Great clip!

Thanks for that. I've seen/heard a number of things from the BR tributes. I think it's fascinating to hear these great drummers sounding just like themselves while emulating BR. ;-)

Peart was brilliant--I don't know anyone else who can play with such precision and still sound human rather than machine-like.

BR himself played with more abandon, taking more risks, and using about 49 kinds of stroke to coax even more sounds out of the snare drum. (NP would do well to use a coated batter head at these tributes!) I actually think Peart sounded most BR-like in the ensemble parts of the clip--his setups were set in stone. Fantastic.

I love all these guys. Each has his own drum personality and is bringing that to his own kind of music. I don't think either BR or NP could possibly lay down a groove that sounds as sleazy as one of Stanton Moore's, or one with as much color in the snare drum. But I don't care--I enjoy them all for what they are.
