I was totally impressed.....Rush fan from the start....good job to both of you. I bet you have no problem getting anniversary gifts for one another...LOL.....Keep up the impressive work who knows where it will lead you both??
I have seen most of the other You-tube rush drum covers and I cannot find one that compares to yours pierre! I cannot tell your playing from Neils at all they are virtually identical! I could definitly see you sitting in for neil at a rush concert easily!!
And to think I often wonder what other couples do one those cold evenings.... it seems some jam Rush! Never thought that would be something I saw... well done.
@HeisW140 Thank you! We in fact rarely play Rush music together (Pat is more into jazz these days) but we should. We are thinking about another song to do over here..
@Astrotama Definitely. It's pretty rare to have a couple jamming. My wifes a Karate black belt and I'm a drummer - so the best we could manage is me rocking out while she knocks out my teeth :-) I've never really listened to Rush - seems to have been very big in the States and Canada but not so in New Zealand. Everyone raves about Mr. Peart, which is why Im hunting around trying to find a track to attempt myself. Thanks for the reply.
I have been a fan of Rush for many years. I have only went to one of their concerts which was the Power Windows tour in Greensboro, NC back in the 80's. As good as you are, just think how it would feel to attend a rush concert, and be asked by their management to have you sit in for a song or two. Miracles do happen you know....lol. Just wondering, there is a video of 4-5 musicians playing rush music from different countries. Are you the drummer that is playing on it?
@charlesndanville No, I've never done any YT collaboration. I had a Rush tribute band going on for a while so I was busy with that. Who knows, maybe some day...
@Modelwarshipsdotcom Pat can actually play many instruments (including drums, she owned a Tama set when I met her... ;) ) but no, right now, no guitar in the family.... ;)
THat's awesome!! She did GREAT. how wonderful to have a wife that would not only put up with the racket.,..but would join in !! my ex wife hated rush...which is why she is the 'ex' wife and I now get to enjoy without unnecessary interruptions..>!! lol!
--
OH...by the wAY YOU must GET HER A GEDDY LEE JAZZ BASS...IT'S AWESOME AND SOUNDS JUST LIKE GEDDY'S AND IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY
THat's awesome!! She did GREAT. how wonderful to have a wife that would not only put up with the racket.,..but would join in !! my ex wife hated rush...which is why she is the 'ex' wife and I now get to enjoy without unnecessary interruptions..>!! lol!
hey dude i would like to know how your kit is set up as far as drum size? like tom size and how many cycmbls. and what size's i have 6 a custom's and want more but not sure what to get ..i have a 7 peac kit (peral) and want to do more with it any tip's and how to bye?
@Shawng2171 There is a description of my kit under my channel with some external links as well where you can find a complete description of the kit....
First of all, I'm a great fan of yours. My first reaction before actually seeing this video was.."great, here come the relatives...". I couldn't have been more wrong, your wife is great and completely complements you. Hope to see more...
Oh man, it is pure delight looking at you play their pieces!
The thing is, on all video takes of bands or artists the view is always switching between cameras and it is impossible to concentrate on anyone's part. Your takes are awesome for that (beside the astounding quality of your playing).
If i was neil i would be so pissed ... i mean here's an astrophysicist that probably plays the drums as good as he does but if you asked neil what astrophysicist do he'd say i dunno look through telescopes LOL... i mean dude where did you find the time? i tried playing back when i was a bit younger and could do ok but never i mean NEVER came close to this level ... and i practiced all the time.. god given talent. only explanation.. keep it up man
Very Nice! Its hard finding another Rush musician let alone one that is inside your family! Great job! Now if I can get brave enough I would just post a vid of me playing Circumstances or Broons Bane on Acoustic. Maybe!
I'm late to reply cause your vid didn't show up? I just happened to open your channel to use InfinateLooper to play along with you. So you finally convinced your better half to join in, eh? That's great. I have been enjoying playing along with my bass playing son for some time now. Awesome. One thing though, can you turn her volume up just a tad. Hope that you guys work out the volume problem and are able to post up more collaborations. Heros ear plugs work well in conjunction with headphones.
You two are simply put - PURE GREATNESS! Very AWESOME replica of a very difficult RUSH song! Astrotama...You Sir, are one of the VERY BEST Neil Peart copies there ever has been!
Great story about how you guys met!! The couple that plays together, stays together, right??!! You guys did an outstanding job, as usual, I wouldn't expect anything less from you Astro, I am a huge fan of yours!! I knew that I had met my soul mate, when his RUSH collection was bigger than mine, also about 18 years ago. Always amazed, and smiling, when I watch your videos, you and Pat keep rockin'!! Thanks!!
Great! Love you playing together..would love to have my mate to do this with me,, too..but up to now this doesn`t seem to happen I`m a woman bass player from Argentina...and a Rush fan since years..So I congratulate you, both!!
@chrisbDTM This is actually a pretty cool story... When I was finishing my PhD in Quebec, I was a member of the National Midnight Star Rush newsgroup. I was going to move to Tucson as a post-doc fellow, wondering if I should bring my drums or not. I sent an email through the NMS to see if there was any chance I could find people to play some Rush music with over there. I got 5 answers, one from Pat who was then a PhD student here. We met after I got to AZ, and here we are, 18 years later... ;)
another amazing video from one of my favorite rush songs!!!!!! Now not only i envy your skills as a drummer but also to have a wife that share the love for rush!!!! Excellent job guys!!!!!
You BOTH are awesome! I wish my wife would pick up any instrument so we could jam together. Great job you two. We know who to come to in the event RUSH may need some stand ins :)
@steverid Thanks! Pat is a much more accomplished musician than me. She plays guitars, ukulele, viola, bass, double-bass, drums and sings in choirs. I only bash some drums. ;) People might not know but she helped me a lot in figuring out many glockenspiel parts and stuff like that I have to play in those songs......
Great job! One of my RUSH favorites. I enjoy the technical complexity as well as the lyrics.
So... now that you have your wife involved (thanks to her for joining in) does this mean that you will be re-recording all your videos to include her? :)
outstanding! The only involvement my wife has when I am playing is "can you not play so loud". Kind of like being a kid again and mom yells down the stairs bitching cause its "too loud". LOL great stuff !!!
Great cover as always. It's awesome to see music, especially RUSH, bringing people together. My fiancee plays guitar, and I play bass, and we always have a good time playing together, until I start singing lol.
very, very, very good
Muito bom mesmo, Peart deve se sentir orgulhoso, por ter músicos de alta qualidade como ele.
