Truly incredible job....especially with the e-drums! I take it all of your drums have 2 or 3 triggers? It seems they are changing voices a few times throughout the song. That must have taken a while to program!
I don't love the sound of your electronic kit, but I love the way you play it. Great job, especially since you play it in traditional grip. Neil doesn't play the solo that way so you must have had to rework it a little, but you did great!
warspy, you're an absolute idiot! Do us all a favor and don't post anything else ever again. For everyone else debating real drums versus electronic drums, you point is mute as the technique and accuracy of the drumming is spot-on.
I support this drummer and his video. Don't know if your comment was directed at me or 'warspy', the member to which I was replying. If it was me, you totally missed the context of my reply to him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what the fuck is this.. that was the shitty-est shit i have ever wanted to shit all over cuz it remindes me of a shit covered shit maker that u have to shit on to appreciate.. it was shit.
I agree that real drums sound better. There is a part of the solo where Peart snaps the sticks across the outside of the snare to give a superb jazzy sound you just can't replicate with an electric set. But I have to say I have been a fan of Rush to the point where I can tap every off beat with my fingers (clearly can't play the drums!) but this guy has got the solo down to a tee. I did see a tribute band here in the UK called YYZ that were excellent though
Maybe that's cause Peart wasn't in the band when that song was released with their first album...it was John Rutsey. Maybe that's what you're getting at though.
Watching you play that solo makes me realize how wrong I've been trying to play it. Oh well, I really enjoyed watching it. Great job on mastering that solo.
Don't listen to these hater'S! You're an original! I'm sure neil would approve cause your skills are magnificent! You've taken what you have and become masterfull! It's easy to sit back and make crappy comments, but could they do better? doubt it:)lol
I'm a drummer too and this is a very good tribute to Neil Peart... But no offense its a nice drum set and all but real acoustic drums and Paragon cymbals sound way better.
You should re-record it on an acoustic drum set. The sounds of those drums seem so false. Especially the snare at the beginning. It seems like there are very few possible sounds it can make.
Wow, I used to own that same set, and let me tell you. You nailed it with how limited the trigger pick-ups allow it on that frustrating Yamaha. I loved it, you went beyond your limitations play the notes to a "T!" IMPRESSIVE...
Fantastic job... though by now I'm not surprised. You've got every nuance of Neil's playing nailed. Consistently impressive. (and just think.. come May 1, you'll have a whole new CD of music to learn - new Rush!! Woot! :-)
