Neil Peart himself played in this very room at the drum channel, and I think I was channeling him as this was the quickest I had ever shot a drum cover. RIP Neil Peart, you shall be missed! 🥁
Next on the Meytal menu: Stinkfist by Tool. If and when I can figure out what’s going on in the bridge that is 🤷🏻♀🥳🔥 see it first on meytalcohen.co...

RIP Neil Peart 🥁
can you please cover BLINDED! by As I Lay Dying!
He will sorely be missed...
RIP Neil! /salute and I think you did do some channeling ...nailed it my beauty queen!!
You did him proud with that!!
righteous tribute to the professor 🙏🥺
I will never understand how there are so many haters on the cover videos, especially when the players are not only great, but paying tribute to the legends they are covering. And a big smile to boot. Keep up the great work Meytal. ROCK ON!
"I will never understand how there are so many haters on the cover videos,...." Really!?!?! Come on, man.....anyone know the Internet is full of sad haters and trolls. BTW, I enjoyed this lady's drum video.
Great comment, well said !
Just another student of the professor neil peart
Anyone who keeps the music alive and relevant is fine by me.
Because they wish they were as good as her
I love how effortlessly she plays...so relaxed yet rocks it!
Says: "Almost perfect".??
That was BEYOND PERFECT by her. H○LY SH!T Amazing!!
Absolute Class👍👍👍
when you get 5000 takes, shit is easy
I knew a drummer once that played a flat set, Meytal loves it!
Even when Neil played it he looked like he was working hard.
One thing that anyone covering Neil's drumming must have...ENDURANCE! Definitely not simply keeping time with the drums. He made them their own voice in the songs. She covered this one beautifully!
Imagine doing that every couple of nights for months at a time. That's why he is one of the best ever. She did a great job.
Endurance…Same can be said about Alan White, John Bonham, Carl Palmer, and many other phenomenal drummers with incredible stamina🔥
And she's pretty, definitely helps!
He was definitely the hardest hitter
So well put his drums and precision playing was an extension of his personality. Lots of praise for this performance.
I think 'The Professor' would be proud. Great cover.
Oh! Indeed!
👍👍👍👍
I believe he so would love watching and hearing Ms Meytal's homage
And I believe she would go bananas on his "erry day" kit setup ,imagining he would as well,stand and watch her fly, then pace off a duel ,pushing along til she exploded (from Glee)into a cloud of pink glitter pahpow ...
Meytal is pure talent.
Sometimes you got it!
There were drummers, then, there was Mr. Peart. Rest In Peace.
Meytal, You ROCKED IT!!!!!
yes She did RIP Mr. Peart.. You will be missed..
That was incredible. I played drums 40 plus years and would never be able to touch that. I'm surprised that she's not in a supergroup
Well.. lets not forget a guy named John Bonham and Dana Carey from Tool. Take nothing away from Master Peart, but these are 2 legit drummers you can say in the same breath as Mr. Peart.
Not really....overplay on a backing track (listen to cymbal in background...his not hers?)...missed fills...better than I could hope to do but not really close the professor...sorry...
there was Neil Peart, and then there was super beast drumming God Danny Carey :D
I’m 66 and started drumming at 8. The key to the beauty in this cover is the effortlessness of your talent. Ignore the complainers that get lost in the tuning of your kit or the differences in the engineered sound. As far as hand and pedal strikes are concerned, I’d bet the late, great Neil Peart had nights when he made far more errors (vs the studio recording) than I could discern. That was fantastic! You have quite a career ahead of you.
and she did it with a smaller kit, at least from the live version I saw done with the cameras all around Neil, he had lots to play with
Nice Comment. I agree, that was fantastic. No effort for her at all. Sooooo, could you have or ever have played this tune? Sincere question, btw. Cheers
@@69ozz69: Thank you for the reply! My talent was never at his/her level on a drum kit. I could probably play the rhythm parts without too much effort, but never developed the extreme speed to pull off some of the fills. Besides being an adequate drummer, I was a complete percussionist who spent some time in a symphony orchestra on the tympani and keyboard instruments. Cheers!
@@Primus54 Thanks, that makes sense. Wow, an orchestra, that is impressive.
I couldn't get through most of it - far too technical. I thought I was OK with the base pedal 'til I tried Bonham or Peart - yeah, can't do those. I guess I'm more of a Nick Mason type drummer, haha.
I think most great drummers are made after the fact, if ya know what I mean? Good chat. Cheers
@@69ozz69: I just rewatched the video. The amazing thing to me is that she holds the sticks in a very non-traditional match-grip way... at the very ends. Because her stick work on fast passages is mostly wrists, she is able to achieve volume through the increased leverage while getting the speed she needs. I was brought up as very much a traditionalist with the standard grip and never tried different stick positions other match-grip. I should have been more bold and open to trial and error! Thanks for the chat!
This is friggin' awesome!! ... I went to high school with both Geddy and Alex back in the mid 70's and I remember when the late great Neil Peart joined the band in 1974. Neil (aka "The Professor") became one of the greatest drummers of all-time, and you would make him proud with your take on this masterpiece. You nailed it to perfection! I never thought anyone but HIM could do those drum fills after the guitar solo, but you did. You also make it look so easy with your relaxed style. You are incredibly talented Meytal. 👍👍👍
When asked "Is Tom Sawyer hard to play" to Neil, He replied, "Tom Sawyer is hart to play Right". It's all in the details, This was Awesome!
Spot on... I just saw that same interview...
Wow. This is so true and concise.
Hard to spell right for some also
All the different signatures is what makes that song complex to master
Not to rain on anyone's parade but any accomplished drummer would tell you that Neal Peart was just an average good drummer. Good but not great. Sorry guys, true.
The smiling of that girl playing is priceless. Everything is on point. And she nail it too. Neil Peart has now pass the torch to the next Generation musician drummers.
What does smiling have to do with her drumming skills?!
@@sarcasticallyrearranged nothing but its just that she looks happy when playing the song and its nice, and why get annoyed
The tone of the toms on this recording is absolutely spectacular.
Really ?I found this tone (and the mix ) pretty terrible ,especially toms !
@@dimitriossin8435 okay bud, it's not like a super full tom sound while retaining attack isn't hard to do at all LMAO
what else would you expect from a DW kit???
@@dimitriossin8435 yeah im with you, as soon as she hit the snare you could tell something was wrong.
and I dont blame the kit at all, its the mixing, producing and the mic placement...DW rocks...this is how you mix and mic a DW kit...ruclips.net/video/wERiNjiue2c/видео.html
Meytal, I was a professional drummer and found Neil Peart the most difficult of all drummers to copy. You are absolutely fantastic and make it look so easy.
Neil once said in an interview that he could always tell if it was going to be a good night or a technically difficult night based on whether or not he made it through Tom Sawyer without too many mistakes.
Mistakes ..... from Neil ?
I don't think so.
@@jimiknowsbest5099 well. maybe Neil's definition of mistake is everyone else's "almost made a mistake".
paraphrasing "Tom sawyer is a hard song to perform and when I do it right I feel good"
The Greats are always their worst critics. Which is why they're great.
She nailed it and you know it!
You can't go wrong when we get to see your smile like that after every performance, Meytal... 😀😎
You're one of a kind..
R.I.P. Professor..
I’m not blown away because you did a good job. I’m blown away at the relaxed approach. Being in the pocket with an almost effortless, flowing sensibility is astonishing. Very nice. 🤘🏻
Needs more snap, too relaxed.. imo
For real. Well done
The Professor would be proud of you ..........great tribute .
I love how chill she is during fills, great technique.
You make it look so easy. My wife hates it when I play the drums to this song on my car steering wheel while driving.
Try it a big rig at 70mph....lmao.....I'm a great air drummer....lmao
Makes the drive more interesting.
😎
yeah, I hear the same from mine. Only I have a motorcycle.
Yea I hate it to cause you almost crash into my car cause you zone out cause the song is so good lol jk
Been playing and teaching drums for more years than I can count, HUGE Rush fan, I've seen 72 Rush concerts since 1975. This is the closest I've seen to a Sawyer cover yet. Nice job Meytal.
Hell yeah man. Rock on to everyone. Amazing cover and one incredible instrument.
Then you got a ton of experiment in music, sir. Respect for being a fan for such a long time.
oldy but a goody if you have not seen this guy.... he is in his teens now but has a very impressive play list at 5,6,7..... years old ruclips.net/video/MR_x_vrSZBM/видео.html
This video is three years old and i'm barely seeing this?! As a huge fan of Rush i can say you nailed it! Neil would have approved after the first few seconds of this! Well done young lady! You've earned my support easily! Stay blessed.
RUSH is my All Time Favorite Band! I have seen them live 14 times, in Wisconsin, Chicago and Glasgow Scotland. RIP Neil Peart!!!
Rush is great but Genesis is better
@@michaelkatz4675 Phil could never play the drums as good as Neil, probably why he became lead singer and hired a drummer to play his songs. just sayin :)
@@toddbuh that is not why he became the singer. I suggest you do some research. Phil is a better Drummer than Neil. Neil is too stiff. Ask Freddie Gruber
2:33-2:43 You got it! You know we were all drumming along with you, whether with out sticks or our hands drumming on our laps, gf's back, pillows, etc. The sound mixing was great on this as well. Thank you.
I miss Neil so much. Nobody has ever composed drum parts like he did. Not to mention he was a poet. Meytall you are amazing. All the best!
Massive respect to anyone that can cover a Neil Peart piece, especially this one that the professor himself found difficult, which is why he loved to play it because it was such a challenge. Definitely gets a sub from me. 😊
BY ACCIDENT I played this - without looking at the screen. I was thinking "damn Rush was gooood". Then I looked at the screen and found THIS drummer on the screen . Can't get higher praise than that!!
There is another one, even bettern than her. Here -
ruclips.net/video/nUhpUGee9wE/видео.html
seen poshi? I mean Plush?
Same thing will happen to you with this cover. ruclips.net/video/9_torOTK5qc/видео.html
In my opinion Meytal this is possibly your best cover! You did Mr Peart proud and all of us long time Rush fans! You are a phenomenal talent! Keep rocking young lady!
Excellent performance and a great tribute to Neil Peart Bravo
Soooo of all drum covers this is the one everyone watches for perfection. If you’re gonna do it, you got do it right. And you did it right. Like all of it. 👏
I just love how much fun she always looks like she is having.
hell yeah
A song that has always been a gauge of a drummer's skill. Very very well done 👍
Matches Neil Peart beat for beat and flashes a big, beautiful smile as she's doing it. Gotta love it.
She's smiling at her boyfriend (the camera guy)!
@@SuperfedzPal Looks like he might be making funny faces at her, lol
@@SuperfedzPal That lucky bastard...
There’s more to it than just playing all the notes which she does but what she’s missing is feel. And that’s a HUGE part that’s missing in her playing. She is a good drummer but she’s too angular and ridged.
@@apieceofdirt4681 I can kind of see your point, but getting the "feel" is bloody difficult when you're playing music that someone else wrote. As for being too ridged, have you ever really WATCHED Neil Peart play? Or Tommy Lee?
I have played this song since it came out - She gets every single beat right and keeps perfect time. Such feel and precision! And that gorgeous smile! Never gets old. Keep it up Meytal
When she says, "That was almost perfect" how much better could it have gone?!
Agreed. I'm 50. I've listened to that song approximately 47.4 million times. I'm also a guitar player that listens to every instrument, every beat. She absolutely nailed it. ZERO errors that I could detect. If someone wants to point one out, I'd be very happy to listen/watch again.
I think she might referencing that Neil is gone that she would have loved to do the vid as a duet.
@@Cultural_Supremacist you need to listen to it 50 million more times then lol
I might be wrong...again..i may be wrong..but...if you look at her face at exactly 4:05...the expression I see is one of 'oops'...thought I didn't hear anything off..i think...
Again, I might be wrong...
Her kicks were a tiny bit off at the solo/break.
One of the best drum driven songs . You hear the intro and you know it's Tom Sawyer
Rush is a drum driven band!!!
I’m sure Neil would have approved of this cover Meytal…very nicely done
That was not almost perfect. That was perfect. God Bless this talented young woman..She truly rocks❤
I was a senior in high school when this first came out....it was one of the most syncopated & challenging drum pieces I had ever attempted to learn...never "mastered it"...you make it look easy! But I did make it to; "he can nail it" level on the 'Hemispheres' album...the whole-thing. It was my greatest 'covers' triumph...took me 'forever'...was sooo proud. I'm sure Neil is smiling and happy about you and what you're doing here. Luv ya girl! Thank you for the re-do over. AWESOME!
Thanks for all that you do, you're such an inspiration ❤
The greatest SMILE in the world, covering the greatest drummer of all time! How can Friday night’s get any better?🥰
Freddy Spence I don’t know???? Maybe you can get your sorry ass off of the internet and actually enjoy life by doing something.......anything else.
Clyde The Bulldog the fact you have nothing more to worry about than what I’m doing is a reflection of how pitiful your life is! I love big mouths like you, I’ve seen them my whole life,and there’s only one way to deal with any of you, bullboy
Maybe it was raining and he just wanted to stay in that Friday and listen to songs on internet. 😉
I love watching her drum!! She makes it look like so much fun and always has that sweet smile. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
2:31 The fill we all came for
Yep! So awesome. She's great. I think in her version uploaded ten years ago she trimmed the song down and skipped that part.
Well done
Lol. Exactly right.
not loving the tuning of the toms. she nailed the fill though.
@@yourbuddykevin Tuned to Neil's set. What's not to like about that?
After being so fortunate to see Rush play this several times, I must say I can close my eyes and listen to this and this is how it was. Perfect timing and beat. Awesome job and talent.
Oh man I have been waiting for this one! And was it ever worth the wait! WOW!!! Off the chain and taking it to a whole new level! Your smile as always, priceless! The Master would be proud!
She did Tom Sawyer years ago ruclips.net/video/rKFJbSzhovk/видео.html
@@kennyplay5982 Oh yeah, I saw it but I had a feeling since Neal Pearts passing that she would do it again in tribute and boy did she, WOW!
I always did love the drumming to this song and girl you nail it every time you play a cover. Any band would be proud to have you in their group. Kudos to you!!! RIP Neal. I'm sure he would be proud. I've never seen anyone take something this intricate and make it look so easy. WOW!!!!! And just look how proud she looks when she hits those difficult beats.
Thank you for everything ❤️♥️♥️ You made my day I little bit brighter with your amazing smile and awesome cover! Thank you!!
I play this song on the steering wheel all the time and have been doing so since 1985 when I earned my drivers license. I can’t even come close to this precision! You have some great talent Meytalll!
Lol! Same!! I’m a professional drummer with my steering wheel…🤣.
I must give credit to the performers who had studied and perfected their skills to show and hear them for all of US! BRAVA to these young women!! Thank you from me and from all of us who truly appreciate your skills! Keep on!
Thank You Very much for your Votes!
That kit sounds wonderful! It’s not just the kit tho, it’s her control, self-mixing and dynamics. Fabulous job!
The greatest drum parts ever composed have a kind of perfection of not dominating the song but still being dynamic, and elevating its emotion and its melody to the ultimate degree possible, and you captured that very well. Attention to the careful sounds of the cymbals is so important to playing this and you did it well. Hope to hear many more Rush pieces.
Well Neil never had that beautiful smile when he was playing😉 Well done.
Dude, I know. Soooo hot!
Can't stop watching this. She is so relaxed, having so much fun, makes it look so easy when we know it's not.
Even Neil said "it's really hard to play". She keeps the rhythm but only plays half the notes
I have the transcript, I'm in the process of learning it myself. She played what he played. @@JyB818
Technical, looks effortless,pure enjoyment on your face the whole time, an absolute pleasure to hear. Well done, lass.
Perfect dedication to the one and only Neil Peart...Absolutely Phenomenal.
RIP Neil Peart;
Thank you Meytall for taking over the sticks 👍👍
Music never dies.
Hello, Neil would be very proud of you. Such a great job on this song. She makes playing drums look easy and fun. Keep Rockin. !!!!!!
If they do a rush tribute concert in memory of Neil, they need to have you as the drummer!! So spot on and perfect! And you make it look so effortless! I love watching you play. It makes me jealous as a drummer how effortless you make everything look.
When we see it so clearly done like this, we can see how Neil's mind was working in constructing it to build in stages. Excellent.
Yes! Underrated comment.
Simply awesome. As a person who knew Mr. Peart (a little), he would have been amazed. Thank you for sharing your great talent.
Phenomenal job young lady!!!! Love watching you play this song time and time again! 💥
it's amazing that after years of being one of the best in the world at his craft which includes this song, Neil Peart became a jazz/big band drummer thru Freddie Gruber.......it's fitting that his return to finesse drumming is done in a form of a cover by you.
There's something about playing an instrument at this level, damn near perfection, that washes you over with a feeling I could only ever describe as pure ecstacy. When you play, I see it in your face every time. Don't stop chasing that high, you're so freaking awesome.
And btw, that song has my alltime favorite drum track. You nailed it!
Saudades do Neil Peart! Essa moça bate no tempo certo da música, incrível! Parabéns!
That was one of the best drum covers of this song . You are a beast on drums. I've followed your channel for a few years now and am amazed at your skill but this one you outdid yourself.
That wasn't "almost perfect". That WAS perfect. There are many covers of Tom Sawyer on RUclips but that is the best. Peerless and impeccable. Stunning. What a wonderful tribute to the Prof.👏
No it wasn't! The perfect play came from Neil Peart! Period. The Hi-Hat work made it to "almost perfect", because it wasn't accurate, should say precise, compared to the original.
Good, not perfect. That doesn't diminish her effort, but come on.
Nope,,not perfect! There 4 times in the entire song where she missed or did something that is not in the original song. Not to be a dick, but I have a great ear and in this case, good eyesight lol
I love the smiling you do while you play. Don't ever stop!
indeed!!!! stunning!
2:42 - coming out of the solo there - that snare sound is KILLER! Like a rifle shot. Love it. You nailed it girl!
Love watching This lady! Phenomenal drummer!
First time seeing her play, she NAILED this!! Killer....my favorite band of all time, no one will ever top "the Professor " in my book....
The combo rolls at 3:00 did it for me girl. Great job!
Right?!!! Holy crap.
Having grown up listening to Rush, namely focusing on this song, you knocked it out of the park. He would be proud. To any of you knocking it, RUclips has extra storage space, try and do better and post it. As for me, I'll appreciate this stellar effort. Thank you Meytal.
Yes, MEYTALL the queen of the drums is back, with her smile 👍
@Weigh Of Balance thank you
Queen? C'mon do your research better shes well marketed
WOW, there are a TON of Tom Sawyer covers out there but the effortless strokes, amazing sound quality and of course flawless execution brings this one straight to the top!!
Tears in my eyes...I Love how you honored Neil
Wow! I'll be honest, that made me tear up a bit. The Professor would be so proud of that, way to go!
Yep. She’s got it. RIP Neil. The best rock drummer that ever existed to this point.
sry but thats john bonham
Godamn shame...He a nice dude
I am a HUUUUUGE Rush fan.
This is possibly one of if not the best drum cover of this song I've ever watched.
Well done!
she isnt playing, like lip sinking
watch this little dude.... ruclips.net/video/JGWkSMMq8mM/видео.html
Nicely done! Not only did you nail it, but I think you would have made Neal Peart proud! Keep rocking it girl!🎸🤘🇺🇸
Neil was exceptional, but never did he look this good playing Tom Sawyer! Great job Meytal 🥰
Girl I saw them in concert 3 times and kid you nailed it! You are a rock star!!!
I used to play this song live when I was 15. I have three of them down cold. I have trouble figuring out the fill section again in my old age. I spent a lot of hours on this one back then. Before You Tube girl drummers didn't exist. It's good to see girls getting involved now.
That’s the most competent cover of Tom Sawyer I’ve heard yet.
Hands down, the best cover of this on drums I’ve heard. Awesome job. Pretty sure Neil would approve.
Been a Rush fan since '82, and Neil has been my favorite musician since then. Your rendition was perfect! Not almost perfect, PERFECT!
Fantastic playing and recording. Thanks so much!
RIP to an absolute weapon of a drummer ♥️♥️ great cover!
Wow. I’m not a drummer. I have listened to this song more times than I can count on very good equipment. She sounded perfect AND she made it look easy.
Meytal you are going places the sky is your limit!
Nailed it!!!
2:35 is what I came to watch and learn, stayed for the amazing cover. Thanks a million. This brings back some memories of listening to Rush in high school. Great job.
- a Canadian Rush Fan.
I think Mr. Neil Peart would've been tickled pink to see someone so dedicated and talented, absolutely nailing his song ....
Nice work 👌
Good Lord those Tom Toms sound like cannons!! Love your drum sound! That was a perfect performance! Fantastic job!!!
Girl what do you mean almost perfect that was NAILED perfectly I think Neil Peart himself would be proud. I absolutely am in love with your style of drumming. Keep doing what you're doing
Awesome cover! I know this whole record front to back top to bottom! First album I learned every song! This was spot on!!!!!
Neil used the word inspire many times in interviews. So I’m sure he felt complete inspiring people by picking up a set of sticks, and emulating him on top of it.
R.I.P Fellow Canuck.
Right up there with Neil. He'd be stoked to see this
I loved the freestyle at the end. You had me at the first video I ever saw of you playing tool. You are what I always liked to call a Drum Major.
I have learned a ton of skills on the drums from you in the last few years .
P.S. Keep smiling. That energy is the key to life and I have always felt happy to learn from you and to witness the joy that you get when the fill your playing is right on time. Love your style and your spirit.
Neil is smiling as he looks down on your playing. Very nice.
I'm a RUSH fan since the early 1970's. Neil grew into the most fantastic drummer in the world. Now it's her time ! 😊😊
Beautifully done Meytal❤️
That kick speed with your right foot is incredible! Great job!
Really. Unbelievable precision. I thought it was the original track at first 😮
That was beautiful. God gave you great talent, use it well. Blessings
I think this cover song should be a tribute to the late Neal Peart, I have been listening to them as a fan for 20 years, and you did that song SPOT on girl!!!👍👍👍
