I've been getting sooo many requests for this song! Neil Peart is amazing.
I really had to concentrate to remember all the parts in this one (and shoot lots of takes before i nailed it)!!
Luv U,
Meytal

RIP Neil Peart - you were THE inspiration for drummers everywhere. Keep the dream alive, Meytal.

So I've gone down the YouTube rabbit hole tonight, and in the past hour I've watched Maria Barbieri cover YYZ on guitar, Anna Sentina cover it on bass, and you cover it on drums. You three would make the most amazing Rush cover band ever -- and I can't wait to show these to my daughter in the morning. I can show her the Rush in Rio DVD all day, but she pays twice as much attention when she sees a girl doing something she likes to do. She's only 5 and wants to learn an instrument, and I have no doubt this is really going to inspire her. Thank you!

Somewhere up in heaven the Professor is watching this with a smile. Great job Meytal

[Jerseaby]

As a drummer myself, Neal Peart is not easy to cover.  Great job, well done!

[iggyfritz]

The proffesors job was never an easy one as you can see she does'nt smile as much here because of intense concentration. Meytal you just proved you can play anything.
You are amazingly gifted. God bless.

Good, loving tribute to Neil Peart, himself. He will be missed by all who have remembered him and his brilliant drumming for the rock band Rush in his lifetime. Rest in peace.

I love that little "wow, this is tough!" look at 2:22. Great work!   :-)

[thomasschaefer]

I can't believe how good this song is, after all these years. Meytal plays it well!!

Damn! I AM ALWAYS TAKEN BY HOW EASY THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN MAKES THIS LOOK! I been playing for decades, and many of these songs I used to take a ton of tries to get it! She makes me feel like a novice! AS SHE SMILES!! With that beautiful smile while playing, just to make it look even easier!! What a wonderful talent brought to us!

[jamminjoe]

Damn, this girl didn't miss a lick!! She was spot on throughout the whole song!! Wow, just wow!!

[jake]

Been watching your covers for a little bit and I love how you can actually tell how much you were concentrating on this song. Not an easy task to nail this cover by any means and when you look at the camera a 2:22 and give a little "Oh My God, please let me smash the rest of this", it shows a quality of humility and also appreciation for what you know will be a highly viewed and critiqued video. Over 1.4 mil views as of right now! I think you nailed it as you always do, at least in the videos I've watched. Keep killin it!!

[garnerbrown]

Neil would definitely be proud. Thank you, Meytal. ❤

[shawnthefishguy]

I am almost 50 years old and I've been listening to Rush most of my life I think you are amazing and it's a pleasure to hear what you did in Neil pearts legacy

[genedees]

Quads!!! Lord have mercy! Yes!!! Perfect execution!
I can only admire the complete focus and hours of practice it took to get this right!
Drummers today do not utilize quads enough! It is definitely a crowd pleaser! Not only the quads but the pure musicality that Neil had!
And you nailed it perfectly sir! Bravo and may the professor rest in peace…

[frankcsernetics]

Awesome cover. Made me cry as I'm still so overwhelmed by the tragic loss of Neil Pert!

[DamagedFX]

NAILED IT

Finesse like a real pro. Smooth with the sticks like you've done this a billion times.

[michaelhayward]

Damn Meytal that was freakin fantastic cranked up loud, sounds clean and of course your playing is spot on, saw this before, don't know if I commented, gotta love doing Neil songs, God rest his soul.

[Terk]

Anyone who can do YYZ on drums, will always be in my heart!!! Keep

[lucarvian]

I goofed around on the drums in a high school band playing rush, led zep, acdc. But was never this good!!! Sold my drums 26 yrs ago to get my wife an engagement ring and haven't played since. Wow, this is awesome and inspiring. Makes we want to go out and buy an old set just to play around again!!

[mmheater]

Huge Rush fan for many years & bigger Peart fan even. Anyone, and I mean anyone, who talks an ounce of shit about any of her covers is nothing more than a hater. It takes some major juevos, for most any drummer out there right now, to cover songs she has, and publicly.

One thing I'm certain of. Anyone who has, or would throw up a cover video like this, could never match the true & obvious joy emitted thru the screen from her. Nahh. Be seeing nothing but concentration bordering on panic, as they attempt keeping up with The Professor. Keep kickin' ass, Meytal.
