Ex-Whitesnake drummer Brian Tichy performs “Limelight” by Rush on a Speedbag.
Enjoy!
Rush rules! That’s that! Limelight rules!
Neil, Alex, and Geddy rule!
I had the good fortune to open for them with Vinnie Moore (and John JD DeServio for BLS) Back in 1991 on the Roll The Bones tour.
Mr. Peart graciously let this kid play his kit at Madison Square Garden! (Still a total highlight of my life!)
Since Tom Sawyer kicked my ass in 7th grade, Neil Peart has been one of my top 2 all time favorite drummers!
Listen to the 7/8 gtr solo section of La Villa Strangiato!! One of the baddest grooves ever created!! I could go on forever! Anyhow, I haven’t practiced the fine art of Speed Bagging or Punch Drumming (playing the bag in time) in years, but it’s sort of like riding a bike or playing the drums…
So I was determined to, with no miss-hits, get through the mighty LIMELIGHT before I go on tour. Well, I lost it at the very end while “pulling rope” boxer style, but hey!, it was the ending of like the 100th take! It’s good enough for now! Hope YA dig it! If you’re into drums, Rush and sweatin’ it up, put a speed bag in your garage, buy Alan Kahn’s Speed Bag Bible, go watch some Speed Bag Skunk (Zack Ruffo) and get to work!
BAG ON!!!!!💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. . “
