@@RockbertoRocks the goal was to respect the performance and sound as is .. but I did add in his two Tom stomp near the fade at the end .. he only does it live as on the LP it’s just two kicks while he plays the ride .. but I like the stomp as he made it a part of the song live, and maybe I’m just used to it bc I listened to Exit stage left so much.🥁👍🏼
Having played TS countless times in the 80s and 90s, I can say that once again, it’s reaffirmed - Brian is the man. He is also one of the few that can play Bonham grooves well.
Appreciate the behind the kit view. Makes is sooo much easier to learn the patterns whereas as most drum covers are front view making it harder to reverse visualize the strokes.
Caught it! Learned from it! And loved it! Always a pleasure to watch / listen to your mastery on this awesome instrument we play. Even greater to see your talent honor The Professor in such a beautiful way - note for note with all the nuances and dynamics. As I mentioned “I learned” today that you are more of a wrist player than manipulating the sticks with just the fingers. I can hear the weight this adds to the impact on the drums. So many great comments but if I can add to the mix Brian, EVERY SINGLE TIME I see you behind the kit, you are playing with an awareness that others wished they had your gifts and you perform in such a way as one of us rather than above us. A lot of guys with your ability would sort of project almost a rightful arrogance. Not the end of the world really, but you just have always been the real deal. And I’ll say it for all of us: YOU inspire US still because YOU are still on your journey. You love this instrument like it’s your first time behind the kit always when you perform and you respect your fans and your craft by playing like it’s your last time behind the kit whenever you perform. My top three rock drummers that have made an impact and inspire EVERY time I hear them: Neil Peart, Pat Torpey, and you man. Thank you for this great performance Brian. My wife is making me clean the house and part of it is moving these heavy cast bronze R50 snare drums I have to honor Neil. If you ever need to borrow one for your work or shows, just hit me up. It’ll cost you a cup of coffee lol. It would be an honor to hear how you are inspired by these drums. I didn’t see any companies or organizations doing anything about the 50th Anniversary for Rush, so I made them myself. Hit me up if you ever need to borrow one - I’m in Orange County and can deliver them to Los Angeles no problem. It would be an honor to compliment your sound.

Thank you for all the kind words! It means a lot! I always strive to get better and know there’s always tons more room above you. I’m on a constant path to get to where dreams lead you, and if I don’t ever get there, at least I tried and had fun while trying. No need for arrogance, as there’s so many colors in the crayon box you just hope your color is chosen! I have a long friggin’ way to go and I’m now about 25 years behind schedule! But all we can do is try and hope solid effort takes you to the next plateau and give you new opportunities that create whatever success is to you, and be able to pay the damn bills so you focus on being creative. Now, a bit older, and definitely older than younger, I can honestly say … life is far too short…. There’s too much amazing stuff to experience and never enough time. And then there’s the extremely rare occurrence like Rush, who create something so unique that only those 3 could have done, you see life has extremely high potential and is virtually limitless, and when it’s over, it’s over, so make the most of it as much as possible! And .. Drum On! 🥁👍🏼

That was awesome! Way to go, @Brian Tichy. Last time I saw you was with The Dead Daisies around 2019 I think at The Gas Monkey Bar & Grill. I came this close to meeting Doug Aldrich while you were doing a drum solo but he was in a conversation with a couple people and I'm not a fanboy. One day!
Best of the season and best of the drums! I'd love to see Brian play the classics and new music with Geddy and Alex. Big shoes to fill but that would be wild!
@@shawnbruce6934 Yes, Brian is very technical but plays with soul. Too may of these modern phenoms play too much like machines and lack feel. Best wishes to you Shawn!
Brian you are starting to creep up to be my fav. Drummer!!! Ever since "Love Will Set You Free" (Awesome drumming on that one) Plus I love your style of playing.
1981. I remember hearing Tom Sawyer like in 6th or 7th grade grammar school and was mesmerized as a kid! Brian.....Nailed it to Tee !! Note for note man. Snare replicating the Professors. Kit sounds great. Excellent job !!! 👋
Neil never made things easy for himself. That spirit of pushing his boundaries all the time, really cool. Nice playing matching his intensity through the breakdown. Thanks for sharing!
BRIAN!!! We've met several times over the years as I'm a good friend of George Lynch...also friends with Doug Aldrich....Last time I saw/talked to you was on one of the latest MORC's...anyway, been a fan for quite some time so I def wanted to check this out!!! Ironically, another good friend of mine, KEN MARY, just recently posted himself doing this plus a couple of other RUSH songs, as he is a huge RUSH/PEART fan. Seek and ye shall find and see what you think!!! GOOD JOB, MAN!!!
You always have such dedication and respect on these drum cover videos - appreciate the work you put into this! Yours is the only drum channel I faithfully watch.
everything sounds incredible B! perfect tom tuning, I'm loving that 2002 16" but that snare is sheer perfection. I can't recall hearing anything similar in a very long time. Very nice work.
Thank you very much! I did put considerable time into the tuning, gaffing and mixing of the snare. I bugged out for a couple days recording it trying to tune to his pitch. Then it was too ringy and when you add gaff tape that changes the dominant harmonics and that’s when I got closer and could hear it clearer. But , then there is eq and compression , and the overheads picking it up and the bottom snare mic, (which I gated to get a super quick decay). Neil’s snare tone is very elusive on Moving Pictures. And there’s also a healthy amount a reverb added on, which I don’t hear on the rest of his kit .. anyhow, I geek out pretty hard because the impact of the sound is all part of the final effect you want to have on the listener ! Drum on! 🥁👍🏼
This is what I thought I looked like while air drumming on my couch, connected to the record player via headphones. My dad looked in awe while he read the paper.
Yes!! Finally another who got the third of the four drum fills correct... FIVE 32nds before the left-handed crash. So many YT covers of TS are missing that. Doing those 'weak' hand crashes was something Neil was very into, particularly on Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. Almost every song seems to have one at some point. Well done B! 👍
Thanks! Yes, the left crash on 3rd BIG FILL. I noticed that as a kid becuase he did it so much, but yes, lots of people miss that. Also skipping over the 12” Tom to the 13” in Fill 1. That’s something I didn’t know until much later , like less than 10 years ago when I started digging into his drumming a bit more since high school..
@@BrianH020 yes it’s one of his coolest parts of the kit. He treats his concert as their own entity .. and he cranks the closed 12” up higher than the 12” concert , and it just rages when he plays it .. I used to think he was going up to the 10” when I was a kid and practiced the parts like that! So , anyhow , to keep a roll descending in pitch , a la fill 3 in YYZ, and fill 1 in TS, he has to skip the closed 12”! Love it !!🥁👍🏼
Ha.. thanks .. I love playing it all and digging in, but it envelops me and gives me high anxiety !! I know I can do it , but I keep doing it until I know I can’t kick anything out about it ! I’m a worse critic than anyone out there! There are 2-3 things I did or didn’t do in this take that no one will bring up .. and they aren’t important enough for me to not accept this take .. well , it does bother me that I didn’t nail the rim shot on the first snare of the end fill of part 2 of the gtr solo, … there’s a couple hidden things in this track that you only hear when listening to the isolated track .. and if they are played too prominently , it actually sounds wrong, so I chose to leave out because it’s small .. anyhow…. With that kind of thought prices to respect The details , it just starts to take over my days .. and then I start asking myself “why am I doing this. I need a life “ ha … But I do like trying to nail something that inspired me and greatly affected me from the first time heard it and still does to this day! But , it’s not my world , not my drum parts, not my band , I’m just a fan .. so to sit in that chair is a tall order , to me , even if it’s just a little cover version… it’s means a lot to me .. and it does inspire me to get my shit together and get my music done .. so right now , no, ht I could change my mind .. 👍🏼🥁
@@Briantichydrums KEEP Doing IT!!!! It is a Tall Order I know! Your videos have been serious tutorials that have helped me to keep pushing after 35 years of drumming. I appreciate it!
Neil’s drum parts were compositions. I noticed this early on when I was a kid. Fills developing every chorus into sections etc. I still think about his concept when coming up with parts.
Yup, I always noticed that especially like in the open hi hat B section “the world is…” where he busies it up the second time with additional kick drum syncopations and leaves more holes the first time. I made note of this as a kid and think like that whenever I’m recording and it makes sense, which is quite often! Neil rules!
Love how Brian plays it the way it is accurately... no overplaying, no extra hits... just perfect 🤘

@@Briantichydrums 4:18 I caught that and smiled like a fool.
Brian is absolutely amazing. 😎
One of the cleanest and accurate covers I’ve seen of this song!!! Brilliant!!!

1,000 covers of this on UA-cam. THIS is the way it should be played. Broon, are you watching?
Appreciate the behind the kit view. Makes is sooo much easier to learn the patterns whereas as most drum covers are front view making it harder to reverse visualize the strokes.

Spot on Brian!❤🔥
Absolutely love this bro!!! Great job 👏
Great drumming right there. Nailed it 👍🏻
AWESOME JOB !!!!! KEEP UP THE AMAZING-WORK !!!!
That would be a killer tune to bag to. (A tough one too.)
When watching Brian play on That Metal Show was real cool, but watching him do Bonham, to me?? So damn close and good....Peart, great job too!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed it!
That's why you're one of my favorite drummers

As always Brian you knocked out of the park
This guy is the Whiz and nobody beats The Whiz!!!!!🤘
Fantastic brother man! 😊🤙
Brian, inspirational! Thanks 🙏
Nailed it. Great playing brother
The Master does it again! Perfect!!
Ok someone who plays it in the right way like our drummer…not many. Nice playing!
The number one reason I absolutely love kits like this is where it puts my ride cymbal, off to the right, NOT front and close
I used to hang with Brian in Ridgefield Park NJ back in the 90's.
Brian, The Best!!!! 🤩
If Rush ever decides to do a few more shows they should hire Brian!
Awesome cover, loved it so much!! Reminds me how much I need to practice!!!
Awesome Brian.
