The hemispheres tour 1979 was fantastic. That was the best concert from Rush that I saw. Moving pictures in 1981 came in second.

Thanks man! This was a fun one to cover.

Very good ..very, very good! There is not one other drummer on the planet that has inspired & influenced so many, like the master Neil Peart ; With that in mind it's fair to say that this is a commendable tribute to the genius of the master .. the one & only, 'The Professor' , Neil Peart! 👏👏👍

De poca madre... Eres el BEST cover de NEIL PEART..... Congrats from Spain and well done guy.. You are the "son" of the RUSH BAN TEACHER... 😎

Adam, there is a little detail that might help the flow for the main drive on the highhat (16th notes).. they are actually 16th note triplets with paradiddle accents on the highhat openings. It’s harder to play but helps with flow and eliminates the right hand time adjustments. Not criticizing, just one drummer to another..
