@tracybrauer Many thanks! This was supposed to be just a practice night, which made me loosen up and just have fun with it. Good thing the cameras were rolling.
@guilmon182 Thanks so much. I always hear little things here and there that I'd like to improve, but in the end I just have to let go and realize how much fun it is to play the drums.
You rviewings should be way up there in the hundred thousands or even millions,you are indeed an awesome drummer and your talents are 1 of a kind.Good luck John,maybe i'll see you 1 day in a band at Madison Square Garden......in NYC.
Bravo! Well done. Clean, smooth, and groovy. Nice to see/hear the waxing and waning of intensity through the piece. Your set and cymbals have a nice tone. Thanks for sharing.
This is so good on so many levels. Hearing it is great, but getting to see it from overhead is really impressive. Thanks for posting a really great cover of one my all-time favorite songs!
ur a killer john, a pleasure to watch.every (move a picture), always one of my top fav Rush tunes. nice to see u put the time in to it. keep bangin those skins buddy!
i came here from your musicians friend review expecting some one banging on a snare to show the tuning and got this :D great cover man!!!!! you snare sounds like gold!!!!! this sold me on it..... when i get money haha
@embalmers I agree about the snare sound on this one. I'm still learning the whole mixing thing, and I'm not really sure what happened on this mix. I think the snare needs more presence, so probably less overheads and more direct snare mic. For the kick, I actually didn't do much on this mix. I had it positioned right in the center of the drum, pointed at the corner, and tweaked the EQ for more click and less miss, then added light compression. I did a lot more on my latest cover of Freewill
@ghaziausaf On this one I used Digital Refernce miss on the toms, Apex 435 overheads, AKG D112 in the bass drum, and an SM-57 on the snare. Glad you liked it!
Just wow, man. Crushed it. Timing...fills....solid in the pocket. Sterling!
@bigsap Thanks man, much appreciated. And I'm always happy to introduce people to new Rush songs.
@MrOffmilk I'm glad you found this video, and thanks so much for your feedback!
You never cease to amaze me John! Just when I think it can't get any better.............., it get better!
Love you, Dad
