[SmoothCriminal10011]

[thestarhawkgirl]

I haven't played since the 60s I am trying to play again your video will be a great help great job on a great song...Thanx man

[x100al]

Great!

[TheJoePaul]

Nice job, can never get enough of a band that I grew up with (im 50) hope to see more boston from you , have you seen wilfred fumbey vid? you and him are the best youtube reproduction I have ever seen - Thanks, Joe from Philly

[blabblab1212]

Sounds fantastic! I believe it's you playing. I don't know why other people don't.

[Ratchetfan000]

how much was your set ._.

[joeymcnew37209]

Great Job!

[JnDSHIOW]

perfect man and the flips just added to it

[FL50DRUMR]

AWESOME cover of a great song, you NAILED IT. Your set is sweet, and you know how to play it. I liked the stick tosses, the short flip was unexpected and sweet. I think flips and tosses are better than fake twirls. Real twirls in between beats is cool too. I'm just a beginner, I can learn a lot from your vids - GREAT WORK - keep posting!

[AshDrums7]

ur such a beast man, thats all i have to say!!!

[Pauliewanna]

@AshDrums7 That's what she said !

[AshDrums7]

@Pauliewanna thanks for that

[TruthUnderFire]

@Pauliewanna

Not bad man. Check your foot in case you were going for absolute duplication of this tune. Otherwise I like your style bro! Kick ass. 

T

[mac2monster2]

I don't care what anybody says about the track overpowering the drums, you tell the timing is spot on and every beat is clean and dead on to the song. No way to fake that. Dude can play the bongo's !

[MrDuke15]

Well i'll tell you one thing , you played dammm great, you maded it look so easy and i know it's not that easy to play that song, i really do wish i could play a set of drums half as good as you do bro, don't pay any attention to the butt heads on here that are so quick to jump on ya , i'll give ya a 99.8 % on that take , keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!

[gowhitesox12]

thanks pauliewanna! now every time i jam to this song at 0:43 i gotta toss my stick in the air haha! its really fun

[tmage01]

lol, i wonder how many drummers this song inspired to begin playing. all i wanted to do was drum after i first heard this tune. just something about it's that's fun. you play it very and with style. it shows that this is an old favorite of yours too. nice job, as always.

[timh111]

SWEET!!! No stress at ALL!! Dude, you got SKILL!! Saving this to my favs!!

[guifercon]

You reaaaaly know the music.

I can see you reaaaly like the music.

Right?

Great job!!!

[Lhadybebot]

they are the gods of rock. there is non higher. excellent drumming i salute you.

[froggpond1]

Hi Paulie I thought I'd send a vid response. You do a great job on this right handed,,,, so now you can see a left handed version.

BTW respect on the rush!!!!

[froggpond1]

Hi Paulie..I figured i'd sed a vid response. the tubers can see left ahnd right version.

BTW Respect, you do a great job on the Peart tunes!!!

Cheers

FM

[fatmike109]

That is WAY FUCKING COOL!

[Mitchkilroy]

where you from?

[DAVEKLOKForTheHorde]

subscribed. for pure epicness.

[Alteir97]

Dang man. Your good. Im 13 and I can play this song but I can't get the rolls just right. Just a request but can you play Beatles songs too?

[Natephish]

Fantastic.

[rabiddaffy]

Well you're really talented. I've been playing for about 4 months and can play some pretty difficult songs. Hey if you're ever looking for some songs to cover please check out Portugal. The Man. I can't figure out how to play any of their songs other than The Sun.

[rabiddaffy]

Great job! How many times did you play through this to get it correct?

[Pauliewanna]

@rabiddaffy maybe 3 or 4 times. But I mean, I've heard the song a million times. It was one of the very first cassettes I had back in the 70s and as I said in the 'more info' section, this song was the very first song I ever played on my first rental kit more than 20 years ago.

[froggpond1]

@Pauliewanna I think I had it on 8track,,,,,lol

[zetsu654]

amazingg

[HRD2BT91]

FANTASTIC JOB. YOU NAILED IT

[shickywhicky]

sooo clean, really nice work.

[armydoc63]

wow.dude like we would say in Louisiana......YA BURNT THAT MUTHER TO THE GROUND......

[preston6671]

Very well done

[forceskater90]

this is perfection

[becauseiey]

Your drums sound amazing

[sportsguyblake]

It's nice seeing more of a variety of music, instead of just rush :P

[Workinman101]

5 by 5,,,, well you know :-)

[zemog630]

Yes! You nailed this tune note for note. You've got great feel and timing. Keep it up! Long live classic rock.

[ole9421]

Damn good job!

[spmetal666]

[MrCosta2009]

[wendrummer]

fuckin perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!

[renoalex1]

Holy shit!!! You are the new god of drums. I'm not that good but I'll get there soon. You're fucking good dude :)

[roostmaster911]

i have a question for you. where did you learn to play that song? please write back ASAP.

[fpena911]

Impressive!!!

[Airquad19]

Paulie my brutha.You have nothing to prove man.GREAT JOB PLAYING BOSTON.Most haters cant even do what there hating.

[HawthorneDrummer]

All i can say is....dammmmmmmmm...that was awesome, i could barely hear the difference between you and the song..and good job singing along, i always tend to do that when playing this song. lol 5/5

[nitrokid34]

wow dude ive watched this video like 5 times and it is still awsome. what size ride are u playing??? greaat job

[RazrHack]

AMAZING job dude! Did the band - and the song - justice. Bonus points for having the Brad Delp hair & beard.

[PAULOcbi]

I just jammed along wit my LesPaul,lotta fun, 5 stars

[Pooxer]

les paul ftw

[onebadasstinter]

Paulie u are probly one of the best drummers on youtube keep up the great videos !!!

[Heli3000]

Anyone with eyes and ears can see that you played the song. You did an excellent job....!!!!

[T7Konvicted]

and the thing about being the first time ever is definately a load of shit lol i'm sorry not buyin it.

[Pauliewanna]

Don't be so hasty in your replies. I said that this was the first song (not this particular video take) that I ever played on the drums. If you click on the 'more info' section, I clearly said "I thnk this take is a teensy bit better".

[MrGH3Man4]

Ok jeez and Well Done

[T7Konvicted]

it looks like he's getting every not right, but the problem is the drumming sounds almost exactly like the song. you should do a cover of the song with the music quieter.

[Pauliewanna]

yes, my sound techniques were definitely evolving here and the audio is a bit too loud from the record. I'll probably eventually redo this in HD with good sound and then perhaps convince you and the other haters that I can actually play this song.

[cobra012297]

@Pauliewanna Dont listen to the haters. I can tell by watching you are hitting everything right on the money. These are just people who wish they could play like you. I play drums, but nowhere near your level. Props from someone not jealous of your talent!!

[blabblab1212]

@T7Konvicted If you were a bit more observant, you could see that he is playing this perfectly note for note.

[blabblab1212]

Don't listen to these other people. Your super talented. I would pay to see you play.

[MrGH3Man4]

ok try Kiss Rock N Roll all nite

[MrGH3Man4]

and 1 song Request can u plz do Iron Maiden's "2 Minutes to midnight"

[Pauliewanna]

Did it. Look on my page or search for Pauliewanna and "midnight"

[MrGH3Man4]

Love The Drumming plz reply

[Pauliewanna]

Thanks! Is that enough of a reply?

[Just1MoreRound]

Yo brother, great job!!

[mscott21]

I'd love to see you doing "Hitch A Ride". Great job, man.

[roostmaster911]

thats the first song i wanna learn on the drums! ever since i forst heard that ive wanted to lol.. idk why but i like all the old songs and im only 13.

[imeem1701]

You should probably change your name to Mr. Fantastic because you are that on the drums. Great job.

[femsadist]

hey musicmachine i dont see you posting anything youve ever done :) paulie marry me !

[musicmachine91]

i wasn't dissing the man, haha, i just thought it was funny, hence the smileys

[musicmachine91]

weak toss at 1:28 :(, playing with the butt end of your stick....not cool :)

[Pauliewanna]

I only did it for 21 seconds and that was just so I wouldn't interrupt the flow of the song. If you closed your eyes, you would NOT hear me playing with the butt, nor would you hear me miss a beat switching it back.

[4cClubT]

catching the sticks at 2:27-awsome

[firestorm531]

0:43 epic win.

[madchops82]

Great playing!!!

[vettedreams]

your "the man" paulie........awesome

[panzerson2]

great stuff dude...great stuff luv it!

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

i love jamming to this song great job

[yikes00]

Man this guy is good and fun to watch play those drums.

[backndsaddle]

Excellent stuff. You're great. I'd love to hear some Yes (Bruford)

[johnnyaxe88]

Awesome man! You oughtta try a vid drumming to Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights" or Heart's "Barracuda"

[Pauliewanna]

Barracuda is up. Check it out. I think it's probably one of my best and favourite 'other covers'

[JTrials31]

Nice, Boston's another band that I love! Really good job on a great song!

[guyco101]

awesome!!!! 5/5

[dahmsins]

MORE MORE MORE Videos!! ha!

Awesome - your the best on YouTube!

[Ginzzo60]

That was awesome !!!!

[diofan]

Dude! That was TIGHT! Loved it!

[pfmaple]

Thanks heaps - really generous of you to post all this great drumming for me to show my kids how great the 70s and 80s were! Between you and marlowedk on bass, I really am addicted to YT! Best Regards, Paul in OZ P.S. Any requests taken? How 'bout No Self Control by Peter Gabriel (Phil on drums) or anything by Steely Dan (Steve Gadd)?

[zepxdt]

great job i love playing this too,those off beat skips on snare and all that cymbal work joy to play.

[ktk72593]

I LOVE YOUR DRUMMING! YOUVE INSPIRED ME! IM PRETTY GOOD BUT NOT AS GOOD AS YOU! YOUR A GOD TO ME! KEEP ROCKING! add me and ill subrscribe to you too if u want that also!

[ddjj68]

Great song from great band. Tragic that Brad could not continue his life on this earth. I would like to ask who your 2nd favorite rock drummer is. And I'd love to see you do a cover of AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill" Should be fun to watch... Have a good weekend.

[Pauliewanna]

My kit is all torn apart right now because I'm going to a gig next weekend. But after June 8th, maybe I'll get to some other covers that aren't Rush because they tend to withstand the censors a little easier. Someone who handles Rush is on a mission!

[daterminator70]

chur bro...added u 2 ma faves yiiiyaaaaah

[ferskibones]

Well done!

[zackdiliberto]

good vid man and holy shit nice kit

[shoap5]

dude you literally like ALL of the same music I do... keep rockin bro

[MHarrison84]

sounds just like it:] 5 stars good fucking job man

[EXSKIDLEZME]

5 outta 5 this actually sounds better than the original cuz its makes it come alive a little more i guess great job on hi hat snare great set also

[dwilson0243]

very nice.

[dshs69]

DAMN GOOD JOB MAN

[isipschneider]

Wow, pretty cool. This was my favorite band waaaay back when. I'm impressed with this drummer. He rocks!

[TheDahomino]

ahh... well in that case well played sir, well played

[v3blackrazr]

amazing drumming! i hope someday to get my own set and start learning and playing. you are an awesome inspiration and i'm so glad i found your videos!

[ifrit945]

lol well u can see he catches the stick and the thin end sometimes. Anywho good job man, keep it up

[TheDahomino]

he was just flipping his stick over for emphasis on the ride i do believe

[Pauliewanna]

No, I was recovering from the stick toss that I caught backwards at 1:31. I took a chance the first time I had to flip it back one-half turn and it worked out at 1:46.

[lanelax30]

it looks cool as hell though

[Detlev6969]

I'm blown away dude!! YOU ARE TOO AWESOME!! You're a true pro, the stick toss recov was so smooth, nobody caught it ....LOVE IT!!

[MHarrison84]

i didn't catch it haha

[pooladden]

nice little recover at 1:45 lol

[modesti712]

brilliant 5*

[therocklabels]

i would like to play some time can i play with madness or stargaizer you are very good keep that way

[jo5377]

good job! nice drum set !

[skidooer99]

nice man sick job

[touchdown118]

Very good! This is also one of the first songs I learned. Ton of fun

[budro2792]

your good but your a dork lol

[Pauliewanna]

You can tell I'm a dork from watching me drum? You should be a jury consultant!

[MoonTheLoonPremier]

budro2792 is a retard

[abashal]

Hey budro2792 why are you calling him a dork? He's a great drummer posting his vids for us to enjoy... and we do!! Eat shit you Moron

[stinky304]

YOUR A DRUMMING GOD!!!!!!!!!

[chbarber1]

DUDE! awesome cover!

[LouddrummerO]

One of my favorite Boston tunes, and you nailed it! You are a very acurate solid drummer. Those rock band kids go by the game how it was written. What happened to playing by ear:) and improvising within context. Thats what i love about youtube is it is the best learning resource for musicians, and every interpertation can be different to any degree.

This one is going in my favorites:) Keep up the great work fellow Canadian!

[TheDahomino]

i really didn't think they should have been either... it doesn't sound like it in the real song... i love this song and are making it the first i learn...insipired by you and a fellow drummer

[TheDahomino]

no but just saying... they made the note chart like that... i don't personally think its right but that must have been how the song was technically written... i believe the way you play is 100% correct

[Pauliewanna]

Here's a discussion about it on a video of someone playing it on ROCK BAND:

CaptSke3ter (4 months ago) Show Hide

I'm not getting this song just because those blues are charted horribly. Does not look fun at all to play.

Reply

Yea, its sad that they overcharted one of my favorite Boston songs :( Those should NOT be triplets on the blues.

[TheDahomino]

hey there pauli! big fan... just got a drumset wednesday... type rock and roll band expert drums in the search and watch the note chart when it gets to the ride... you'll see

[Pauliewanna]

You're basing suppositions about music on a video game?

[TheDahomino]

true dat on the triple according to rock band lol

but you totally can't tell the difference in the song

[Pauliewanna]

what are you talking about? I'm not being confrontational, but really, what are you guys talking about with these 'triples'?

[HeavyWater27]

I do believe that every third ride note begins a triple, if i'm not mistaken. Great cover.

[lukkie4]

man you are amazing, waiting for more.

[ComradeWasabi]

Great song, but I would imagine you could play Boston stuff in your sleep at this point. Still, well done as usual... :P

[GretschDrummer12]

i dont know why the umg is taking down these drum covers if anything its good for rush... to have someone on youtube doing a drum cover of one of of your bands songs is like my dream and a huge honor

[JaredParagon2112]

remember i had the bassist that wouldnt do anything but punk, well i convinced him to learn this, i basically said alright make an effort for me or i wont learn ur songs, he says its really hard but he said hell learn, they must REALLY not want me to leave! :)

[wearetheos1]

That was AWSOME man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oaktownman89]

you're pretty damn good man. why aren't you in a band????? get paid fool

[Pauliewanna]

how do you know that I'm not in a band?

[Oaktownman89]

alright what band are you in

[thedrummer141414]

first you turn me onto iron maiden with two min 2 midnite, and now im onto boston but rush will forever be the king! this is one of my favorite songs to play i find myself singing without even realizing it!

[VenusBlue4u]

OH MY, at first I was so po'd because this was not Boston live. I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID NOT MISS THIS. EXCELLENT AND DON'T ANYONE EVER TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENT...JUST EXCELLENT, VERY GOOD JOB!

[timbo3414]

great! your cymbals sound amazing!

[CJWFilms]

Wow so awesome!

[elvis4hawaii]

amazing cover

can see you enjoy it loads

really amazing

[gdowl]

Tight as a camels arse in a sandstorm.

Brilliant track by the greatest band also....

[SnickersWasHere555]

Kick ass, brother

[GameSoljer]

[tater0909]

[party1518479]
