ADAM JOHNSTON

I have been a huge Rush fan since I was 13. My first album was 2112 and I learned every note practicing after school. I thought it would be fun to go back to my roots and re learn my favorite Rush albums and produce videos. So after upgrading to Sennheiser mics here we are. I hope you enjoy it. We had a blast making them.

    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! 👏👏👍

    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!

    Well, the "algorithm" (as people are saying here lol), also threw me your way for the first time tonight. Was heading for the sack and instead listened to the entire Hemispheres album courtesy of your excellent, raw and precise drumming skills. That album came out when i was in HS and i was just learning drums and i could only pretend to play along with any of these tracks but it still has never ceased to thrill every time i hear it. I miss Neil greatly. Great job and thank you.

    @josephmonaco4503 10 minutes ago Adam, When that album came out, I played it for months until I could play and remember every beat like you. I had the same Black Slingerland set that Neil had back in 1976. Anyway, I haven't heard it played so perfectly since back then. You are a great drummer and you kit sounds amazing. Oh, I even ""Viberfized"" all of my drums like Neil did to his Black Slingerland and his Red Tama kit. I want brag about myself, but myself and a friend of mine, used to play these songs like you just did here for over 20 plus years, but, computers weren't around then, and there was no KZread, or internet... What a shame... hehe.. I have watched so many other drummers "TRY" to play Rush, but it takes a very special individual to really master Neil's Touch.. Great Job !!! Joey..

    Now Mr. Johnston, how many times have we told you? ("You know we told you before, but you didn't hear us then, so you still question why, NO!, you didn't listen again! :o) STOP EATING YOUR FRAYED DRUMSTICKS! This is your last warning. Life's a bummer if you're not a drummer. :o) You're questioning why you keep pooping little wooden puppets. You can either stop eating frayed drumsticks, or we're gonna change your name to Gepetto. LMAO! :oP
