QUIZ: Guess the RUSH song by its drum parts only - 10 songs

Guess these 10 RUSH songs just by watching their drum parts.

Neil Peart is considered one of the greatest drummers of all time. He has influenced thousands of drummers around the globe, and for many, like myself, he is the number one. He has composed and performed some of the most memorable drum parts in rock music.

His is known and respected not only because of his drumming skills, but also because of his musicality, creativity and lyrics, since he was Rush's lyricist and a excellent writer with several books published. Unfortunantely he has passed away in 2020, but his legacy will live on.
Rush fans, especially Neils' fans, can recognize a song immediately when they listen to his memorable drum parts, and some of these fans can identify a song just by watching a drummer plays them, even with no sound!
I have selected 20 Rush song intros, and I invite you to guess which song I am playing. If it's too easy for you, I suggest you to mute the sound to make the game more fun.

I have devided the challenge in two videos. Ten songs were selected for this Guess the RUSH song Part 1. Enjoy!

Leave in the comments how many songs you guessed right!

I was 10 out of 10, however, to be fair. I have been a Rush fan since 1980, and a drummer since 1978 as a school band child😂👍

[alwaysprepared]

Cool idea! I didn't do too well, but it was still fun!!!

[chrisbergmanniii]

All ten due to the accuracy in which they were played. Well done.

[thiagooliveira]

Time Stand Still is one of my favorite Rush songs and yet it was the only one I didn't recognize. Gotta have my ears checked.

[RushFanatic]

Got all ten correct. As a bassist, I’ve learned to hone in what Neil did on those songs, and it blows me away every time. The last one took me a minute until I figured out what you were doing on the cowbells. You did a phenomenal job. You even nailed the supposedly “impossible” timbale part Neil borrowed from Phil Collins on #9.

[jeffmorrison]

Excellent work, got them all off your drumming skills. Nicely done my friend.

[ericecho]

Absolutely awesome idea for a video quiz for Rush fans!
I was so annoyed with the first two, like "argh come ON, gimme a challenge ffs..." hahaha
then the others made me think a bit.
Love it!

I didn't do so well myself, but I instantly identified TSOR, YYZ, and Digital Man.

[regiomartins]

9/10. Amazing skills, very entertaining! Cant wait for the Peart II. This also shows how an incredible composer Neil was. We miss you very much...

[ericsheckton]

Nice drumming. As a RUSH fanatic and fellow drummer, I got 10. Nice job! The entire RUSH catalog is burned into my brain. The only band in which every RUSH song is my favorite song. They are so fun and fulfilling to play.
Keep on rocking!!

[drummertravis]

Not bad. I got 8/10. I never would have gotten Circumstances. Anything on Hemispheres and Farewell to Kings and I'm lost. Good job!

[j.d.harvis]

Awesome quiz!! Great drumming! I got 9, because FBN duped me on the 2 spot. Well done, just don't quiz me on anything later than Vapor Trails. I lost it from there.

[davin]

Nice quiz. As a guitarist a few I had to take a second pass or stop and think silently.
But 10 out of 10!

[DufferOne-kj]

Do you honestly think we wouldn’t know (any of them???) within a second – bro, we’re Rush fans

[neilens]

10/10 for me, but it took several listens for me to get Fly By Night and Time Stand Still. Great job!

[maximumbrap]

You got me with fly by night. I almost missed the big money except the fill at the end. Nice drumming!

[luizgustavoschneider]

Great video!!
10 of 10, but I play drums and big Rush fan 😊

[lisak]

Really creative way to challenge the listener. Love it. I barely passed with a 7/10

[vicenteraira]

Got The Spirit of Radio, YYZ, Subdivisions, Anthem, Circumstances and The Big Money. 6/10

[nilma]

This was awesome!! I missed 2/10. I didn’t recognize #3 Fly By Night or #5 Limelight.
