Attempt? Even The Professor didn't have to time the intervals between the songs. You, sir, are the best of the best. Truly phenomenal.
The Professor lives through you. Thank you very much.
Cheers from Argentina!
Please do a brain scan so that I can see what parts of your brain are hyper stimulated to make such incredible music. I’m amazed, in awe, and inspired.
Attempted and accomplished my young friend! THANK YOU! Seeing HOW The Professor DID what he did and with such precision and focus is inspiring indeed! Thank you Sterling. You are a rare gem!
You are an amazing drummer. How three young guys were able to write and compose this masterpiece, I'll never know. Truly amazing.
Hot damn. I remember when you did 2112 the song and I thought there’s no way he could do the full thing. And you did. Hats off to you 🎩👌🏼
Lmao so you’re saying you saw him PERFECTLY cover 2112 and then thought there’s no way he could do the rest of the album? The man already showed he’s more than capable of killing it; what on earth made you think he couldn’t do the rest of the album?! 😂
You are an underestimated drummer. More people should know of you. Keep at it!
Wonderful, makes me realise what a privelidge it was to see Rush on their (too few) visits to the UK. Signals was my first ever concert , I was 14. Yet 40 years later their music provides me with the same wonder, and fulfillment as it did then. Its been the soundtrack to most of my life. This amazing display just shows how much work went into the music they made. Thank you Sterling, you made this 2 years ago, I don't know if you will ever see this - but you keep the spirit of Niel alive.
Attempt sucessful!!!!
The 70's didnt have You Tube and I didnt have more then a 6 piece.
Splash cymbal.. Seriously?
Learned 2 play by covers, usually playing most of the LP
Very impressive Sterling.
Love the overhead shot.
Great mix. The Professor is missed.
Same here. Played it for hours in my basement in the 70s to the album. Both sides. on a 6 piece. When I added Roto Toms I was in heaven
This guy is amazing. I will share so non believers can appreciate how amazing Neil will always be.
Neil in heaven could not be more proud of your awesome rendition of his playing i am sure…… Awesome Job my friend to one of the best albums ever recorded to tape… Thanks from Yucaipa California 🎶🎶🎶!!
This is nutty, color me impressed!
If rush ever needs a replacement you’re definitely the guy for the job !!!
Just think if Rush lost this gamble ,No spirit of radio, No Closer To the heart, No limelight, No freewill!
I like to believe Alex and Getty told him to do this to prepare for his touring with them...
Between him and pauliewanna..no doubt the best. And yes, they will be touring again 💯👍🥁
As someone who did this same thing everyday-and never got it right- I can appreciate the mastery of artistry in your playing. Bravo.
Random guy interviewing me: so what can you do?
Me: I can drum along to the whole album of Rush 2112 in one sitting
You have the true feel
This is so useful for learning to play the songs! Keep it up!
Watching you makes me realize how great neil really was
Quite right sir.. concert footage and a few of Neil's tutorials doesn't do it like this overhead view.. I mean come on for chrissakes my man just played the entire album 🥁 💥🥁💥
I remember as a young lad, I tried to play to this album. Uhhhh, still waiting to figure it out 38 years later. 😄
Great!
As a kid, this album really blew my mind. It was so heavy and intense. Nicely done!
Love the way you go ape shit crazy at the end of 2112 just before the start of A Passage to Bangkok
I will be going to bed with reverse lock jaw! I can't keep it closed now! Spot on!!Amazing!!🤘
Has Derxt and Lerxst seen this?
You could be the new Pratt
Successful. My compliments. Surprised you hadn't covered this earlier. When I saw it up thought it might be a bass cover. :-) I nearly fell out of my seat a few weeks back with the Limelight vid. Keep it up. You've honored the professor. Your overhead cam, terrific technique and perfect covers are a primer if one wants to see exactly how these exacting parts were precisely played. Happy New Year to you Sterling and Thanks
What a mind blowingly awesome performance!!!🤘😄
2112 is fantastic album!!! Overture is my favorite part in drum!
You're a beast. Great job Sterling!
Idk how many times I heard this album and performed some of it. You were flawless all the way through!! WHOA!!! Bravo!!!
DAMN mate!!! Absolute perfection!!!💯💯💯👍👍👍
Wonderful you aced incredible hard stuff
thanks. I needed that this morning (here)
sorry - could only give 1 👍
He finally did it. He is finally living in a fisheye lens, caught in the camera eye. It’s too bad I’m a stranger though.
From start to finish. Thank you so much for sharing. I watch you every day, you're amazing. ❤
Grand finale whaaaaat tf crazy Good !
Outstanding.....
Very nicely done Sterling!!
SIMPLY PHENOMENAL Sterling!!!
Damn...Now that was thoroughly enjoyable!
I cant believe Im sayin this, but you're good enough to stand in for Neil if Alex and Geddy ever got the notion to play again as a band.
Well done sir. 😁👍
Zero dislikes !! you can go to Toronto tomorrow Sterling ! haha
Love the deep reverb on 2112
Stewart Copeland is his best friend, but he never got it and if Stewart can’t watch this video, he needs a major wake up call even though he’s an incredible drummer he cannot hold a candle to the composition of these songs and I truly love Stuart Copeland
I think you have the best Neil Peart covers on the internet, and this one is over the top. I respectfully have to say I feel the snare is mixed in a bit too loud....
@@chrissmith3668 pauliewanna isn't too shabby either..he does some stick twirling and whatnot... The Weapon is his best 👍🥁
Jesus. RIP NEIL. You are proud in heaven with LOVE ❣️... This man has blood in in soul. 4ever NEIL PEART. RIP GREAT SOUL. Thank you for this tribute. #AMAZING
I really want to see you recording the full album drum cover of Rush: Vapor Trails, you know?
It’s crazy to hear how Neil’s style changed only one year after he joined Rush!
@@jaybee9269oh yeah but I’m talking about after Fly By Night was released
So solid. I love watching your covers. When I need to figure out a part I actually watch your videos sometimes! Hahaha! Is it possible to tune those 6”, 8” and 10” higher. It may sound like crap. Just wondering. Rest of the kit sounds incredible!
your one n a million that has the talent to play this, thank you for recognizin the music of how good it is to attempt it>>>joe, i worked many nights in a kitchen listening to this too keep up the pace of the work, thank you for showing us this from this view point, I hope you have a great life, you made my day;)
Brilliant!!!! The *only* issue I have with this video is you didn't get up to turn the record over after 'Grand Finale'. :) lol Awesome video! Thanks for doing this!!!!
Ohh my gawd! This is epic!
Beyond words.
Meu amigo, que aula...parabéns!
RIP Neil Peart! My mentor. My strangest friend.
Marvelous! Thanks for making all of these covers Mr. Fuentes!
You are truly talented my friend. 🤘🏼
Awesome jam!!
very good work
Incredible job, Sterling. Your covers are always just incredible. It’s really cool to see your kit evolve over time. What snare is that? Is that the Aztec Red Snakes & Arrows Snare, that you talked about on Instagram? RIP Neil. Can’t believe, it’s been a year already since he passed. Time is a scary thing. Hopefully 2021, will be better than 2020 (crossing my fingers, lol). Edit: Man, the last part of my comment aged badly. 2021 was bad, maybe even as bad as 2020.
Fantastic❤
My mind is blown
Awesome mate.
Incredible!!
Outstanding! Wow, I couldn’t stop watching. You have achieved unbelievable success in your Rush endeavors.
WOW a joy to watch !
BRAVO!
Amazing!!
This is awesome. I wasn't sure you could top your most recent run through "La Villa Strangiato"...whoops!
And "Tears" is still my least favorite song of the Broon era.
Muito bom ❤
Hey man! Your an amazing drummer and i think Neil Peart would be proud to see you play Rush’s songs! Also i was wonder if you could make a video on how you tune your bass drum as well as what technique you use for the kick cause my kicks are very inconsistent when i play. Thanks for considering! Have a good one!
Fan fuchin tastic!
Wow even side B!!!
Amazing job bud....keep rockin'
Nice!!!
Great attempt!
Love this. Only criticism I have is the roto could have been tuned higher. Otherwise, spectacular!
Dude, you could go on tour with them.
Muito bom!!
Our Journey Ends with This! Every Cover was Exquisite! TYVM Sterling!!! Even Riding The Crash! I can't describe The Joy I feel watching You NAIL IT!!! \m/ \m/ PLZ contact me when you're ready for Work!
Neil Peart would be PROUD
I hope rush gives you a call...
This is incredibly good! I'm curious to know how big that file size was though... :)
Dude.
Eres un increíble Baterista... sobretodo si haces Cover del mejor baterista de la historia Neil Peart
Jeez! It takes me like 30 tries to just get 1 song but it seems like you didn't have much room for mistake because it's a 40 minute video. How many redos did this take you? (you don't have to answer if you don't want to 😊) Anyways, great work and keep it up!
Kid!! You have an AWESOME ear!! Always wear earplugs!! K?
Watching your videos makes me wish i didnt sell my drums. I couldve played to your videos on my 60” tv now and picked up alot from your playing. I used to play these songs when i was a kid but not near as good as you
I presume he fashioned his drum set to be just like Neil Peart’s. No wonder why it is so close-sounding to Neil’s. Nevertheless, awesome!! Sterling. I can only guess how much money you spent to have a drum sit, like you have.
How do you know when to start drumming when the very start of the next song has drums in it? This is incredibly cool by the way!
Geddy Lee said it was a mind bending experience when the the drum tracks were introduced 💯🌲🥁🥁
I just noticed you play with sticks that have no tips on them.
what hi hats do you use?
So so drummer here..Binge watching this cats channel and had to take a break when this came up next. Party favors and Bacardi rum. Should I put my kit on ebay?? Fk me he's good 💯👍🥁🥁😍
Only Sterling would be willing to keep Discovery in there just for the sake of playing the entire album from start to finish. Wonderful work!
