JA! :P

[Justs99171]

He totally screwed up those flams and no body else noticed.

[ChristopherSaindon]

Well he is good that's for sure. Well..quite good. Probably not Peart but he put the video up.. not like a tough talker with no fight. MikeTyson sounded like a complete whimp on the phone.. I would have challenged him. And would have been massacred :-)

[nbryc]

You've got the song memorized, but you aren't exactly making it grove.

[ArmandDrums]

@nbryc groove*

[nbryc]

@ArmandDrums Sorry.  Yes Groove.

[ThePebbleOne]

i am left handed to for drums

[timemachinedrummer]

@ThePebbleOne so? jaja

[archerhill64]

Playing is ok, but kick drum playing is way off. Sorry

[03eturner]

Great Playing! My only suggestion is to open your hi-hats on that section near 1:45. Excellent solo part. you were right on in timing too. Great playing all around

[rjcrumpler]

holy shit. awesome bro

[mach1speedracer]

hey i dude i thought you were gonna suck... (jusr because everybody else sucks) but you nailed it/,,,,you play in a band? if so where

[canadahockeyteen]

r u a left?y

[motorhead1964]

no he's switching back and forth just like peart does during this song..great job..

[cushseth]

unreal. lol.

[tjp623]

Great job "excellente" Moby Dick for an encore! just kiddin. sounds awsome! thanks for posting.

[coolman8434]

this is freagin sick

[bedrocker7]

Every time someone posts a video of themselves playing something like this, there's always a handful of retards talking smack about how much better they are- with ZERO evidence of course. Because that's what truly talented people do- disparage others. I'm sure Mr. Peart does that also.

[rosco3163]

Freaking awesome .

[Cygnusx27]

freechineesefood- shut the fuck up

[JoeyWads]

sick chops

[overexert]

ta legal, mas precisa treinar mais um pouquinho!!!

[freechineesefood561]

r u guys serious? im 13 and i can play it better. gshyt

[y05cahillj]

yeah but u have no friends

[Bagurk93]

@freechineesefood561

Ya, i'm sure your a musical genius.

[guitarlord247]

every time this song is played a baby seal dies,that is just how fucking hardcore neil pearts songs are...nuff said

[markt360]

Are you all joking? He shredded the song. OMG

[rockrocks2105]

wow this is the first time i'm jealous of a drum kit. :o

i love how you used all the cymbals at different points! haha it was koool. :)

[neocna3]

Unreal great - Great does not even come close. Loved it!

[Jasonspezzafan1]

amazing hes crazy

[RobbyM1]

really enjoyed this ..... nice drummin' all the way .... big thanks as this is a big up to all Rush fans to ....

[tntham]

Loved it man. Jammed with it. Screw all the critics. I enjoyed it!

[SMC121495]

BEAST!!!!!!

[virtualbush]

Great job, but a little stiff, hang back and ride! I know its hard when you don't have the full instrument. Grab job making up for that. Tuning on most the heads was close too! Good work. I use to perform this (And 21 other RUSH songs) live. I play bass. Was fun.

Check out Machinegunsmith's version. He nails it well also.

Enjoy!

[femsadist]

that just made me wet....

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

Nicely done!!

PEACE!!

[THEJAMIEO]

Wish i cud play like that

[dubbsmalone]

That's fucking amazing! Nicely done.

[DrumsMetal96]

its doesnt look he was having fun playing

[Kurt67Trudel]

@DrumsMetal96

[SlipKnot666435]

@DrumsMetal96 I agree. but he is great

[MrMedicalWaste]

i like 3:43

[minks1968]

good cover, keep it up

[Visurit]

dude, refuckinglax.

[Drummerwithagroove]

good job but relax

[pronginator]

Great Job !  Imagine Writing those parts! Insane

[OliverDaves]

Really good man, keep on rockin' :D

[mercado8]

AGGGHHH SICKKKKK!!!!!!!

[mndline]

Very nice mate!! I enjoyed listening.. Your face showed you were struggling in that beginning 16th note phrasing.. Just chill.. You muscles are there.. just need to relax to use your full potential..

Using your left hand on the hats isn't a bad thing.. If it is please explain to me how people play with their kit 180 degrees to the "norm"....

[Intiminator99]

Wow, that was awesome! Love the haters though! Means they are jealous! You badass!

[Korhonen13]

not bad...

snare sounds a little off though

[Baloman]

yeah snare doesnt sound like the snare is engaged completely

[Jrayner92]

Has any other drummer ever noticed that everyone plays extremely tense while drumming to this? Or is it just me?

[fliperotchy]

yeah. everyone like pussies out of playing the 8ths with a decent wrist so they just "arm" it.

[Jrayner92]

Yeah, I don't get it either. Getting your wrist to that speed, although it's not that fast, and being consistent can get hard sometimes. much easier if you work on it.

[fetohh]

this guys only want to fuck this guy

he make a good jod and you are saying "he suck" he made a good jod and he have a nice batery

[DevBProductions]

Hey haters...

unless you can do better.... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!

and when you can do better... STILL KEEP THAT MOUTH FUCKING SHUT...

this guy has something called talent... probably very foreign to you

[fliperotchy]

and probably even you.

[DevBProductions]

hillllarious....

any more?

[fliperotchy]

no thanks. i'm done with you.

[skateking1031]

nice but if you were using your left hand on the hat not a good idea

[4ff3]

@skateking1031 I would say it´s a great idea.

[trxrobson]

good job!

[GuitarJaeger50]

Totally agree with threnodyfilm. Some of you shits are like movie critics; you have a comment about everything, but never posted a video of yourself.

[JuberLOL]

what's wrong with movie critics? and i'm talking critics here, not reviewers. critics, more often than not, have a degree is film study, and they watch a fuck ton of movies. a reviewer's just a guy who gets paid to say if something is good or not good.

[DevanLund]

I think that this guy is pretty good, but regarding the people who say "until you can do better than him, keep your mouth shut", all I have to say is that you don't have to be a trained chef to know when someone overcooked your steak.

[ngsk8te4ever]

ur right hand looks really straighned when doin 16th notes, just givin constructive criticis tho, rest was good

[killboy2119]

i just wonder what neal would say if he saw this or any one of the other really good covers

[threnodyfilm]

Lay off this guy... just because he posted doesn't mean he thinks he's "the shit"... sure the recording is bad also... but how many of you guys could do this, and then have the balls to post it...? At least it's not some dumb teenager drooling in front of a webcam...

[CanadaKill]

drums dont sound right the snare was too tight the bass pedal sounds fuck

[saqib09]

whats wrong with ur snare hand? loosen up a bit

[NaterBoxs]

and wat is that china doing in 47-56

[NaterBoxs]

watch a real drummer called tedddyz

[budwayz]

how about lets go watch a kid try to play drums-teddyz.....hes not that good

[freelancedruma]

Okay then you go do that then, while the rest of us watch some REAL entertainment.

[DownsynDrum]

youre too tense lol loosen up a bit

[lilronaldinho9]

tht sucked

wayy too much extra cymbals

[NIKONVIN]

good, but neils a genius

[pyrosports]

awesome cover! i like that you throw some of your ORIGINALITY in to it, but also manage to keep the overall feel of the song. bad ass dude. one of my favorite songs, and no one of my favorite covers! great job. post more

[tiofish3]

too much snare :S

[animeking81]

Not that it's bad. Thats how pert does it but i'm just saying thats how i wuold do it.

[animeking81]

The snare is too tight. You should loosen it a little so it has a little more clack to it.

[ovechkin8ter]

i think this drummer is pretty good

[mawerwcer]

No offence but this sounds almost nothing like the drums to tom sawyer. I mean it is really good and everything but it just doesn't sound anything like it. :X

[flashes94]

dude ur good but stop trying to show off. nobody cares u can drum left or right ways.

[TehBannHammer]

umm thats what youtube is for showing off your skills dude, besides playing left handed for me is hard so dats a talent

[bandgeekdrummer13]

dude, lay off...he'showing off. thats what this website is for smart-one.

[Hartman442]

nike shocks FTW lol

[chopper90210]

thats a talent to play right and left handed :|

[stilltipin30591]

very niceeee

[BLOWMEO]

put yer name on it so i dont waste my time watchin your ghetto video

[24nascarchamp]

wow hes pretty beast at drums but not even close to being as good as neil

[cheetomagnet]

he is dicent but neil would whoop his nigga ass down to the curb in a drum comp

[StanMarsh16]

ive listen to this song more than a hundred time and it doesnt sound at all like what hes playing. Hes using to much bass pedal and playing to fast.

[barrettstevo]

good job man that was awsome,what kind of china cymbal is that on your right?

[hueyj94]

kick pedal was a bit too strong good though

[cip421]

wow very good at least you tryed

[jsmadray]

excellent!!!

[ThyStormTrooper]

5/5

[guitarguy93]

I love the smoothness of that first tom fill.

[BlakcatProductions]

ya thats good, but theres a 9 year old kid who can do the same thing. "Teddyz2112". You Got to watch this kid

[Dvander14]

ya that kid's amazing

[Kingdedede2008]

1:20 - too many bass hits

[seansharpie]

nice playing man. dont like ur ride sound tho, way too washy. otherwise, incredible!

[lhatebobsaget1989]

the one by pauliewanna on youtube is the most accurate one ive seen

[billleebob14]

dude kickass cover.

[JasonDTube]

I know I'm probably gonna get an answer like "Moeller" or "Push Pull", but how do you play those 16th notes without your wrist getting tired?

[alansmcconachie]

they're not 16th, i think they're 12th or 14th i can't remember. just practice and practice. what i do is instead of using the shoulder of the stick, use the tip, you'll get a lot more rebound and also a cleaner sound

[codysmith80]

dude......that's almost exactly like his playing. GOOD JOB! seriously, all u need is to tune ur snare down a bit, or get a new one, other than that, awesome

[nurddrummer76]

i like the sound of the guy's kit... I wish i had one like it..... =(

[Shadyjizzle]

Um, nice try.....

[1brannon10]

nice playin the song but its nothing like how peart plays it

[pepsilover1]

his snare sounds wierd

[Helsling]

did you Tighten your snare? Or is it like that.

[SirPurr57]

Excellant execution,speed and technique.Nice pop on the snare it is really inline with the rotarys.

[ShenaniganCannon]

Just tune the snare down some.

[apujols2194]

best cover on u tube

[linkinslip95]

I agree with fermar92 u need a new snare

[fermar92]

your snare sounds like shit =S

[xthepatient]

I love how you just randomly switch to open hand like it's nothing. haha

[Doriguin]

Remo heads work better when playing music from older Rush albums. Nice playing, I learned this song before I conquered the whole Signals album.

[brian2878]

If you learn how to coordinate your limbs and develop better feel it would help your playing quite a bit.

[davidbrodlie]

shit

[Helsling]

That.. Was... GODLY. Nice job man :P

[sk8er8876]

thats awesome

[MFekz]

Its not accurate but its still amazing. i liked a little more than the original. not really though

[thepossessor]

well make up your mind did you like it more than the original or didn't you lol

[LAblinkkings]

cleanest cover ive heard for this song yet. mad props yo. and marlo916, he prolly changes hands 4 the hihat 4 the same reason as me cuz my right hand gets tired so i use my left for a sec. also after he switches his hands there is multiple symble hits so he uses his right hand to extend his reach.

[krudmuphinstudioz]

Wow! You're an excellent drummer! I also noticed how you twirled the drum stick at 3:43! Well done!

[mrclean67]

....ding fries are done, ding fries are done, would you like an apple pie with that?

[ljbarnard]

That was amazing, you are a very gifted drummer. People can argue if it was precise or not, but you put your own signature on that song. A real work of art, and thank you for sharing that with us. I loved the stick twirl you threw in there, just as natural as could be. I am surprised no one else mentioned it. Again well done, and thank you.

[leafsfan00007]

maybe you should marry this guy then

[mikethebassguy]

excellent cover!

you did all the fills well even though u only got the 3 toms, improvising thats all druming is about so dont listen to what anyone says about havin it off on a crash or that bs, all the covers i do on bass i add my twist onto solos or fills so i give u a 10/10 in my opinion.

keep drumin!

[marlo916]

ooooh ambidextrous are we? hahaha nicceee! im tying to learning this song.
