Here's a special one for me... As a scientist and space geek, I absolutely loved that song when it came out. It's not very easy to play (at least for me) and I worked hard for that one. Not perfect but my heart is in it... Enjoy!

  • What?!? You tryin to play like Neal Peart with a single bass??? Just yankin your chain, that was excellent work. I always thought this track would have gotten alot more play time on radio if it had been a couple of minutes shorter.

  • Hehe. What many do not realize is that Neil has played double bass with Rush for 17 years (until Roll the Bones) and has been using one single bass drum with double pedal for 18 years now!

  • okay seriously your an astrophysisist?...or something?...u can afford a better camera..

  • The camera has nothing to do with this. At the time, it was not possible to upload higher resolution video to YouTube so the original version was compressed to death. The most recent stuff uses exactly the same setup.

  • Not bad! Just kidding that was incredibly awesome! Mighty playing!

  • Thanks!

  • awesome u the man

    play yyz

  • Wish I could add you into the Countdown cover I recorded recently - where I tried all the parts but drums...

  • i minimised the page for a minute and i thought i was listening to neil peart. this is awesome.

  • That settles it ,if Rush ever needs a replacement drummer you have my vote!!!

  • nicely done ! As a guitarist, I KNOW how much practice that must've taken!!!

  • @Astrotama Please explain for those of us who don't know jack squat about drumming, I've seen Rush several times, is drumming really as tiring as it looks? It seems superhuman that Neil could play drums to every song on an album like Signals in 1 show with Spirit of Radio, Red Barchetta, Temples of Syrinx, and an extended drum solo mixed in.

  • Not a bad song on Signals.

  • One of my favourite songs, and way to tap that kit! Didn't miss a beat. Excellent work!

  • Awesome job and beautifully played!!!

  • they actually played this on Endeavor yesterday!

    up on youtube

    awesome playing.

    umm yeah Rush has nothing to do with rock. rock and roll or anything of that nature.
