Oh that would be great. The last time I got to see them was in September of 2010 at the Woodlands Pavilion in Houston. It was an amazing concert. They made sure to play every song from the "Moving Pictures" album. As well as every hit from "2112" all the way to "Snakes and Arrows". RiP Neil🙏. But Alex, Neil, and Geddy have given a gift to the world that will live forever. Or at least as long as rock can carry it.

[@markoneal8880]

You know how many Rush concerts we had go to back in the 70s and 80s to learn The Professors works. Saw every tour since 2112. We didn’t have video showing us his what he was doing. Sure we could get most by ear but Neil did things with his style you had to see it up close. In those days we got front row behind the stage or lodge on the side to see him play. And we watched in amazement! We never took our eyes off of Neil like the other two weren’t there. No offense to the other two they are Legendary status on their own. But he knew we wanted more and when technology caught up he put it out there for the next generations to learn and love. I’ve been drumming 50 years and I want to thank you for carrying a torch so his art will live on. Well done and God bless you, Neil, Alex, Geddy and the millions of fans especially those that waited in the Forum parking lot or Long Beach arena or Irvine Meadows all night for the best seats possible. And even those that drove down to SD to watch both shows and then 4 more in L.A. We’d do it all again so we could go home and play for hours with our band mates. Pass on what you have learned. Cheers!

[@johncollins8980]

Amazing. Even with today's tech and close up's of neil- nailing him is still an extremely difficult art to copy..........more kudos Brooke.

[@Ethosraps]

I wish I looked that relaxed playing my drums 😭 nicely done

[@arnolddalby5552]

As a drummer who spent hours jamming in various bands in 1979 to 1983 there wasn't many drummers about at the time so Rush albums like Moving pictures were an inspiration. It's great to hear 21st century drummers playing Ian Peart drums. I saw Rush play at Queens Hall in Leeds along time ago in the ancient mists of time and they were brilliant live, energetic and full of passion. Your a wonderful drummer, really enjoyed Spirit of Radio and brought back many happy memories so God bless you.

[@jpress69]

@ Brooke C WOW. This is an insane cover. I have been playing drumming to Rush songs for 35 years and even I can not nail it like you did, and I am a very good drummer. Props to you!!

Brilliant! Not simply brilliant, but the complex nuance that calls to greatness. This is one of my favorite tunes, all time, by any band. But RUSH is not just any band. You are definitely a student of The Professor; our late, great Neil Peart. This was my pleasure to behold - your cover of an amazing human and his mind's gift to us, now through you.

[@MoisesSimana]

Wow!! Amazing. Super smooth. You make it seem effortless yet sound so powerful. My favorite song. One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity. Awesome.

[@krisiglehart3061]

Would love to see the members of RUSH do a reaction to this.

[@guillermo3564]

Your cover was awesome! I don't think anyone expects any less from you anymore. I was talking with my son (a drummer like his Dad) about you yesterday and your Tool covers when the Rush covers subject came up. I almost had to laugh when I got the notification. It was 38 years ago when I started playing this. Even added concert toms to my kit to be like Neil. You're just amazing , young lady. BTW, now that you've opened the floodgates, you may as well do 'Moving Pictures' start to finish for us. For me playing that album ended up more fun than playing '2112'. I can't wait for what's next!

[@guillermo3564]

I just looked at your stats and I'm totally blown away-how does it feel to have almost 16 million 300 thousand views in a little under 3 and a half years?! That is so far beyond impressive. It's mind boggling. I'm quite proud of you and I don't even know you!

Exactly. Neil Peart is pretty basic compared to many others out there that possess a talent way beyond that of neil peart. I'm a rush fan too, but anymore, I can't help but to admit that Neil Peart is probably one of the most overrated drummers that there has ever been.
