To hear kids rockin' out to Rush, and not the growling metalcore kids today call music, brings tears to my eyes. Mr. Teel - no one can be Neal, but you done a damn fine job - simply sublime!

Ethan convinced the Kansas City School of Rock to do a Rush show, that they were ready, and that they would work hard to pull it off. I was happy to be there to capture it ... especially since I had spent the previous week in the hospital and only got out that morning.

These guys have really set the standard for how you cover this song!!

One of the toughest songs Rush ever composed - it took them three separate takes to get this right for the album - Hemispheres....great drums, awesome slappin da bass and guitar work. Fantastic job eh!

Simply amazing

AMAZING Ive seen RUSH 10 times and loved them and this was a great job by these guys n girls

Extremely challenging piece to play. Kudos! Once you got into your groove, you lit it up. Congrats to you all.

Thank you. I am glad you left it in. These young artists have chops. Glad they pushed themselves to play this. If you don't push yourself, you will never know what you can accomplish. And nothing as satisfying as having played a great show.

That is the purpose of the School of Rock - to supply young musicians with not just the skills, but with a goal, a place to practice, experienced musicians to teach them, but also the opportunity to mentor younger players as well. I have over a thousand videos up here and have been doing this for nearly a decade, and have seen kids become confident, well-rounded musicians.

Rush has been one of my favorite rock bands for ever!! They have a unique sound that when you hear it you know immediately who it is!!! Along with Black Sabboth, ZZ Top, AC/DC, and Mettalica!!

Give you guys a lot of credit tackling this complex masterpiece...well done!!!

G Burns The drummer I looked at some of the other videos I had on my channel and saw other schools doing Rush, and made his case that they had reached the level where they could attempt this.

Great tune y'all nailed it superbly done, keep up the Rock N Roll.

After something of an awkward start these guys really got into the rhythm on what is a goddamn hard track! I love all the Rush t-shirts and: 1:50 - cute! Well-played all-round; I've been playing for 25 years and these guys are gutsier than me ;-)

Taking on master lvl music! Well done.

This is the first time I atched in full screen on my PC which has a 15 inch monitor !!

I don't know what brand of drums they are using. I only know Ludwig is a top brand. And the keyboard is a Roland Juno-D, which is a popular brand for the School of Rock bands.

Excellent job on a difficult and LONG Rush instrumental song!!

miconis123 The drummer lobbied really hard to do a Rush show, so he had to bring it when the Music Director of the school finally agreed. It's not whether they can do a song perfectly, but that they are trying to reach that level. And it's astounding how often they succeed.

Nicely done!

R.I.P. Neil Peart the Professor on the drum kit.

Good try guys!! To play 100 percent correctly and with perfect timing is impossible unless you are just 3 guys and called the holy trinity!

I can't help every time I watch this video the lead guitarist reminds me of the picture you see of a Neanderthal. My 23andMe analysis told me we all have a little Neanderthal DNA in us. Mine is less than 2%. There are regional differences too!

They had their own sloppy version down quickly at least 🤣🤣

Probably not the best choice for a school of rock to cover.
