Rush - Jacob's Ladder from ESL, drum cover by The Paradiddler

http://theparadiddler.com My drum cover of one of my favorite Rush song's of all time, "Jacob's Ladder", the live version off of Exit... Stage Left. A few 'sync' issues here and there, but a pretty good job methinks! No, the video's not low quality - keep watching, trust me.

A full article at TheParadiddler.com explains the entire background on this cover, how I went about recording it, what decisions I had to make for the final cut, why I left some 'errors' in, etc. A learning experience for all! Check it out under the 'Videos' tab at the site.

Nice job man. Very tough song to play. You're a little too stiff with those sticks.

@MrTBBiggs Thanks for the kudos and reminder! I always have something to work on, but it's fun nonetheless. Thanks again!

Great song and well played! I must be an awesome feeling to be in the pocket with that song like so.

@seriago 'In the pocket'!  Thanks very much for that. That's something that for me is pretty difficult to pull off, so I very much appreciate it!

WooHoo! nice job, Omar.

@dncaruanadrum Yes, this track was MAJORLY tricky, frustratingly so. I'll give all the details when I write the supporting article at my site. Thanks!
