      It seems like a natural progression to me. She started with Bonzo and mastered his patterns, then she figured out Steward Copeland's insanity. Neal Peart seemed like a logical peak to strive for. While she killed this song, I'd love to see her tackle some of the more challenging drum parts from Rush. I think she can do it!

However, a tiny correction: she was 10 years old, not 11. AFAIK, she's still at Elementary school. She played a little bit of YYZ recently. I think on a live stream? It was effortless for her. I was genuinely shocked. Happy New Year to You and Yours.

    I remember the first time I saw this little squirt YEARS ago when her channel started. I told my daughter "Watch this kid...She's gonna be playing YYZ someday and killing it." It just happened and it's oddly surreal to see Yoyoka 2 feet taller and murdering this song after Neil's unfortunate passing. Years later and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this young lady's talent.
