10 yrs-old drummer girl plays & sings RUSH's "Freewill"

[Downstryke]

Here's my favorite Rush cover. Come to think of it, this is the ONLY Rush cover I like. Until I saw this one, I though all Rush covers were insults to Rush!

[snaqpaq88]

AWESOME JOB GIRLIE!!!!!

[holdencaustic]

Very unique girl, she is so very talented,

and so enthusiastic!!! Best of wishes,

keep up the good work and do what you love- you will go far!

[pete19845150]

AWSOME!!!!Music is alive and well!!Dont believe me???....Just check her out!!!

[rufio2001]

She's awesome!

[godbluffvdgg]

geddy lee needs to get in touch with this little girl. It would go over well with the crowd to see such a young virtuoso playing rush

[samondrums17]

KEEP ROCKIN GIRL !

[CheckedAvailability]

The high part around 4:30 is sooo cool :D

I really like her - and her taste!

[Zeiky8]

I'v seen many videos about this chick. Shes really good.

[biped19]

LOL. The girl is so adorable, yet so f#*King awesome.

[rush7112112]

IT IS AMAZING how RUSH has made it into EVERY CULTURE and even the YOUNGEST of MINDS!

HELL YES!

[blazing64]

lol this is great! I'd pay money to this!!

[pauker1]

this is hard to believe, but I see it with my own eyes.. impressed... LOL

[fassman316]

Woah- and this girl is 10? She owns!

[1liger]

YOU GO GIRL!!!! In my humble opinion you did Niel , Proud!!

[floridajeet]

it'/s Getty Lee dear....

[usafaux102]

I think fassman was refering to Neil Peart the drummer of Rush. Besides it's "Geddy" Lee if I'm not mistaken.

( Correct me if I'm wrong)

[bytor137]

you are quite correct in the spelling of geddy; it's the way his hungarian grandmum pronounced 'gary'.

[TheChugulator]

Whats cool besides her being a great drummer is the fact that she listens to and sings rush. I mean what 10-14 year old girls listen to Rush? the jonas brothers (sob) are top priority for girls that age. My 12 year old sister loves 2112 so im very happy

[domdom111111]

She way more talented than the 2 guys that are playing with her! 7 thumbs up Sara!

[izukarn]

you have a future ahead of you

[screwedbysears]

The guitarist sucks While she smiling the whole time she is playing Neil watch out!!!

[adrian5b]

She's not the best singer, but hell she can hit the drums

[xanderer]

Outstanding. All she needs is a better backing band.

[deldine70]

Too cute! I can't even play RUSH on my drums alone, let alone singing it! LOL

[susanbobmauro]

u r the best drummer ive ever seen(besides neil.) ive been playing the drums for 2 yrs. i luv rush. you should sing tom sawyer and 2112overature/temples of sirinx while drumming.

[cineaction]

She's better than the dudes she's playing with! Love it!

[Kdrumsx]

holy cow, thats skill, drum and sing.

[cfx5000]

Wow. A one in a million talent. A one in a billion talent.

[thunderb1rdusmc]

OK.. she's 12!! Singing... isn't strong, but her playing out does 90% of every band I've ever seen.. this kid has a future ahead of her... look out world!!!

Sara...don't stop!!! You come to America, I want to see you play! You totally rock!

[domdom111111]

Amazing!

[Eddini]

Rock it out girl, Ed.

[BiznatchDrummer]

ya sara, you're gonna go far, kid

[slapmyass2tyms]

phenominal

would also like to point out the size of her lil arms!

[WalkTenPaces]

WOAH!!!! I'm so happy it's a girl too since there isn't enough of them

[chirstmas679]

well done

[Progman3K]

The bass-player and guitarist can barely keep up with her!

Truly a prodigy.

I hope you go far, Sara!

[puwit321]

Amazing! Even more impressed with her sounding a bit like Geddy.

[SandpiperN121PP]

That was absoulutely AWESOME! I can play the guitar part but sing it... no. The drums are way harder than the guitar part and you sang and did them extremely well! Rush would be most pleased with you and your bands performance! :)

[alembicbassdude]

This girl is not only absolutely adorable but has real talent, and is a true joy to watch and listen to. I hope she continues to drum and make videos, talent like hers should not be wasted! Best of luck Sara!

[ThurstonGHowell3rd]

Do you realize how difficult it is to not only play Rush well on drums but sing as well? What a talent. Truly gifted.

[czabodeborba]

I`m a drummer who barley learned to PLAY it!

[aking1765]

BRAVO WOW!

[irocknj]

That is sooo cool

[TomMSTie]

Is the drummer wearing a Punisher shirt? Too cool!

[modsleix6]

Damn, I wish I had a friend like this back when I was barely learning how to play bass... Nod in your direction.

[livesoundandlight]

I own a Sound, Lighting and Production company in the UK.

You are absolutley incredible. That song is one of my all time favourites.

My daughter is 21 and needs lessons from you, as she is also a drummer.

We are a production company, and have worked with the best.

You are better. Absolutley awesome.

Would love to work with you in the future.

Get in touch if interested.

[sbrushfan]

Geddy, Alex and Neil would probably be delighted to meet her and the rest of the band. Awesome cover, and I wish you, Sara, a ton of success in the future.

[littlegreenjason]

man, this made my day!

[LEO1WOLF]

Man, I wished I hadn't screwed-off all of my 39 yrs. This lil' girl ROCKS. EVERYBODY out of 'er way, she's gonna' bring the house down. Cute as all get-out too with that hat (those LOW notes can be a beotch, too)!

About the loud Bass & Guitar, it ALL depends on your system. Yes they're both up by quite a bit & I can see how either one of you see one or the other is louder. But get an E.Q. & you can make sound much more pleasant. :)

-Lone Wolf

[Dannymusic1999]

Your an insperation to my 9 year old daughter and me her Dad.

[erikinhawaii]

A+++

[dobbylad18]

nice to see/hear someone so young into rock music, i've been playing 'fly by night' and 'exit stage left' to death over the last few days long may she rock !!

[onefunnydog]

Kuddos young one

[darkl3ade22]

i need to go wash my pants.....Then..im going to watch it again!

[EnjoyFirefighting]

in the title stands that she is 10 years, in the description 11 years!

Amazing kid

[dewerk]

Read the full description. The video was taken right after her 10th birthday. The posting was made when she was 11 with the video being about 2 years previously. Looks like she is now 12 or 13.

[drummerpablo1]

That's hard to do when NOT singing. Great job!

LOUDEST BASS EVER. I CANT EVEN HEAR THE DRUMS OVER THE BASS!

[amhbJake]

that's actually the guitar, but regardless, loud

[Stringer1859]

This is the most awesome little girl in the world.

[cefalu85]

spettacolare!

[xhamlin]

Amazing really. She knows the tunes and plays them her own way. Amazing

[xhamlin]

She plays this better than Mike Portnoy. LMFAO

[drtymac]

I think I've stepped into an alternate reality where 10 year olds play better than me and like to listen to Rush.

[Jakomancer]

It's called Japan?

[jcsonguitar]

It's hard to play and sing on the drums, better yet, play one of Neil Peart's drum lines and sing like Geddy Lee at the same time! I have I have the utmost respect for respect for this girl! RUSH ON!!!

[hojofan]

5 stars! Awesome playing for someone her age! I can tell she has put in some long hours of practice. Gotta give credit where credit is due! When I was her age, I played guitar 3-6 hrs. a day so I can appreciate all of the hard work behind this. I have 2 kids that are 13 and 14 and one of them wants me to teach them, but my Les Paul sits on a stand collecting dust mostly. :D Don't stop playing and don't let anyone ever discourage you Sara! I'm a woman. That's why I'm saying this. Rock on Sara!

[ishboh]

its hard to play and sing anything...

and rush is hard to play on drums especially...very nice

although i wouldnt say her voice is anything to write home about

[guitarguy93]

She sounds like Geddy Lee =D

[futahh]

amagine that!

[ZirclesAndZyre]

a Karen Carpenter, Except way better. i try to sing while i drum but i cant even hear myself, and i usually screw up. i commend thee, Sara, good job.

[brianchristie]

Not too shabby. Gotta give that drummer girl big kudos...especially for singing and playng at the same time. Drum set sounds awesome! Good guitarist (kinda had that "Lifeson" sound).

[Doomguy123]

WOOOOOOOOOO nice job! GO RUSH!!!!!!!!!!

[mannysalazar9000]

sweet!

[sonortubelug]

YES!!!!!

[bitzky77]

Keep it up girl. Way to sing those high notes too!

Bass player almost wrecked it after 3:14. She's already a level above the other two.

[kipdon]

you ALL should grow up! Why make such disparging comments like I see above...?

ANYONE who would attempt to play drums like Neil should get a Hi-five no matter what.

And if it was your own kid you'd be damn proud of them too.

[masterjackfields]

Very Impressive...

[elmojoethedrummer1]

WTF the guitar doesnt have the top of the neck....wth is that?

[1dew]

its an axe it has not head its really odd lol but its has somewhat good sound hard to play tho

[dkim68]

Kubick Factor bass, I think.

[dragondrummer15]

elmojoethedrummer1, its called a synapse. the tune thingys are at the bottom. geddy lee uses a bass version of it

[andreach12]

Wow I think Neil would be impressed if he saw this!! Great job!!

[kovxxx71]

umm so wat hes still the greatst drummer ever.

Anyways this gilr is rly good, keep it up!

[saleens]

Even Peart can't drum and sing!

[terrytoast73]

com on you skeptics the what the fuck you expect from a 10 year old for christ's sake.yeah niels the best but have we forgotten niel is a 40 year vet grow up asshole you know who you are

[scottiev77]

wow....that is all...

[LeftCoastGator]

Wow, this girl is pretty amazing; she'll probably be even better when she has a drum kit that fits her. But holy crap, does that guitarist SUCK. Sounds like a slow, late, slightly out-of-tune industrial drill. I credit the girl for being able to play through that wretched noise.

[undertaker1545]

the notes are off and neil is better

[thetech13]

"neil is better"

Oh, give the kid a break... she was only *10* when she did this! LOL

[COBHC3000]

haha your gay dude... shes 10.. shes not neil.... hes got what? like 35 years or more on her? haha..yo just go bashing little kids music vids caus your pissed you cant play as well as them?.. sad dude..

[ikarooz]

u r funny...Of course Neil is better. He has 30 years on her and probably has drums older than her. Pound for pound she is great.

[metroid13931]

rofl before you play like neil you ned his set its nesseciarry to have it to play like him...

[kittikat78]

A nation of automatons...I lived in Japan for 6 years...it's kind of creepy. Wonderful people, don't get me wrong.

[num148]

wow they suck they are late and playing wrong notes

[theREALjsikk]

that really makes me smile. very cool.

[fatpatti3]

holy crap ur awsome

[maxxx10]

what it is is that in japan they take kids into the "idol camps" ever since they are little and train them on certain things, that's how they get so good at such a young age.

[legomyfego]

I've noticed that. I thought I was the only one, but I guess not.

[DragonTamer2345]

Japanese and singing in English... while playing drums... WOW!!! I don't think most adults can do that...

[lkjn88]

r u ten ?

[KYOOBED]

not taking away from the ability or how good she is but it is not hard to drum and sing at least not for me i am a backup singer in my band but i have done lead for some songs and i have no trouble at all

[DragonTamer2345]

I know for alot of people it is hard to sing and play drums at the same time. One of my friends plays drums and the world has to be ending for him to play and sing.

[xen0genesis]

erm, thanks but we don't need to know that you can? (:

[dawgfansrule]

god this is my dream concert it was my dads first keep rockin chic one more thing dont lisin to rap . its crap

[sddallas]

Ayn Rand would be proud

[tiptoegecko]

Awesome! Thank god you discovered Rush before other dumb shit. Keep rocking.

[lauscho]

You make Rush sound absolutely ADORABLE XD

[hindemith17]

I'm just glad she's LISTENING to Rush, but playing and singing... nice! I can only hope to have kids one day that aspire to that at such a young age...

[ironvoodoo757]

did she get 100%? lol

[DudeKid99]

cute, keep rockin

[cinderellamannn]

unreal. too good . not only is she trying to mimmic the hardest drummer in rock but she sings it too....at age 11. keep RUSHING !!!!

[BigG01234]

I'm 11!

[BigG01234]

you're sooooooo HOT!!!!!!!!!

[grahamid403]

She's fucking 10...

[rushfreewill]

IT would help if she could reach the drums and cymbals

[sbringe]

Wow Super Kid Drummer, you really are or were good, you must be even better by now!

It is very difficult to play the drums and sing, I am very impressed!

Go kid!

[grimdefeat92]

i do not like his guitar....just me though

[superkiddrummer]

thanks, Sara

[702decatur]

She's the only one that can speak english in that band lol.. j/k nice job girl. She loses control on her fills but her technique is there she'll be O.K. and that baseball hat didn't help her.

[superkiddrummer]

This was when I was 10. 4 years ago.

I hope you see me now in some progress than me in this video.

Thanks, Sara

[717mienbao]

Yes, there is hope for the future.

That is amazing! And for a 10 year old! And a girl...how many girls do you know like Rush compared with guys???

[superkiddrummer]

Thanks, Sara

[scorpioize]

Seeing a 10-yr-old girl covering RUSH makes me so happy and hopeful for the future of music. Way to go Sara! You're an impressive young drummer. Stick with it, and we'll see you on "the big stage" one day. Woohoo! :)

[superkiddrummer]

Thanks, I hope I'll be on such a big stage someday!

Sara

[Fallenhero36]

Ah man you have to be a really low person to write crap about a 10 yr old playing rush - She did a awesome job & this comes from a Rush fan of 30+ yrs. Keep up the hard work

[ulrishtube]

la llevan

xD

!!

[Dr4Mm3R4EveR]

Dude!!! You are really stup1d!!! She's 10, shes playing rush and singing at same time! So fuck the shup up man! YOU are a stupid peace of dog shit! Go f4ck yourself with a big tree dude!

[173067]

I agree with you buddy

[Symmetry44]

I think she's damn adorable! The fact that she's Japanese playing Rush makes her that much cuter!

At least she's out there doing it man!

Someday her resolve will pay off you watch!

[jagcardinals22]

wow that totally sucked. shes probly just on stage cause her dad can play guitar. the drumming was way off and then she has to add the singing to sum it up as a big piece of dog shit. wow please let somebody good take your spot sara

[drumdude46]

right on "Bluegin56" unbelievable that "anyone" would have something Negative to say, about this adorable, Ultra-Talented little 11 year old Drum-Prodigy. have you seen some of her other stuff on here. there's another one in here somewhere of her, ........... stunning talent.

just stunning. you go Girl!!! lol

[173067]

That sucked.

[Bluegin56]

you guys crack me up! For christ sake your trying to compare a 10 year old Japanese girl who's "second language" is English, with a man who is damn near 40 years her senior, and has been playing drums longer than her parents have been alive. When KIDS do these things at this young age, its about drive, dedication. you don't have to like it, BUT, YOU BETTER DAMN WELL RESPECT THEM BECAUSE WHEN THEY GET YOUR AGE, YOU WILL BE EATING A LOT OF CROW! I think she kick ASS

[senorbellaco]

can u do better?

[173067]

I didn't like it at all.

[ZnicTehBishoppe]

11yrso? Likes Rush? FTW!

[DrumeM1]

asian bands are SO boring to watch, good job though

[professornutbutter10]

not bad, not bad at all.

i mean, in no way as good as neil peart, but then again, is anybody?

Sara- you have a CRAPLOAD of potential, and I think you could definitely grow up to be just as amazing as Neil.

But I agree with the comment below: Leave the singing to Geddy.

Bonus points for liking Rush!

[angus4463]

sra-

keep it up-doing well for your age. one suggestion though- focus on learning to play with a bit more feel and not attack every note. Also, please leave the sining to Geddy lee

[kissfan864]

are you a big rush fan?

[canedrumer]

i agreaa with the comment below me, neil peart is a very technical drummer, and you pull off soemthig i have never seen on youtube, you sing and play drums of rush, that is very impressive, this is a great video keep up the good work. CANE

[rob46250]

very, very good. Playing Neil Peart is hard enough, let alone singing while doing it. Keep up the good playing. You should be proud of your skills.

[Bigapplehead16]

yo girl please reply to me bc i want to learn how to play the drums and u give me any tips!

[jujujus2]

i like the singing and the drumming.. you played the song very well.. keep playing

[acso1299]

You aren't a Neil Peart yet but you aren't as old as he is either. You can be as good if not better, keep it up.

If you like Rush you are wise beyond your years.

I think your cool, respects.

[KingTabor]

guitar and bass players ruined the video. Your singing is weak too girl, but you are a talented drummer!

[allend8]

god that quitar player sucks your way better then him

[finzan]

I agree. The guitarists don't fit. Either the basists :))

10 year drummer girl beats those comicians, HA HA

[12COLLINS12]

hahahaha man that guitarist really did blow :P good drumming though and singing

[royescobar1977]

She is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...

[padistedor]

Entertainment broadcast live from hell.

[dakotasdaddy727]

Someone needs to shoot that guitar player. He sucks.

[dylanfan1969]

Sounds pretty damn good! I was listening to this when it was "new" music and this girl wasn't even born so to think that Rush still inspire people who weren't even born when they were in thier heyday is amazing. Great Job!

[gostviper1]

take off that fucking cap

[Cure3]

This song has some rhythm. The drummer is really good.

[pearlkit1966]

all the - stuff being said is B.S. you are very good!!! and will only get better as time goes....KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!!!!!

[MakBot]

The only negative things about this video are the horrible lead guitar and bass players taking a shit on such a great song. Their calamitous noise nearly drowned out the pure awesome emanating from the drum kit.

[wes0014]

wtf up with the littel guitar that guy has lol

[janissamiano]

hey this is great! you're nearly as good as our drummer... but he's in his early 20's, and you're only 11! :) keep up the good work! i've been playing keyboards since I was about your age... but I didn't have much opportunity to showcase my talent that time... my folks are really strict about my academics... *bummer*

[GaryNull]

Sara, go beat up Brittany Spears with your drums sticks and do us all a favor.

[mindprism]

--- Sara, go beat up Brittany Spears with your drums sticks and do us all a favor.

OMG hahaha- thanks I needed that!

[geoffrey842]

it's sad to think that she was bred specifically for this purpose.

[skaterballer69]

Exactly, I doubt she knows her ABC's

Obviously Im jealous of her skillz, but I can get over it if shes dumb as a rock and has no life outside drums!lol

[superkiddrummer]

Then I can tell you that you don't have to be sad.

Sara

[thetenia]

Very impressive for your age, do you understand what that song is about? If so, an even more impressive song choice.

[bakinek]

Sara? do you have a other life than only behind the drums? I think that not...

[superkiddrummer]

Actually I have a lot.

[mfabunan]

whoevr think that this wonderful girl suckks.... then you must be really stupid! i bet you guys cant even play the drums aas well as her especially since she was only 10!? so to all those ignoratn people that thinks they can judge people ID WANT TO SEE YOU POST A DAMN VIDEO DRUMMING AS WELL AS HER IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE!!!! she has a bright furture ahead of her keeep on going!

[rebeat2u]

pretty amazin stuff, not easy to sing and play off beat fills and stay in time vocally

[nwyard]

...and yes, the other two guys are very good, too! Let's not forget them

[nwyard]

supermanakasean's comment is such a disrespect to young talent ... this girl has talent, and is only going to get better

[supermanakasean]

sorry about the comment. this is just a horrible cover. no one can sing like geddy.

[supermanakasean]

crap. its not very hard to sing and playdrums. this vid is such disrespect to rush

[fizzlebug]

I agree.

[bubbawad]

you're an idiot..how old are you?

[geoffrey842]

me too.

[willida11]

I'm impressed. With years of practice she will go a long way. Good power too!

[NPwannabe]

Man... this girl has one bright future

[blackbilly1965]

Downstryke, they (Rush) still play, seen them this summer, and they still ROCK man!!!!

so does this young lady, very, very talented!! two thumbs up, and the guys are good too!!:)

[drummergirl883]

Awesomesome...

wtf

girl's should definatley play drums. She's good.
