I bought Rush’s Exit Stage Left when I was in high school, upon recommendation from my guitar teacher. I was absolutely blown away by Neil Peart’s drumming, especially the solo in YYZ. In this video, a girl half my age takes on YYZ, not only playing drums, but triggering the song sections and adding in some stick flourishes to boot. I know I’m biased because I dig Rush, am awed by young talent, and am half Chinese… but all that aside, this is pretty good.
