Tom Sawyer - Rush | Drum Cover By Pascal Thielen

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Happy New Year! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3i8oHZvoNFsqpY The Recreation will be out this thursday, January 4th! If you want to know how we tuned the drums, which drumheads and microphones we used and what we found out about Neil Pearts drum kits, make sure to check this video out.

That reverb on the snare… 🤤🤤

[@dardolanda]

Hello! I'm agree, that sound is magnificent. And for that observation, please let me ask you a question: What is that effect cymbal which is above the ride cymbal? here → 05:50 Thank you very much !

[@adam872]

Yeah that snare sound was on point

[@drumscovertercermundista8246]

Pascal must be one of the best current drummers, the precision with which he makes these covers is impressive.

[@peintredelalumierenicolebe2161]

allez voir "la steppe sibérienne " et vous comprendrez ce qu'est un grand batteur ! sa batterie n'est pas bien accordée ses peaux ne sont pas assez tendu ! et la réverb sur la caisse claire est bcp trop longue ,et présente , allez voir stepperiano sibériano ! ! ! regardez plusieurs morceaux ils fait des covers de chansons très connues et en plus il y rajoute sa touche personnel j'ai découvert ce batteur cette année ,et bcp de grands batteurs qui ont vues ses videos ont tous été bluffé par sa maitrise de l'instrument , c'est le meilleurs batteur au monde en 2023 .Pascal est bon , mais je dirais moyen et sans charisme ,mais il faut de tout pour faire un monde. LAURENT /ANTIBES /FRANCE

[@neighborbruce]

He's really good but there were a few errors in the drum solo section. That's being super knit picky though, he did like 98% of it perfectly. But as musicians, we strive for that 100%.

[@drumscovertercermundista8246]

@@peintredelalumierenicolebe2161 I also know the Siberian Steppe, it is undeniable that he has an impressive ability to play, but he always adds his touch, what I like about Pascal is how he manages to replicate the original smile with the maximum possible precision

[@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

He's opening the hi hat too much during the intro.

[@neighborbruce]

@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST do you mean he's opening it too many times? Or that overall he's holding the hi hat too loose?

[@smackie001]

The Professor would have been proud of this. Absolutely nailed every aspect.

[@marcpalma370]

Not only do you seem to play EVERYTHING, I am amazed at how you adapt to the original drummers setup. Having things placed in different spots/angles on each cover seems really difficult, and mad respect to you!

[@patrickstaak501]

You absolutely nailed it, amazing work, great sound, clean playing!

[@deeptanktank9212]

Probably the best TS cover I've ever seen - awesome job. Having said that, Neil owns this song and no one seems to be able to play it like him.

[@tonyboehlick9996]

Ich will nicht wissen wie lange pascal zum üben gebraucht hat. Einer der schwierigsten und zugleich genialsten Songs am schlagzeug auf der welt❤

[@gruvdrums]

Great cover of a timeless song. RIP Neil Peart. You have all the parts nailed. The hi-hat pushes could have been a little crunchier, which could be just bringing that channel up in the mix. Just a tiny little detail. But the tone of the cymbals and the toms are amazingly spot on.

[@billmint8122]

man is playing with the bead of the stick constantly lol, never heard of using the shoulder so of course his hihat chokes are weak

[@mkalamaras]

Absolutely phenomenal cover of one of my favorite songs for drums. I'm currently learning it, and even though I"m nowhere near your skill level (which is mesmerizing), just watching you play is incredibly inspiring!

[@kanenomoja]

Wow! Neil is widely quoted as saying that Tom Sawyer is one of his most challenging drum parts and that he rarely got it “right.” Such a perfectionist - RIP!! Great job!! The drum sound is near perfect and the mix is excellent, too. Just wow!!

[@nathannicholson6923]

Pascal is the man! The Tool drum exhibition was incredible as well, amazing contributions!!

[@Dywrektor]

That was a nearly perfect cover. Neil was always very technically skilled with his drum patterns, so it is no easy feat for many. Great work!

[@Anatidaephobe]

Aside from the awesomely talented drumming, the extra icing on the cake is how close the drum sound is to the original, IMHO. The toms tuning, snare tone, and even cymbals seem pretty close to the original (without doing an isolated side by side). This, to me, is the most accurate drum cover I’ve heard of this deceptively difficult song. I would imagine a lot of time went into reconstructing the sound for accuracy, which is an impressive feat by itself, bravo!

[@PneumaticTube]

So solid. Cymbals and toms sound great.

[@Redcell6A]

I am self-taught, never had a lesson, can't read music (yet). This song is my white whale. Helluva job. The hand speed is awesome.

[@VMXGroove]

Nailed it. Nice work man. Very nicely done.

[@Crumpet_Central_]

You guys did it at last!!!!

[@michaeldoukas4444]

Freaking on Point. Awesome

[@geovanepinheiro5495]

Esse lance de mostrar a música somente com o som da ateria ficou sensacional, parabéns pela iniciativa, a bateria é maravilhosa, o baterista toca muito.

[@joseruiz9781]

The sound!!!!!!!!! It's like listening to the record

[@geetarzan69]

Great job, awesome drum cover

[@AvStevieStevenJamesDrums]

Pascal, you nailed it. Sound & Song, bravo 🙌🏻

[@normanhenderson9290]

Love to see these kids learning to play real instruments and use my generation as inspiration… very nice playing, keep it up…

[@rwfrench66GenX]

This is a very difficult song to play even for The Professor because it has to be played hard and fast to be played correctly. Having the correct kit and tuning is another dimension. It took a lot of hard work to get to this level and the video editing was awesome!

[@petertromp8786]

You very much nailed it here. Neil Peart played extremely hard and intensely, and that was part of his tone signature and the resonance he brought out of the kit. (He said during the Snakes & Arrows recording sessions that he has to play the kit as hard as he physically can to actually nail down his sound.) He never played the same setup from record to record, always changing up parts here and there to give every record its own drum sound (for the record, my favourite sound of his is from Signals - just a brutal, but beautifully musical snare and kit), but the one thing that was always the same is the intensity with which he attacked his kit to get his sound across.

[@rwfrench66GenX]

@@petertromp8786 so true! His kits in the 70’s were so elaborate with gongs, 6 octave cowbells, pipes, chimes, and so much more! That was back during the days of the home Hi-Fi when people dropped thousands on speakers and audio equipment to hear the subtle nuances in the recordings! I have AirPods Pro Max headphones and they use some kind of phantom channel to create a 3D sound in modern music but it subtracts from the recordings of the 60’s - 80’s!

[@petertromp8786]

@@rwfrench66GenX Thanks for the reply. So you're saying audiophilia was mainstream in the 1970s? Wild man. Now people listen to brickwalled MP3's on their 100s of dollars headphones. It doesn't surprise me that you're not getting the full benefit of those 60s-80s recordings. After all, it was just music - good music, excellently recorded, mixed and mastered - and that used to be enough.

[@thejmac69]

Here’s why this is great: - you get the cover with the track and isolated - he plays it with such ease and low effort. This is great for enjoyment and just practicing. Goal for me: play this as accurately and effortlessly as I once did and he does.

[@frankdelgado4473]

This one is probably the Best Tom Sawyer drum cover that i have seen, and i have seen many

[@williamboyle8918]

Love those high toms on the left ! Great job ! Sounds killer

[@RobFarrell17]

One of the best covers I have had the pleasure to listen to in a long time. Your body is relaxed and let your hands do the work. Not pounding the drums and cymbals with all your might. Well done and best of luck!

[@caioprado2668]

Great Performance!

[@caryd67]

I have to admit, and I apologize in advance, the first few bars I truly thought it was the original track with Neil playing. Then I heard a tiny difference in the ride cymbal, and then I heard your toms and that’s when I realized this is a fantastic rendition played by a dedicated and talented drummer. So well played, it fooled a Peart fan who heard this song for the first time when it was released in 1981. Bravo 👏🏻

[@craigjust2401]

He makes it look easy

[@michaelbonanno7476]

[@adam872]

Great performance. My on,y wish would be to get more of the hats and ride in the mix, because they are so fundamental to the song.

[@a.s.henderson483]

Great playing…damn near perfect-note for note. Great recording and set-up…sounds as true to the original as I’ve ever heard. Keep up the great work! Love it when I’m notified of a new post from you folks. Greetings from outside Boston, USA.

Need a louder mic on your high-hat on this song Pascal! You can barely hear it going off on the open high-hat,and the high-hat "hits" in this tune,are Crucial!!! Great cover!!! : >)

[@mk3driftmotion]

His timing is incredible. VERY impressive!

[@The_KlaVra]

MAN THAT WAS SICK! Neil Peart is not easy but you NEILed it. 10/10

[@RigoStar]

More like 8/10, there are few things that were a bit different.

[@The_KlaVra]

@@RigoStar for my eyes it was as perfect as you can do it, only Neil Peart could absolutely note for note play it

[@RigoStar]

I've seen all of people playing the song note for note. Actually it's well known if you adventure in Rush territory you will probably need to play the parts exactly. However everyone has a different style that's for sure. What's good about this video, it's the sound. This channel is more about recreating the sound of the original drummer.@@The_KlaVra

[@GideonWaxman]

So damn good! Amazing finesse and nailed all the tones with the gear selection too.

[@skilopoulos1802]

Good job brother ! I think it's obvious you nailed it but the thing that got me is that not only you have choose the perfect sounds,you also set up the drums as close as possible to Neil's set up and you played it that way making the whole thing more difficult to you ! Congrats

[@Ian_P]

Well done. 👍

[@bbj7383]

Oh man the reverb on those drums... hahaha. Love the hats... so crisp and clean. Pascal you did an amazing job recreating Peart. I've practiced this song a thousand times and you showed me a few places that I've been missing some embellishments on the hats. I always got the first barks but didn't realize there was more subtle hat barks throughout the song. Also didn't realize that at 0:39 the bell isn't played throughout but is used for accenting within the ride pattern. Always feel the tension building at 2:00 cause I know its about time to start flying around the kit. You did an amazing job of keeping it tight, fluid and made it look effortless. The only caveat to recreating a Peart part is you didn't bring the thunder... but honestly who could hit as hard, with such precision, speed and control as Neil.

I’ve previously have suggested that they should do all four people who’ve played drums for Avenged Sevenfold, which Mike Portnoy is one of the four.

[@dark_side39]

It's a waste of time asking this channel to make a drum cover from Dream Theater. They only make drum covers of unknown songs. I hate them, even Radiohead, whose songs have good drum beats, like Where I End & You Begin or Weird Fishes, they are reluctant to make them 🙄

[@autofocus4556]

@@dark_side39 Weird Fishes isn't even worth a cover of. The drums are pretty basic and practically the same throughout the whole song.

[@lewismaclean8849]

First of all, great drum cover. Secondly I know that you’ve already done Lars Ulrich before, but I have always wanted to know how to make the drums sound like how they sounded on And Justice For All. If you can do that eventually, that would be great. Another one I would love to see you try alongside my previous suggestions for future videos is Alex Bent, the current drummer from Trivium. Keep up the great work all round and merry Christmas.

[@lewismaclean8849]

The way the crash cymbals are arranged is similar to how I want my to look. Quick question, what would be the easiest way to set up a main crash cymbal so it’s almost directly in front of you? The same way you have what looks like a 16 inch cymbal.
