[@wmfeagin]

As of this moment, there are 9 dislikes on this video. Really, who are these tasteless fools who don't like this?! Another excellent job, Chiara!

[@stevemack943]

My thoughts exactly!

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@philfyphil]

Best to ignore the trolls, they just like to see their little number appear.

[@cahyadigojekjkt5324]

Mantap....cute😁

[@eschdaddy]

They’re just trolls. Trolls with no taste.

[@teamelitediamonds6362]

The only people to dislike this is probably dorks who know this beautiful talented woman wouldn't a) be in their band or b) date them. This girl is excellent and clearly loves what she does.

[@tomrintjema2305]

An incredible performance as always Cotugno. Reproducing complex masterpieces is never an easy chore.

[@thomasnorthcastle4130]

You've done Neils memory well!!!

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much! ☺️🙏

[@vaffangool9196]

​@@ChiaraCotugnoDrums Thank you for showing the world how to do it on just four toms and a sensible selection of cymbals. I'm not learning much watching a kit that looks like the International Space Station when I can't even see their sticks through the forest of brass.

[@robertb2444]

You look like you're enjoying this almost as much as me! I love it!

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

It's true! Thanks a lot!! 😄😄😊😊

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much...I admire Neil Peart so much and always try to give him justice! ☺️

[@joacequeira9909]

A perfect rendition for a timeless Rush classic. ❤

[@SteveBolton-p5p]

Chiara - 3 years later, and I'm back to enjoy this again! You are so inspiring! It has been fascinating to watch you grow as a drummer. 🥁

[@AlienorchestraNetoslo]

nice drum performance, Chiara! Rush forever!

Absolutely amazing job, I’ve been playing for over 40 years and trust me … you’ve got “IT”..I’m sure you’re aware of that… God bless and thank you for keeping the legacy alive !!

Incredible 😀😀😀😀👏👏👏

[@luisportillo7607]

Your smile at 1:33 :D I smile too when I play that part, because it's so cool, it sounds great.

[@thomaszeun6605]

There are so many phenomenal musicians on this. This girl is so detail oriented and technically proficient it's scary.

[@sheelakarsten4679]

Great job CHIARA, Neil would be proud, all the best !!!

[@philt5782]

Wow! Just awesome! My favourite ever Rush song! Thank you!! Played perfectly!

[@JoseSalazar-dm8bc]

Bravo 👏 nicely done ! I visited Italy 🇮🇹 back in 2007. I also had the pleasure of stopping off in Naples. Beautiful Country and people.

[@Eugene-uh1xd]

Votre réglage des toms plutôt vers les graves est parfait pour mon écoute, c'est un vrai régal

[@mrkuramoto]

That's amazing!!!! Thank you very much for this cover. I'm 55 years old and have been following Rush since.... well, better not to say.... You have captured the spirit of Rush and expressed it... the best cover I've ever heard. Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!

[@denistaylor3502]

absolutely brilliant, you honoured the prof well....love your relaxed approach

[@ritchieblackmore4692]

GREAT job, Chiara! It´s allways a pleasure watch a girl who enjoys Rush, and, more than this, can PLAY this way!! The Professor is certainly smiling in some place at this time...

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much, you're very kind! 🙏🙏☺️☺️

[@dHolbach77]

There's sooo many more girls that like Rush than is recognized. I've met at least 30+ in my life, from high school on, and I'm an introvert who spends most of my free time happily away from others. My girlfriend of 18 years is a huge Rush fan; bigger than I in some ways. We have gone to every concert we could together!

[@jonagib8827]

Now youre talking....... loveeeeeee it 👊💪👌👍

[@scottlee9428]

Being one of the worlds biggest RUSH fans, I have to say that you did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job covering Limelight! I have seen RUSH 14 times in concert, and listened to this song (and played on my own kit) more times than I can count. I know every single note. Every single drum beat. Chiara . . . YOU NAILED IT!! Thank you! Neil would be proud.

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much! You were lucky to have the opportunity to see them live!!😊😊☺️☺️

[@jeffwilson7768]

Another amazing cover which neil would be proud of ....watching from Canada ....

[@skagit58]

I do love a good Rush drum cover. I really love them when someone kills it! Thanks for always keeping classic rock alive! Neil would be smiling just like you are. 🤟🥰

[@scottshields113]

The drum goddess is at it again covering the professor. Great job

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much! ☺️🙏

You made Neil proud. 30 year Rush fan here love it

[@aarongroh8018]

Bravo 🥁👏 Great job 👌 For those who gave a thumbs down , I would to see you attempt a couple of the epic fills that she crushed dead on as well as every single cymbal 🎯 hit she nailed!

[@USOTPC]

Holy smokes. I am so impressed and the camera is placed so perfectly I can not only enjoy this but learn. That's heavy

[@cfpzona]

That was phenomenal. And the drums themselves sounds incredible.

[@scottgrimes1287]

I will say one thing about percussionists, they have a perfectionist about them. I "dated" one in college, and they are intense on getting it right. Kudos to Chiara. You go girl.

[@EdsonOliveira-nh7zy]

Fantastic performance , superb Chiara. 👏👏👏

[@jupiter7x7]

That’s what I’m talking about! Awesome!

Great job, Chiara. The solo section in 3/4 time was spot on. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers

Loved it and you're enjoying it too! Brilliant

[@arturozilli217]

Ascolto i Rush da oltre 30 anni e sono la mia all rime band. Orgoglioso che una batterista italiana suoni le parti di Neil Peart con tanta bravura e carattere!

[@giacomocassineri1604]

The Professor thumbs up for sure!

Neil was total class. Love it

Fantastica !!! Complimenti Chiara 💪🤗

[@XXXCRSPL]

OMG the Professor would be impressed!! Amazing Chiara 👏

[@Pesakar]

Bravo Chiara! I used to listen to Rush more than 40 years ago when I studied at university and I consider Neil Peart to be the greatest drummer in the history of rock and metal. Moving Pictures seems to be their best album and Limelight is my favorite song. Your cover is really amazing. Thank you for the great job !

[@slobodanivanovic7294]

I'm not a musician, I love music, I think you really try to play precisely, cleanly, with a lot of emotion and feeling. I like that with you. Bravo, bravo, bravo ...

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thanks so much! 🙏☺️

[@jeffgoodenough4686]

Unbelievable how good you are , rush drumming is no easy task .

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thank you so much! 🙏🙏☺️☺️

[@roytikkanen1065]

@@ChiaraCotugnoDrums thank you for your reply..at least my comments were read..i cannot wait for more covers from you...i must say..the cover of money..pink Floyd was great..funny..it may not seem difficult to the general public..burnt the timing of it from 4/4..to I think 7/8 beat ....then the off time to just wait to get it right as nick mason..in the Gilmour solo..yes so impressive..

[@careyt2666]

Your limelight was unbelievable I'm sitting here at this makes a guy not want to play drums anymore. I've been playing all my life I played in three led Zeppelin tribute bands well known ones touring national zep bands bonhams been my favorite drummer as well, you're fantastic unbelievable you're on the money you never miss the mark. Your timing is impeccable you're absolutely on the money every single time I can't find one thing wrong not that I'm looking for anything wrong with even if I look far into it it's unbelievable you're just a fantastic number just keep going okay rock and roll kiddo😬😬😬

[@menom7]

WOW............VERY EXCELLENT JOB on this Chiara!!! TRUE-STORY...........Just as I woke up this morning,I walked into the bathroom,and turned on my clock-radio just as I always do every morning,and THIS SONG was just starting to play,and as I sat there "air-drumming" along with it,I started to think "Man,this would be Awesome to watch Chiara do on KZbin!!! ".......but I figured you had probably already covered this one awhile back,and once I got on my computer here,in a "pop-up" message,it had said You had a new video,so I went right to it,and was AMAZED that you were doing this exact same song as I heard not even an hour ago! Haha,Thank-You so much! As always,Your cover is PERFECTO!!! :-)

[@Mistertwist.]

Bravo!!!!!
