This dude hits every note perfectly

My right hand hurts just thinking about this, man.

At first, the harsh spotlight from above bothered me because of the shadow on the snare... then I realized I could catch your technique by watching the shadow... Neil always said this was his hardest song to get right every time because of the speed and complexity, though the casual listener would never know. Again props to you... Always a treat to watch you play.

This guy is good, I wonder if he’s ever done any other Rush songs............,

He has done them all i think... if you havent seen it check his Xanadu out

I can only play this song once a day because of the speed and my arm is dead by the end It’s incredible how good this guy is because he probably does tons of takes in one sitting.

Dude, you nailed Neil like nobody else I've ever heard!

Usually my right hand is cramping half way through playing this, but you just made it look easy! Awesome job!

The kick drum is nicely mic’d up in this video. Great presentation 👍

the ride in 3:00 is sickkkk, most of the drummers sleep o that cymbal arrangement but it adds so much to the song.

finally someone that does the into correctly

Okay, Sterling... quick question for you. Neil always stated that this (Tom Sawyer) was one of his most challenging songs to play. Which Rush song was the most challenging for you to learn and play? I absolutely love ALL of your covers on Rush... you are flawless !!! 😎

Sterling I Have watched Several of Your Videos now. You Are by Far the Best Drummer on this Channel.Trust Me.!!! I Watched Several very Good drummers on You Tube. You Are The Best Man.!!!!!Your Beats Are Fantastic. Its Like Listening to To The Albums. You Are Spot on Brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is perfect, even down to the specific cymbals and toms you hit

Splendid!

I absolutely love all of your drum covers! Keep at it!

I just want to know 2 things. 1. How to get it so perfect every time 2. What job do you have, because he must make a ton of money to both afford equipment, and be able to take care of it

I can see you moved your cymbals and splash to be more like Neil’s early drum sets

Excellent cover sir! I applaud you 👏

Finally a new upload, lol. No, but really, great job Sterling. Your drums sound really good.

Bravo beautifully played👍👍

Amazing as always!

Spot on perfect! Contact Geddy and Alex! Let's tour again!😁

You know RUSH might be looking for a new drummer? Rest in peace Neil. You are missed deeply.

Superb job. One of the best covers I've seen yet of a song Neil himself found challenging to play correctly every time in concert. Well done Sir!

Even my cats like Rush.

Sterling- love the channel. And your moving tribute to Neil after his death (posted 1/11/2020) had me in tears. I'm sure you've been told this before, but you remind me of a young Neil Peart. DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR! LOL...keep hitting the skins, my friend. Cheers.

What impresses me is not the technique, but the amount of parts he can memorize. I can barely remember which side to hold the sticks...

Never ever seen a best cover of that song. And probably I´ll not see. Congrats.

Great freakin channel! Most of the cover channels seem to focus on one time era from rush. You cover near their entire catalog. Classic rock. Prog rock. Synth era. Newer stuff. All fantastic.

Nailed another rush song again

Neil Peart once said this was the most tricky song from him to keep up... and you my friend nailed every single note!! Neil would be proud!! thank you for all your efford and the videos!!

Great job, great cover, great sound. I am sure Neil will approve and he is more than happy with your effort.

Nice cover buddy! Like dropped!

As Vader would say, Impressive, most impressive. ObiWan Peart has taught you well.

I like very much your drumming and recording. Very Rush drum sound...

Sterling would love for you to add some LED lights somewhere that will illuminate your footwork. Would love to get a better look at your pedal mastery. Can hardly see anything clearly below your hands. This would be hugely appreciated!

Freaking Awesome , Nice kit , nice chops ... made Neil Proud \m/...

Yes

@ Sterling Fuentes Looking forward to see what you post next. It must be nearly time..🤞🙂

Amazing and so watchable.

Increible performance!

Aced that one, excellent sound 👍👍

I too video/film myself playing along with "covers", and wish to optimize my audio production. What's your go-to audio setup? Panning, and such....... How do you "produce", and "stream" the audio of these video's? I ask because your efforts have payed-off (regarding followers). Congrats BTW.....

Awesome and perfect cover as usual!

stunning how you keep time on the symball , i know lots of of practice makes perfection but you make it look easy

Nice cover ! I cramp up big time

Congrats - you nailed it 🤘

Your set up is looking great 👍 awesome job

Good drumming dude !! I give you my support and my Like 👍

Just wondering, how did you afford all your drums lol??

2:32

I’d love to know the sizes of his kit and cymbals

i see you've remastered some of your drum solos. when's "The Big Money" remaster :). I think with your new and improved setup you can get some very similar sounds

Absolutely to the fuckin T man. Full respect. If you were thinking of going into other bands, I suggest that you try Nick Mason's work on Echoes, Dogs, and Pigs (3 Different Ones).

no dislikes. 😏

You are an awesome drummer. You would be a great replacement if RUSH ever decides to go back on tour. RIP Neil Peart
