“Driven” by Rush came up on my shuffle this morning. It is one of my many favorite Rush tunes. And it brings all of their talents to bear. Awesome drums. Driving guitar, with interesting licks/leads. And a bass that you remember and drives the song forward. Googling “Driven” I found this video of a home drummer, playing along. I wonder what his neighbors think? I’m a guitar player, but I dabble on the drums. And Neal Peart of Rush is, for me, the definitive rock drummer. He also write’s Rush’s songs, and they aren’t weepy love stuff… If you can’t follow the words for this song, find them here.
Anyway, they SHOULD be in the Rock Hall of Fame. And if they aren’t, then it isn’t a legitimate museum, nor one I’ll ever enter should I dare to visit Cleveland.
I’m pleased my son likes Rush. The legacy continues…

Listen to “Scars” on Presto. It has a drum track that is very similar to what he later does during the live concert drum solos. I wonder if anyone has you tubed themselves to it.
