Great job as usual Steve!!

Arnel singer for journey

Hey Steve! Jon H here, still working on the things from our lesson! Chicking Eighth notes on the hat are still so tough 😮‍💨 merry Christmas!

❤ Steve, you sound great!!🎉

awesome lesson man, Thank you , I love the way you play, just so much more musical and artistic approach than most drummers doing this stuff. I'm gonna be working on this one for a long time. I love that you were inspired by the marsalis album. Black codes was one of the most inspiring album for me, also with Tain. So good that dude. gonna go back and listen standards volume one

My teacher

I don't think there is a Rock or Prog drummer alive who cannot admit to being influenced in even some small way by the "Professor". Thank you Neil for your massive contribution to the world of music and literature. RIP Sir!

Coming up to a year on this, you should do another one!

This breakdown is so good man

If there was ever a human drum machine, it was Neil Peart. Practiced like a maniac to sound exactly the same way every time for each song. Quite the memory of beats for certain.

Just watched this for the first time. What a lovely and fitting tribute to an iconic musician. Thankyou for making this

Wow!

Nice way to transition between dotted and triplets to the beat!

"i'm pretty rusty!" i hope one day to be that bad .lol

Hi Steve. Love your stuff! Would you mind sharing what you’re using as a metronome?

bloody hell Steve -incredible !!!

YEAH!!! Fantastic playing!

I hear no rust.... just amazing playing Steve!

Seeing the triangle meant you were going to hear the intro to hemispheres. That ting.

Missed the live stream.😑 What are you playing at around 14:11? Have tried, but can't figure it out. Any hints would be highly appreciated!

I had to stop for crying. I'll come back to it later. I'm 61.

I find myself thinking of this video a lot during Steve Holmes live streams. Viewers often ask questions about traditional grip, or about a particular groove, or some other small-picture thing. But I feel like what many of those guys really need is a clinic on HOW TO PLAY JAZZ DRUMS. They just don't know it. This video offers some practical, concrete tips, but it also teaches us to think about how the drums relate to other instruments in a jazz context. For me, any intermediate or advanced drummer who watches Steve's streams on Sundays would do well to earmark this video and circle back to it from time to time. So much mileage here.

The second song in Presto is called Chain Lightning

nice inspiring too

The glasses ship got me

Duuuuuuude... Seeing Weckl, Gadd and of course Colaiuta in your phrasing. I'm gonna shed tonight after the toddler goes down, I'm that inspired

Somehow the first time I've seen someone play kit with a traditional grip

Brother is on fire 🔥

Nicely done! ❤

Nice!!!!

Steve, a quick question....were you in London last week??

I love Neil’s setup in the 1970’s. He has a timpani, a gong, tubular bells, mark trees, wind chimes, concert Toms, glockenspiel, Crotales, a cowbell tree, triangles, woodblocks, bell tree, etc. he inspired me to have a percussive setup. I wanted get more percussion instruments because of Neil. And play well like him. He’s one of my inspirations. Thank you Neil!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

New drummer here but I’ve been a musician for over 30 years as a bassist great content but not sure I’ll ever incorporate traditional grip it does t feel natural to me

Not only was Neil a gifted drummer but was the Shakespeare of our time!

Your time management is insane

My drummer husband passed away at 59 yrs old. Our last song listening together = Closer To The Heart 💜 Now I’m listening to The Garden 🪴 miss him and his drumming

Drummer Lyricist Writer and Genius who cares if he was shy! Shy is kinda sexy❤️💜

What a monster!!!

Steve, bummed I missed the live version, as I have so many questions!! Like you once said in one of your videos, the Internet needs more drum video instruction, lol; there are a ton of drummers offering tips and such, but I only follow three and you’re one of them for what it’s worth, and I’ve learned quite a bit of phrasing based on what you’ve taught, so I’m grateful that you’re around here; my question today though is what technique do you use for the right foot based on to get a quick Double?? Slide, heel toe, swivel? I eat a fecal sandwich with this challenge, especially with gigs, requiring it in various songs, I could probably get away with faking it or just omitting it, but I feel that it’s necessary and wanted to get your take

Steve. Can you play Rosanna one day? Full track? Then a lesson on it? Thanks man

Rush made me make sense. I was that weird book worm kid who was into stuff that was beyond my age group. Then I found Rush and it inspired me to learn. My destvfriend was NOT a fan of Rush (no hard feelings😂) but she watched the documentary with me in the theater and finally understood everything about me and the rest of the fans there.😅😅😅

Missed the stream. 😮

Appreciate your insights Steve, thanks for your time!

Great stuff but a bit like drinking from a fire hose!

Totally over thought this whole thing!!! I seen you do it at the start and I'm like no way...then you broke it down and I'm like "I can actually do this!" Just gotta keep it cool and calm then slowly speed it up as I become more comfortable with it all. This is insane!!! Thankyou!!
