It's a brave soul that takes on any Rush track, there are no two songs in which the drumming is similar to any other, The Professor would not allow himself that luxury. Well done, Brooke, your drums are tuned perfectly, there are way too many "drummers" that overlook that important detail, and your expertise shines on this one. Neil would give you one of his rare smiles on hearing you play. RIP Neil Elwood Peart.
The notion that the drum tracks on Rush songs are not similar is not accurate. The grove Peart played during the Keyboard solos in Subdivisions is exactly the same grove he plays in the interludes in The Spirit of the Radio. He also begins many tom runs with a triplet before running down the toms. He also does some off beat accents on cymbals while playing a groove where he hits a different part of the kit on the beat. In subdivisions, both of the pieces he engages are cymbals. In The spirit of the radio he does this in the hook playing the cymbal on the off beat and a floor tom on the beat. Don't get me wrong, I think he was a master at crafting drum parts and I'm a big fan of his work. I am in the process of learning 3 Rush songs off the transcriptions. That's how I know there are similarities. @@zwastiunburzy3688
What sets you apart from most others is you hit all the ghost notes on the snare. I don't think people know how many extra notes that Neil is hitting in most songs.
Excellent point. Peart was absolutely ridiculous. I feel as though he often put way too much into his writings and I also feel they were always just amazing in just about every way!!
Brilliant job Brooke. Subdivisions is a show of strength for many drummers, very intricate, played it myself many times- took me ages to pat down. Peart gone but never forgotten, the best for the discerning..........
The acoustics in that room, the drum tuning, the audio balance and EQ amongst all the percussion, and of course your playing, is absolute heaven to my ears.
So many copy Peart technically, you somehow managed to get his feel with the technical side. Very nice. I was going to listen for 10 sec max but I was immediately struck by the great pocket and feel you have. Bravo!
Brooke you are a very talented drummer! 🔥🥁🤘I've been following you for several years and it's always a great pleasure to see your precision in playing combined with fluency, complex pieces make them stand out in all their musical magic... you can see and hear every stroke you make in your skill. You Deserve a Great Group to Play! I wish you the best on the music scene, you deserve it! Thanks for the covers you always play for us! one of your European followers kindly🤘👍
Definitely not there were many missed notes and many extra notes and the ride pattern wasn’t in a 6/4. Not even hating at all. I just know every corner of this song
Sometimes drummers miss how important the hi-hat is in pretty much everything Neil ever played. I've listened to this song hundreds of times since it first came out, and many of those times only tuned in on the hi-hat and snare. I must say, you really did the hi-hat justice! "Pratt" would be proud. As for me, this was an impressive cover. Well done.
That was incredible! 😮 As a 60 year old who’s been a Rush fan from my mid teens, I’d given up hope of ever seeing a young person being able to play like this. I hope you’re in a band that allows you full use of your amazing talent.
@@mattdelany6799 are you serious? That baseless, unwarranted comment just told the internet that you're extremely insecure in your own playing, if you can even play at all, and that there is a very good chance that you are misogynistic. How about you go get a little fishing boat and find a lake to troll on?
Never can get enough of listening to you little sister! I say that because we’ve been watching you since you was a kid ! you are such a joy and such a sweet solid human being and very talented and you play drums beautifully, keep rocking little sister we got your back always💝
Excellent. Loved the tuning of the drums and how the whole kit was mixed. Fantastic performance as well. I expected to be impressed and I was not disappointed.
Many drummers who cover this look like they are struggling and you look so darn relaxed. I agree with many here who say your kit sounds great. Keep up the excellent work.
'The Professor ' would give you top marks on this performance Brooke. I usually only get to say this to guitarists, but your instrument has incredible tone! Incredible performance!😊
Another song from rush that is timeless, you done very well with it Brook, Neil Peart would give you a big thumbs up for execution playing he’s not an easy drummer in his technique very complexed and amazingly creative talent truly one of the all time great legendary drummers great job Brook and Rock On 🤘✌️
That was fantastic. Many people who cover The Professor may hit the all the notes but they don't have the sound. Brooke C hits the notes and with the power
I rarely ever comment on the internet. I have to say I have been watching your videos for a few years now and always wondered when you would top ‘The Pot’ by Tool…and this is by far your BEST! Neil Peart is the greatest percussionist that ever lived and I’m sure he’s smiling down at you. Perfection!
@timothymartin2137 At 56 now I know how that goes all too well. But Signals was my intro when my friend introduced me to Rush on his Alpine stereo Oct 82. But ask me where I set my car keys a hour ago. Don't know lol
Tight measure. Great feel. (Sensitivity). Great swing (groove). Buttery fills. Hi hat? Ride bell? Easy work. Your own spice here and there (intentionally). Yeah, bet this right up. If I were Mr. Peart, I'd literally be honored and smiling. Yup.
wow! been watching you for a few years now and I can say--that was more relaxed and played out like a pro than most could do, and that is saying something considering we are talking about arguably one of Neil's best records. great job!
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite Rush songs of all time. The professor's high hat work in this song is just incredible. And... Brooke you nailed it!
That's was pure joy watching you perform such an intricate and difficult work with relatively flawless and hardly breaking a sweat. You are certainly a talented young woman and I hope you succeed in all your future ventures.
Really well played, Brooke. Thank you for covering Rush, my favorite band, and thank you for covering Neil Peart, my favorite musician. Hope to see more from you. Best wishes
Brooke, I've been teaching and playing for more than 40 years. You are a joy to watch... precise technique and so very solid. There is nothing worse than watching a drummer who looks like they're afraid of breaking something and that drummer is not you. I can't wait to see you play 5 years from now.
I feck'n cried. True Story. It's so absolutely beautiful. It's one of my all-time favorite songs but there were complexities there that even after 30 years of listening to, that I had missed. That song is a shrine. You have recreated the divine. Rock Out, sister. Thank you!
IMPRESSARIO! I love the last 40 seconds of the song where Peart is playing rhythm behind the keyboards and then the dynamic switches where the keyboards keep the time and Peart leads. Well- imagined Brooke C
From one Drummer to another great job on nailing Subdivisions, definitely not one of the easier Rush songs to play, I wore out my vinyl copy of Subdivisions learning this track back in 1982 (yep I'm old), my cover band had an upcoming gig and this was one of the songs in our set list, challenging to say the least, and BTW love your take on utilizing Gravity Blasts on the snare, not professor approved LOL but he would be proud of you. Keep up the continued great drumming, and practice, practice, practice...
I played this video as I started gaming. It was so good, I forgot it was a cover! Had to listen again and concentrate this time!! You’re playing and drum tone is so good Brooke. Awesome! 🤘❤️🔥🥁
Great job Brooke! As a drummer and lifelong Neil Peart fan, I love seeing other drummers honor the Professor in this way. I also really like the color of your drums, they are beautiful :)
Wow ....Great playing ... Although I'm a guitar player, The Professor is one of my favorite musical minds of all time and I was fortunate enough ton have seen him live six times .... Very impressive indeed Brooke, keep up the great work ...
This has been my favorite Rush song from the moment it first hit the airwaves. So, I've listened to it many, many (many) times. Cannot tell the difference. You absolutely nailed it from start to finish.

Drums are tuned to perfection. Peart would be proud!
Indeed!
Not really.
@jumpinjojo and there it is, folks. Time for another booster shot, buddy.
@@rarefiedhermetic792Oh I apologize for disagreeing with you you. Hope I didn’t hurt your feelings. 🙄
So incredibly talented
IN the pocket; LOVE your nuances and attention to detail, note for note. Neil is smilin'. We ALL are......tremendous talent Brooke.
People will be studying this man forever. You’ve done a wonderful job.
I was thinking the same thing.
She's not a man and yes Neil Peart ................... HAHA
There's a glimpse of hope when the youth plays rush. Awesome work. Neil would appreciate your work. Rip Professor.
It's a brave soul that takes on any Rush track, there are no two songs in which the drumming is similar to any other, The Professor would not allow himself that luxury.

Well said. Can you tell, what tuning are the drums in? Thx!
@@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger Not exactly sure, but I do know that Brooke's kit is tuned to whatever tuning Neil used in this song.

I love the tone of your drums. It makes me feel hopeful that your generation will keep Rush in our hearts.
Exactly what I was thinking but you said it first lol.
Sweet Woody Snare🥰
Rush is going to go down in history as the Beethoven of progressive rock.
To be able to play this so perfectly and with only half of Neil's kit is a testament to Brooke's overwhelming talent. Awesome work!
Picking a technical genius like Neil Peart is a bold choice, nailed it 👌
Love the overhead view. It lets the watcher see all of your foot and hand work. Very nice job.
Agree with that! So cool!! Cheers!
The best cover I have ever watched so far... well done... The professor Neil Peart. . Rest in peace...
What sets you apart from most others is you hit all the ghost notes on the snare. I don't think people know how many extra notes that Neil is hitting in most songs.
They don’t, I know a couple guys that think they are rad but they only play half the song!
So damn true. Not sure if video is just better these days but I am not sure if NP was even hitting those as often.
She added things that were not there before
Absolutely 💯
4:28 holy crap
Never stop. This one takes us on a spiritual journey. Cheers.
I always consider a Rush song to be the best test of any drummer's talent. You NAILED that! Absolutely perfect. RIP Neil Peart.
Excellent point. Peart was absolutely ridiculous. I feel as though he often put way too much into his writings and I also feel they were always just amazing in just about every way!!
The best test? Really?!
Brilliant job Brooke. Subdivisions is a show of strength for many drummers, very intricate, played it myself many times- took me ages to pat down. Peart gone but never forgotten, the best for the discerning..........
Guitar player here. Subdivisions is my favorite Rush song, Neal would be so proud to see how well you can play.
I closed my eyes and listened.
Neil is that you?
Amazing.
The acoustics in that room, the drum tuning, the audio balance and EQ amongst all the percussion, and of course your playing, is absolute heaven to my ears.
Brooke, you have grown your skills as a drummer so much... What an awesome tribute to the Professor ... Neil Peart.... Love it!❤
So many copy Peart technically, you somehow managed to get his feel with the technical side. Very nice. I was going to listen for 10 sec max but I was immediately struck by the great pocket and feel you have. Bravo!
Great cover. It just shows us that you don't need a 20 piece drum kit to get the job done.
Niel would approve! Well done.
Brooke you are a very talented drummer! 🔥🥁🤘I've been following you for several years and it's always a great pleasure to see your precision in playing combined with fluency, complex pieces make them stand out in all their musical magic... you can see and hear every stroke you make in your skill. You Deserve a Great Group to Play! I wish you the best on the music scene, you deserve it! Thanks for the covers you always play for us! one of your European followers kindly🤘👍
Absolute PERFECTION! Mr. Peart would be so proud, the best Rush Subdivisions drum cover ever!
Definitely not there were many missed notes and many extra notes and the ride pattern wasn’t in a 6/4. Not even hating at all. I just know every corner of this song
@@streetworkoutnation6851Many "opinions" are biased for ooobvious reasons sadly...
Not even close
@@antonioecheverria2727 there’s no opinions here. She played it wrong in many ways and that’s a fact. Not biased

Best Neil Peart cover by far. Simply flawless.
One of my favorite songs of ALL time, not just Rush songs. Good job, Brooke C. I like how you changed things up a bit.
This is one of my favourite Rush songs, and that was spot on, timing, tone, everything! Awesome 😃
That was incredible! 😮 As a 60 year old who’s been a Rush fan from my mid teens, I’d given up hope of ever seeing a young person being able to play like this. I hope you’re in a band that allows you full use of your amazing talent.

Wow! The Professor would be proud. You nailed it kid🎉
I’m a 61 year old Rush fan. Just what you do with your right foot blows me away. So good. You make me happy
Thank you Brooke. Always a pleasure.
Most do not appreciate how difficult the technique on display is here. Nicely done young lady, thank you for sharing
Incredible drumming Brooke, Neal was my favorite drummer 🥁. He was an awesome drummer 🥁 and you did this cover spot on. 👍❤️
Not even close

I'm from Brazil, you play great, I loved your technique, for me it's the best there is here on RUclips

'The Professor ' would give you top marks on this performance Brooke. I usually only get to say this to guitarists, but your instrument has incredible tone! Incredible performance!😊
I've never seen anyone playing this song as faithfully to the original arrangement as you do, congratulations!
so happy to see kids / young adults playing music like this.
Brilliant drumming when I started playing drums in 1978 very few men played drums so it's great to see talented women playing excellent drums in 2024.
Great job -- one of my favs from Rush.
Nice to see the younger generation keeping up with the classics.
Keep rocking! Great song!! 😊
LOVE THOSE LEFT HAND DOUBLES! Fantastic work, and super relaxed clean playing.
Another song from rush that is timeless, you done very well with it Brook, Neil Peart would give you a big thumbs up for execution playing he’s not an easy drummer in his technique very complexed and amazingly creative talent truly one of the all time great legendary drummers great job Brook and Rock On 🤘✌️
It's such and exceptional song. Most Neil Peart songs are a challenge, but this is one is a particular hill to climb. Well done.
What do ya know? A modest, fully clothed woman playing great drums. Kudos!
Brooke you are incredible!!!
Neil peart would be so proud of you!
Fantastic job❤
One of my favorite songs by them! Right on. You've got a great sense of feel.
Amazing job. Love that you're palying Rush. You obviously know and appreciate the greatest drummer of all time\ and his contribution to the art.
Wow! Your fluidity and naturalness is mesmerizing. Great job young lady! Neil would definitely approve!
That was fantastic. Many people who cover The Professor may hit the all the notes but they don't have the sound. Brooke C hits the notes and with the power

I have always loved Neil’s use of cymbal domes, and Subdivisions is one of his best examples.
👍🏼 the technique was spot on. This song is in my top 10 all time favs of any rock song. Awesome!
You have self-elevated to a level not accessible to most of us. A Truly Outstanding Performance (ATOP). I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you!
Brooke you are the best female drummer I have ever seen. Keep up the good work. Love your style.
Girl you are awesome I loved it. What a wonderful job you’ve done, Neil perk would be proud of you.
Brooke that was so awesome! PEART IS MY FAVORITE DRUMMER OF ALL TIME AND YOU DID THAT SONG RIGHT!!
Even the ghost notes. At 14 1982 this was my anthem. Great job on this drum clinic of a masterpiece!
@timothymartin2137 At 56 now I know how that goes all too well. But Signals was my intro when my friend introduced me to Rush on his Alpine stereo Oct 82. But ask me where I set my car keys a hour ago. Don't know lol
So pure, so precise. Exquisite attention to detail, and effortlessly presented. Absolutely Brilliant!
Brooke, absolutely incredible! So grateful that you took the time to capture every single detail, Rush fans and the band themselves I’m sure are proud
Tight measure.
Great feel. (Sensitivity).
Great swing (groove).
Buttery fills.
Hi hat? Ride bell? Easy work.
Your own spice here and there (intentionally).

Beautiful angel? Why not great musician?

Holy crap am I ever glad I watched that!
Awesome!!!!!!
Well done. I am a huge Rush/ Neil Peart fan I have seen them several times. Neil would be super proud.
Fantastic!!! Brooke that is as amazing. Neil is smiling. Love the hair too; true rocker.
Love Rush, loved what I heard and saw .. perfection
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite Rush songs of all time. The professor's high hat work in this song is just incredible. And...
Brooke you nailed it!
Rush. One of Best rock band from the 70,80,etc. Haven't heard them ages. Brings back memories. 👏👏👽👍
That's was pure joy watching you perform such an intricate and difficult work with relatively flawless and hardly breaking a sweat. You are certainly a talented young woman and I hope you succeed in all your future ventures.
Big tune! You played it very well. RUSH is the greatest.
NAILED IT!! F**cking GREAT Job!! 💯❤ I love how you put in your on spin/signature on it. Just WOW!! 🙏
Really well played, Brooke. Thank you for covering Rush, my favorite band, and thank you for covering Neil Peart, my favorite musician. Hope to see more from you. Best wishes

Easily one of my top 3 favorite Rush tracks. Great job Brooke! Keep up the good work!
Sick playing! I've watched Neil play this song many times. You nailed it. I like how you played right into the ride groove. Great job, Brooke 👏
Every minute detail of what makes this song a percussive masterpiece beautifully captured. Outstanding. Subscribed!
