Neil Peart got the closest that I've ever heard.The song I've never heard any drummer get right is Rush Freewill, namely the bridge/guitar solo, and specifically the fill at 3:39
Sounds like he nailed it on Exit Stage Left. I hear the HH chokes but hard to hear if the ghost notes are there on the snare.Neil Peart got the closest that I've ever heard.![]()
I don't think you understand the man in the video is the manager at Guitar Center. I asked him to show it to me but he said he doesn't give lessons.Ask the manager to play it himself, then ask to speak to his manager
Ok, this makes more sense now. The GC manager is the drummer for the band New England.This is the guy who is the manager and he even says this in the video here at 25:40 approx.
Well, it sounds like he's a real ass-hat. He's probably bitter about having to be a GC manager instead of being the rockstar he thinks he is. Narcisistic egomaniacs are typically not friendly people to those they think are lesser than themselves.Well I won't do that because he is pretty mad all the time even when you don't try anything. Usually I don't but I buy sticks and heads and sometimes other things as well. I can't buy a drum set without my parents because on the train I take it would get stoled.
Why is the Pearl logo sideways there? Is that just a mistake from the road crew? I bought a CD from him he was selling but it was not my type of music but a lot of talent and everything. I'm more into the older rock stuff.
I was initially confused as well. I have never heard of this song or the band. I was thinking how odd it was that this manager was just randomly bringing up this song to other drummers, but it makes sense now.Ok, this makes more sense now. The GC manager is the drummer for the band New England.
Either he's just messing with you, or he's got the ego of......well, a lot of musicians I've met.
No one’s playing it right because no one is playing it—period (except for that ass hat of a manager).I was initially confused as well. I have never heard of this song or the band. I was thinking how odd it was that this manager was just randomly bringing up this song to other drummers, but it makes sense now.
I couldn't find a single drum cover of it on youtube. who exactly is playing it wrong?
Well he told me every drummer in the world plays it and in the video he says they do and all play it wrong. Mr. Gardener is a good drummer with success but he should be more nice to his paying customers. I bought my drum set from Guitar Center.I was initially confused as well.

which is probably why it gets a lot of air time at GCI had never heard of it, or the band New England, until this thread, so I wouldn't say that every drummer in the world tries to play it. It's very straight forward and wouldn't be very difficult to play even for a noobie.
Also I do not like the song but he said it is the only song kids are allowed to try out on the drums and no matter what he says it's wrong. Usually I like to play Rip it Up by Ace to try out drums.
He even told me to go to the other Guitar Center because I didn't know the song. That is a long walk from the one I was at all the way across Boston.They are nice over there but it's far from the train for me vs the one he is at so I am needing help to play this song correct.
It sure makes a lot more sense if this is the case. Otherwise it's really bizarre. Also the word bizarre is weird.The manager is obviously just having fun with this. Don't take it personally. Spend less time at GC and more time practicing.
Yes can you please ask him to stop yelling at me I just buy sticks and sometimes heads but like to try out the sticks after i buy them on the electrc kit because i want to buy one as soon as i have $75 more dollars about. Thank you!Ha I used to work for Hirsh! Is he still at the Guitar Center on Mass Ave? Cause I helped him open that store back in 2012. Hirsh was a great manager, and he's just messing with you. And if he's still at store 599 that's pretty much his home; he was the manager at the Daddy's Junky Music in that same location for like twenty years before that whole chain went belly up and GC got that location. I super highly doubt he'd actually tell someone to leave his store.
