This is my version of YYZ by the Canadian power trio, Rush. While I did not stay true to the original, my hope is that the viewer sees that I tried to veer off the path just enough to express a Peart-influenced originality. I hope the viewer does not take my departure as disrespectful as my attempt was not to merely mimic the Professor but to draw on his influence in the percussive arts and apply it to my own work. In case it wasn't obvious, my kids did not actually play on this recording. I needed something to break the monotony of staring at my ugly mug. Also, I needed something to fill in the bass solo breaks. Being that I'm not much of a stick twirler and the ceiling was too low for a good stick toss, the boys had to step up to the plate. Hope they made you laugh like I did. Technical: Roland Vdrums, TD-10 brain with a TD-7 connected via MIDI for extra inputs. Roland triggers: 5 toms, 1 snare, 2 kicks, 3 crash, 1 ride, 1 HH, 2 PD-7, 1 PD-9. I have a Pentech splash and a Visu-Lite china. The Roland SPD-S was used to trigger all sounds and music that was broken in to chunks and triggered in real time. The audio was recorded on a Boss BR-8. Cameras used: Kodak Zi8 HD, Nikon D90 DSLR in video mode, Canon ZR500, Nikon Coolpix and the overhead shot was done on an iPhone 4. You will note the resolution mis-matches from all the various cameras. Thanks for watching SDG
