*Sigh* this video made me want to give up drumming because i realized how much better everyone else is at it than me. I will never be as good as you were in this video. Keep up the awesome work btw.

[drumsticks135]

@FalconFlurry Dude don't feel that way, this song was hardest song I've ever got down. And other people feel the way you do, including me. When I hear people like Peart solo, I'm just like wow why do I play? We all have things we could improve on, and that's one of the best parts about playing any instrument, there is always room for improvement! : ) and thank you so much for you kind comments, I would like to thank God for the ability he has given me. Wouldn't be anything without him!

[FalconFlurry]

@drumsticks135 Thx man! U made me feel better

Been drumming all my life! (42 years old). Neil Peart indisputably is the best rock drummer of his generation (John Bonham being the generation before). This by far is one of the best covers of Neil Peart's brilliance I have ever seen.

Excellent drum cover, very good drummer! This song is very hard and u did it perfectly!

I dont get how you can make your drums sound so good. well, you have mics but i hear that they'll sound good without mics aswell. i really suck at tuning so :(

[ibernalq]

hey man.... your playing sounds very good.. especially I like your snare, ride and crashes in this video...

[mrselfdestruct23]

Man, if you can cover Neil Peart your gonna go places! Awesome, now cover Tom Sawyer!

[jsbruce11]

Ryan Kesler on drums.

[Plentisaki]

Bloody brilliant!.........I hate you! lol ;-)

[speakwordsfoo]

@drumsticks135 No I understand, thanks for clearing that up!

[speakwordsfoo]

I've been playing drums for about a year and a half and am no slouch myself (not trying to be cocky) And when i watch drum covers i rarely enjoy them, but this is an exception, DAMN GOOD JOB!!! (By the way how do you do that thing at 4:06?)

[drumsticks135]

@speakwordsfoo Thanks man! I appreciate it. At 4:06, I'm playing 16th note triplets between my hands and bd foot. It's hard to fully explain because they are played in a pattern of 4; right left kick kick. I can play the two beats on my one foot with the heal-toe technique. Let me know if that's confusing lol

[ivocarvalhosalles]

This is really good!! I liked

[whatsaguytodo]

Very nicely done man and that was not a drumless track was it. Check out my Pieces of Eight vid.

[mapexman100]

wow ,reminds me when I was your age!.... keep up the good work!!! live it up!!

[natedoggrevolution]

Fucking awesome! Not only is the cover great, your playing style is nice and fluid! lol you make peart look incredibly stiff in comparison! So how did you go about covering this? Did you play it by ear, slave over a music sheet, or did you go to a lot of Rush concerts and learn from the master?

[drumsticks135]

@natedoggrevolution Hey man, thank you so much for your nice comments! However I won't accept how you said I make Neil look stiff ; ) I will never be even half as good as him. And I just played it by ear. I had to listen to the song for a while to put the right fills in the right places and stuff. Thanks again!

[rockston11]

So tight. Favourited.

[FoxandthePound]

Nice job man! What do you use to mix your mic audio and the video from your camera?

[drumsticks135]

I usually use adobe premiere pro. I've used windows movie maker and imovie on past videos also. Thanks for your kind comment!

[FoxandthePound]

@drumsticks135 Alright, thanks for your reply!

[ddrush1]

Good job man. You might appreciate some of my stuff. Look for Counterparts a tribute to Rush drum solo

[LJLiveLV]

How Long Have You Been Playing?

[drumsticks135]

Around 6 years

[darktirador]
