Mike Hetzel: "Limelight" - RUSH

[@Stevo_Drums]

I almost always find NP covers cringeworthy, but you did this justice. Love the drum tunings and cymbal choices. Nice job, Mike!

[@brenthartman502]

Impeccable, everytime I watch this it just gets better ...

[@terryroach6481]

The ease, confidence, clarity, precision, sound, and so much more are so spot on. These awesome top-notch talent level tributes befit the master who left us too soon. Among the most brilliant drum compositions in music history - played to perfection to render homage to The Great One! Thanks for sharing, keeping the spirit so alive, hope to see y'all live some day soon. And such a great lesson for total amateurs like me to see what I need to fix!

[@thejohnnydavidson]

I don't know how this doesn't have a million views!? Very well done... I was going to cover this but there's already a PERFECT version right here!

[@ammansyed]

[@craigwilliams501]

[@nechemia2011]

[@lenahanelectric]

Outstanding

[@jmsmooch]

Yep.

[@keithhardstaffe889]

Gifted

[@TheSteveo1374]

Rush should hire you to fill in for Neil.

[@hellishcrossfire1]

67 compassos diferente, a musica nenhum momento soa com som quebrado, essa musica é uma obra de arte, cover esta muito bom parabéns.

[@ncrider2000]

Mike, this is exceptional work. I can’t believe I’m just now seeing your vids! I am Jack’s musical envy! Your set is impeccable, everything is tuned perfectly! The only recommendation I can offer is a tighter or thinner snare to get that “pop!” Neil would get. But damn, I’m impressed. You’ve got some talent!!

[@DaxHamel]

Good 'effin job man! Thanks!

[@crk140]

Impressive!!!!

[@davidgpeterson]

Dude. Effortless. Bravo.

[@Volkhari]

Absolutely amazing cover. I just finished learning a fairly simplified version of this on a very standard kit so this makes me a bit jealous seeing this 🤣

[@warrengauthier4699]

I remember the first time I heard this song, it was like "wow is that really Alex Lifeson?" No doubt he can play guitar but that solo rates as his finest work.

[@chrisconniecalderone869]

Bravo!

[@nuorder1113]

Solid.

[@Vincent-zv8qw]

Unbelievable he did not miss one note. NEIL WOULD BE PROUD

[@mattnicholson8781]

Damn.

[@spikeofdeath95]

Neil would be very proud

[@plainjane5724]

Neil would be proud.

[@danlc95]

Incredible work, Mike. What sticks are you using here?

[@vaffangool9196]

Yeah i think i can play this too if i can just get me some of them sticks.

[@tracyanderson3518]

MH = Eligible.

[@rochaal]

What model of hi-hat is yours? Amazing sound!

[@mikehetzel]

Thanks! Paragon 14” hats with natural finish on this one.

[@jcdrums2798]
