  • A tiny few things different from the original but non the less your a tight player and you have a great talent. Nice work.

  • Big deal! I can do that ten times bett...........No I can't......Not even kinda. Amazing talent you have there kid!!! Keep it up!!

  • Great job!

  • omg so good 

  • Have you tried using lighter/skinnier sticks? May be easier to get around with for you.

  • This was... Absolutely amazing man! You're gonna be the new Neil Peart! ;)

    And btw, how do you tune your kit? It sounds amazing. I have a Pearl kit called "Pearl VSX (vision series)", it's a good kit but i suck at tuning so :(

  • Ahh you make me so jealous!. Im not even a musician at all. But to be so wonderfully talented and to have such direction at your age is a RARE gift.

  • Wow. You're amazing.

  • I love Rush and Neil Peart is the man. I've tried to play stuff he does and it's good to see someone else doing it too... doing it better than me, actually. Very good stuff

  • kid ur a frickin amazing keep it up Rush is the best band ever! message me

  • you have just inspiard me furthure. It was so realistic , no mistakes not one amazing

    have you been to a Neil Peart website ,

    well if yu have not i think you should post the video on it or on facebook!

    looking forword to seeing more of your video's.

    see you.

  • There are 7 morons out there......

  • YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!! Watch out Neil Peart..you may be replaced! Please keep all of us posted...and sign with the best record company there is... when you are bombarded with offers down the road! The world is your kid! Thanks, you just made another fan!

  • hey! just wondering when you started playing?

  • Stick to Rush, kid. Maybe one day if you find the right "Geddy Lee" and "Alex Lifeson", you could start a Rush tribute band.

    I just ain't lookin' forward to the day Geddy/Neil/Alex dies. Rush rules.

    Keep up the good work.

  • You know those videos people post of their little 6 year old brother supposedly playing a famous song but it stills sounds really really bad? Then in the comments people support the kid for playing bad and blah blah blah? I thought this was going to be like those videos. I was wrong. Very few mistakes, soudns very good, and you are at a young age. You deserve all your nice comments. Keep rocking.

  • the thidon't even have my own drumset. i have 5 guitars, 3 electric, 2 acoustic, a flute, clarinet, a mic, (im a huge singer) gosh, i even usse my friends drums. owen, you give me so much inspiration, i can hardly explain.

  • jeez, im 11 and i am surprized we are at the same level. people say i am really good, but i don't believe them. but i stand corrected. :D i love u owen! i wish we could just jam 2gether.

  • this is insane your self taught, eleven, kick-ass and im two years older than you and i cant get near your level!

  • I'm a drummer about his age and i want to meet him, sit, and play

  • Wow! You look so comfortable and natural up there! Like its second nature for you! Keep it up my young friend, you are amazing!!

  • Owen, Moving Pictures was my first Rush cassette, yes, I said cassette. I started playing drums in 7th grade and Rush was always playing on my stereo too.

    Neil is a great teacher of the rudimentary principles of drumming. Follow your dreams Owen...you have the gift. The future is what you make it.

  • PERFECT....ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.....i have never encountered anyone with such talent at such a young age.

  • dude.......... awesome

  • This is good. With better mikes it would sound better. Keep up the good work.

  • we loved it. great job buddy . keep it up,

  • i have seen all your videos :D

    

  • Fantastic!!  Stick with it (pun intended ha).

  • Any chance we'll get to see your cover of YYZ

  • dude sweet influence. i can tell you have a very excellent future set out for you. If somebody comments that you aren't doing well, just remember that not everyone's influences are the same. But you definitely have a very strong foundation and a solid connection to how to play well. Best of Luck!

  • "Impressive. Most impressive. Neil Peart has taught you well." ;)

  • Great Job! You are only going to get Better! Glad to see a young man like you listening to one of the greats! I was about your age when I first heard this song, hooked ever since. Kids these days don't know what music is, glad to hear that you listen to all styles of music, not just one. This band has been around 2 years before I was born and still going strong, got to see them play this live more than a half dozen times (they took it out of rotation for a while).

  • actually an awesome cover, nailed every detail. keep er goin and tell your parents to hook you up with some additions to your set! you deserve it. most drummers I jam with can't even handle this song and they're like 7 years older than you!

  • Hey Owen, outstanding! My son is 18 and a pretty darn good drummer and he impresses me...you impress the heck out of me...Rock On!

  • Great job dude! You have GREAT taste in music as well. :) I could never do that, haha

  • Owen, you are really good. I have to say it made my day to find these videos, so great to see a young kid that is into real music, and not the corporate garbage that is out there today. keep it up!

  • So many kind comments. Thank so much. I read every one and they are my inspiration.

    -Owen

  • I have been a dedicated Rush fan for the past 29 years. Your work and obvious talent are remarkable indeed. Thank you.

  • @OwensDrumming I hate rush >.< it just really annoys me im more into some heavy metal stuff like august burns red and haste the day and as i lay dying :( im sorry but keep on drumming my man ur pretty good

  • You rock Owen. Not only your accuracy, but I can tell you play with emotion, what counts the most.

  • This kid is Super Awesome!! Big Dreams for him. Never give up on your dreams. You put a lot of drummers to shame! Thanks.

  • I came in here thinking, lol this fag wants to be Neil Peart but sucks, but actually he's just uber awesome, and he sets his kit up like Neil because Neil sets it up in the best way possible.

  • I hope Neil sees this.

  • Unreal dude! I didnt think it was humanly possible to play the ending. You totally nailed it. Keep the songs coming!

  • im impressed!! i just subscribed cant wait to see another vid from this amazing drummer!!

  • heres if u want to see it again 0:00

  • DUDE!!! this is the coolest shit I have ever seen! you can really see your passion in your playing.. kick ass buddy!

  • You are the next Neil Pert, keep practicing you"ll be huge.

  • Owen, bravo! Excellent young man.

  • Being 11 and following Neil Peart is like a junior high kid dunking from the free throw line ala Dr. J and Jordan. Very ballsy, kid. And well done :-)

  • this is amazing God Bless the children uhhhhhh where does this little monster go from here ? I WILL BE WATCHING .

  • Well done young man. You nailed this one:)

  • I want to learn this song so much! (yes i'm a drummer too!) I want to post some vids soon! I love Neil pert and Rush! :)

  • i love rush and hey im at the top lol

  • great job. sounds amzing

  • Sounds good man. you got some chops. Odd drum set up though...

  • beast!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • You've picked a wonderful inspiration in Mr. Neil Peart! This performance was very tight, you are very talented....just AMAZING!! Keep up the good work, kid! :)

  • excelente interpretación

  • Absolutely outstanding! Keep up the passion and the great work. I'm amazed!

  • @reikiman13 Thank you!

  • You are a bad ass, I loved it, you're great!!!

  • Dude. You are AMAZING. Well done - I'm 30 and I'd want you to teach ME how to get better. Truly awesome!

  • Not sure what you are using for mics, one thing I like to use when recording is one or two PZM (Pressure Zone) mics. I place them on the wall to get a more ambient sound. I still mic my individual drums/cymbals, but the PZM mics capture the ambient sounds for a much fuller mix.

  • Damn I'm jealous, and I'm over 40. Keep it up. Your good and will be a great drummer. HAVE FUN!

  • Whatever you do. Don't touch those exposed wires behind you! :0

  • I've actually gotten to the point now where I enjoy people playing Rush more that watching Rush themselves. Why? Because its evolving talent that needs recognition and encouragement. well done.

  • I have been playing drum since the christmas day 2011 and I am already in a pretty good band named ANIMATION and i am on youtube but ur pretty good man keep going on it

  • Not bad man. Ur kit is awsome and u played with such great timing and precesion. Ur parents must be proud. I too play to rush. I also play some jazz and def leppard. Im mostly into Japanese Rock.

  • Awesome!!

  • nice one kid,...very nice...

  • woa i wish i wudda started playin that early and was that good too ahaha. rush fans will have fans for eternity

    

  • I thought i was good :(

  • Hey dude... I'm 53 years old and have been playing since I was 8 and I don't think I could have played that as well as you did. Thanks for the post, that was awesome, for real !!!!

  • Neil Peart would be proud!

  • Are you sure you arent asian? OK, so I've read the comments and watched the video...and while I chose guitar and bass over drums years ago, I still have spent my time behind a kit. That being said you have chops kid, good chops. Now, a little time spent focusing on flow and consistency will do you well. Sometimes you have to pick a boring song to play over and over, you'd be surprised what it will do for you. Other than that...to quote Han Solo: "That's great kid, don't get cocky!"

  • Impressive......Most Impressive.

  • Own...you have done yourself proud! Keep going my friend...you will do what you were made for doing in your young life...Rock on!

  • Little dude! You Rock!!!

  • Kid, this is what you were made for. You were built for drumming. Follow it wherever it takes you in life. Unless it's Islam. That TOTALLY screwed up Cat Stevens. Just saying. Rock on, Kid!

  • at first, i read the comments, and at first i thought it was fake, bt i saw you do the rumming, and this was real.

  • Dude, I am 4 times your age and I listened to them 30 years ago, and I have to say... you rocked it! It may or may not be note for note but it is a damn good rendition and my hat is off to you. Stay with your passion and see where it can take you. Good luck for your future, and keep rocking little buddy!

  • Great job! Why not move some of the cymbals closer so you dont have to expend so much energy getting to them in time?

  • Great job little man!

    Don't know why some would think it's fake, you can hear things all through the song that show it's not, like some accidental rim shots etc. As for those saying you'll be better than Neil by the time you're 20, I'm sure you understand that playing along to another drummer's beats is one thing, but actually making them up yourself and fitting them into the structure and feel of a song is a whole different animal.

    Whatever you end up doing, always play for the fun of it!

  • Uhhhh,, what happened in the very last second of the song??????? Joking of course. I wish I was half as good when I was 11 (he is 13 now everyone) on my old Ludwig set.

  • Proud to admit I'm not this good, keep up the work and you'll be as big as cobus in a couple years or sooner.

  • Id say since this IS a Neil Peart drum piece, take some time to jsut cool out and listen to how he lays the fills in. The stroke pattern is not jsut for flash, in fact Id say that Peart is IMO a non flash player. The strokes in his fill are crucial to the overall feel of the beat. Which brings me to my next point-along with the fill strokes and count, watch his accents and his punches are part of the overall feel so take care to lay them in on the pulse. Overall your feel is dead on.

  • @007fan97 Hey! Thanks for the comment!!!! Glad you enjoyed. I can assure you that this is 100% real. The only reason it might sound fake is because of the way I miked my kit here. I only used four mics, so I had to use much more EQ to get it to sound punchy. Also, YouTube's codecs completely alter the sound. Thanks!!!

    -Owen

  • Dude is gonna be rich one day!

  • I am crying tears of joy right now. an 11 year old is almost as good as Neil Peart himself. Keep Practicing and you can carry on his legend and maybe (I cannot believe I am actually saying this) surpass him one day. I will be subscribing and taking a look at you doing Limelight. You my friend are an example of pre-teen/teenage talent. Not the Rebecca Black or Beiber crap that people think is godly.

  • Very good! You've got lots of talent at such a young age!

  • Mad Skill! You'll drum circles around Neil Peart by the time you're 20. GREAT JOB!

  • how much do you practice?

  • @chezjackson Too much. (lol) No, I'm only kidding. There never could be too much practice! I try to practice about 4 hours a day. One on latin, one on jazz, one on hip-hop, and one on Rush.

  • @OwensDrumming I like how Rush has its own hour, Keep it man sounds good!

  • That was awesome!

  • Still rocking out man ! \m/

    Good expression and control.

    Your cymbals sound great, but generic. Maybe spice em up with some more creative sounds.

  • Your a good drummer. the only thing that you need to do is move your cymbals and drums closer to you. this will boost your control and prescision

  • Hi Owen! My son and I love your videos. I am trying to learn Subdivisions. Can we download your video to my ipod? If not, no problem. Thanks for posting these videos. You are very inspiring! - Brenda

  • Very good, man! Keep it up! Rush is my all-time favorite band as well.

  • dude awesome =)

  • All you need to do now is grow into your set! lol great job! I was thinking of doing this acapella (unacompanied from rote memory) and still plan to!

    Kudos on that really hard triplet part (the hardest one i'm sure u know which one) it'll be easier to get it smooth once u grow into the set (if that's your set).!

  • Bro I dont care what anyone says you do not need advice if anything they should take a lesson from you I love drums and you are doing a fantastic job keep it up bud!!!!!!!!!!

  • GREAT JOB

  • U rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • U rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hi owen im 11 too nd i play drums too if u want to see my vidieo type in sherrier2000 :)

  • Dude, you are GOOD. Keep it up and hopefully you'll be jamming with the greats.

  • amazing! , but how can you reach those toms that are like 50 feet in the air? haha

  • You'll go far, kid!

  • Holy crap, dude...

    I only wish I had been playing drums at your age, or had discovered Rush before I was 24...

    I'm now learning Subdivisions, and your video on here is absolutely the best tool to learn from...

    None of those flashy angles from the Peart videos...

  • I couldn't do it! Rock on Brother!!! You are pretty damn good!!!

  • stay humble , future drum god

  • Excellent job!

  • A young Neil Peart in training...

    a job well done on a very difficult song!

  • Great job Owen! Looks like you worked very hard to get where your at.

    Keep up the good work! Very impressive. I would love to play bass with you.

  • When I was 11, I was air-jamming to Spirit of Radio. Nice to see you're further along than I was!

  • @heashon2000 Haha me too! to this day I have no idea why I was possesed to air drum for hours to spirit of radio, I had one full stick and one half a stick that was signed by a local rock band in western washington late 70's early 80's? lawls, it would seem i was not the only one air drumming to that cassette

  • ridiculously epic

  • Nice drum set dude!!! you did really well considering thats a tough song to play

  • hell of a job man way to go!!!

  • Damn good job Kid,,WOw

  • impressive for 11 years old

  • lol all the people who give advice always seem to use big words to sound cool and try to act as if they kno more.. fact is there jelous they cant play as good as this 11 year old. you got talent kid dont take these fags advice, bcuz obviously, you already know EXCATLY what your doing.

  • Do you share this kit with someone? it seems like those crashes are really out of the way to play naturally

  • Great job there! Though your snare drum sounds a lil weird :/

  • damn broooo

  • FAKE AND GAY... jk this is awesome

  • @luchianolovesyou Haha, you had me for a minute there....thanks for the comment!!!!!
