"The Camera Eye" by Rush

Here's a take on what is probably the most requested song for Rush to play live in the last 10 years. I cut it off at the seven minute mark because Youtube has limits on size and because basically the last three minutes is a retread of an earlier portion of the song.

You know, gotta hand it to you. Seen many hacks try to emulate "The Professor" You do a nice job with it.

@MrManydrums Thanks... I hope the time didn't drag too much for you on this one -).

[lonelypinay22]

well done...impressive, and very close. dont wave at your crashes when u have multiples, it looks indifferent, and lacking passion. I would give that a 9.5, very enjoyable to watch.

[Pauliewanna]

@lonelypinay22 Waving at the cymbals is not indifference, it is an attempt to stroke them with a glancing hit so that I don't break them. I find that this technique makes the cymbals last a lot longer.

trust me put head phones on....later in years you will need to get use to saying Huh....

@onefugowie I have sound cancelling, snugg fitting SHURE, in ear monitors in my ears turned down to a comfortable listening level. I'm 44, I've been drumming for almost 23 years and my hearing is fine. And when I play just the drums, I use full cans by Vic Firth which filter everything very nicely. I always protect my hearing. Thanks for raising the point though!

Very impressed! I can tell you are a big Neil Peart fan, to me probably the greatest drummer I have ever seen. I have seen RUSH seven times in my lifetime but let me tell ya I don't seem to get tired of watching you... Keep up the good works, I enjoy watching your enthusiasm. Thank You !

Simply awesome! Thanks so much for your posts! I love the drums Neil did on this song especially, and it makes me even more grateful I grabbed a six string instead of some sticks.
