@@rocketcharger17 Ip Man may have been a better martial artist than Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee looked up to Ip Man, but Bruce Lee was the inspiration for modern martial artists much more than Ip Man was. Buddy Rich was someone Neil idolized. Heck, *I* idolize Buddy Rich now. But Neil reached a much wider audience and had a more direct influence to the music most of us here grew up with. I hadn't even heard of Buddy until years after Neil had given me my spark. "Better" =/= "more inspiring". Buddy was arguably the better drummer. But Neil was THE inspiration. And that's all I have to say on that.
So I've gone down the UA-cam rabbit hole tonight, and in the past hour I've watched Maria Barbieri cover YYZ on guitar, Anna Sentina cover it on bass, and you cover it on drums. You three would make the most amazing Rush cover band ever -- and I can't wait to show these to my daughter in the morning. I can show her the Rush in Rio DVD all day, but she pays twice as much attention when she sees a girl doing something she likes to do. She's only 5 and wants to learn an instrument, and I have no doubt this is really going to inspire her. Thank you!
Yes. The only thing needed would be a video insert of each girls in sado-masochistic dominatrix costume cracking the bull's whip at the appropriate moment in the song.
The proffesors job was never an easy one as you can see she does'nt smile as much here because of intense concentration. Meytal you just proved you can play anything. You are amazingly gifted. God bless.
Good, loving tribute to Neil Peart, himself. He will be missed by all who have remembered him and his brilliant drumming for the rock band Rush in his lifetime. Rest in peace.
Damn! I AM ALWAYS TAKEN BY HOW EASY THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN MAKES THIS LOOK! I been playing for decades, and many of these songs I used to take a ton of tries to get it! She makes me feel like a novice! AS SHE SMILES!! With that beautiful smile while playing, just to make it look even easier!! What a wonderful talent brought to us!
Wow, Oh My,Oh Dear, this is ever so enjoyable for a true Rush fan. And especially for people who idolize Neil Peart. Please do as many Rush songs as you can. Thank you.
I am almost 50 years old and I've been listening to Rush most of my life I think you are amazing and it's a pleasure to hear what you did in Neil pearts legacy
Huge Rush fan for many years & bigger Peart fan even. Anyone, and I mean anyone, who talks an ounce of shit about any of her covers is nothing more than a hater. It takes some major juevos, for most any drummer out there right now, to cover songs she has, and publicly. One thing I'm certain of. Anyone who has, or would throw up a cover video like this, could never match the true & obvious joy emitted thru the screen from her. Nahh. Be seeing nothing but concentration bordering on panic, as they attempt keeping up with The Professor. Keep kickin' ass, Meytal.
Damn Meytal that was freakin fantastic cranked up loud, sounds clean and of course your playing is spot on, saw this before, don't know if I commented, gotta love doing Neil songs, God rest his soul.
Been watching your covers for a little bit and I love how you can actually tell how much you were concentrating on this song. Not an easy task to nail this cover by any means and when you look at the camera a 2:22 and give a little "Oh My God, please let me smash the rest of this", it shows a quality of humility and also appreciation for what you know will be a highly viewed and critiqued video. Over 1.4 mil views as of right now! I think you nailed it as you always do, at least in the videos I've watched. Keep killin it!!
I responded a while back to a snarky commenter on a video of an eight-year-old girl playing her heart out covering (if I remember correctly) Spirit of Radio. The commenter was of the opinion that this kid had a long way to go to reach Neil's level. My response was A)who the fuck are you to judge anyone ( a CHILD, no less) who is doing their best to emulate a master and B) Neil himself, reiterating the words of Bob Dylan, said, "what more can you do for someone than to INSPIRE them?" As a devout Rush fanatic, it fills my heart with joy to see the masters of tomorrow being inspired by those WE grew up with.
I have become blown away at so many of these women that are so talented, holy shit these girls are amazing - I have such a level of deep respect, the absolute LOVE of music goes unrivaled - keep it up Meytal Cohen you're going places, as if you didn't know with 1.2 million subscribers +1 right here - you're amazing.
Not sure how anyone can deny this young woman the super-massive props she deserves for her talent, but there's always somebody out there haten!!!!, Meytal.... All your work is magic, but any cover you do of RUSH has to be on it to keep me in..... and I am all in. Much love..... and keep up the phenomenal work.
For me?.. That was frickin incredible! Neil Peart is a monster drummer! If you can play anything he's done you can pretty much play anything! Fair play to ya Meytal your officially a monster drummer hahaha you got chops :-D
Meytall Cohen, you are awesome. What a talent! I've been a RUSH fan for 40 years and have seen them more than 30 times. Great drum work on all your videos. You rock!!
I goofed around on the drums in a high school band playing rush, led zep, acdc. But was never this good!!! Sold my drums 26 yrs ago to get my wife an engagement ring and haven't played since. Wow, this is awesome and inspiring. Makes we want to go out and buy an old set just to play around again!!
She locks in very precisely. There is not the mechanical approach to merely copying the algorithm of Peart’s playing. This drummer seems to get the entire idea of what Peart wrote for himself. She’s a very rare talent and I hope she finds her own path and groove well into the future!! RIP Neil Peart. The greatest ever!!!!
Primus789 She's not holding them as lightly as you think. She's got a good solid grip with her thumb and forefinger. It's the other fingers that are loose.
Careful, Meytal, I think Krieger wants to clone you and/or chain you to his drum kit in Vanisphere mk.II. I mean, it just sounded like you nailed freaking' YYZ! Awesomesauce!
I have been a rush fan for over 30 years, went to the same school as Geddy and Alex (Go Northview Heights SS). I have been to Drum clinics and met the band. I will say that you have executed RUSH songs almost perfectly and Neil himself would be praising you right now. Keep it up, I have sent one of your singles to my uncle who works as a DJ for a rock station near Toronto.
I am so impressed whenever I watch a video of a drummer covering a Rush song. Neil was such an incredible drummer I sometimes think it would take a "normal" person having three arms to play like Neil!
yeah hes got a point stick twirlin and stick in the air, gotta have it .....not lol who gives a fuck about baton twirlin, ha ha gayeeeeeeeeee hope I didnt offend all the gayeeeeeees thats just my whatever his name is impression from the hangover.lol
you wanna really blow peoples minds throw 2 sticks in the air and catch them at the same time and dont fuck up , now that would take some concentration
Best part of the vid...is in the description: " I really had to concentrate to remember all the parts in this one (and shoot lots of takes before i nailed it)!" Honesty and humility will get you far , Meytal. Nice vid!
Nice job Maytal! Nailed it note for note! I've been wanting to learn this tune and your video will help me to break it down on the kit. You give justice to our gone but not forgotten drum hero Mr. Peart.
Everybody's comment is from like 3 years ago except from yours, RIP Neil. I said the same thing. Sad day. Lucky I saw them at their snakes and arrow tour 2007 right after graduating high school.
@@Calvin5318008 2007? I saw that tour as well. That, and 36 other times! Granted, I'm a lot older than you. But I wonder how you managed to miss them on the 2008 leg of Snakes and Arrows or the 2010 -- 2011 Time Machine Tour, or the 2012-13 Clockwork Angel's Tour and the 2015 R40 Tour????🤯 BTW, There have been tons of comments since Neil's death. You just have to select "view most recent" in the comment window.👌
@@HighPower762 I mean I don't go to a lot of concerts. But I'm happy I saw them. I like how in movies Rush is a common band that people love. Glad I was raised on classic rock. Most people I talk to aren't that interested in Rush.
if youre a guy and youre seriously complaining about what shes wearing then you need to question your sexuality. shes a boss ass drummer its not about the looks anyways but if you can complain about a good lookin girl rockin ass on drums then you have issues
I was curious at first, But After watching your videos. I am a believer. You're very talented and you make difficult songs look easy and your smile is amazing.
she's a beautiful girl but thats not the reason i watch her videos she has some serious talent like this song is pretty fucking hard to play and i would say she did a damn good job at playing it beat for beat so well done Meytal
Not too bad. It was pretty close with the exception that you rushed no pun intended a few times. Especially that last fill but I think you noticed that too. Totally digging it though!
Yeah, that 4:23 is sweet...and I smiled when you smiled....you nailed it...good job. The object is to handle this by "memory", and bring your skills to the party and you did that....and I'm a funk drummer....and that was funky.
Ok.... I've watched a few of you're cover videos, and I must say, mimicking Neal Peart like you just did was bad ass!.... in fact, you're bad ass! and you're hot!
Great job on the song. Well done, not a lot of mistakes at all. Wish I could have joined you on guitar. The girly men on here who keep commenting on her looks "taking away" from her performance and talent are crybaby boy losers. They hate that a hot chick can play drums and be twice the musician instead of being the dumbfounded groupie they all want her to be. Sorry children, she ain't impressed with you. You can't just buy a guitar and learn three bar chords, growling quaint teenage angst lyrics and pretend like you're a musician to impress her. She isn't buying it. You have to actually be somebody - and *that's* why you're pissed. They always get mad when girls aren't playing dumb, easily impressed and needy.
i can see where fushen is coming from. i personally feel this is a decent cover but there is a feel that i get from her playing that lacks focus and commitment perhaps. it all seems well played and she understands the song thoroughly but the special feel is missing I think
I didn't know stating my opinion about how someone plays makes me jealous but ok lol, I don't give a shit what you guys say that doesn't change what I think.
PulpFictionized ... Oh yes, lack of commitment, that Must be it. Sounds like she didn't even bother to sit down and learn the song at all. It sounds like she just put down an AC/DC beat and hoped for the best. I bet she has never even heard the song before and most likely has no idea who RUSH even is. (Feel free to add sarcasm to this entire post ... WOW, what a jealous lot some of you are ... just WOW.)
Neil is out of her league. Her feet have no concept of sixteenth-note subdivision. There are fills that are also very not right. There is a lot of Neil's nuance missing in this.
instead of being Mr perfect condescending asshat? why not just. dam good job, keep playing you'll get better! no, you gotta be one of those know it all asshats.
Just to clarify - this girl is clearly in her 20's, yet Neil Peart has been playing this song longer than she's been alive. One doesn't just play exactly like Peart, that's a ridiculous expectation.
I GOTTA tell you the truth!!! Today is the first time I see you on this because I even feel depressed when I hear this... that's NOT drumming.... this is ALGEBRA or quantum physics on drums... another like!!! IMPRESSED!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
shane campbell It's hard for some drummers to cover 70's/80's Peart because he was a total metronome until he studied with Gruber. So she's actually swinging or "breathing" over a song that had a "perfect time" performance.. it won't work. Most musicians (even trained) have variations in time which can be significant. Early rush has very little of that. And for most musicians it's next to impossible to play with a pure click without drifting. Peart can do it. And in certain situations- perfect time is not a good thing. But you have to hand it to her- it's not an easy song. She did well.
shane campbell ...fuck, now all I can hear are the parts that are off. And playing to a click is actually really, REALLY damn hard for a lot of musicians. Hell, I don't think that even the original track would match up perfectly to a click (if you listen to the isolated tracks, you can hear slight bleed from the guitar and bass since RUSH likes to track as a group, keep the drums and overdub everything later).
shane campbell I don't see you doing a YYZ RUSH cover!! Her cover is great, and it's in sync too, maybe you just have a problem with your computer or internet that's why you are having a hard time...
When I started down ur video rabbit hole the question immediately i asked myself. I bet I don’t find any Rush lol. Because Neal because it’s not super heavy but I’m glad I kept going and found this little nugget. Well done and kudos for stretching as a musician. If you don’t ever try to climb Everest you will never climb Everest. 👏🏼 Bravo!!
I love it. Keeping the classics going strong. My opinion, this is what UA-cam is about. Showing the world you rock. Takes guts to step into that song. With or without shoes.
Neal Peart was an inspiration to so many, think he was a Berkley grad. What a loss he was, Rush music will continue on. Geddy and Alex are left and doing well, but will miss him for the rest of thier lives.
Meytal, Your performance here of Rush' incredibly complex YYZ is by far your BEST PERORMANCE on UA-cam. If I could give you 1 million likes, I'd do so.
A very "Peart-worthy" tribute. Anyone that can play at a level that honour's Neil in this way is NOT "boring". Keep playing and enjoy it. Remember even RUSH had and has "haters"...ignore them. Thanks for posting.
Don't listen to the haters Meytal. When I first saw this, I was impressed that you played such a plethora of music genres. I grew up loving Rush. I hear the "echo" but I know that is a recording "glitch". If anyone was in that room, they would hear that you were spot on. You did say it took you a couple of takes (probably not but a few) to nail it. But nail it you did. Excellent job. Your Fans.
That was simply amazing. Instantly earned a subscriber with that performance. Also,I gotta say; your timing is impeccable, and you seem really natural behind a kit.
Your are an amazing drummer. I therally enjoy listening and watching you play drums! Can't wait to get your next album. I think your last album ROCKED 🥁
RIP Neil Peart - you were THE inspiration for drummers everywhere. Keep the dream alive, Meytal.
She looks better wearing tight jeans I love her small 😍😘 don't fight it let it happen love yeah mine mine mine 😍
OH HELL YEAH!
Mikey almost buddy
He was “some” inspiration
Lots of better Drummers if you look
Buddy Rich > Neil just for starters

Yes. The only thing needed would be a video insert of each girls in sado-masochistic dominatrix costume cracking the bull's whip at the appropriate moment in the song.
I meant to include that the dominatrix was to be Raquel Welch as she appeared in The Magic Christian.
but can any of them sing as high as Getty Lee?
@Sean Jeanes It's Geddy, Shawn
Somewhere up in heaven the Professor is watching this with a smile. Great job Meytal
As a drummer myself, Neal Peart is not easy to cover. Great job, well done!

he did but not wrong about covering Neil she did good
he is the greatest
Neal Peart stands alone.
But my hat off to that girl ,,, my respect,,,,pero mis respetos para esta chica

It’s because Neil was the most technically perfect percussionist ever! A hard act to follow, but she did pretty darn good.

I didn't know stating my opinion about how someone plays makes me jealous but ok lol, I don't give a shit what you guys say that doesn't change what I think.
PulpFictionized ... Oh yes, lack of commitment, that Must be it. Sounds like she didn't even bother to sit down and learn the song at all. It sounds like she just put down an AC/DC beat and hoped for the best. I bet she has never even heard the song before and most likely has no idea who RUSH even is. (Feel free to add sarcasm to this entire post ... WOW, what a jealous lot some of you are ... just WOW.)
Neil is out of her league. Her feet have no concept of sixteenth-note subdivision. There are fills that are also very not right. There is a lot of Neil's nuance missing in this.
instead of being Mr perfect condescending asshat? why not just. dam good job, keep playing you'll get better!
no, you gotta be one of those know it all asshats.
Damn! I went to Joe's channel to see how awesome HE does it but couldn't find his video. Oh well.
Judging by your comment, can we assume we'll find a video of YOU mirroring Neil's performance of YYZ to perfection? LOL
Just to clarify - this girl is clearly in her 20's, yet Neil Peart has been playing this song longer than she's been alive. One doesn't just play exactly like Peart, that's a ridiculous expectation.
+Eatinbritches joes an air drummer, air drummers are perfect sounding haha fucking joe the tool.
I GOTTA tell you the truth!!! Today is the first time I see you on this because I even feel depressed when I hear this... that's NOT drumming.... this is ALGEBRA or quantum physics on drums... another like!!! IMPRESSED!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
as always, a very good job. Ms. Cohen is a very talented individual and always a pleasure to watch play.
shes off time trust me.
this cover would of been better if she was playing to a click
shane campbell Try listening to her original stuff she's amazing. And the YYZ sounds great.
shane campbell It's hard for some drummers to cover 70's/80's Peart because he was a total metronome until he studied with Gruber.
So she's actually swinging or "breathing" over a song that had a "perfect time" performance.. it won't work. Most musicians (even trained) have variations in time which can be significant. Early rush has very little of that. And for most musicians it's next to impossible to play with a pure click without drifting. Peart can do it. And in certain situations- perfect time is not a good thing.
But you have to hand it to her- it's not an easy song. She did well.
shane campbell ...fuck, now all I can hear are the parts that are off. And playing to a click is actually really, REALLY damn hard for a lot of musicians. Hell, I don't think that even the original track would match up perfectly to a click (if you listen to the isolated tracks, you can hear slight bleed from the guitar and bass since RUSH likes to track as a group, keep the drums and overdub everything later).
shane campbell Where is your cover of this song? ....I'll wait....exactly..
shane campbell I don't see you doing a YYZ RUSH cover!! Her cover is great, and it's in sync too, maybe you just have a problem with your computer or internet that's why you are having a hard time...
When I started down ur video rabbit hole the question immediately i asked myself. I bet I don’t find any Rush lol. Because Neal because it’s not super heavy but I’m glad I kept going and found this little nugget. Well done and kudos for stretching as a musician. If you don’t ever try to climb Everest you will never climb Everest. 👏🏼 Bravo!!
Watched this one a million times!! Always great!!
I love it. Keeping the classics going strong. My opinion, this is what UA-cam is about. Showing the world you rock. Takes guts to step into that song. With or without shoes.
Pure Awesomeness!! ...as a life long fan of Rush, you nailed it!! I can't wait to see your other Rush song covers! Neil would be proud!!
Wow! Thank you! I'm a Canadian that bought this "album" when it was released... Great drumming Meytall !!!
American One Productions Rehearsal and Drum Studios in NJ gives two huge thumbs up 👍🏻🥁👍🏻
FLAWLESS. Thank you for this
The snare and kick 😍
You are a great drummer🥁🥁🥁🥁
Awesome tribute to the late great Neil Peart and YYZ aka the “Six” aka my home Toronto
Neal Peart was an inspiration to so many, think he was a Berkley grad. What a loss he was, Rush music will continue on. Geddy and Alex are left and doing well, but will miss him for the rest of thier lives.
anyone that can keep up with Neil Peart is talented
.. period
are you using a heel-toe method for your double kick pedal? and also what brand are your cymbals and pedal equipment?
Neil Peart is my all time favorite drummer. You my lady have just impressed the he'll outta me!! Well done!
Meytal,
Your performance here of Rush' incredibly complex YYZ is by far your BEST PERORMANCE on UA-cam. If I could give you 1 million likes, I'd do so.
ST\tunning gal, and awesome job on yyz, timing is great, great sounding kit
A very "Peart-worthy" tribute. Anyone that can play at a level that honour's Neil in this way is NOT "boring". Keep playing and enjoy it. Remember even RUSH had and has "haters"...ignore them. Thanks for posting.
Don't listen to the haters Meytal. When I first saw this, I was impressed that you played such a plethora of music genres. I grew up loving Rush. I hear the "echo" but I know that is a recording "glitch". If anyone was in that room, they would hear that you were spot on. You did say it took you a couple of takes (probably not but a few) to nail it. But nail it you did. Excellent job. Your Fans.
This is the best video I've seen all night. You (almost) nailed it. The smiles made it all the better.
That was simply amazing. Instantly earned a subscriber with that performance. Also,I gotta say; your timing is impeccable, and you seem really natural behind a kit.
Your are an amazing drummer. I therally enjoy listening and watching you play drums! Can't wait to get your next album. I think your last album ROCKED 🥁
