For those of us who know this song's every beat, which is probably the majority here, it's always a pleasure to hear it played so well, and to see how the drummer navigates around not having all of the required 47 drums
You have to remember she’s been playing drums since she was like nine years old or something practice make perfect she’s been doing it alot of years and she is definitely awesome now👍
its amazing that even the most casual listener has this rhythm section of Geddy & Neal so imbedded in they're subconscious that every rudiment she's executing is EXACTLY as it was meant to be. Absolutely stunning!!!!!
Time at the drums does not equal greatness. It's all about natural talent when it comes to songs like this...plus a big dose of music theory and study. These performances don't come from nothing.
@@gixxerpwns thats a badge of honor if u think complimenting a woman on a talent she has is a bad thing im sure your alone and live in mommys basement!
The one and only Neil Peart......and you did it proper justice Brooke!!! Pure testament to just how far you've come and how good you are! Amazing work.
Nice to hear a normal comment instead of this male one upping, know it all, better than you attitude of some of these commenters! You must be a real gentleman!
Its so BadAss to see a young lady like you absolutely nail these songs. Love your power and grace and attitude behind the kit. Why not do a video where you tell us about your background , teaching, influences. Right On . Good to see young people keeping Rock n Roll alive !
I have been following you since almost the beginning, and I am still blown away by your talent and skill. You always nail the songs you cover that have Drum Gods like Neil Peart, Rest In Peace.
237 people took the time to dislike the video? Seriously, why? She absolutely killed that drum part! Fantastic video! Female musicians are awesome, especially when they play good music.
@@laug1576 I didn't put any emphasis on female at all. I merely said they were awesome, how can you disagree with that. Oh, you're a feminist. Sorry honey, but your opinion means nothing. ONLY a feminist would have a problem with someone calling females awesome and I'm not playing your Political Correctness game.
Espectacular!... Amo el hecho de que una mujer tan joven, siga los pasos del querido Maestro Neil... Soy baterista tambièn, y fan de Rush... Felicitaciones", exelente performance!!... Sigue asì!!... (desde Argentina).
Wow, great job. Near perfect. 30+ years playing myself. I know a lot of time goes into getting all the fills, accents, off time beats and nuances down. Keep it up! Rock on!
I think its awesome that these young super talents can appreciate the greats from years past.This is what makes rock and roll great.Keep rockin Brooke!
Love the sound of your drums. I bet you spend every waking minute working out on learning and thinking up all kinds of ways. I could go on and on. Thank you young lady.
Rock lives FOREVER.... with these wonderful young artists keeping it alive. GOD BLESS their folks for keeping the spirit alive amongst our younger ones !
This is such a beautiful tribute to Neil! I got to seem him a few times live, and it was a great privilege. Your performance was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing it!!
I remember when this "album" came out. Back then it was totally unheard of a female being able to play this let alone your age. I love it. That you and some of your generation are getting into the good stuff now. Especially the females.. It really shows your talent. 👍👍
I have a 14 year old son that hates when i play RUSH. I am pretty sure his friends have no idea who RUSH even is! The kids today have no idea what music is. I guess that officially makes me an old fart but I will always appreciate a person that can play an instrument or sing. Now get off my lawn!
The kids who don't have their parents show them what music is are the ones who don't listen to the same music as people who are into the legends if rock, I myself was lucky to have parents who showed me the amazing side to music that got me into guitar and also playing rush but some don't have that opportunity
You're a killer drummer for sure but what I love most about you is that you're not a poser. When you play you focus on your playing. I'm sick and tired of drummers on Instagram and Tiktok posing and flirting with the camera while they play. It's horrible. You're a breath of fresh air. Nailed this btw 👌🏼
heheh. Just totally pissed off my Roommate this morning. 8am Sat, he's trying to sleep in. Me: "ooooh!! New Brooke video covering my all time favorite Rush jam. YES PLEASE!!" Cranks it up.
@@maddawgnoll But I wasn't too far off. Outside work. Getting up with the sun. Me being an owl, definately not for me. My work day begins at 10 a.m. and can last until 11 p.m. at times. I get up at 9 a.m. and go to bed sometime between 1 and 2 a.m. So getting up as early as you is definately not and option. And Saturdays and Sundays are off days for most people, so sleeping in is not a thing unheard of. ;)
Archer: "Wow, amazing! You can play YYZ!" Krieger: "First of all, it's 'Y-Y-Zed.' And second of all, no, I can't get it. It's impossible." Brooke: *grins*
I play that song just for the guitar solo. Alex Lifeson makes it beautifully expressive and I keep imagining a symphony arrangement because it's a lot like violin.
Great song to remember the greatest drummer who ever lived. No offense. So glad you covered Rush! Cover plenty more and showcase some of your own work too!
@@tdunph4250 I just looked up the Morse Code table. I'm looking at it obviously for Y & Z. I see the symbols and tap my fingers, OK. - • - - , - • - -, - - • • but I can't even tap it out once correctly for YYZ and totally mangle trying to repeat it. Such a spaz. Most people around the GTA I know still call the airport "Pearson" but my family has been in Toronto since it was just little old Malton before even the Boeing 707 flew. You from around the GTA?
@@charlieross-BRM born + Raised etobicoke/Toronto. Been east since 2014. A lot has changed immensely. As Thomas Wolfe once wrote "You can't go home again"
You have a great talent. To play tunes like this takes serious practice. Please whatever you do..... never stop playing Rush. Thanks and please stay safe and healthy.
I don't see how anyone can hate on this. You have to have great appreciation for Neil Peart to sit down and decipher one of his greatest songs and then replicate it on the drums. She made it look way too easy but even still she shows respect so therefore deserves respect.
I mean I dunno man, the fills in the middle weren't played right.... Its just another one of those "I do my own thing covers" which means in reality, I was too lazy to listen and learn the real parts. She plays the ride pattern thing wrong too where it's missing the snare ghost notes with the ride triplets. No doubt she's good, but this cover is about 80% there.
Gracias!!! ..muy inspirador que una joven mujer..y muy guapa...toque esta música..! hermoso..! Muy bueno..!!! Y el instrumento del maestro..! Gracias estimada y un gran abrazo desde Buenos Aires - Argentina.
Usually don't watch these cute chick playing drums videos cause they're usually too busy trying to be cute but you young lady are all business...and business is good.

I'm at peace knowing that there are young women aspiring to learn 40-year old prog rock classics. Rock will never die.
This right here. Exactly
Yup
Facts! Amen.
before you make art, you must learn your craft
Here to say the same thing. Yay, young people!!
For those of us who know this song's every beat, which is probably the majority here, it's always a pleasure to hear it played so well, and to see how the drummer navigates around not having all of the required 47 drums
You must not know the beats she missed then 😂
@@MrJjb6989 Oh, FFS, like YOU could do better...STFU.
Yup, she missed a lot but an attempt worthy of praise.
@@MrJjb6989 where is your video?
Those ridicule useless drums
This young lady has some serious talent. Neil is looking down and smiling.
Absolutely
@@superironcarlos He certainly is, RIP Neal, my hero.
Nailing the Neil Peart symbol ride to a t 💞
No he is not unfortunately, he was an Atheist.
You have to remember she’s been playing drums since she was like nine years old or something practice make perfect she’s been doing it alot of years and she is definitely awesome now👍
I am an old Rush fan since early 80s, and I know YYZ and all its tiny ghost notes. Your rendition is incredible❤ Neil is smiling RIP
The way she smiles at the end. Because shes knows she absolutely nailed it. Very Well done
Sounded Awesome Brooke what a Birthday Present in Heaven for Dr. Peart
Dr?
Professor. Peart you mean
Professor can be a Doctor too LOL
Stanleynich professor in this case was a nickname.
Yea not gonna argue over something so petty I think Brooke did a great job either way
its amazing that even the most casual listener has this rhythm section of Geddy & Neal so imbedded in they're subconscious that every rudiment she's executing is EXACTLY as it was meant to be. Absolutely stunning!!!!!
Outstanding, having played YYZ many years ago, I know this song inside and out, spot on young lady, spot on!!
You’ve got it young lady….Neil would be proud👍👍
That drum tone, especially the snare, is the stuff dreams are made of. Playing is stellar too. Great work!
Yea the minels - you got to wait in line fer them
Bravo ,the professor would have smiled over this one
He sure would.
you mean Bravado? ;)
just 4 your knowledge, for females you say "Brava" not "Bravo"
@@william_mazza TIL. Interesting.
Ok girl i been playing drums longer than you been on this earth and holy smokes im blown away at how good you are! Keep it up!
For real! So talented.. she nailed it. To play The Proffesor's stuff is the ultimate. Its my opinion he was the greatest of all time
Really nice but should have done the drum solo. Even if she didn't play his exact solo, I'm sure she would have ripped it!
Very good timing. Excellent drumming shown.

For those of you that don't know:
The rhythm in the intro and outro of this song is literally the letters "yyz" in succession in morse code
^^ THIS!! I'm glad you brought this up. Just another little piece of awesome that makes Rush so great!!
It is Toronto's Airport code
We actually do know. You're not acting smart by stating this.
...-------.-.---......---------..........
@@JonHawaii2003 that's what I heard.
I know every beat in that song. She was astounding. She did Neil proud.
*Neil
@@Skraboing649 kneel*
I totally agree! Nailed every note
Totally agree
We all know it....solid
Well that was awesome ☺️
The one and only Neil Peart......and you did it proper justice Brooke!!! Pure testament to just how far you've come and how good you are! Amazing work.
My favorite band of all time... my favorite drummer of all time. You killed it Brooke! Neil would be impressed❤👍✌
This woman is always AWESOME. What a Hero.
So good. If Geddy & Alex decided to do a RUSH tour, you would take Neil's mantle on stage perfectly. You Rock.
Absolutely awesome. The Professor himself would be proud. Onward and upward Brooke.
You're welcome. Your dedication is inspiring. Now you just have to get more drums. I want to see Xanadu next.
Nicely done! I guarantee it would have made Neil proud to see you do that! He is GREATLY missed!
A real masterpiece Song. Perfect drumming, lady!
Nice to hear a normal comment instead of this male one upping, know it all, better than you attitude of some of these commenters! You must be a real gentleman!
@@22ergie she pretty much nailed it. well done !!
UNBELIEVABLE Brook, you would think that Neil Peart is playing, 10 Stars for you, Just Incredible,,
Fantastic
Very nice job with just the right amount of enthusiasm! RIP Neal!!
Fantastic! Works within the limits of the kit and pulls it off beautifully.
OK. Now you're just showing off. And when you tear it up like this, you should! Thanks for going public with this jam.
Its so BadAss to see a young lady like you absolutely nail these songs. Love your power and grace and attitude behind the kit. Why not do a video where you tell us about your background , teaching, influences. Right On . Good to see young people keeping Rock n Roll alive !
Mad skills , thank you for showing us how to pay a perfect tribute to Neil Peart .

That was amazing, Neil must be smiling 😃 down.
I think its awesome that these young super talents can appreciate the greats from years past.This is what makes rock and roll great.Keep rockin Brooke!
I’m a huge Neil Peart fan and you nailed this great instrumental by Rush Brooke!
Neil is smiling down on you!
I never even came close...
go girl !
Neil is smiling...
I love the tone of these drums.
Outstanding young lady "archers" Doctor Krieger would be jelly!
Love the sound of your drums. I bet you spend every waking minute working out on learning and thinking up all kinds of ways. I could go on and on. Thank you young lady.
Simply fantastic! Great job. Neil would be proud.
Your amazing and don’t ever think any different. Keep up the chops.
You nailed it!! I was hoping you got to Rush (Neil Peart) eventually.
RUSH will live forever thanks to young musicians
Made my night. She is all about the music and art of a true legend...... Bravo!
Rock lives FOREVER.... with these wonderful young artists keeping it alive. GOD BLESS their folks for keeping the spirit alive amongst our younger ones !
That was impressive,,, Keep rockin!!!
I had a horrible day today, and this just improved it considerably. Well played.
This is such a beautiful tribute to Neil! I got to seem him a few times live, and it was a great privilege. Your performance was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing it!!
Absolutely fantastic Brooke you make it look so easy
For a drummer who plays covers, the gold standard is Rush. If you can play their covers you can play anything else! You are exceptionally talented.
Gooooood job Brooke! Magnificent interpretation of this difficult progressive rock track! You are more and more good in playing drums! 😀😀👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🇮🇹
I never thought that was possible to hear someone doing this song so precisely. Thanks, young lady. I'm crying on happiness.
Neil "The Professor" Peart would be proud of you. Very well done, Brooke.
You are very talented love watching you play, especially my favorite band RUSH! rest in peace Neil !!!
Very impressive for any artist... great performance!
This drummer is amazing!

She is an artist, and with the kit she has, SMOKIN!!!!
You're short about 47 drums. Otherwise, sounded perfect.
more like 147, some chimes and don't forget the GONG!
but other than that a damn good performance!
You obviously know jack shit about percussion, not the amount how ya replicate the timing
@@ufciceman9584 not if you want the sound he has, lmao.
Funny :)

Absolutely fantastic playing. Please keep playing
Great sounding kit.
I agree that snare is absolutely delicious
Pretty sure Neil Peart would like this rendition. Nice. 🥁
It's YYZed!!!!
