How in the actual fu*k does this cover video not have millions of views. That’s what’s wrong with KZread, this guy just NAILED Spirit of Radio and he gets a 10th of the attention he deserves.

I can't believe 13 people have thumbed this down. So far, the best technical recreation of Spirit of Radio I've seen.

This is a brilliant version; truly one of the best I've heard. Maybe the 'thumbs down' idiots might like to show us how it's done. If they knew anything about playing drums they would recognise skill.

@spim randsley The chimes? The guy has already spent a fortune. I'm working on it on an Alesis Nitro, getting very close but no way will I get it all, in part due to financial limits. Maybe you should appreciate his skills and talents firstly.

@spim randsley Calm yourself then and show us what you mean: practical demo would suffice.

Ive watched this at least 20x, and Im not even a drummer. Its technically perfect. Awesome.

@@jschrager23 This guy is very good ,if I had one small critique ,it would be his feel .That's just me.

How can a such talented drummer like you not be one of these top famous youtube drummers such as Cobus and Coop3rdrumm3r for example; Your brilliant, wasn't a single fault, sounded just like the track, such tight drumming. You deserve alot more credit than you earn :)

Love how he hits the dome of the ride symbol. Just love that 'ting ting ting ting' in fast succession. Go Get 'em Mike!!

Can watch Mike cover this 100 times and STILL am amazed how well he did it. Noone else can come close.....YET! Miss Mike. Still have sticks signed by.him.

Great drumming makes me happy. I'm happy now.

J.T. Smith ahhh mine too

I could tell within the first ten seconds this was going to be an awesome cover and I was right! Terrific job. This is really amazing. Great choice of song to cover, too.

Mike, you are my favorite drummer from YYNOT and I hope you become permanent. Not only is your playing exceptional, but when you play you look even more relaxed then the professor himself when you play his music!

Almost flawless (that's the best anyone but the late great professor can achieve) Sir, you are an immense percussionist............Thank you.

You're the type of drummer that I like to "watch". There's a fluidity in your playing. You're not stiff. As Neil Peart once said, "There's a dance that goes on between drumbeats". Great cover.

I used this to help me for an audition for a university im applying to, I can only say that Thank You very much The drumming here is amazing

CGV That’s incredible! So glad my video helped! :)

This is spot-on the best part when he breaks it down around a 1 minute 45 seconds when he says all this machinery making modern music that drum part right there is excellent Bravo sir.

Mike, Thank you so much for posting your perfect performance of this great song. Not only is your playing spot on, but the camera angle is perfect to. Thanks to you I was able to learn this song and play right along with you. You are very talented and inspiring!

Outstanding! I’ve been looking at drum covers of this song for years. When I’m told someone is a great drummer I always ask “Yeah, but can he play ‘Spirit of Radio?” It’s Neil’s masterpiece and the yardstick by which a drummer’s ability is measured. You have certainly hurdled that bar with your performance. Well done.

I had an audition to get into college and I had to play a song on my chosen instrument (drums, of course). I chose to play this song and I must say this video really helped out. thanks for that!!!!!

+Billy Johanson There's sheet music for this, i had many copies, it's been so long ago though now that I've learned it I have it memorized/by heart. I have it buried somewhere in the depths of my closet lol. I'm sure for future ref you can look online for it somewhere

You absolutely nailed it, awesome job! Hell of a set you have as well. Thank you for sharing!

That is some crisp work. Bravo.

Great job!!! You style is so fluid and effortlessly!

This is by far my favorite drum part Neil ever crafted. Such a powerful use of the drums! What an incredible cover of this classic! Gave me chills.

Really great to watch this. It's my favorite Rush song, and like the content of the lyrics, it's so alive!

Mike your control of tempo is absolutely perfect, bravo!

That was AWESOME!!! Best cover of this song I've seen on youtube!

You are a King! Such fantastic work!

I am so amazed. Wow, times ten. Thanks for sharing it. As a new drummer, seeing so clearly how some of this is done, really really helps. It aslo insorees me to keep practicing.

FANTASTIC job!! I have been slowly trying to learn every beat myself, and you are the first one I have seen who plays EVERY beat perfectly like Neil Peart. Congratulation!! Awesome job!! Thanks for sharing!!

Truly one of the best renditions of Spirit of Radio I've even seen. Really great work and a wonderful tribute to our fallen Professor!

Wow! Wow! Wow! You nailed that perfectly. I can't imagine how much practice it would take to do this but you made it look effortless. Neil must be proud to hear people like you carry on this sort of skill. Incredible precision Mike. Thank you for recording and sharing this.

Awesome job! One of those songs you are grateful that it exists.

Wow! He nailed it!! Great job, Mike. Very impressive.

Came here to say " Ive watched this at least 20x, and Im not even a drummer. Its technically perfect" and amsterdope beat me to it. OUTSTANDING

Your kit sounds so good and looks so good. And the best cover of this song I've seen

Wow.!!! Nice job Mike.!! Nice kit Dude !! Your beats are spot on man.!!!!! Exellant !!!!!

Really good stuff! Kit sounds very nice, and great timing!

Awesome cover, one of the best and I’m sure the great man himself, Neil Peart would be impressed

Absolutely fantastic!

great job man one of favorite Rush Tunes

i/ve been playing drumset for over 40 years, and you play this song alot better than i could .great job

Absolutely amazing!

Excellent job brother .....A true joy to watch 👍🏻💯🙌🏼

This is first rate drumming. This video helped me to help one of my students in a few ways. Thanks for this great video Mike.

WOW..... by far the best I've seen for a SOR recreation. Such ease with the sticks. Kudos!

Fantastic job my friend!! You made it look easy!!

Brilliant,lovely kit as well

So balanced, steady, focused... great job!

Our classic rock band has decided to take this song on and this is the best representation to learn from I can find out there...thanks man!

This is freakin amazing! Nice job!💯

Always a pleasure seeing you jam. From northwest Indiana.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Excellent work sir!!!

My absolute favorite drum cover on KZread. I find myself watching this video every few months, trying to get this piece down. Great work my man!

Awesome drum playing!! It's amazing how the youth are constantly trying to replicate Neil's drumming technics. I love it. Neil's mastering of the drum set will live forever!

This was amazing to watch. Such precision and command of tempo changes. Bravo !

By far the best drum cover of this song! Great job! :D

A Master makes the complicated look easy. All your videos look easy. Awesomeness!!!

Absolutely perfect cover! Excellent job!

One of the most complicated drum pieces ever composed and played by the genius of rock-n-roll Neal Peart , but you made it look easy. Very impressive!! So many different fills, ghost notes, time changes, etc. Amazing!!!!

Mike ...This was outstanding.. crisp clear and on point my friend. This is drumming .

Mad bass rolls! Epic version! Well done!

Great performance, kit Pearl top, sounds animal!

Incredible cover Mike!

Awesome 👏 👍 I saw Rush in 1983 in Oklahoma. I was a young man then but now I’m old. I listen to my music every now and then and feel young again. Age is not just a number, it’s real. Enjoy life when young. You won’t get another chance. I did! Thank you for the post.

I see this is from 9 years ago which mean’s you’ve been nailing Neil Peart drums for years, love that I found you online, loving your covers!!

You made that look and sound effortless my friend...seriously seriously top fkin notch!

Beautiful kit Mike.

Awesome jam... Love this song. Great Cover...

Major skill bro, I love the changes, and syncopation of Neil Pearts style. You got my subscription.

so relaxed and precise at the same time. had to drop a like on this.

Bravo. The best I've seen and heard. Excellent behaviour.

WOW! Awesome, I gave it the thumbs up just on the intro. Great vid, cheers from Canada

having read other comments after viewing ur cover i see im not the first to notice your base speed. Its obvious you have put in the time to get this right, Bravo Mike.

great cover man, i'm learning this song right now for drums. Kit sounded awesome too!!

Great job..Great drum tones !!

Hey Mike your drum cover is awesome, congrats brother and as others said, it is at the top of Spirit of Radio covers. I truly enjoyed it, keep on drumming!!!

Excellent job ! smooth Sir. Glad you are playing with YYNOT!

Tremendous piece of work mate! I'm sure the great man himself would approve.

Awesome cover, very lively, spot on sound, nice and crisp. Peace

GREAT job Mike! Very nicely executed. :D

Note for note one of the best efforts I’ve seen lad lovely stuff

Damn man, you play it pretty much perfect! Actually got the accents on the bass drum and snare amazing

Whoa, those drums sound so good!

Neil was perhaps the greatest drummer to ever live (in my opinion) and to be able to duplicate what he did is nothing short of amazing! Lets start a Rush cover band! :)

Absolutely Awesome!

Fantastic drumming. Enjoy watching your videos.

Mate this is awesome, love the drum sound you've got too

Seriously good! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this! 🤘

Crisp, tight, and powerful as always, Mike.

DUDE. You nailed it! Awesome job.

"honey will u come tape me drum to a song?" "It depends, what song?" "Spirit of the radio" "Aw fuck yeah"

Great drumming man! You're ripping on that kit, awesome!

…phenomenal work. GREAT job…great tone too

Cant believe this can be repetable. Best ever cover of all music in youtube. Technically very difficult cover. Mindblow🔥🤘

I think that Neil Peart is the best drummer of the world and follow what he does in the drums is for few. Congratulations Mike. Rush in my vein.

Fantastic man, loved it!

Wow, very well done. Neil himself would be proud.

BRAVO!!! Well done sir!

phenomenal!

Superb....sounded great ! Kudos !

My favorite cover of this song, by a mile.
