@@lifeson8362 Ya I'm a huge Astro fan for his Rush covers. This guy is right up there with no doubt! I think he maybe a tad more polished than Astro tama
@5:23. I am trying to figure that out. After a 15 year hiatus, I USED to be able to play that but now at 57, I can't get that part and and it's a great part too. Practice, practice, practice!!! Great job on this BTW! My most favorite band of all time!!!
Just ran up on this again. In 40 years I've never seen/heard anyone do a better job sticking this. Until today I didn't realize the crown licks on "and" in the verse after the lead solo. Always thought it was the same as the more common Neal pattern used in this and other songs. Bravo! I mean for real.
Excellent job! Note for note awesomeness! 🤟🏻🤟🏻 Also, a really good job on drum sound, tuning, and mixing. Great video production, too! A fine tribute to the Professor! 👏🏻🙏
My favorite Rush song. You nailed it so well. I've heard a lot of drummers cover Neil, but you are the best so far Mike. If there's any drummer that I would like to see Alex and Geddy jam with it would be you hands down. But it's good enough to see you jamming with Tim and Billy who do the best Geddy and Alex I've ever heard also.
i have been a fan of rush since the 70s seen them then one of the greatest shows i've seen if the remaining members would continue, This is the drummer to be there RIP Neil miss you so much
Dude you are an amazing drummer! I've watched most of your vids and you're kind of a go-to over alot of other drum covers for me if I want to know "so that's what he did". Watched this video with my bottom jaw on the floor 🤣..not just RUSH but any other band just as amazing. 🥁🥁🥁
Mike, I appreciate the thousands of hours you’ve Invested into your percussion & Rudiments!, I’m 67 , started classically @ 8 yrs old. Great techniques Mike!,
Wow, that was really awesome!! EXCELLENT cover and aside from your impeccable drumming, what really stands out is that you took the time tuning your drums, cymbals, mic's and recording to sound exactly like Neil Peart's composition. You and Danial Devost are the ONLY two drummers to play this song to perfection. The Professor would be very proud of you!! If you don't mind my asking, what software are you recording with on your laptop or MacBook?
Hands down, the best NP covers I’ve ever seen. Each one is an homage.
Great cover, but check out AstroTama for RUSH drum covers. No one comes close 😎🤟
@@lifeson8362sterling Fuentes takes the cake

I play like this in my dreams. Mind blowing. Thank you!
Wow and thank you for paying tribute to the best Canadian band in history!
Another outstanding job Mike. You nailed Neil's part pretty much note for note. Props. 👏 Cool paradiddle shirt as well. 😎
Right at 3:45 is when the song hits it’s best part, for me. Such a great transition, a great final verse to the song, a great finale in general.
You nailed
this!! Drums sound awesome!
If Geddy and Alex ever decide to go on tour again i hope they pick this drummer.
He plays like NP to the TTTTTTT
Awsome
thats the best cover of this song i have seen and ive seen some good ones you nailed this.......great work my man
Great driving bro you hit every note for note and even added a few little pills and surprises yourself. Awesome job totally awesome. 👍🤘
I'm sorry I meant fills and surprise

Great job 👍🏻
Rush is one of the hardest groups to cover because of the timing changes and Peart being a genius, but you nail it every single time
Excellent job! Note for note awesomeness! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

A fine tribute to the Professor! 👏🏻🙏
