Um wow. Speachless. i dont know what to say. That video might have been the best imitation of neil peart i have ever witnessed. Your technique, timing, articulation, and fills were all perfect. Im amazed. great work great work.

[HardcoreLogo]

Wow, that was tight playing for sure, and the drum sound was pretty sweet....any recording tips(lol)

[350zjc]

best tribute video ive seen. great work.boy you studied him alright. im a big peart fan.what can i say but yeah!

[michael drums]

And a wonderful "tip of the hat" it was, Shogun! What more can I say that hasn't already been said? Thank You for that great tribute to the "Professor". Well Done...Play On! ;-)

[somedrummer]

Man! All of your vids are really hot! That's really great playing.You seem to really know what you're doing. With all those chops, I think I'd like to see some improvised soloing. Great stuff!

[KCDrummer]

Wow, great work! You even nailed the intro to "Spirit of the Radio" which is NOT an easy lick from a timing standpoint. I especially like the album cover follow-along. NIce selection from "Vapor Trails" too. Don't know if it was on purpose, but definately appropriate for the times. Enjoyed it!

[beatsMcGee]

that was great, sick drumming man, everything about that video was tasteful, and well executed. your chops are impecable and the sound of your drums are just well... perfect.

[Drummer Karl]

Maaan, that is some impressive stuff! Great work...and how can you do so many timing and groove changes so perfect, that was awesome. Cool grooving, fill ins and I loved when you played unisono with the band.

Keep it up mate...

Karl

[boomboomda]

Great work, very cool.

[tommapex]

That was incredibly well done!!!! Bravo!!!!!

[junglelord]

I am into what your into...and the beginning drum fill to By Tore and the Snow Dog was wonderfully done. The fill to Xanadu was real nice too.
Those are real nice all the way through, I am impressed, we would jam great together.
Very nice mix of different songs well spliced together.
Your very cool.
We must be brothers.
Cheers

[Sirwill]

As your self I too have been inspirited buy the professor. You have learned some of his rides well and even a fill or two. In my drumming experience playing to another drummers licks is fun and challenging but playing it live is another. I would like too hear some of your own material as well. Good Job.

[anp27]

I didn't even have to watch it to know it was good. You are truly phenomenal, Shogun.

[mattsmith]

You're a really good player. Like I said to you in the crazy thread that got deleted...welcome. I look forward to hearing your original stuff too. I'm sure it's first class.

Hey, I agree with you 100%! It`s the same when I get new play-alongs, I think it`s impossible to get all the accents and tempi in my head but when I play it two or three times then I can just do it out of memory and feeling...

Karl

[Mapex589]

WOW! That was a blast to watch! You are a really incredible player. Great kit set up by the way!!

[SLEEPY BRiGHT EYEZ]

How long did it take you to put all of that together? That was very nice.

[morphe]

Too bad he already exists.

[morristyson]

Wow! (a man of few words)

[Shogun_warrior32]

How long did it take you to put all of that together? That was very nice.

Those aren't Christmas bells were hearing....When's the wedding, kids?

Hee...hee... Awww shucks, you guys are cute! Anyway, Shogun...You're too modest. You really are cool, like anp27 says. Ya know...Dreams can come true...Play On! ;-)

Hahahaha. Shogun is soo modest, it makes me feel like quiting the drums. Michael, have you checked out my vids?

No, I'm sorry. I haven't. Would you like me to? Post the link and I'll check 'em out. Let's see ya...Play On! Thanks anp27! ;-)

[Jeff Almeyda]

You brought a smile to my face with that tribute. I hadn't heard some of those somgs in over a decade. I have to go dig out A Farewell to Kings and and listen to it again.

You sound good, your drums sound good too.

Thanks for the memories.

[nhzoso]

Very impressive, How long you been playing? And what type of China is that when you were playing Grace under pressure?

[cjl71178]

Very impressive Shogun...you did one hell of a job with that tribute. Neil would
be proud.

Peace.

[anp27]

No, I'm sorry. I haven't. Would you like me to? Post the link and I'll check 'em out. Let's see ya...Play On! Thanks anp27! ;-)

thanks man..i've been playing for twenty something years i guess... that china , believe it or not , is the 14 inch wuhan guitar center 15 dollar special ... ended up being my favorite cymbal... go figure ... i also use the 12 inch and 12 inch wuhan splash ... that one works great for me too for certain things. cheap is my middle name and finding these wuhans were like winning the lottery to me!

I'm right there with that sentiment. I wish my playing could compare. Nonetheless, its fun learning and trying to play Neil's parts.

(And now, to the fans, the obligatory..."Rush Rules")

yea .. like i said... a gorgeous, smart, sweet woman who covers dave weckl tunes on drums! what more can a guy ask for? Adriane, you have to stop down'ing yourself... you totally rock! and i'm not just saying that so you'll marry me... ;)

[anp27]

I'll only stop down'ing myself when you admit that you're the best drummer around

[fusssion]

ok you two....that's enough!!! :)

Shogun...

Nice stuff!! Great tribute.

Distant Early Warning ..though? In the pattern w/ the china...crashes on the 1 (off the china)....everything else is the china......pretty sure at least.

And how can leave off Subdivision from Signals ?!?!?!?!?!? Ohhhh the humanity!!

Great stuff!!!

[Shogun_warrior32]

you're Crazy! But i think we might have a love connection here! are there any ordained ministers here? we'll have everyone playing drums at the wedding... even the minister! that would totally rock!

[Shogun_warrior32]

yea .. you're probably right about distant early warning... i would never be able to do it all note for note... and ok.. i'll stop with my crush on anp2.. i'm a dork . as far as subdivisions.. i have a full vid with that... i played that one out. kinda worn out on that one.

The "note" is right......just the wrong cymbal! :)

Oh...I'll go check it out then!

Wow! Great groove, anp27. It's obvious you've been playing for awhile. The recording of your "main groove" is excellent. Your kit is tuned so well and your set-up is perfect for your style. A small and compacted kit that allows you to lay down serious groove and solo without much effort. Well Done!

Hey, is that your band in the "drum solo" clip? Sounds really tight! Do you guys have any recordings? And what's the name of your band?

Thanks for sharing your clips and skills...Play On!.....Indeed! ;-)

[michael drums]

Hey Shogun. You have to realize your skills, man! You do a fantastic job in your vids. Yea, yea, I know it's right to be humble, but I wouldn't knock yourself the way it sounds like you are. You weren't afraid to record and video yourself to post it here on DW. And we're the benificiaries of this. Adriane is right. Your playing is tight and effortless. And I hope to see more of you on here. Thanks Shogun...Play On! ;-)

[thecraponline]

Really nice video, Shogun, I had to watch it over and over again. Your playing is amazing.

[Mendozart]

Shogun, that was sweet! I've never even checked out this section of the forum. This really brought back some memories. I use to play in a progressive rock band in the early 90's and we would do a set called "Rush Hour". We played Tom Sawyer, Analog Kid. Xanadu, 2112, Red Barchetta, etc. I really owe a huge growth in my playing to that band and playing those songs. I really love the way you covered all the Rush albums. The first time I saw Rush was 1976, when they opened up for Ted Nugent. Peart totally blew me away and it was a very inspiring show. To this day I still pull out a few licks from the old "Rush Hour"

[gretsch223]

DUDE! That was awesome! Great sound and great everything! I thought that was him for a sec...I love that bell and all the cymbals sounded great! WOW!

[Pearl Player]

Let me know what yas think.. any criticism is good criticism..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq-iABCas9Y

WOW excellent job... And the first thing I noticed was great micing and fantastic playing. I normally dont look at drum stuff on YouTube cause being a sound engineer I just cant tollerate the many things done with CamCorder mics...

You have Certainly impressed me... Thank you so much for sharing this...

Love the hat too... hehe! You know I couldnt resist..

Mike

[fixmejesus]

Thats the best I've seen on this site by far. We can talk about Bonham and Rich, but I'm sorry to say that Peart is the MAN! And your tribute to him would make a humbe man like Peart proud.

Every time I try to explore Jazz, I get side tracked with Peart and Rush. After watching your tribute, I say F*&% Jazz, lets play some Rush!

[Shogun_warrior32]

WOW!!!..THANKS EVERYONE!!!.. these comments are truly appreciated! Yea..it's always fun to jam to some Rush. Peart was definitely the reason I started playing drums. Hey..let's not forget the camera man in most of my vids... my son Steven!..ha ha... too funny...
Thanks again all!

Jon

[Ogg]

My Ged! As a Rush fan for over twenty five years (and as anal a fan as you can find) I have to admit that you blew me away mate. So impressed I watched it twice and made myself late crashing out for work tomorrow, lol. Nigh-on perfect imho.

[hawkins01902]

AMAZING cover of neil peart! the best ive ever seen ever!!!! thank for that vid
oh by the way what did u use to remove the drums from those tracks?
thanks man
