The only thing cooler than the fact that Adam would make Neil proud is that he has a wife who supports the endeavor. Cheers to you both.

Adam, that was amazing. The tuning of the drums sounded bang on. Excellent quality in the audio mix. I smiled at 8:55 when you looked at the camera, it was like you were saying, I'm nailing this cover. Really well played. Thanks for sharing with us.

You're too kind. A super fun song to learn and play.

What a lively right hand! The muscular main groove, the lightness of the high hat in the verses, the punchy angularity of those impossible tom fills. It's all there. The band were on another plane when they wrote this song. You nailed it. Best Rush drum cover I've seen. A beautiful song, and a stunning performance.

WOW! Thanks so much Ryan. You're too kind. This tune was definitely a huge challenge to re learn after 20 years.

One of the things that stand apart in this cover is the backbeat consistency. Peart was meticulous with every note on his tracks, especially the left hand on the snare drum: he served a consistent solid crack of great tone every back beat. You've taken that tradition into your playing. Well done!

Alex and Geddy need to see this... The wasn't a cover, this was something special. It's hard to watch some musicians play "covers" because they're trying to emulate the original artist... You don't have anything around you that says "RUSH" or any evidence of other musical influences and man you played that as if you wrote it. God Bless you!!!

One thing I've noticed Adam, is you have the dance in your stick control. When Neil went back to that old jazz drummer to relearn his playing, you achieved that too. Anyways, you pull off these covers perfectly. This and Hemispheres are 2 of favorite masterpieces.

This was the one of the best crafted ones! i like your approach, you play economically but you manage to get NEP wibe but with your your own way of drumming and I can tell there's so much practise behind this take. I had to watch every chop, couldn't stop and it was fun. Your kit sound a bit different than Neil's but you get best out of it that it actually fits the purpose of the song perfectly.
