...and THIS is why the US is falling behind... LOL

[AZhitman]

Probably a repost, but I'm a big Rush fan, and I really like "YYZ" (a great instrumental).

And of course, Neal Peart is one of the greatest drummers to ever live...

...except here's an 11-year old girl making it look like a walk in the park.

Holy damn! that's awesome!

[RCA]

So excelling in the musical arts means the US is falling behind?

IDK how you put those two together but yeah, that girl can definitely rock out.

EDIT:After reading people's resonces I might of realized what you meant...Assuming she isn't from the US, then yes if a young girl could rock out like this in (some where in Asia) then yes the US has some serious catching up to do. I made the asumption that she was from the US and figured why this would mean the US is slacking in education...

how do people remember which one is where and how to time it and how to strike it the right strength at the right spot? f*** man im a waist of a human being. thanks Greg now i feel like a pos lol

[Dattebayo]

Okay, now I wanna be sick.

First of all, you dismiss us as being behind simply because what, she's a female that has kicks or that we apparently have no good drummers? You know that old saying that music kids are supposed to be great at math? Bullsh*t.

Besides, throwing those sticks around like that takes practice. Those kids just simply have no other lives other than to play. I'm sure I would jam all day too if had an overbearing family and a cultural imperative making me study all the time.

[ScrapMetal]

^^^ This, but holy s*** that was incredible!

[Looneybomber]

Anyone else think her smile is so forced it actually looks scary?

f*** man im a waist of a human being. thanks Greg now i feel like a pos lol

[Xdisaster240sX]

YYZ FTW! It sounds stupid in that version though. I love Rush.

[krash]

.....now selling drum my drum set.........

[r34 gtr]

Good to know we have the makings of an awesome Rush cover band. That girl is awesome, she has mastered the "brain-melting, panty-disintegrating" drum solo by age 13. I hope never to anger her, for her revenge will be swift and devastating.

[AppleBonker]

YYZ FTW! It sounds stupid in that version though. I love Rush.

It did almost sound like a midi, but I wasn't paying much attention. YYZ is quite excellent, but I'll take anything off 2112 over anything from moving pictures. Passage to Bangkok gets me in trouble while I'm driving.

Nice find, Greg. I've never seen this before.

[Dattebayo]

Bangkok

[angrypenguin182]

haha, as a drummer my self i am put to shame, and i think you're wrong he's not "one of the best" i believe he IS the best. My favorite will always be Barker, idc what people say, i dont think he is nearly as good as many others, but still my favorite

there's a 4 year old black kid on youtube covering chop suey on drums and pretty much also put me to shame

[Solar_Runner]

Wow - I had a great time just by watching how much she enjoyed what she was doing.

I wonder if she'll keep up with her drumming through Med School? Dad must be pretty hip to let her play the drums instead of classical piano.

[Xdisaster240sX]

For those of you who dont know Neil Peart. Prepare to change you undies.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Rush is my favorite band. I have YYZ as my ringtone.f***in love it.

[Xdisaster240sX]

NO ONE will ever be as big as a fan as my dad. Hes been to every concert in Maryland, PA, and VA. His livingroom is a rush museum. He has the most rare of rare things by rush, EXPENSIVE signed pictures, a bunch of Neils sticks, One of Alex's signed guitars and the list can go on and on. Its nuts. I think he is either in love or he as Rush OCD.

[Solar_Runner]

I just about tore the right side of my Mustang off, coming home from a Rush concert in 1979... it was a great show from a great band. My 22 year old and 16 year old are into them now, but my other two passed them bye.

[Xdisaster240sX]

Dude, Im 23 and have been going for many years. Their not MY favorite but they are some the the best concerts I have ever seen.

I do love "limelight" and "Time stand still" though.

If you're impressed by drumming, check out Danny Carey of Tool. I tried to find a good video of him playing Lateralus, but didn't see any on youtube. There are sections of the song where he's playing in a different time signature from the rest of the band (5/8 versus 6/8 I believe), and they change time signatures frequently. To be honest, I've had a debate raging in my head over the last 6-8 years as to who was a better drummer, Peart or Carey.

[numbnuts240]

the best drummer EVAR!!!!!!!!

[Xdisaster240sX]

Well...I know their 2 different genres but I cant decide who is better imo, Neil Peart or Travis Barker.

[Jesda]

For everyone one of those, there's 10 of these:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ

So, don't worry, America is fine. (I also love this video don't tell anyone).

[hannibal]

That little girl is freakin awesome!

And there is plenty of room for good drummers on this planet. Yall just have some catching up to do lol!

You feeling a bit jealous there Murph?!?

Holy crap. Neil Peart is awesome!

[Xdisaster240sX]

This 7yr old will murder that girl.

Well, on the tv there are red, green, yellow, orange, and blue dots that you have to press when they line up with the line at the bottom of the screen

As much as I love Peart, Portnoy is my all-time favorite:

Barker's overrated, IMO.

The kid from A7X was amazing too.

Dave Mackintosh is probably right behind Portnoy in my "favorite drummers to listen to" list.
