  • I'm alive!!! After not playing for more than two months due to a back injury, I'm finally back behind the kit. Rusty but happy! So, here's to celebrate a remake of one of the most known Rush songs. Not perfect but at this point, I'm just glad to be able to play! Enjoy!

    I think Neal Peart would have been proud to hear this guy play his drum parts. What an amazing drummer. I'd like to see him with his own band playing original music. Awesome drummer!

      No, I could but rarely do that. For one simple reason: there is no "making it my own" with these songs. I do that as a tribute to Neil, not to myself. Who am I to mess up with his creations?

    I cannot believe he even plays the chime part just like Rush (Neil Peart) and what a cover -- I have seen his other videos also!! He makes me appreciate how difficult this is to play (being a drummer myself).

  • @Mozartistic1
    @Mozartistic1 5 лет назад +5

    Beautiful set of Starclassics in Neil arrangement and stellar performance. As a fellow drummer and NP lover I can see the passion in your face and the attention to detail. Seen Rush many times live and they would be proud, brother.

    @roji556 There is no shortcut I'm afraid. Practicing is important to develop good technique but listening to lots of music, understanding what is going on, and stay humble in your quest of becoming of better musician are all important as well. And don't worry, we all started by playing simple beats.... It will all come together with time and perseverance. Good luck!

    With my eyes shut u sound magnificent great to see you back behind your kit! I’ve had 7 on my lower back and one on my neck after my 7th back surgery with titanium rods was worried I’d never b able to play my kit again but all good now! Good luck with your back!
    Keep on rocking guy!
