Do you have to have superior drummer 3 to use these samples? Or can you use it in any daw?

[@barneyrubble8255]

How come you make sample packs only out of a few of your drum creations?

[@andrewpappas9311]

Neil is considered one of the absolute GOATs for a reason, man, his playing always fit the songs perfectly and plus he was a hell of a songwriter as well. Definitely one reason why I’m also happy to be Canadian (specifically Toronto) and Rush is still one of my favourite bands, RIP Neil and thanks for everything as well as continuing to influence countless other drummers across generations

[@sticktrik]

Not so much of a songwriter!! More of a lyricist!!!

[@Drewp06]

Rush is the only reason to be proud of Canada.

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@sticktrik True, but composing is equally as important when it comes to songwriting as well so I’m mainly saying that he was good at a bit of everything

[@kirktheweatherman1622]

He’s the man, the myth, the legend, the story of all air drummers May his soul R.I.P

[@CD-ry4wg]

@@Drewp06 there are plenty of reasons to be proud of Canada

[@grimdrum2396]

I'm a Rush fan, my whole life, and I enjoyed this video very much. At 68 years old, I am so pleased to see the legacy of Neil live on! Thank you.

[@mjcarrasquillo]

The snare tone in the first few moments of the counterparts album, phenomenal!!!

[@bankruptfilly]

I always thought counterparts sounded better than moving pictures, but moving pictures had better tracks. Both great albums

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

Neil would be proud!

[@BadRonald1]

Actually no he wouldn't . Stop saying that

[@englishmanpipesmoker3425]

​@BadRonald1 why?

[@alexanderzadoroznyj]

@@BadRonald1Oh? Care to explain?

[@ThomasMetal75]

​@alexanderzadoroznyj Not a big Rush fan? Ok, I'll explain then. Neil wasn't ever a huge fan of the limelight and stardom one bit. He wasn't a nasty person at all. Not one bit, but he never enjoyed meeting fans or doing meet and greets. He never pretented " a stranger was a long awaited friend ".

[@alexanderzadoroznyj]

@@ThomasMetal75 I’m not such a huge fan that I’ve dug into their backgrounds or personalities so thanks for that info.

[@groovewithpassiondrumlesso2348]

You guys went all out to pay tribute to a Drumming Icon. Neil Peart’s influence will always be present. I’m proud of you all for putting this together. Great job by everyone. AOD ROCKS!!!

[@josemaravilla1871]

As a music teacher that I am for so many years already, I just have something to say about Neil Peart , he was , is and will always be The best of the best and also the greatest drummer of all times, period cabrones , órale ,RUSH 4 ever and ever 🎼🥁🎵🥁🎼🥁🎵🥁🙌🤘🏻🙌🤘🏻‼️

[@willymccabe6602]

Absolutely outstanding. That may be one of the best Rush drum covers I have ever heard. Mr Peart would be smiling.

[@Spagz]

Neil described what it was like to play like that as "running a marathon while doing math equations". (paraphrasing) Great job on the sound reproduction and phenomenal playing by Pascal as always.

[@irrsinnrainer]

Rush to me is the pinnacle of a power trio. Three outstanding musicians on their instrument(s) creating magic together.

[@adrianbiankin]

Neil used Evans heavy duty heads on the batter and hydraulics on the resos on the “closed toms” and CS dots on the concert toms. He didn’t use cs dots on every tom in the 70s and 80s. Also, he did use Zildjian A cymbals, with a Zilco 22” ride (lighter than a ping)

[@C_475]

that stack to replace what was probably just a 6" splash in neils kit is so funny and extra I love it

[@JamesRoneyMusic]

Great job! After 41 years, I finally sold my monster 24 piece cage studio drumset. Retired from the music industry and down sizing to small home, forced me to sell it. Now I lean on electronic drums and pro sample drum libraries which actually do an awesome job. Cheers.

[@chrisw9854]

Fantastic. So much effort for such little time playing but hugely appreciated. Haven't heard Fly by Night for a long time - such a great track, very musical.

[@kaibergsohn2417]

This video had as many movements, and section, and as much information as a Rush song! Bravo, my guys!! This is my favorite video you've done yet! 10 out of 10 rating on the gaffer tape dot on the 8" Ambassador, y'all are geniuses.

[@charlenemack7040]

Neil was my favorite. Rest in paradise Neil! 😊❤

[@kovalfetterer2218]

Neil Peart is and always will be one of the most legendary drummers ever

[@LIXOSonidoyDiscos]

Pascal has an amazing beat. I like so much the sound that you catch. Congrats!

[@mitzo4526]

nailed it. You really did the professor justice

[@mitzo4526]

my only nitpick is that Neil went through many drum companies, not just DW. but that's it, great video!

[@Rockin_Ross]

Finally!! Youse nailed it! Thank you for honoring Neil with this and we look forward to seeing what you do next.😎❤️

[@bigloaded8324]

Remo black dots are the coolest looking heads ever! And sound amazing too! Plus, love the classic Zildjian cymbals, same one’s that Neil used on those classic albums. 13” New Beat hi hats.

[@johnrush521]

I’m very proud of my last name.l bought 2112 at age 12 and never looked back.These days I’m retired driving around in my Red Barchetta. 😊 Neil was the man. Insane drum kit

[@minisurfbanana]

Watching this as i practice spider exercises on my guitar!!! Love peart n rush!!!

[@aristotle5698]

Awesome! My fav drummer of all time and it sounds just like him! Surprised you went all concert Tom’s and it still sounded like the record

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Great stuff. I'm a guitar player and I've been a fan of Rush since the '70s. Seen them too many times to remember. There were times in some of those shows in the 70s and early 80s when I thought I was watching a robot play drums. He was that crisp and perfect. The audiences were in AWE watching Neil play drums. I remember at one point my mouth was hanging open because I couldn't believe how incredibly perfect he was playing. It was mind-blowing. He was the world's first drum machine.

[@nathanielrobite3573]

I've been waiting for this...Thanks so much, guys... and especially Pascal!...Neil is my fave drummer.

[@thepojeto]

Amazing video! Accurate recreation and performing 😁

[@chrisbrown2998]

Great Job Pascal and all of You guys

[@jochenha43]

Interesting to see those kinds of "Live" recreations of such classical pieces! Great Job!!!

[@MrChristophersilva]

That was very good. Thanks for the precision and attention to detail. Good job!

Love this series! I'd love to see Gavin Harrison!

[@alexsharifi742]

Don't forget, with his Tama and Ludwig kits, he "Vibrafied" his drum shells. Essentially, the inner shells were coated with glass fiber reinforced resin. You can say it was a birch-fiberglass hybrid shell.

[@bruno.fusato]

Amazing! Wonderful! And Pascal plays perfectly the parts!

Dude, Pascal nailed it.

[@ahcubac]

Neil was very meticulous and highly disciplined. You guys honored him well in taking the time to painstakingly tune the drums. "An eternity later" would have made Neil smile. I'm an overly obsessed Rush fan for beyond 40 years. Great job and great playing!

I see Rush and obviously you've got my like..Thanks for sharing ! Nel✨

[@terrymargheim3112]

Rush! Teachers of life. All though Dream Theater carried the torch into progressive metal, it was Rush that made me the drummer I wanted to be. 1st listen was Caress of Steel. The Necromancer. Some older dude that always had the latest cool music put it on at a party when I was just 14 and I can't imagine not growing up through all the rest of the albums. Through all the tech sounds and recording industry that got better with their influence. Just amazing, I'm so proud of them I saw them 7 or 8 times. Not enough. I could go on and on but I'll stop... Tman!....

[@metalinyourhead3604]

Finally! I knew you guys could do it! 🎉

[@carlasker9285]

Very well done, bravo Pascal! Great playing and great info on the drum tuning, which a was a pet thing of Neil's. He was meticulous on that. This channel is great! I played in a Rush cover band for many years.

[@steadypace747]

Wow...Four years today. R.I.P. Neil, and thanks for everything. Especially the inspiration.

[@daldan12]

Been a rush fan since high school many years ago and always loved the percussions on all their songs Neil has always been and always will be one of the greatest drummers of all time. Really like the video, and the drumming was very good and looking forward to seeing more reenactments of other drummers.

[@francoisdallaire5424]

It's so entertaining and fun to watching this kind of video. ❤ I am mind blowing 🤯 to see someone able to drumming Rush songs. It's an amazing skill.

[@TOT3m1c]

Thanks for showing the complexity that went into the setup for the albums and concerts I've enjoyed. It would be interesting to see you take a single drum and show many (all?) of the options there are for making it sound differently.

[@kristenkamps8716]

Awesome. Can’t believe that anyone could recreate Neil’s drumming. Awesome

[@cam_stock2112]

Amazing playing! Did you consider ordering some Neil Peart signature sticks? I find that playing with oak changes the sound a little bit. Perhaps not enough to really notice on a mixed recording, but it definitely makes a noticeable difference in person.

Very interesting and a professional dissection of one of my favorite drummers and bands. Thank you. Larry- Lake Placid, NY

[@centralscrutinizer8571]

The sound is pretty close, especially for using all concert toms. Fly by Night was all double-headed toms. two 9x13s, a 10x14, and a 16x16. Moving pictures was 6, 8, 10, and 12 inch concert toms and 8x12, 9x13, 12x15, and 16x18 double-headed toms. All with fibreglass coating on the inside for a little extra bite. He was also using Zildjian cymbals during this era.

[@mjm5081]

Well done gentlemen. And nice playing! I personally prefer Neil's Ludwig kit(particularly from A Show of Hands). Those toms were far more open and were really allowed to sing! Happy New Year and Happy Drumming!!! 🙏 ❤ 🌹 Neil 🌹 ❤ 🙏

[@richardgonzalez2698]

Great job as always guys! Ginger Baker next?

[@owenandrew8108]

the snare tone is spot on! the only complaint i have is the toms. usually, only his highest 3 toms were concert toms, but this changed a lot through the years. generally though, i don’t think any *more* than the first 3 were open, and later on he eventually switched to closed heads on all the toms. that and the lack of splashes, but neither of these songs use one so that can pass.

[@harveyludlow9907]

Fantastic video! I am gutted though that Spirt of Radio isn’t included :(

[@bobbyjones2112]

You guys should do Carl Palmers drum set, that giant stainless steel hand engraved kit!

[@malcolmlarri8236]

very well done - whenever i see a drummer doing a rush cover its always the drum sound that disturbs me - Neils tight tuning allowed him to play busier but with clarity

[@MrStoutfool]

Fantastic performance! And the drums sounded bang on. Would love to see if you could recreate AVH's iconic drum sound, especially that snare sound! It is so unique, like nothing else.

[@Diesel0807]

He was an exciting drummer to watch live very hard hitter soo many iconic licks influenced millions

[@colinburroughs9871]

his physicality hitting the drum is why most covers aren't right- he was a large human who didn't have to work as hard to get a serious thump out of a strike- some of us have to really go hard to make that much noise

[@ScottRoth-ci6nw]

This guy should do the tour with Geddy and Alex

[@Canadanewsman]

Excellent job!

[@adam872]

That snare sounded absolutely bang on for the Moving Pictures tone.

[@badmonkey2222]

Moving Pictures Neil sttil was endorsed by Tama and used a 5 1/2 × 14 Slingerland "Artist" series snare with 3 ply shell & 8 lugs.
