Rush "YYZ" - Drum Cover

[Rushfan551]

Are the sizes 8, 10, 12, 14 toms, 22' bass drum and 14' snare?

[KillKode217]

man i have been watching you since 2 days u put this up. thanks man. good job on the rush covers

[73drumfreak]

Awesome drumming and great cover. Can i ask where your friend purchased the Neil Peart hat? Ive been looking for one for a long time and cant seem to find one.

[boerthjm]

Good stuff man!! The only spots that could be refined are the two 4-note grouping fills (the one that comes right after the first bass fill (~1:48), and the one at the end of the song). There's a good video that breaks it down for ya:

Search: harber 4 grouping

[crissglitch666]

DUDE! AMAZING! I want to learn this song, but it sounds so complicated. Any pointers?

[neeneeyo]

you have Neil's hat! :D

[AphganREHAB]

thats not exactly right

[Rebelstar25]

is that electric kit where you ipod is a first act?

[JCustomZ]

nice stick throw fail

[KindaKevin]

Do you use a Double Pedal ? ... and by the way PHENOMENAL Cover !!!

[johnnylarue1]

@LedZeppelinRules1231 Ah ha, your obvisouly not a drummer.....too funny

[drummeracealex]

Best Cover I've seen of this song on Youtube! Keep it up. The only thing complaint is that, that kit could use a little more Sabian (or Paiste) and a little less or no Zildjian :P

[jampitts]

Now that was tight.

[12243211020]

After Neil dies guess who's replacing him :)

[drummerstar2]

yo good shit bro and i like how you spice up the beat and the fills. awesome

[theshleckman4390]

awesome drum set and good cover

thumbs up

[dkmarine12345]

AMAZING

[TheDirectorofFoo]

I like how you actually play good and have personality!!

[iasm94]

where do you get the hat i luv it

[gregsxanthemxx11]

thats mad good man!!

[DrFinkelstein99]

Damn kid. This is by far the best YYZ cover I have ever heard.

[FrasigaFelix]

Thank you for this video man!

[gallupi1965]

wow nice job!! 

[drummerb0y117]

Like if you noticed the Neil Peart style headwear

[voidstuff]

1:32 ... I think that was great ... but there a quite a few missing details

[Nickdiaublow]

Hey can i ask a question im trying to mic a drumset for my band how do you make it sound so nice. Great cover btw, you fucking rock

[zack7711]

dude. this guy is sick

[bestsonicfanever]

damn, when i cover this song i never have my splash so i hav to improvise!!!

[AlaskaRising]

nice neil hat

[crazyedd123]

man you're a brilliant drummer, i love your use of ghost note, i barely noticed them until i looked at what you were playing like at 1:25 on the snare.

i'm currently learning drums (about 3 months into it) i can play this song up to the mid-chordal section (with the disco-style high hats lifts), however i can't get ghost notes right or how to accent them.

got any suggestions on how to do ghost notes? XP

[74jailbreaker]

I see you busted out with the bass drum triplets in the main verse. Reminds me a lot of when they played YYZ in Rio, Peart did that same thing. Good job man.,

[Nopulse1337]

Was your bass around 45 seconds single or double pedal?

[thx1227]

@Nopulse1337 - Single pedal

[crissglitch666]

@thx1227 I assume you've mastered the heel-toe technique? Got any pointers for a heel-toe beginner? I have Jared Falk's bass drum secrets video, but I would like more input. Thanks!

[tensecondvids]

wheres the subscribe button?

[FSfilmsInc]

dude the hat is awesome, ive been thinking of doing something like that myself but i thought id better leave it to the people who can actually play rush like yourself, great cover man!

[JobForAKameron]

lol neil pert hat nice

[TD7516]

@crazeddrummer92

ok. i never said it sounded bad. i just said its not a great cover. he threw way too much bass in there. i was saying that peart has the right amount of bass, and when you throw more double bursts in there its just overkill

[TD7516]

dude, way too much bass, your sabotoging pearts work, you dont just do that to rush songs, add a little bass improv, it doesnt sound right.

[dannytoys]

good job my man

[bombarder10]

Technically amazing... though i do agree with some comments that the snare drum is a little different for this song (not saying its bad). Anyway, amazing cover.

[petch451]

beautiful kit my man!

[RockonKISS1122]

BEAST!!!!!!! LOL dude you are awesome i love this and the Tom Sawyer Cover

[AtzenpogenVol2]

hey my birthday is at the

18th november :)

[sticksbass]

whatssogreat about paiste anyway?

[Volentry]

the part around 0:50 really didnt need all that dynamics. kinda ruined it for me.

[DJRexim]

He emphasized the snare drum. So what? The rest was really accurate.

[Volentry]

no, i meant the beat. simple is better, really.

[DJRexim]

Sorry, I thought you meant the snare...

The bass is supposed to be that way.

[Volentry]

Nah it isn't. It doesn't have that many bass notes. The whole cover is amazing though, that's for sure.

[RockonKISS1122]

screw off dude it sounded awesome.

[Laatikkopaa93]

good job man

[dropCownage]

Sabian is better than zildjian..... though Sabian is just the company of someone in the Zildjian family who got mad that they weren't gonna inherit the zildjian company.

[barfface4000]

I do agree i prefer sabain much more but its all opinion about what cymbals you use. I love the paiste chinas

[Felipe2010goboys]

dat wuz awesome

[OrganicTrichome]

That was amazing!

I have a question is the roll at 2:47 single or double stroke?

[thx1227]

@OrganicTrichome - Thanks! It's a single stroke roll.

[Uberstor]

single

[RobsIsPRO]

i would reccomend sabian aax for the performance set its around 600 dollars and thats a ride a crash and hihats

[jandjenter]

u need to tune ur snare for that!!~!

[dudewat212]

EPIC!

[beastlyninja1]

By the way, im looking to buy some new cymbals in a few months, I have around a $650, $700 budget, and I at least need to replace my ride, 1 crash, and my hi hats. While I do like Zildjian, I do prefer Sabian. Any Ideas?

[hkyfreak123]

I would suggest the CB drum cymbals there around 75$ at long and mquade and they sound awseome. pick them up no im jus screwin around wit you LOL

[dsdrummerguy]

sabian has failed my requirements on countless occasions. i won't accept anything other than zildjian.

[RobsIsPRO]

i disagree i think every sabian series beats the rival zildjian cymbal, with the exception of the zildjian K to sabian aa

[russdonruss]

I haven't been impressed with the sound of most of Sabian's line. Even the new AAX's just seem like expensive B8's. Not sure why, but they come off too tinny and high-pitched. The older Zildjian stuff has too traditional of a sound.. So I use the newer K Custom Darks for my hats and ride--Paiste Signatures/Sound Formulas for my crashes. The sounds meld together nicely and sound gorgeous in the studio. I also like the K Custom Dark crashes. Hands down better sounding than Sabians.

[chronikss]

wow very nice

[StratovariusFTW]

i love you kit exept the snare

[beastlyninja1]

whats wrong with the snare?

[StratovariusFTW]

its like.. em, some kind of rensonace thing or something, its like POW-ooe

[Rockinnsk8inallday]

what do you mean?? The drumhead is a hydraulic, so it does sound a bit unique

[beastlyninja1]

I guess, but personally I kinda like it

[Rockinnsk8inallday]

yeah me too, I actually amazingly prefer a clear head on my snare than a coated, I just like it, cuz i got a Clear REmo Cs on my snare, and it sounds really good to me lol

[beastlyninja1]

lol, nice

[Ubben1999]

@Rockinnsk8inallday: Heh, i hate playing with a clear snare head, it's not that I don't like the sound or the feel, I just think it looks wrong :p.

[10pauin]

Can you do a cover with he "mini electric drum"???

[alexlifeson4pres]

Dude, you powned. o_O

[RMxIronnAssassin]

Nice job dude love it

[hellogoodbyefan13]

u ppl dissin this guy bout the bass pedal should stop. neil peart did alot of showboating himself. but u should tighten the snare a bit. but this is really good

[RenegadeMadeVideoman]

Your bass has an amazing sound. tighten your snare a little and it'd be perfect. love your setup

[mclewisa]

sweet at 3:32

[AnonymousAnarchy]

sick,

[willscoaster]

really good, but the snare doen't sound that good

[zamieh]

Don't like the bassdrum things you're doing, keep it clean

[thebrokedrummer]

dont like you're face! idk just thought id say that

[zamieh]

Just trying to make him improve what his doing, there's nothing wrong with the overall drumming but when he's doing that double-kick pedal thing it ruins alot of a great song..

[dudewat212]

Pure Greatness!

[jrex47]

wow man you actually IMPROVED on the greatest drummer of all time amazing job!

[MANCHESTERutd8]

hmmm except tht neil peart makes stuff like this up, he didnt copy off some other guy.

[jrex47]

didnt say he did i was saying this guy made it sound better he did an amazing job. lol bet ur not even a drummer

[gl0gg]

nice "neil peart as an old guy" hat

[crazyedd123]

i really like this cover, it's like you added your own little flavour to it

[jake33789]

and i love how the majority of this song is played on the ride cymbal

[296801]

SUBBED!!!!!!

[Pellesvenolof]

How long did it take to learn it?

[Pellesvenolof]

This is absolutely the best cover.. This video deserves so many more views! At least like 1 or 2 millions!

It's so flawless!

[jake33789]

I agree absolute precision 5/5 faves

[tmn1231]

the lighting and everything may have changed but transition was smooth

[Spakeinator]

[Gmeister000]

[gibsonplayer8]

I am a guitarist and It would be awesome to jam this one out with you! I have not come across a talented drummer like you in years. If you live in the NY tri-state area and you want to play some Rush tunes, let me know.

[dudewat212]

Greatness!!

[NoM3rcyForU]

Tom toms sounds orgasmic... i'm in love... lol..

[drumer363]

sounds nice ... but your playing the song wrong in the second hi hat part and the whole solo section is wrong you got skills just listen to the music

[timemachinedrummer]

your drums sound sweet !!! except for the snare tune it a little different

[trejomino]

Get a freakin' sweet pearl export set. And zildjian cymbals. :3

If you could afford all that, anyways...

[victorzito]

:) awesome!

[A1C1D1C]

amazing!!

[Toooinx]

What's your snare? I absolutely hate it. :D

[A1C1D1C]

dont hate bro. its not a bad sounding snare.

[thx1227]

Yeah, the snare isn't the problem in this case, it's a combination of the wrong kind of head and my lackluster tuning skills at the time...

[bman71717]

that was down with the sickness dawg!!!

[domeish]

Peart cap lol.

[RA710]

I love this guy!

[RA710]

[UrSkulled]

I think they're clear.

[MilinThraKWoW]

neil pert twirls his sticks.....and throws them....and plays kick ass drums with them....

is he a gay glamrocker?

[whatistheretotype]

how did you get that tone on your bass drum

[thx1227]

I have good sized pillow in the kick, and I use an Audix F14 mic mounted inside the kick pointed at the beater.

[mlkoi9]

at like 3:22 why did the camera change did u mess up and hav to edit

[thx1227]

No, the camera ran out of battery and I didn't have time to redo the last part until later that day.

[unclesam6]

how long have you been playing?

[thx1227]

About 12 years or so.

[TheDirectorofFoo]

I can't do that ride part, yet. Its pretty tough right now.

[perckeydoo2]

HOLY SH-- ure good

[evilmexicandrummer]

at 2:28 I was just like...OMG!!

best drummer on youtube!

[crazyzach5]

OMG i love the splash cymbal!!! it's the ultimate mini-cymbal of joy!!!

[UnconciousHippie]

what brand is that drum set, and how much would that set-up run for?

[thx1227]

It's a Tama Superstar 7 piece. This is a vintage kit, but the current 5 and 6 piece models are running from $600 to $900 without hardware.

[UnconciousHippie]

nice. I saw a shell kit like yours on guitar center for about $800 without hardware or a snare. it would cost about $1500 with a snare and all the hardware.

[bandgeekdrummer13]

how long have you been playing? year wise?

[thx1227]

About 12 years.
