- La Villa Strangiato Drum cover was a HUGE challenge for me. This instrumental by Rush has so many time changes, breaks, dynamics, drum fills and even a little jazz it took me weeks to finally get it right. It's not perfect but it's pretty close.
This album really takes me back to my roots. Truly inspiring and magical. I played to this album everyday after school and then played this song at the 9th grade talent show. What memories. I wish I had I still had the super 8 film recordings of this.
Neil has so many nuances and flavors he brings to this album it is a blast to play. After a couple of takes I think I got it. I hope you like it. Enjoy!
Special thanks to my wife the cinematographer : )

Very good ..very, very good! There is not one other drummer on the planet that has inspired & influenced so many, like the master Neil Peart ; With that in mind it's fair to say that this is a commendable tribute to the genius of the master .. the one & only, 'The Professor' , Neil Peart! 👏👏👍
Spot on!!
Hell ya!!!!
The hemispheres tour 1979 was fantastic. That was the best concert from Rush that I saw. Moving pictures in 1981 came in second.
Absolutely mind blowing.
Mother of god that was impressive. And you even somehow found time to flair!
Thanks man!
This was a fun one to cover.
De poca madre... Eres el BEST cover de NEIL PEART..... Congrats from Spain and well done guy.. You are the "son" of the RUSH BAN TEACHER... 😎
Thank you so much!
Damn!
woo indeed! excellent!
Thanks Bob.
it's really amazing, I'm impressed. If I couldn't see, then I would think it's the Great Master himself. Greetings from Warsaw.
Thanks so much Marek. This was one of the hardest ones to cover.
Bravo! Bravo! Through all the years of watching and waiting, you are the only one that even comes close to the real deal. That shows your level of commitment and skill par excellence. Neil, RIP, is smiling, too, I bet.
Thanks so much. You’re too kind.
Dude! That was awesome. Neil would be proud 👍🏼
Thanks so much! You’re too kind.
99.99% close........Great !!!! In my opinion its one of the hardest piece to play. Like you said it has everything in it. Very nice !!!
Nice ride work. I also like your tom rhythm choices in the second half. And the stick spins between chokes. When I played it, I never made it through that song happy. Great job Adam!
Drummer to drummer, I like your set up. Your drum fills have good discipline and a character of your own style.
It's nice to see people our age still playing good music, nice cover, I enjoyed that.....
Thanks so much Kerry. This was a challenge to cover for sure but what fun.
Me again. You just nailed the toughest song ever wrote by Neil!! Your camera angles are great. I can really see what going on the kit as you play. I showed my wife your mammas boys videos and that you and I had been communicating. She smiled. If you ever come to Texas give me a look up.
Right on John!
Great job dude! Just like the master himself!
Thanks so much Rick. This was a tricky one to learn.
Rush fans are the best and dedicated.
Yes they are.
Great!
Great job again buddy. That little wooh at the end just ends it perfectly. This is a drumming workout and you nailed it
Thanks so much!
Nice job! La Villa was the gold standard of drumming when I was a kid.
Thank you! This was a HUGE challenge to learn and cover.
Pure excellence ! Must read Rush drumming technics !
Thanks Frank. This tune and A Camera Eye were the hardest to cover.
Another thoroughly enjoyable performance! Essence captured.
Thanks so much! This was one the harder ones to play. A fun challenge.
Great Job Adam! this is one of the hardest songs to play on drums
Thanks so much Marqus. This was a huge challenge to get even close to how Neil plays it.
Fuckin amazing. Peart is proud. 👍
Wow! Great drumming Adam! That's a very difficult song to play on the drums. Looked like you had fun playing it.
What a pleasure to watch and hear. Just fantastic
Thanks so much.
You nailed it once again main! absolutely perfect! keep on rocking!
Neil was a genius. Great job.
Holding my breath through the tricky part that starts 5:16, hoping that you won't stumble. You nailed it buddy. From a fellow drummer in Sweden who was also obsessed with learning this song in my youth.
Whew! I know right! This whole tune is tricky. A great challenge to learn.
OK, first of all, I'm on my sixth faze of Rush being my favorite band. Which leads into even seeing your videos. This pops up and I stopped to watch. My goodness, perfection, the twirls too, you show off. As stated earlier, Neil has a grin on his face. I'm sharing, magnificent ✨️
Thanks so much Harry!
Ótima execução, o timbre e mixagem também ficaram muito boas, bem próximos ao áudio original.
Thats some pretty fine playing sir! Well done and thanks for keepng him alive.
Thanks David. My pleasure. I have been having a blast covering all these Rush songs.
Nice! Neil would love this!
Thanks so much.
Once again, over the top awesome! So proud of you!
My favorite album and first tour. Poughkeepsie April, 3 1979.
This was my first tour seeing Rush too. Tour of the Hemispheres. Pat Travers opened. IT WAS MIND BLOWING EPIC! INCREDIBLE.
Love the chokes around the cymbals, nice touch!
Thanks!
Beautiful snare sound!
Adam... you CRUSHED it. Congrats. Beautiful work brother.
Thanks man! This was a huge challenge to cover.
@@adamjohnston2311you need to do some interviews and talk about your gift.
What a treat...the best LVS.
Thanks so much Richard.
I got a big smile on my face at around 5:51! Well done!
Right on! Thanks man!
Great digging job !!!! One of my favourite rush tunes ! You did it justice for sure
Thanks so much John! This tune was a fun challenge.
Adam great performance of a great Rush song! Thanks for inspiring my Saturday morning. Time to get out the sticks!
Hats off to you! Respect, i cant say that much these days with many driven by validation, outer attention, and need there ego fed.
WOW!! AMAZING!! Great job Adam!
Thank you! And thanks for subscribing.
I think that one thumbs down was just from the coffee shakes ...... I only heard one hihat strike out of place by a nanosecond ......... think I might have heard a jogging fart in the overheads during a drum roll ..... other than those two items, the almost atomic precision and the atomic fart this is a master piece.
Lol! Good one Stuart.
Job well done Sir!!! This has forever been my most FAVORITE RUSH TUNE they've ever done! Loved watching this one!!! : >)
WHOO is RIGHT man, HOLY COW! Ive been playing forever could never even come close. GREAT job.
Thanks so much.
That was AWESOME!!! Neil APPROVES!!!😊🙌
Thanks Tom. I really appreciate it. Rush is always fun to play.
Simply brilliant...........
Thank you!
Amazing 😮congrats😮
The best !
Thank you!
Awesome job. Played Alex my whole life growing up. Great band. Great song. Outstanding cover. Your kit sounds phenomenal btw. Looks great as well.
Total master!!
VERY VERY WELL DONE,HELL OF A WORKOUT A
Thanks so much! This tune was a huge work out. A fun challenge to say the least. Thanks for watching.
admirable sir
Well done! Loved your The Camera Eye as well. Playing anything Peart is incredibly challenging but you knocked it out of the park. I think you have honored his memory and he would have enjoyed it.
Thanks so much! This tune was a huge challenge to cover.
Im speechless! You rock!
WOW! Thanks so much. This tune kicked my butt for sure. Thanks again for watching.
Another great performance Adam!! Well done sir!!
Thanks so much and thanks for watching too. More fun stuff to come.
@@adamjohnston2311 I can't remember the last video of yours that I watched, but I remember the sound quality was great, same as this one. Looking forward to more, take care.
Such a complex piece. Defiantly one of the best songs in my catalogs. You did a superb job sir, and you had fun, it shows. 👍
Thanks so much! Super fun stuff to play.
Wow!! Great job Adam! Just remembering all the parts to this song is impressive and you played it perfectly as well.
Thanks so much Stephen. This and the Camera Eye were the hardest to learn and play close to what Neil did.
Really. The best cover of this song I've seen. I've even played with someone who had it almost this good. Just great!
Wow! That is too kind of you to say and thanks again for watching.
That was perfection Adam, I’m a big fan, would love to jam with someone like yourself!
Truly remarkable! Best I've seen as far as a drum cover! Soooooo good! Definitely worth a sub! 66carpenter
Thanks again! Glad your digging these videos. Cheers!
Great job, this is an extremely difficult Neil song to emulate, I know. It's drummers like yourself that " RUSH " needs to audition in order to keep the band alive... Great Job !!!
Copy cat lol! Rush needs to have no drum aditions, no one could ever replace neil peart! his presence, energy, drumming, there are many drummers that can play rush well, This guy did a great job.
Check out Professor Johnston drop into the pocket at 1:33
Alex and Ged - are you boys listening?
Canadian winters are dark cold and boring
You better pick him up before Maynard does
He’s got his landline phone right behind his stool ready for the call
The essentials in a time of essentialism:
killing the fill right at 3:51
Drumgasm 4:51 to 5:55
We may not need more cowbell, but can I get some more stick twirls around 6:30?
Congrats, dude this is very well done!
LOL! Thanks buddy!
Fantastic
Best chover ever
Thanks so much! You're too kind.
A worthy tribute. Nicely done! 🤘
Thanks for watching Scott.
You just nailed it!
Thanks so much Clay. This was one of the harder ones to play. No doubt.
Wow Adam, great job. I was that 9th grade boy too, except on the bass.
Thanks Kenneth! So cool you did the same thing in 9th grade only on the bass. Love that!
Great job my friend. Congratulations from Brasil.
Thank you so much.
Outstanding!!
Thanks Paul. This was a fun to play.
Nailed this too !!!
This was as hard as A Camera Eye.
Damn man, way to go
Thanks for watching.
Great job! That's the stuff!
Thanks so much!
He still has the land line phone. This man is persistent.
LOL!! Good eye!
Great job. This is very inspiring. Greetings from Brazil. 🤘
Hello Brazil! Thanks for watching Miguel.
@@adamjohnston2311 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Well done.
I’m going to have to really practice my guitar before I can play along with you but it’s going to be great when I do!!!
Fantastic subtitle. Great snare sound!
Thank you!
Espectacular el cover. Gracias
Wow! Great job Adam!!😎🤘
Bad ass drumming
Thanks so much Frederick!
And thanks for watching. Super fun tune to cover. Huge challenge for me.
really well done. very detailed...your first fill was a little late and then you settled in and just killed it. i closed my eyes a for a while and couldnt tell the difference
This is very good indeed!
Thanks Jan.
Fantastic job Adam!!
Thanks Gary. This was a difficult piece to say the least but really fun when it all came together.
Killer. Nice job.
Thank you!
\m/ :) \m/ Way to go! Nailed it!!
Nicely done my dude. Excellent cover.
Bro you knocked it out of the park because something this difficult should not look that easy to play. Looked like you had just a little bit of fun doing that one. Precision playing with tons of showmanship, that was awesome
Thanks Christopher! This was a huge challenge to pull off.
Excellent Bro
Rock On
Thanks Dean! Glad you liked it.
Sounds great! Keep it up! :)
Thank you! A fun and hard piece to play.
@@adamjohnston2311 Yeah, I can imaging that it's a lot of work to learn such a piece :)
Greatttt!
Damn brother that was dead on! Great drumming!
Thanks so much!
Would like to hear you do The fountain of lamenth off of caress of steel. That is really cool!
Well played!
theirs no replacement for Neil but if there ever was one YOUR IT!
WOW! That is a HUGE compliment. You are way too kind. Neil are Big shoes to fill. LOL!
@@adamjohnston2311 your channel popped up and I'm in awe, watched all of them, and would like to see more, sharing them with my friends!!!!!1
@@adamjohnston2311 used to like terry bozo when he was with zappa
@@adamjohnston2311 have you ever checked out GAMAZDA, HER PIANO SKILLS ARE ON PAR WITH YOUR DRUMMING!!!!!
Wow great job you 'ved done here Sir, superrr!!!
Thank you!
This is a very complicated one, just the intro with the crescendo required a lot of control... You nailed all the fills one after the other including that ride signature of his, nothing is missing, yep you are an outstanding drummer, pretty sure you put a smile on his face, congratulations well donne SIR
Thank you so much for your kind words. This tune took a while to learn. A lot of "AIR Drumming" in the car first. LOL!
Fk’n awesome !
Thanks Charlton. This was a huge challenge.
Just watched this, plus Camera Eye and Bad Reputation. Songs I know and love so well since I was a teen. I simply have no words for how stellar and out of this world your drumming level is. Especially this one - La Villa. I mean, the drumming complexity of this song - it's almost beyond human! Don't know how you do it. Am speechless. 😲
Wow! You’re too kind Andy. Thanks so much. It was a lot of work but super fun to re learn these songs again.
What is Geddy Lee doing playing Neil’s Drum set 😂. All jokes aside bravo!
Lol! I get that a lot lately. And thanks glad you liked it.
