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.
POISON OAK STREET HAUNTED HOUSE 2024
This is the 29th annual Halloween Haunted House walk thru.
Poison Oak Street is a haunted graveyard where rotted corpses and zombies rise from the dead. It is an intense walk thru haunted house with strobe lights, loud startling sounds, 40 animations and live actors.
This production takes about 2 weeks to set up with help from 8 good friends. The majority of the work is done 2 days before the show. Take down takes 7 hours with 8 people. Thanks god for good friends.
It takes two 60 gallon compressors to run the show. It's A LOT of air.
I build all the animatronic props and build the sound track for each one except for the 5 props from Home Depot and Spirit.
A fun Halloween spectacle for 2 nights that the community loves.
Enjoy the show!

Poison Oak Street Halloween 1998 Chainsaw and FRANKENSTEIN scenes.

This is from 1998. Haunted House. The video is rough but it's still fun to see some vintage haunted house footage. My backyard haunt "Poison Oak Street". The first scene is a chainsaw man and his victim. He cuts off her hand and flings it out towards the audience, then he cuts off her leg and flings that too. Blood pumps for both limbs trickle into a bucket below. The next scene is Frankenstein...

WAR PIGS - Black Sabbath - (Drum Cover) Adam Johnston
Переглядів 2,4 тис.3 роки тому
War Pigs has been on my list to cover for a while. Bill Ward was a jazz drummer that found his place in a Heavy metal band. He had such a great approach to so many Sabbath songs but this one is my favorite. What I did on this one was remove the original drum track and did my own interpretation of the song. This was a blast to do. Enjoy. And thanks to my wife for her help with filming. This was ...

Rush A Farewell To Kings is another favorite album of mine. This was another album I played and played and played in Jr High School and here is am 38 years later doing it again.

Perfection!!!!!!
KILLED IT! thank you for sharing your skills and impeccable taste in bands.
Congratrs, great job!! And thanks!!! Just had a good timing watching it.
Thanks Marco!
Holy cow. Awesome! Great job.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
Amazing!!!
This is awesome!!!!
Thanks so much!
Sounds like the professor 😮 amazing 😮 WOW 😮
Thanks so much! You're too kind.
Outstanding! Subbed. Thank you for your craft, you have a wonderful sound and groove. Neil was so unique! ❤
Thanks so much!
He makes it look so easy! Great job!
Thanks man!
Fantastic cover of a fantastic song - probably my favourite Rush track. There is a debate about where Neil sits in the pantheon of drummers - some will argue he is some way off the great jazz drummers and didn’t have the swing and feel. Perhaps. But Rush fans expected the band to sound at least as good live as they did on vinyl. They expected the same level of complexity and virtuosity. They expected Neil to exactly recreate his drum tracks every single night. That’s just what floats our boats as Rush fans. And boy did Neil deliver. And remember, he always said he was a compositional drummer - he wrote these drum tracks - he didn’t copy anyone else. He wrote them to be complex and challenging and then he challenged himself to recreate them night after night after night. Best of all time? Who knows but I would say he was the best drummer Rush could have had - he was a perfect fit for them - and, in my view, he is the best of all time at compositional rock drumming. He will always be remembered for as long as people are banging drums and playing music. In that sense he (with Geddy and Alex) is immortal and not just for a limited time.
Thank you!
Really good rush drummer
Thank you!
Outstanding work, my friend!!! Our professor Neil would be proud of you!!! Congratulations from Brazil!!!!
Thanks so much.
WOW.. just Woooow. This is one of my absolute favourite pieces from Neil and this was by far the closest representation of it I’ve seen. Amazing job!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. Super fun to cover. What a challenge. But at this point Rush is in my blood : )
Bravo 🤘🏻🦅
Thanks!
When these albums came out, I'd put them on the turntable, put on the headphones and intently listen to Neil adding his touch to everything. In more recent decades since, I've loved watching people pay tribute to the master. Having just stumbled across Adam Johnston, this is hands-down the best covers ever. I actually get goosebumps, like I'm a teenager listening to my headphones again in 1981.
Thanks so much! You are too kind. I did have a ton fun covering Neil. It's been in blood since I was a teenager. I would come home everyday after school put on 2112 and try to learn every lick.
Now can you play the same song over with more intensity like the professor please.
This dude looks like a combo of Getty Lee and Randy Blythe but plays like Downey. Sick
LOL! Thanks man!
That was awesome !! thanks for putting that on here ! Cheers !
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
Bravo !!! Thank you
No... Thank you!
UNREAL! In case ya'll didn't catch the stick twirl in the middle, here it is... 5:37
Thanks Man!
I was so bummed to be out of town this year
Great work. Easy to see you have a lot of experience. Is that the Angel of Death from Poison Props? (I have the Grim Reaper.) On the website, the Angel of Death video is a lot more erratic with its arm movements. Did you reprogram the movements?
I was the previous owner of Poison Props. I rebuilt the Reaper and made it creepier. You can slow down the movement by tightening the flow controls on the valves.
Once again you nailed it. Awesome haunt, sound and lighting design.
Awesome haunt this year! I’m hoping to go to Transworld one year and see all your creations and everything else, I’ve seen some of your stuff at a local haunt this year. There’s always one question I have though…. What’s he building in there??
Thanks for your kind words.
Great job Adam with your display and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of your props come to life. I skipped going to St. Louis last year but I will be there next year at the end of February and I’m looking forward to seeing you and killer props.
Thank you!
Brian Downey is a GOAT..better than everyone on any list..the only close is Sir Neil ...
@@powerage17 both great drummers.
Fantastic! Love it. Bang on. Inspiration to any drummer. ❤
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
badass
Wow...best audio and cover playing!❤
Thank you!
Nice house, Where is the lunging dog from? Looking to make my own
So good my friend
Thank you!
SO MANY NEIL CLONES OUT THERE, MANY OF EM GREAT, THEY HIT ALL THE RIGHT NOTES. YOU HIT THEM HARD AND MEAN IT LIKE NEIL DID
Well done!
Nice job, and you are one of the few drummers who actually spent your time tuning your drums to sound like Neil's drum kit for this song. Your toms and rotor toms sound great, and most of your cymbals as well, but it was hard to hear your ride cymbal and your hi-hat. Have you ever heard Danial Devost's rendition of Rush Red Barchetta? It's absolutely perfect. Check it out later. ua-cam.com/video/6rUW2ES6nsU/v-deo.html
@@weldonf4081 thanks so much. It took me a while to get the sound I wanted. Trying different mics and pro tools compression made a huge difference.
@@weldonf4081 I just watched Danial and he is very good. Nailed it.
Excellence of Execution on your drum kit Adam. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.
@@andyr.5769 thanks so much Andy. Glad you liked it.
Can you, like, re-unite Rush with your Neil playing?
I wish. LOL!
Fantastic! Perfect dynamics!!!
Thanks so much!
Great job , well plaid , Canadian Rock Gods RUSH 👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@rioborzeli147 thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
I don't know how I missed this!! Such a great choice of song to cover. As usual, your sound is wonderful, that snare makes me happy..lol. I don't know what you're up to, but I hope that you still play. Should you get the bug to upload again, I wouldn't be upset about some Police. I know Copeland is a beast, so we will take whatever we can get. Hope you are doing well, take care Adam.
Thanks so much Jeff! Glad you liked the cover.
Looks great and sounds great. Just found you here on UA-cam. Subbed . Looking for some instruction on voice with servo? Suppose some Pro props I just need to pony up and purchase. I also started drums with Rush. My pearl drum set is now just collecting dust. 😏
Wow you run That song whit All concentration and at this Time your the best man or you play this All like the professeur
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
Excellent work my rock and roll brother. Neil would be proud.
Thanks so much Bruce.
This is an incredible cover! Im a die-hard Rush fan, and this is one of my favorite songs. You deserve way more views than this.
Thanks man!
Very Nice
Thank you!
So many drummers. So few bands! Good job! 💯
So true, Glad you liked it.
Awesome!!! Bravo 🎉
Thanks so much!
Good god man awesome
Thanks so much!
Well done!! I love Rush, having been to nineteen shows. There are some good Rush covers, but in all but two, the drummers don’t quite get it. You do!!!
Wow! Thanks so much. I really apprciate your kind words.
killed it!
Yeah man
