Overview of "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush on Drums

JOEL SIEGEL: All right, so we're going to talk about a beat, one of the beats from a Rush tune called "La Villa Strangiato." The drummer from Rush is Neil Peart. He is a pretty famous drummer. He is quite the technician. He is known for his fills and stuff. This may be kind of comical, but I'm talking about it without having like 3 million toms and cymbals, but the beat that we're going to be talking about is the one that I was just playing. And this is kind of a cool beat because it kind of brings into play some of the hi-hat lifts, getting some hi-hat lifts and kind of some maybe trickier spots on basically sixteenth note upbeats. So you have that going and you also have the element those corresponding with a kick, you have that sound a lot, okay? You also--it's sixteenth heavy on the hi-hats, and it's also a beat where you're not playing the traditional tune for that beat every single bar. Instead, you're just playing on beat four, so it kind of has a little more-it just has a different feel, it's a little more open and this beat in particular has that riff syncopated [SOUNDS LIKE] pam, pam, pam, pam-pam; pam, pam, pam, pam-pam. The next clip, we'll take a closer look at the beat, slow it down, and you'll see what I mean.
