Red Barchetta - Rush (of course)

[dwsabianguy]

The problem with trying to do this on Neil's birthday is that it takes all damn day!

It's also always fun recording on this kit. That Radio King sounds amazing. That Canadian A ride sounds amazing. I miss a couple notes here and there...

 

[Stroman]

You didn't miss too damn many notes! Sounded great. What a perfect tribute to the professor on his birthday.

I always love hearing you do your thing, so thanks for this. You bring a great, visceral energy to the song here while still nailing the intricacies of the part. I used to love playing along to this song as I was growing up-- wish I'd had a video like this to help me figure out the trickier parts!

Bravo!

 

[IBitePrettyHard]

You really nailed it, well done!

I had no idea that a 1950s Slingerland Radio King could sound that good! That woody thock is so satisfying.

It's not often that a 64 year old snare can keep up with modern music, especially prog rock, but it fits perfectly here.

Did you get lucky with a great sounding Radio King, or are they all like that?

 

[Andy]

That was superb!!!!!!!!

 

[Rolltide]

Excellent

 

[Suburbankidz]

Bravo!

 

[Bozozoid]

Ya...its OK..but can you play wipe! Out. . Of course I was impressed but your hihat sound was killer.

 

[Capital D]

Love it! Great work

 

[green glass drum]

nice....

 

[Winston_Wolf]

Fantastic work! The whole kit sounds incredible, but that snare really is something special.

 

[green glass drum]

Is this song about driving a little red car and getting chased by aliens?

 

[ADrummerGuy]

Crushed it...Fantastic!

 

[AzHeat]

So well done....

Exactly! My ear has always been pretty decent but I’m a visual learner as well so vids like this really help to piece some things together . ( wish I never stopped playing and taking lessons years ago and continued to read as that’d help as well ) but next best thing for me is seeing as well as hearing the music.
@dwsabianguy , Always great to hear and SEE your playing ! Sooooo damn good and enjoyable !!!! Awesome job ! Thanks for posting

 

[Al Strange]

Smashing it nicely for the prof!!

 

[Xstr8edgtnrdrmrX]

great tribute and detailed playing!!! Even down to the backwards 747's!!!!

 

[Auspicious]

I totally love this, your skill is amazing and what a great song. I can't play it on the drums but I have the drum track engraved in my memory probably like a bunch of rush fans.

I have to admit good job on picking the right drums, cymbals and accessories to mimic Niel's so accurately, it really takes a large kit and a lot of accessories, Damn!

Thanks for sharing.
