[lambofgwar09]

[tomfoyfx]

[kev01993]

gota get that fan in there, it makes all the difference lmfao

[iluvceb]

idk if this is just me, but some of the beats and vocals sound a bit like tom sawyer by rush

[Erxjo8]

Neil Peart fan

[LaserSocket]

Keep workin on it man, you'll get it. I'd HIGHLY recommend seeing if your height/distance on the KICK is good for your stature.. that could cause you alot of stress playing if your too far away, or too high, or too low.. you know. but other than that, great job dude.

[superrushfan]

@LaserSocket thanks alot. you are right i have adjusted my height and technique, i will be posting another video soon and you will see the difference.

[MMDGUITARPLAYER]

[xLambxOfxGodxOwnsx]

Thumbs up if you came here looking for The Rev :(

[FlyingMonkeysWii]

@xLambxOfxGodxOwnsx You got something better than the Rev... you should be thanking Youtube

[NeverShoutFaggot]

You are not The Rev. I feel dissapointed.

[FreezieFrostMan]

This is awesome!

[MrDrumcraft]

good job

[fabioadias]

You need to take these cymbals a bit lower... they're way too high, man. Don't worry too much about having a kit just like Neil's, you should focus on your comfort whilst playing the drums.

[Kevinruddmolestskids]

AWESOME KIT!!

[superrushfan]

thanks dude. i will post some new videos once i get my camera angles working .

[A7xDrummer18]

[sergantblade268]

[addzj]

[superrushfan]

thanks pal. actually my name is jimmy but i put jim . people still get confused. oh well.

[mcrfankifo]

haha do u really think this is jimmy (the rev) sullian hell no he wuz only 28 and looks nothing like this guy

[wileygitfiddler]

oh yeah, don't worry about the foot, it all comes back with time...

[superrushfan]

I started playing in sock feet a week ago and what a big difference. alot more control and speed.

[wileygitfiddler]

I think you're doing a great job brother.... I started playing Rush back in 85 or 86, you're right it gets in your veins!

[superrushfan]

Thanks pal. appreciate it.

[Shittybill121]

is that your only fan?

[superrushfan]

why cant you play it. i believe anyone can play it if you try hard enough. first step is to learn the music note for note. i have listened to rush since i was 10 , its in my veins now

[TheWho852]

jesus that kit must of cost a fortune man!

[superrushfan]

more than a car

[Sk8erx1ooox]

hahaha, well what kind of car?

[superrushfan]

depends where you live but lets say a mid size sedan. my kit is custom tricked by dw, has 24k gold hardware on the shells and private reserve african bubinga x shell and vlt shell technology. the rack is stainless dw. someday i might buy another one with different hardware.

[Convict6of6dead6]

R.I.P Jummy"the rev"sullivan you will be missed

also awesome drumming but not as good as The Rev but very good

[superrushfan]

[superrushfan]

I guess the drummer you mentioned died huh

[andyj2012]

yes, Jimmy Owen Sullivan, 28, Better know as the rev, one of the best drummers of all time,

Rest In Piece Brother

[volcomskaterkid07]

this is cool. I love the cymbal sweeps :)

[Clipperfication]

good job dude;) Great drumset(Y)

[superrushfan]

thanks for the compliments.

[ddrusa]

is the drummer in the band still around

[Pauliewanna]

Hey Jim. First of all, is that the superrush fan in the foreground keeping you cool?

Second of all, BEAUTIFUL drumset.

Advice:

a) truthfully, I think you should lower your cymbals a touch. It looks like you are doing a little too much arm work.

b) relax a little bit. You obviously know the song pretty well, but some fills are rushed because I think you are a little too excited (this is an easy thing to be when playing along to this song).

c) as you said, other than feet, it's decent.

[superrushfan]

Hey Pauliewanna thanks so much for the advice ,i do appreciate it. yes ns just gets me rocking on thekit. i will check the cymbals and see how they work out lower. i have been using oak sticks along time and i just switched to portnoy hickorys. i really like them. take care

[superrushfan]

thank you so much brother. yes rushed in some spots. my damn ear piece kept falling out. and it was distracting me. its a learning progress. one thing is i am not intimidated by this song anymore. though it keeps you focused.

glad you see me progressing.

[MrPelicanPants]

I also forgot to say you did a great job. Time is a bit rushed in places, but man, your rolls from the high toms and going all the way down are really nice. Spot on in most places. Not an easy thing to do at all, jumping from one tom to the next so quickly like that and keeping it fluid. You've come a long way.

[MrPelicanPants]

Fuck your kit sounds awesome. So jealous hahaha!
