I was watching a YouTube video the other night, Drumeo's "The Genius of Rush's Tom Sawyer." The host, Brandon Toews, clearly poured himself into it. He, along with a handful of fellow drummers and musicians, took turns reverently breaking down what Neil Peart, Rush's incomparable drummer, did on that track. The way the song breathes and then detonates. It is a defiant, transcendent anthem of individuality. Watching it, I felt that thing Rush fans know. There's a reason we recognize each other.
