(This was by request) This is one of Rush's most difficult and action-packed songs...and one of my all-time favorites! After many practice runs, I recorded this in one take up to last 10 seconds of the song (which is another take) I played some sections and fills from different "live" versions of this song. Overall, I'm happy with it. Some of you will notice I have a new crash cymbal...It's a 16" Paiste Signature series Power Crash. I think It sounds amazing..I'm really digging the "signature" series Paiste line. I went from being 95% sure on that 2002 ride to about 60% lol. I'm looking into a "signature" line ride now. Ridiculous, I know, but I just want the perfect ride sound!...I hear it in my head, the 2002 was close. I am sold on the Paiste crashes though. My set-up will consist of a combination of Paistes and Paragons. Anyway, re-posts of YYZ and Natural Science are next!
Peace,
Ray
BTW, please excuse the cheesy cinematic "title sequence" I didn't want to cut out any of the song and I figured it's better that looking at me just sit there!
