And finally, here's the third video for tonight, a classic from the album, Hemispheres. I'm having a lot of fun on this one, generating the bird sounds on my Roland electronic pads. ;) Enjoy!

You forgot the chimes! and they were right there! Only flaw

[Astrotama]

@jayniggy08 After the blocks? First, this is a bell tree, not chimes that you hear on the studio version. Then it is overdubbed on the album; Neil never plays it on the live version. I play the bell tree on the little pad next to my snare and I cannot reach it on time for that block part. I play a little bit later during the guitar part.

whatt do you have inside your bass drum?? nothing?? a pillow?

[Astrotama]

@bobbydinamita I used to play without any muffling at all. Now I have a small Evans damping pillow and some muffling on the batter head.

I see some electric drums behind you. Does the kit rotate?

[Astrotama]

@ladrums1000 No, I do! ;)

Where did you get all the xtra toms? See, I have a 5-piece Tama kit, and I want to play Rush stuff, but it's kinda hard to with only 3 toms...so it would be nice if you could tell me. Thanks

By the way, nice job!

[Mathemaetica]

Very well done Sir. You do an absolutely amazing job in your playing. Your passion for Rush's music, history and being - Neil's aspect of which in particular completely shines through in your particular style and contribution. I'm really digging your clips thus far and hope to keep up with you and see much more in the future from you =) 2 Thumbs up!

From one avid "Rushologist" to another - There are no regrets left behind in this Life we lead...only Vapor Trails!

@jayniggy08 WOW.. Where can I find your flawless version?? I dont see it anywhere!! It amazes me how people feel like they HAVE to find something WRONG with everything. He did a FANTASTIC job..Neil would be proud!

UNFREAKIN BELIEVABLE!!! :O

[bmckenzie69]

Wow. I have seen some good drum covers, but that was really impressive. You have a gift for certain.

[jayniggy08]

@Astrotama that is true! I never noticed that. I notice now that the chimes begin right as he hits the last block. Nice observation. Did great. Really wish I had a drum kit like that.
